Victor is spending HKD300,000 per year and is quite satisfied with the present living lifestyle and standard. He is now 38 and plans to retire at age 60. He believes he can live up to age 85. He wants to keep 80% of the current living lifestyle and standard after retirement.

Victor would like all the money for retirement to be ready when he retires. He also would like the retirement money for spending in a year to be ready at the beginning of every year. He plans to start saving for the retirement reserve with an equity unit trust fund of 10% annual rate of return. Average expected annual rate of return during his retirement period is 6%. Assume the average long term inflation is 4% p.a.

a. What is the required annual expenditure at the time when Victor retires at age 60?

b. What is the total amount of money required for 25 years after Victor’s retirement? (at the beginning of age 60)

c. How much should Victor save at the beginning of each month from now on until the age of 60 in order to meet the required amount at (c)?

Consider two mutually exclusive projects with the following cash flows:

At a cost of capital of 8%, which project should the company choose? Explain which decision rule you should use in this case.

St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from $27,000 to $44,000 per year. The new machine will cost $80,000, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new riveting machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the firm's WACC is 12%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value.

What is the NPV of the project? Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Calmex is situated in North India. It specialises in manufacturing overhead water tanks. The management of Calmex has identified a niche market in certain southern cities that need a particular size of water tank not currently manufactured by the company. The company is thus thinking of producing a new type of tank. The survey of company’s marketing department reveals that the company could sell 1,20,000 tanks each year for 6 years at a price of Rs 700 each. The company’s current facilities cannot be used to manufacture new tanks. Thus it will have to buy new machinery. A manufacturer has offered 2 options to the company.
1st option: Buy 4 small machines with the capacity of manufacturing 30,000 tanks each at Rs 15 million each. The machine operation and manufacturing cost of each tank will be Rs 535.
2nd option: Buy 1 large machine with the capacity of 120000 units p.a. for Rs 120 million. The machine operation and manufacturing cost of each tank will be Rs 400.
The company is looking at raising the required capital through a mix of debt, equity and retained earnings in the proportion of 0.5, 0.25 and 0.25 respectively. The company has just declared a dividend of 15% on equity share of face value of Rs 100 each. The expected future growth rate in dividend is 12% p.a. The equity share is currently trading at a price of Rs 168. The bonds of face value Rs 1000 and coupon rate of 16% p.a. is currently trading at Rs 900. Five years remain to maturity and bonds are redeemable at Rs 1100. Assume the applicable tax rate to be 50%. Which option should the company accept? Use alternative techniques of evaluation (NPV, Payback period and Profitability index).

Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $285,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. The new machine will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. Management thinks the machine would have a value of $22,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. Net operating working capital would increase by $26,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life. Holmes's marginal tax rate is 25%, and a 12% WACC is appropriate for the project.

The Dauten Toy Corporation uses an injection molding machine that was purchased prior to the new tax legislation. This machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,400, and it can be sold for $2,600 at this time. Thus, the annual depreciation expense is $2,400/6 = $400 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $500 at the end of its useful life.

Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $9,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $800 per year; even so, the new machine's much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by $1,000 per year. The new machine would require that inventories be increased by $2,500, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $800. Dauten's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%.
