You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a very common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $4,900,000, and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it actually will be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for $1,400,000 per year for four years. Assume that the tax rate is 24 percent. You can borrow at 6 percent before taxes. |
What is the NAL of the lease? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |

Harrimon Industries bonds have 5 years left to maturity. Interest is paid annually, and the bonds have a $1,000 par value and a coupon rate of 8%.
a) What is the yield to maturity at a current market price of $792? Round your answer to two decimal places. %
b) What is the yield to maturity at a current market price of $1,068? Round your answer to two decimal places. %
c) Would you pay $792 for each bond if you thought that a "fair" market interest rate for such bonds was 13%-that is, if rd = 13%? (options listed below)
1) You would not buy the bond as long as the yield to maturity at this price is greater than your required rate of return.
2)You would not buy the bond as long as the yield to maturity at this price is less than the coupon rate on the bond.
3) You would buy the bond as long as the yield to maturity at this price is greater than your required rate of return.
4)You would buy the bond as long as the yield to maturity at this price is less than your required rate of return.
5) You would buy the bond as long as the yield to maturity at this price equals your required rate of return.

Shao Airlines is considering the purchase of two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million, and will produce net cash flows of $30 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million and will produce net cash flows of $27 million per year. Shao plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Inflation in operating costs, airplane costs, and fares are expected to be zero, and the company's cost of capital is 11%.
By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better project (plane)? Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.23 million should be entered as 1.23, not 1,230,000. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Kim Inc. must install a new air conditioning unit in its main plant. Kim must install one or the other of the units; otherwise, the highly profitable plant would have to shut down. Two units are available, HCC and LCC (for high and low capital costs, respectively). HCC has a high capital cost but relatively low operating costs, while LCC has a low capital cost but higher operating costs because it uses more electricity. The costs of the units are shown here. Kim's WACC is 7.5%.
