Bilbo Baggins wants to save money to meet three objectives. First, he would like to be able to retire 30 years from now with a retirement income of $29,000 per month for 20 years, with the first payment received 30 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rivendell in 10 years at an estimated cost of $370,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 20 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $1,250,000 to his nephew Frodo. He can afford to save $3,100 per month for the next 10 years. If he can earn an EAR of 10 percent before he retires and an EAR of 7 percent after he retires, how much will he have to save each month in Years 11 through 30? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

You are scheduled to receive annual payments of $10,000 for each of the next 25 years. Your discount rate is 8.5%. What is the difference in the present value if you receive these payments at the beginning of each year rather than at the end of each year

(c) Now, assume that BBA’s dividends are expected to grow at 30% per year for the next 3 years, and then maintain a long-run constant growth rate of 6% per year in the foreseeable future.

(i) What is BBA’s stock price today?

(ii) What are the expected dividend yield and capital gain yield today?

(iii) What are the expected dividend yield and capital gain yield in Year 3?

Suppose that Ramos contributes $6000/year into a traditional IRA earning interest at the rate of 4%/year compounded annually, every year after age 35 until his retirement at age 65. At the same time, his wife Vanessa deposits $4700/year into a Roth IRA earning interest at the same rate as that of Ramos and also for a period of 30 years. Suppose that the investments of both Ramos and Vanessa are in a marginal tax bracket of 35% at the time of their retirement and that they both wish to withdraw all of the money in their IRAs at that time.

(a) After all due taxes are paid, who will have the larger amount?

RamosVanessa   

(b) How much larger will that amount be? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Discuss the three different ways a financial manager can choose a benchmark. Provide an example for each.

You are considering expanding your product line that currently consists of skateboards to include​ gas-powered skateboards, and you feel you can sell 8,000 of these per year for 10 years​ (after which time this project is expected to shut down with​ solar-powered skateboards taking​ over). The gas skateboards would sell for ​$90 each with variable costs of ​$45 for each one​ produced, and annual fixed costs associated with production would be ​150,000. In​ addition, there would be a ​$1,400,000 initial expenditure associated with the purchase of new production equipment. It is assumed that this initial expenditure will be depreciated using the simplified​ straight-line method down to zero over 10 years. The project will also require a​ one-time initial investment of $40,000 in net working capital associated with​ inventory, and this working capital investment will be recovered when the project is shut down. ​ Finally, assume that the​ firm's marginal tax rate is 38 percent.

a.  What is the initial cash outlay associated with this​ project?

b.  What are the annual net cash flows associated with this project for years 1 through 9​?

c.  What is the terminal cash flow in year 10 ​(that is, what is the free cash flow in year

10 plus any additional cash flows associated with termination of the​project)?

d.  What is the​ project's NPV given a required rate of return of 9

percent​?

7-3: Bond Valuation
Problem Walk-Through

Bond valuation

Bond X is noncallable and has 20 years to maturity, a 8% annual coupon, and a $1,000 par value. Your required return on Bond X is 10%; and if you buy it, you plan to hold it for 5 years. You (and the market) have expectations that in 5, years the yield to maturity on a 15-year bond with similar risk will be 12%. How much should you be willing to pay for Bond X today? (Hint: You will need to know how much the bond will be worth at the end of 5 years.) Round your answer to the nearest cent.

7-4: Bond Yields

Yield to maturity and yield to call

Kaufman Enterprises has bonds outstanding with a $1,000 face value and 10 years left until maturity. They have an 10% annual coupon payment, and their current price is $1,170. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (Call price = $1,090).

1. What is the yield to maturity? Round your answer to two decimal places.
   %
   
2. What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? Round your answer to two decimal places.
   %
   
3. Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds? Why?
   
   1. Investors would expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTC because the YTC is greater than the YTM.
   2. Investors would not expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTM because the YTM is greater than the YTC.
   3. Investors would not expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTM because the YTM is less than the YTC.
   4. Investors would expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTC because the YTC is less than the YTM.
   5. Investors would expect the bonds to be called and to earn the YTC because the YTM is less than the YTC.

4. The bond's indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call the bonds at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, the bonds may be called at 109% of face value; but in each of the next 4 years, the call percentage will decline by 1%. Thus, in Year 6, they may be called at 108% of face value; in Year 7, they may be called at 107% of face value; and so forth. If the yield curve is horizontal and interest rates remain at their current level, when is the latest that investors might expect the firm to call the bonds?

1. Kerria Inc. would like to buy $130,000 of new candy-making equipment. However, the company has a major loan maturing in three years and needs this money back at that time to avoid bankruptcy. The candy-making equipment is expected to increase the cash flows by $35,000 in the first year, $40,000 in the second year, and $50,000 a year for the following two years. Should Kerria Inc. buys the equipment at this time? Why or why not?

   		yes; because the money will be recovered in two years
   		yes; because the money will be recovered in less than three years
   		yes; because the money will be recovered in one year
   		no; because the money will be recovered in more than three years

2. You are considering an investment for which you require a 10 percent rate of return. The investment will cost $55,000 and produce cash inflows of $10,000 a year for 9 years. Should you accept this project based on its internal rate of return? Why or why not?

   		no; because the IRR is 9.17 percent
   		yes; because the IRR is 9.17 percent
   		yes; because the IRR is 11.17 percent
   		no; because the IRR is 11.17 percent

You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $90,000, and it would cost another $13,500 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $27,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $15,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $79,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 35%.
