The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $830,000, and it would cost another $19,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $511,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $17,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $442,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 40%.

AFN equation

Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 20% from $8.6 million in 2016 to $10.32 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 60%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Forecasted Statements and Ratios

Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is shown here (millions of dollars):

Cash $   3.5 Accounts payable $   9.0
Receivables 26.0 Notes payable 18.0
Inventories 58.0 Line of credit 0
Total current assets $ 87.5 Accruals 8.5
Net fixed assets 35.0 Total current liabilities $ 35.5
Mortgage loan 6.0
Common stock 15.0
Retained earnings 66.0
Total assets $122.5 Total liabilities and equity $122.5

Sales for 2016 were $250 million and net income for the year was $7.5 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $3 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate was 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios, (spontaneous liabilities)/sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remain constant in 2017. Do not round intermediate calculations.

  1. If sales are projected to increase by $60 million, or 24%, during 2017, use the AFN equation to determine Upton's projected external capital requirements. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as 1.2, not 1,200,000. Round your answer to two decimal places.
    $ million
  2. Using the AFN equation, determine Upton's self-supporting growth rate. That is, what is the maximum growth rate the firm can achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
    %
  3. Use the forecasted financial statement method to forecast Upton's balance sheet for December 31, 2017. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected (because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt).
    Assume Upton's profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2017 as they were in 2016. What is the amount of the line of credit reported on the 2017 forecasted balance sheets? (Hint: You don't need to forecast the income statements because the line of credit is taken out on last day of the year and you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2017 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet without actually constructing a full income statement.) Round your answers to the nearest cent.

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?
