A firm is considering replacing the existing industrial air conditioning unit. They will pick one of two units. The first, the AC360, costs $26,455.00 to install, $5,130.00 to operate per year for 7 years at which time it will be sold for $6,941.00. The second, RayCool 8, costs $41,330.00 to install, $2,082.00 to operate per year for 5 years at which time it will be sold for $8,917.00. The firm’s cost of capital is 6.16%. What is the equivalent annual cost of the AC360? Assume that there are no taxes.

A firm is must choose to buy the GSU-3300 or the UGA-3000. Both machines make the firm’s production process more efficient which in turn increases incremental cash flows. The GSU-3300 produces incremental cash flows of $25,232.00 per year for 8 years and costs $104,695.00. The UGA-3000 produces incremental cash flows of $27,599.00 per year for 9 years and cost $126,254.00. The firm’s WACC is 9.79%. What is the equivalent annual annuity of the GSU-3300? Assume that there are no taxes.

Suppose that XTel currently is selling at $30 per share. You buy 800 shares using $18,000 of your own money, borrowing the remainder of the purchase price from your broker. The rate on the margin loan is 8%.
a. What is the percentage increase in the net
worth of your brokerage account if the price of XTel
immediately changes to (a) $33; (b) $30; (c) $27?
(Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever
required. Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign.
Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
b. If the maintenance margin is 25%, how low can
XTel’s price fall before you get a margin call? (Round your
answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. How would your answer to requirement 2 would
change if you had financed the initial purchase with only $12,000
of your own money? (Round your answer to 2 decimal
places.)
d. What is the rate of return on your margined position (assuming again that you invest $18,000 of your own money) if XTel is selling after one year at (a) $33; (b) $30; (c) $27? (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
e. Continue to assume that a year has passed. How low can XTel’s price fall before you get a margin call?

Miller Model with Corporate and Personal Taxes
Cruz Corporation has $100 billion of debt outstanding. An otherwise identical firm has no debt and has a market value of $450 billion. Under the Miller model, what is Cruz’s value if the federal-plus-state corporate tax rate is 28%, the effective personal tax rate on stock is 17%, and the personal tax rate on debt is 29%? Enter your answer in billions. For example, an answer of $1.23 billion should be entered as 1.23, not 1,230,000,000. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Risk and Rates of Return: Stand-Alone Risk Stand-alone risk is the risk an investor would face if he or she held only _________________ . No investment should be undertaken unless its expected rate of return is high enough to compensate for its perceived _________________ . The expected rate of return is the return expected to be realized from an investment; it is calculated as the _________________ of the probability distribution of possible results as shown below: The _________________ an asset's probability distribution, the lower its risk. Two useful measures of stand-alone risk are standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the variability of a set of observations as shown below: If you have a sample of actual historical data, then the standard deviation calculation would be changed as follows: The coefficient of variation is a better measure of stand-alone risk than standard deviation because it is a standardized measure of risk per unit; it is calculated as the _________________ divided by the expected return. The coefficient of variation shows the risk per unit of return, so it provides a more meaningful risk measure when the expected returns on two alternatives are not _________________ . Quantitative Problem: You are given the following probability distribution for CHC Enterprises:

You company wants to build a new small plant that will cost $90,000,000 to construct. You will
pay the construction engineering firm $45,000,000 today and another $45,000,000 at the end of the first year of construction. The plant will be finished 24 months from the start of construction. Each year of operation, the plant will take charges of $5,000,000 per year at the beginning of the year for raw materials, labor, and maintenance. Each year of operation, the plant will take credits of $20,000,000 in sales revenues at the end of the year. If the company requires a MARR of 15% and the plant is expected to have a life of 15 years of production, answer the following questions:
a. What is the simple Payback Period for this project ignoring the effects of time value of money? b. What is the NPV of this project using the MARR? c. What is the Discounted Payback Period of this project using the MARR? d. What is the IRR for this project?
