Johnson Real Estate Company was founded 25 years ago by the current CEO, David Johnson. The company purchases real estate, including land and buildings, and rents the property to tenants. The company has shown a profit every year for the past 18 years, and the shareholders are satisfied with the company’s management. Prior to founding Johnson Real Estate, David was the founder and CEO of a failed camel farming operation. The resulting bankruptcy made him extremely averse to debt financing. As a result, the company is entirely equity financed, with 8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock currently trades at $37.80 per share. Johnson is evaluating a plan to purchase a huge tract of land in the southeastern United States for $85 million. The land will subsequently be leased to tenant farmers. This purchase is expected to increase Johnson's annual pretax earnings by $14.125 million in perpetuity. Abigail Burton, the company’s new CFO, has been put in charge of the project. Abigail has determined that the company’s current cost of capital is 10.2 percent. She feels that the company would be more valuable if it included debt in its capital structure, so she is evaluating whether the company should issue debt to entirely finance the project. Based on some conversations with investment banks, she thinks that the company can issue bonds at par value with a 6 percent coupon rate. From her analysis, she also believes that a capital structure in the range of 70 percent equity/30 percent debt would be optimal. If the company goes beyond 30 percent debt, its bonds would carry a lower rating and a much higher coupon because the possibility of financial distress and the associated costs would rise sharply. Johnson has a 23 percent corporate tax rate (state and federal). If Johnson wishes to maximize its total market value, would you recommend that it issue debt or equity to finance the land purchase? Explain.

An old two-flat can be purchased for $200,000 cash. The two units can bring in a total of $2,500 per month (allowing for normal vacancies). The total operating expenses for property taxes, repairs, gardening, and so forth are estimated to be $200 per month. For tax purposes, straight-line depreciation over a 20-year remaining life with to a zero salvage value will be used.

Of the total $200,000 cost of the property, $50,000 is the value of the land. Assume a 38% marginal income tax bracket (combined state and federal taxes) applies throughout the 20 years. This tax rate applies to ordinary income and capital gains/losses.

Since there is no growth expected in rents or expenses, depreciation is straight-line, and the tax rate doesn’t change, the ATCF’s for each year, 1 to 20, will be the same.

The following payments are made under an annuity: 12 at the end of the 44th year, 11 at the end of the 55th year, decreasing by 11 each year until nothing is paid. Find the present value if the annual effective rate of interest is 3%.

Fuzzy Restaurant is considering the purchase of a $1,500,000 flat top grill. The grill has an economic life of 8 years and will be fully depreciated using straight line method. The grill is expected to produce 59,000 tacos per year for the next 8 years, with each costing $1.50 to make and priced at $5. Assume the discount rate is 8% and the tax rate is 21%. The restaurant expects the market value of the grill to be $200,000, 8 years from now. Calculate the book value of the grill at the end of year 5. (Round to 2 decimals) Calculate the operating cash flow at the end of year 1. Calculate the net present value.

Finco Inc. manufactures financial calculators. The company is deciding whether to introduce a new calculator. This calculator will sell for $85. The company feels that sales will be 13,500, 13,900, 14,000, 14,200, and 13,000 units per year for the next 5 years. Variable costs will be 30% of sales, and fixed costs are $250,000 per year. The firm hired a marketing team to analyze the viability of the product and the marketing analysis cost $1,000,000. The company plans to use a vacant warehouse to manufacture and store the financial calculators. Based on a recent appraisal the warehouse and the property is worth $2.2 million on an after tax basis. If the company does not sell the property today then it will sell the property 5 years from today at the currently appraised value. This project will require an injection of net working capital at the on set of the project in the amount of $50,000. This net working capital will be fully recovered at the end of the project. The firm will need to purchase some equipment in the amount of $500,000 to produce the new calculators. The machine has a 7 year life and will be depreciated using the straight-line method. At the end of the project, the anticipated market value of the machine is $150,000. The firm requires an 8% return on its investment and has a tax rate of 21%. 1.Calculate the sunk cost of the project. (Enter a positive value and round to the nearest dollar) 2.Calculate the opportunity cost of the project.

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $870,000, and it would cost another $20,000 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 $566,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $18,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $392,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%. Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
