PIB wants to offer a $40 million, 6-months Eurodollar deposit to one of its major clients at 6-months LIBOR less 2.5%. 6-month LIBOR is 5.3%. The bank intends to use the proceeds of this deposit to buy a 5.0% 3-months grade AAA commercial paper and to rollover the investment for another three months at the end of the first three months cycle. To protect itself from interest rate exposure, the bank also buys a “3 against 6” $40 million, FRA for a three month period beginning three months from the day of receipt of the deposit and ending six months from the day of receipt of the deposit. The agreement rate with the seller is 5.0%. There are 94 days in the first three months and 92 days in the remaining three months period.

a. Calculate the banks interest expense on the 6-month Eurodollar deposit.

b. Calculate the bank interest income on the first three month commercial paper loan.

c. Calculate the value of the FRA from the last three months of the investment period if 3-months LIBOR (SR) for that period is 5.3%.

Sutter Lakeside Hospital, a taxpaying entity, is considering a new ambulatory surgical center (ASC). The building and equipment for the new ASC will cost $5,500,000. The equipment and building will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the project’s five-year life to a $2,500,000 salvage value. The new ASC’s projected net revenue and expenses are as follows. Net revenues are expected to be $5,000,000 the first year and will grow by 9 percent each year thereafter. The operating expenses, which exclude interest and depreciation expenses, will be $4,500,000 the first year and are expected to grow annually by 3 percent for every year after that. Interest expense will be $700,000 per year, and principal payments on the loan will be $1,000,000 a year. In the first year of operation, the new ASC is expected to generate additional after-tax cash flows of $600,000 from radiology and other ancillary services, which will grow at an annual rate of 5 percent per year for every year after that. Starting in year 1, net working capital will increase by $350,000 per year for the first four years, but during the last year of the project, net working capital will decrease by $250,000. The tax rate for the hospital is 40 percent, and its cost of capital is 15 percent. Use both the NPV and IRR approaches to determine if this project should be undertaken. (Hint: see Appendices C, D, and E.)

Masters Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $415,000 is estimated to result in $163,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $63,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $26,000, along with an additional $3,400 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop’s tax rate is 21 percent and its discount rate is 8 percent. (MACRS schedule) Calculate the NPV of this project.

​(Calculating free cash flows​) At​ present, Solartech Skateboards is considering expanding its product line to include​ gas-powered skateboards;​ however, it is questionable how well they will be received by skateboarders. Although you feel there is a 40 percent chance you will sell 10,000 of these per year for 10 years​ (after which time this project is expected to shut down because​ solar-powered skateboards will become more​ popular), you also recognize that there is a 30 percent chance that you will only sell 1,000 and also a 30 percent chance you will sell 17,000. The gas skateboards would sell for $100 each and have a variable cost of $40 each. Regardless of how many you​ sell, the annual fixed costs associated with production would be $130,000. In​ addition, there would be an initial expenditure of $1,200,000 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. Because of the number of stores that will need​ inventory, the working capital requirements are the same regardless of the level of sales. This project will require a​ one-time initial investment of $60,000 in net working​ capital, and that​ working-capital investment will be recovered when the project is shut down.​ Finally, assume that the​ firm's marginal tax rate is 31 percent.

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

b. What are the annual free cash flows associated with the project for years 1 through 9 under each sales​ forecast? What are the expected annual free cash flows 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 the termination of the​ project)?

d. Using the expected free cash​ flows, what is the​ project's NPV given a required rate of return of 11 ​percent? What would the​ project's NPV be if 10,000 skateboards were​ sold?

***PLEASE, be as detailed as possible, I couldn't figure this problem out so please only answer if you know how to do this!***
