You are considering an option to purchase or rent a single residential property. You can rent it for $4,000 per month and the owner would be responsible for maintenance, property insurance, and property taxes.

Alternatively, you can purchase this property for $300,000 and finance it with an 80% mortgage at 7% interest, 25 year - fixed. The loan can be prepaid at any time with no penalty.

You have done research in the market and found that properties have historically appreciated at an annual rate of 4% per year. Rents on similar properties have also increased at the same rate. Maintenance and insurance are currently $2,500 each per year and they have been increasing at a rate of 4% per year. Property taxes have generally been about 3% of the property value each year.   

If you purchase, the plan is to occupy the property for at least four years. Selling costs would be 7% in the year of sale.

Based on this information you must decide:

  • In order to earn a 10% internal rate of return, should you buy the property or rent it for a four-year period of ownership?

you have the choice of two investments of equal risk. The required return for both is 8%. The first pays 1500 per month for 30 years and starts in 2 years. The second pays 15000 per year in perpetuity, but starts in 3 years. If the cost of both the investments is the same, which one would you prefer and why?

Woodbridge Manufacturing is also considering developing a new assembly line on which to build another new product (not covered in the text). In what category should the costs listed below be placed:

Initial investment outlay (time0)
Supplemental annual cash flows (time1 through timeN)
Terminal value (timeN), or Disregarded?


Also state your reasoning for choosing that classification. Consider each element individually.
This product has been developed over the past three years, at a total cost of $125,000.
The building that Woodbridge is planning to be used is currently rented out to another company for $10,000 per month, and they are on a month-to-month lease so the lease can be terminated with 90 days' notice.
The new product will replace a current product, which is currently generating $12,000 per month in free cash flow (cash earnings less applicable costs).
The machines will cost $750,000.
Travel to see similar machines in operation at another company's factory costed $3,500.
Freight and installation for the machines will cost $75,000.
It is projected that the additional inventories valued at $80,000 will be required to support sales of the product.
Woodbridge will offer 90 day credit terms to purchasers of the new product which are expected to expand accounts receivable by an average of $145,000.
The gross profit (or gross margin) on the sales of the product is expected to be $360,000 per year for the five years of the project.
Purchases of material for the project is expected to increase the balance of the accounts payable by $32,000 during the project life.
Interest on a loan taken out around the time of starting the project will be $12,000 per year.
The salvage value of the machines is expected to be $236,000 at the end of the project.

Gregory is an analyst at a wealth management firm. One of his clients holds a $10,000 portfolio that consists of four stocks. The investment allocation in the portfolio along with the contribution of risk from each stock is given in the following table:

Stock

Investment Allocation

Beta

Standard Deviation

Atteric Inc. (AI) 35% 0.600 38.00%
Arthur Trust Inc.(AT) 20% 1.500 42.00%
Li Corp. (LC) 15% 1.100 45.00%
Transfer Fuels Co. (TF) 30% 0.500 49.00%

Gregory calculated the portfolio’s beta as 0.825 and the portfolio’s expected return as 12.19%.

Gregory thinks it will be a good idea to reallocate the funds in his client’s portfolio. He recommends replacing Atteric Inc.’s shares with the same amount in additional shares of Transfer Fuels Co. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 7.50%.

According to Gregory’s recommendation, assuming that the market is in equilibrium, how much will the portfolio’s required return change?

0.26 percentage points

0.20 percentage points

0.32 percentage points

0.30 percentage points

Analysts’ estimates on expected returns from equity investments are based on several factors. These estimations also often include subjective and judgmental factors, because different analysts interpret data in different ways.

Suppose, based on the earnings consensus of stock analysts, Gregory expects a return of 13.43% from the portfolio with the new weights. Does he think that the revised portfolio, based on the changes he recommended, is undervalued, overvalued, or fairly valued?

Undervalued

Fairly valued

Overvalued

Suppose instead of replacing Atteric Inc.’s stock with Transfer Fuels Co.’s stock, Gregory considers replacing Atteric Inc.’s stock with the equal dollar allocation to shares of Company X’s stock that has a higher beta than Atteric Inc. If everything else remains constant, the portfolio’s beta would   .

Suppose you wish to plan for your newborn’s college tuition payment. You intend to make equal quarterly deposits into an account offering annual rate of 6% compounded quarterly on the child’s 1st through 12th birthdays. You expect that tuition payments will be $40,000 every six months by the time the child is ready to enter college. Therefore, your goal is to make eight semi-annual withdrawals of $40,000 each starting on the child’s 18th birthday to be used for his tuition payments. How much must each of the quarterly deposits be such that there will be enough money accumulated in the account to exactly meet the goal? Assume the account offers 6% per year compounded quarterly until the child’s 18th birthday and 6% per year compounded semi- annually after that. [Suggestion: Draw the cash flow diagram to aid you in solving this problem.

Q 10

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 $52,000 per year. The new machine will cost $82,500, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period; so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 10%. 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.
