​(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!***

Question 8 options:

Lucinda Diamanti is 10 years old today (August 15th) and while all she’s interested in is her new bike, her parents Mr. & Mrs. Diamanti are considering how they will pay for her college education beginning in 8 years. They decide to set up a meeting with their financial adviser Cindy Morgan to discuss an education savings plan. During the meeting, the Diamanti’s inform Cindy that they have $8,000 they can use to begin the savings plan, and from what they can determine, Lucinda will require 4 years to complete her undergraduate degree in molecular biology. Cindy consults a reputable college reference to see that tuition costs are currently estimated at $32,000 per year and are expected to grow at 4% each year for the foreseeable future. The Diamanti’s are concerned that they won’t have enough money and ask Cindy how to make sure they have enough to completely pay for Lucinda’s undergraduate education. The Diamanti’s inform Cindy that they want to make deposits into the education savings plan on an annual basis until Lucinda’s first year in college at which point they will stop making contributions. Cindy tells them they can earn 8% annual interest on their savings plan. Your job to answer the following two questions (You may assume there are 8 years between today and the beginning of Lucinda’s first day in college): Assuming the estimates on tuition costs are correct, how much money needs to be in the account when Lucinda begins college in 8 years to fund 4 years of college?

Charlene is evaluating a capital budgeting project that should last for 4 years. The project requires $775,000 of equipment. She is unsure what depreciation method to use in her analysis, straight-line or the 3-year MACRS accelerated method. Under straight-line depreciation, the cost of the equipment would be depreciated evenly over its 4-year life (ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method). The applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The company's WACC is 12%, and its tax rate is 30%.

Grupo​ Bimbo, headquartered in Mexico​ City, is one of the largest bakery companies in the world. On January​ 1st, when the spot exchange rate is Ps 10.83 divided by $​, the company borrows $25.1 million from a New York bank for one year at 6.77 % interest​ (Mexican banks had quoted 9.62 % for an equivalent loan in​ pesos). During that​ year, U.S. inflation is 2.2 % and Mexican inflation is 4.7 %. At the end of the year the firm repays the dollar loan.

a. If Bimbo expected the spot rate at the end of one year to be equal to purchasing power​ parity, what would be the cost to Bimbo of its dollar loan in​ peso-denominated interest?

b. What is the real interest cost​ (adjusted for​ inflation) to​ Bimbo, in​ peso-denominated terms, of borrowing the dollars for one​ year, again assuming purchasing power​ parity?

c. If the actual spot rate at the end of the year turned out to be Ps 9.66 divided by $​, what was the actual​ peso-denominated interest cost of the​ loan?

A 5-year Treasury bond has a 4.75% yield. A 10-year Treasury bond yields 6.05%, and a 10-year corporate bond yields 9.45%. The market expects that inflation will average 2.25% over the next 10 years (IP₁₀ = 2.25%). Assume that there is no maturity risk premium (MRP = 0) and that the annual real risk-free rate, r*, will remain constant over the next 10 years. (Hint: Remember that the default risk premium and the liquidity premium are zero for Treasury securities: DRP = LP = 0.) A 5-year corporate bond has the same default risk premium and liquidity premium as the 10-year corporate bond described. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below.
