Louie’s Leisure Products is considering a project which will require the purchase of $1.5 million of new equipment. Shipping and installation will be an additional $300,000. For tax purposes, the equipment will be depreciated straight-line to a salvage value of $200,000 over the five-year life of the project. Louie’s expects to sell the equipment at the end of five years for $100,000. Annual sales from this project are estimated at $1.2 million with annual operating costs estimated at $500,000. Net working capital is equal to $100,000, and all of the net working capital will be recouped at the end of the project. The firm desires a minimal 14% rate of return on this project. The tax rate is 34%. What is the NPV of the project?

a. A bond that has ​$1 comma 000 par value​ (face value) and a contract or coupon interest rate of 6 percent. A new issue would have a floatation cost of 8 percent of the ​$1 comma 150 market value. The bonds mature in 13 years. The​ firm's average tax rate is 30 percent and its marginal tax rate is 33 percent.
b. A new common stock issue that paid a ​$1.80 dividend last year. The par value of the stock is​ $15, and earnings per share have grown at a rate of 11 percent per year. This growth rate is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. The company maintains a constant​ dividend-earnings ratio of 30 percent. The price of this stock is now ​$29​, but 7 percent flotation costs are anticipated.
c. Internal common equity when the current market price of the common stock is ​$45. The expected dividend this coming year should be ​$3.20​, increasing thereafter at an annual growth rate of 7 percent. The​ corporation's tax rate is 33 percent.
d. A preferred stock paying a dividend of 9 percent on a ​$120 par value. If a new issue is​ offered, flotation costs will be 12 percent of the current price of ​$179.
e. A bond selling to yield 13 percent after flotation​ costs, but before adjusting for the marginal corporate tax rate of 33 percent. In other​ words, 13 percent is the rate that equates the net proceeds from the bond with the present value of the future cash flows​ (principal and​ interest).

Elliot Karlin is a​ 35-year-old bank executive who has just inherited a large sum of money. Having spent several years in the​ bank's investments​ department, he's well aware of the concept of duration and decides to apply it to his bond portfolio. In​ particular, Elliot intends to use $ 1 million of his inheritance to purchase 4 U.S. Treasury​ bonds: 1. An 8.66 %​, ​13-year bond​ that's priced at $ 1,096.15 to yield 7.49 %. 2. A 7.776 %​, ​15-year bond​ that's priced at $ 1016.49 to yield 7.59 %. 3. A​ 20-year stripped Treasury​ (zero coupon)​ that's priced at $ 198.52 to yield 8.25 %. 4. A​ 24-year, 7.41 % bond​ that's priced at $ 956.93 to yield 7.81 %. Note that these bonds are semiannual compounding bonds. a. Find the duration and the modified duration of each bond. b. Find the duration of the whole bond portfolio if Elliot puts $ 250,000 into each of the 4 U.S. Treasury bonds. c. Find the duration of the portfolio if Elliot puts $ 370,000 each into bonds 1 and 3 and $ 130,000 each into bonds 2 and 4. d. Which portfolio-b or c-should Elliot select if he thinks rates are about to head up and he wants to avoid as much price volatility as​ possible? Explain. From which portfolio does he stand to make more in annual interest​ income? Which portfolio would you​ recommend, and​ why?

Cochran Inc. is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $1,950,000. 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 $2,145,000 in annual sales, which costs $1,205,000. If the tax rate is 35%, , OCF is $838,500.Calculate the NPV using the required return of 14% using the cash flows from the previous problem. And Do some sensitivity analysis. Suppose the president lowered the tax rate to 30%. Calculate the NPV again using a 14% required return.
