In 2015, the Keenan Company paid dividends totaling $2,740,000 on net income of $12 million. Note that 2015 was a normal year and that for the past 10 years, earnings have grown at a constant rate of 4%. However, in 2016, earnings are expected to jump to $19.2 million and the firm expects to have profitable investment opportunities of $9.6 million. It is predicted that Keenan will not be able to maintain the 2016 level of earnings growth because the high 2016 earnings level is attributable to an exceptionally profitable new product line introduced that year. After 2016, the company will return to its previous 4% growth rate. Keenan's target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity.

New-Project Analysis
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $930,000, and it would cost another $24,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $620,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $14,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $392,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.

An employee contributes $16,700 to a 401(k) plan each year, and
the company matches 10 percent of this annually, or $1,670. The
employee can allocate the contributions among equities (earning 14
percent annually), bonds (earning 6 percent annually), and money
market securities (earning 4 percent annually). The employee
expects to work at the company 20 years. The employee can
contribute annually along one of the three following
patterns:
| Option 1 | Option 2 | Option 3 | ||||||||||
| Equities | 70 | % | 60 | % | 50 | % | ||||||

| 100 | % | 100 | % | 100 | % | |||||||
Calculate the terminal value of the 401(k) plan for each of the 3
options, assuming all returns and contributions remain constant

You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $2,100,000, have a four-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 160 units per year; price per unit will be $27,000, variable cost per unit will be $16,500, and fixed costs will be $570,000 per year. The required return on the project is 14 percent, and the relevant tax rate is 32 percent. |

19-4 Problem
Big Sky Mining Company must install $1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply.
1. The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class.
2. Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. The firm’s tax rate is 40%.
4. The loan would have an interest rate of 15%. It would be nonamortizing, with onlyinterest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4.
5. The lease terms call for $400,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years.
6. Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of $250,000 at the end of the 4th year.
What is the NAL of the lease?

2. Church Inc. is presently enjoying relatively high growth because of a surge in the demand for its new product. Management expects earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 25% for the next 4 years, after which competition will probably reduce the growth rate in earnings and dividends to zero, i.e., g = 0. The company’s last dividend, D0, was $1.25, its beta is 1.20, the market risk premium is 5.50%, and the risk-free rate is 3.00%. What is the current price of the common stock?

Lakonishok Equipment has an investment opportunity in Europe. The project costs €12 million and is expected to produce cash flows of €2 million in Year 1, €2.4 million in Year 2, and €3.5 million in Year 3. The current spot exchange rate is $1.35/€; and the current risk-free rate in the United States is 2.0 percent, compared to that in Europe of 2.8 percent. The appropriate discount rate for the project is estimated to be 14 percent, the U.S. cost of capital for the company. In addition, the subsidiary can be sold at the end of three years for an estimated €9 million. Use the exact form of interest rate parity in calculating the expected spot rates. What is the NPV of the project in U.S. dollars?

CAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA: ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
A mining company is considering a new project. Because the mine has received a permit, the project would be legal; but it would cause significant harm to a nearby river. The firm could spend an additional $9.33 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental Problem, but it would not be required to do so. Developing the mine (without mitigation) would cost $54 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $18 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $19 million. The risk-adjusted WACC is 11%.
Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Round your answers to
two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
