1- Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.49 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2,010,000 in annual sales, with costs of $705,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $230,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $295,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the project’s Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g. 1,234,567. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

If the required return is 16 percent, what is the project's NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

This topic comes from both Chapter 13 and 15. It is an investment topic, but you will need to refer to Chapter 13 to understand stock splits. You are a financial consultant. Your client owns 200 shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill. This corporation has never had a stock split. Write a message to your client discussing the possibility of a stock split. Explain to your client how a 2:1 split might affect their portfolio of stocks. You will need to do some research on stock splits and study the section on stock-splits from the book in Chapter 13. The Chapter 13 PowerPoint slides are a good resource. Your message must be professionally written, using the proper voice for your audience. It must be completely free of spelling and grammatical errors. Remember to be thorough, but concise, so a maximum of two paragraphs. Use actual Chipotle stock prices in your explanation and focus on what the client needs.

You have $1,000 to invest over an investment horizon of three years. The bond market offers various options. You can buy (i) a sequence of three one-year bonds; (ii) a three-year bond; or (iii) a two-year bond followed by a one-year bond. The current yield curve tells you that the one-year, two-year, and three-year yields to maturity are 3.5 percent, 4 percent, and 4.5 percent respectively. You expect that one-year interest rates will be 4 percent next year and 5 percent the year after that. Assuming annual compounding, compute the return on each of the three investments. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to the nearest two decimal places. Expected return for (i) = ___% Expected return for (ii) =____ % Expected return for (iii) =____ %
