St. Elsewhere buys $30 million in medical supplies from Knight Rider Industries (KRI). KRI offers St. Elsewhere terms of 3/10, net 50. Currently the hospital is paying KRI on day 10. Assume 365 days in a year.

(A) What is the total trade credit available from KRI? $

(B) What is the amount of the costly trade credit? $

(C) Should the hospital continue to pay on day 10, or take the costly credit? Assume the hospital can get a bank loan at 9 percent.

2. No, replace with costly credit

​(Real options and capital budgeting​) You have come up with a great idea for a​ Tex-Mex-Thai fusion restaurant. After doing a financial analysis of this​ venture, you estimate that the initial outlay will be $5.6 million. You also estimate that there is a 50 percent chance that this new restaurant will be well received and will produce annual cash flows of $780,000 per year forever​ (a perpetuity), while there is a 50 percent chance of it producing a cash flow of only $200,000 per year forever​ (a perpetuity) if it​ isn't received well.

a. What is the NPV of the restaurant if the required rate of return you use to discount the project cash flows is 11 ​percent?

b. What are the real options that this analysis may be​ ignoring?

c. Explain why the project may be worthwhile even though you have just estimated that its NPV is​ negative?

***PLEASE, ONLY ANSWER THIS QUESTION IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT AND PLEASE BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE.***

b. What are the dividend yield and capital gains yield for this stock this year, in two years, and in 16 years?

Thank you.

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):

Sales for 2016 were $350 million and net income for the year was $10.5 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $4.2 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 $50 million, or 14.29%, 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.

The mean cost of domestic airfares in the United States rose to an all-time high of $380 per ticket. Airfares were based on the total ticket value, which consisted of the price charged by the airlines plus any additional taxes and fees. Assume domestic airfares are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $120.

a. What is the probability that a domestic airfare is $530 or more (to 4 decimals)?

b. What is the probability that a domestic airfare is $260 or less (to 4 decimals)?

c. What if the probability that a domestic airfare is between $310 and $470 (to 4 decimals)?

d. What is the cost for the 3% highest domestic airfares? (rounded to nearest dollar)

Problem 9.22

You own a company that competes with Old World DVD Company. Instead of selling DVDs, however, your company sells music downloads from a Web site. Things are going well now, but you know that it is only a matter of time before someone comes up with a better way to distribute music. Your company just paid a $1.50 per share dividend, and you expect to increase the dividend 10 percent next year. However, you then expect your dividend growth rate to begin going down—to 5 percent the following year, 2 percent the next year, and to -3 percent per year thereafter. Based upon these estimates, what is the value of a share of your company’s stock? Assume that the required rate of return is 12 percent. (Round dividends in intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 1.5325 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

Today Stock A is worth $25 and has 1000 shares outstanding. Stock B costs $30 and has 500 shares outstanding. Stock C is priced at $50 per share and has 1200 shares outstanding. If tomorrow Stock A is priced at $22, Stock B at $35, and Stock C is worth $48, what would the value-weighted index amount equal? (The index has a base period value of 100.)

What are some of the weaknesses behind risk-based capital standards? ( 250 words or less).

the answers need to be shown in a timeline as well as the answer in #5

=Future value*rate/((1+rate)^t-1)5. You want to buy a boat in 5 years and need to have $8,000 available to use as a down payment. How much would you need to save each year to reach that goal and your money will earn 9%? H

=Future value*rate/((1+rate)^t-1)

=8000*9%/(1.09^5-1)
=1336.739656

6. Refer to #5. Instead of saving each year, you want to save each month to reach your desired $8,000. Assume the same rate and term as above. Note: you cannot divide your answer to #5 by 12.

7. Sandy is buying a car and wants to get a loan of $8,000. If the rate is 6% and term is 5 years, what would the monthly payments be?

8. Diane is going to save $300 every 6 months (twice a year) for 10 years. If the rate is 8%, how much will she have?

9. Ken is going to save $300/month for 10 years, but will start TODAY. If the rate is 8%, how much will he have?   Note the difference in your answer to this problem from #8. Explain WHY is there a difference in your answers?

10. Uncle Guido wants to give you a gift. He tells you he will write a check to you of $1500 in 1 year, $2,600 in year 2 and $3,000 in year 3.   How much does Guido have to set aside now in order to have sufficient funds to write all of those checks? Assume a 10% rate.

11. You get a loan of $100,000 for 10 year term. If the payments are $1,801.85/month, what is the interest rate on this loan (remember all rates are always quoted as annual figures)? Hint: set up timeline and determine which type of TVM problem it resembles. Then solve.

12. Carla will give $200 to you every three months for 10 years (4x per year). At year 10 she will also give $10,000 to you. What amount of money must be available in her bank account in order for her to have enough money to meet her promise. The rate is 12%. Hint: this problem is a combination of 2 types of TVM problems. Your final answer is the sum of the two.

13. Brett has contract that will pay him $10,000 at the end of 5 years. Brett wants money now and not in 5 years, so he is willing to have contract signed over to you (so you would receive that money) if you give him some money today. If you require a 12% interest rate on money you lend to friends. What is the maximum amount you would you be willing to pay for this contract?
