1.) What is the free cash flow of a firm with revenues of $357 million, operating profit margin of 34%, tax rate of 32%, depreciation and amortization expense of $22 million, capital expenditures of $38 million, acquisition expenses of $6 million and change in net working capital of $18 million? Answer in millions, rounded to one decimal place (e.g., $245.63 = 245.6).

2.) You are valuing Soda City Inc. It has $139 million of debt, $74 million of cash, and 189 million shares outstanding. You estimate its cost of capital is 9.1%. You forecast that it will generate revenues of $731 million and $769 million over the next two years. Projected operating profit margin is 36%, tax rate is 22%, reinvestment rate is 51%, and terminal exit value multiple at the end of year 2 is 10. What is your estimate of its share price? Round to one decimal place. ​[Hint: Compute projected FCFF for years 1 and 2 based on info provided, compute terminal value using the exit multiple method, discount it all to find EV, walk the bridge to Equity, divide by number of shares outstanding.]

You work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last 17 years. You expect that the​ drug's profits will be $ 2 million in its first year and that this amount will grow at a rate of 3 % per year for the next 17 years. Once the patent​ expires, other pharmaceutical companies will be able to produce the same drug and competition will likely drive profits to zero. What is the present value of the new drug if the interest rate is 10 % per​ year?

The present value of the new drug is ​?million.  ​(Round to three decimal​ places.)

Net cash flows-No terminal value Central Laundry and Cleaners is considering replacing an existing piece of machinery with a more sophisticated machine. The old machine was purchased 3 years ago at a cost of $47,100, and this amount was being depreciated under MACRS using a​ 5-year recovery period. The machine has 5 years of usable life remaining. The new machine that is being considered costs $76,700 and requires $4,000 in installation costs. The new machine would be depreciated under MACRS using a​ 5-year recovery period. The firm can currently sell the old machine for $54,300 without incurring any removal or cleanup costs. The firm is subject to a tax rate of 40%. The revenues and expenses​ (excluding depreciation and​ interest) associated with the new and the old machines for the next 5 years are given in the table

a. Calculate the initial investment associated with replacement of the old machine by the new one.

b. Determine the incremental operating cash inflows associated with the proposed replacement.​ (Note: Be sure to consider the depreciation in year​ 6.)

c. Depict on a time line the relevant cash flows found in parts (a​) and (b​) associated with the proposed replacement decision.

Consider a project to supply 100 million postage stamps per year to the U.S. Postal Service for the next five years. You have an idle parcel of land available that cost $1,705,000 five years ago; if the land were sold today, it would net you $1,780,000 aftertax. The land can be sold for $1,748,000 after taxes in five years. You will need to install $5.35 million in new manufacturing plant and equipment to actually produce the stamps; this plant and equipment will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s five-year life. The equipment can be sold for $625,000 at the end of the project. You will also need $575,000 in initial net working capital for the project, and an additional investment of $50,000 in every year thereafter. Your production costs are .48 cents per stamp, and you have fixed costs of $1,050,000 per year. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your required return on this project is 10 percent, what bid price should you submit on the contract? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 5 decimal places, e.g., 32.16161.)

What is the bid price?

What are the three different forms of business organization? Explain with examples.

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.

What after-tax IRR would you expect assuming that the property is held for twenty years and then sold for $50,000?
