1. The Frosty Delights Ice-cream House currently rents an ice-cream machine for $50,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead, and is comparing two options:
I. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $150,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expense.
II. Purchase a more advanced machine for $250,000. This machine will require $15,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expense and lower annual packaging costs by $10,000. Additionally, the machine will require an upfront expense of $35,000 for training of operators.
Maintenance and packaging costs are paid at the end of each year, but the rent of the machine is paid at the beginning of the year. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 7.75% per year. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line to zero method over seven years and that they will be used for 10 years with no salvage value at the end of use. The marginal corporate tax rate is 22%. Should the Frosty Delights Ice-cream House continue to rent, purchase its current machine, or purchase the advanced machine? (10 points)

Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers stocks them in conveniently located warehouses ships them to its chaun or retail stores and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 is shown here

Cash $3.5
Receivables 26.0
Inventories 58.0
Total current assets 87.5
Net fixed assets 35.0
Total assets 122.5

Accounts Payable $9.0
Notes Payable 18.0
Line of Credit 0
Accruals 8.5
Total current liabilities 35.5
Mortgage loan 6.0
Common stock 15.0
Retained Earnings 66.0
Total liabilities and equity 122.5

Sales for 2016 were $200 million and net income for the year was $6 million so the firms peofit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $2.4 million to common stockholders so its payout ratio was 40%, and it operated at full capacity. Assume that all assets/sales ratios (Spotaneous liabilities) / sales ratios, the profit margin, and the payout ratio remains constant in 2017.

a. If sales are projected to increase by $40 million or 20% during 2017 use the AFN equation to detetmine Uptons projected external capital requirements.

b. Using the AFN equation determine Uptons self supporting growth rate . That is what is the maximum growth rate the firm cam achieve without having to employ nonspontaneous external funds?
c.Use the forecasted financial statement method
to forecast Utons balance sheet for December 2017. Assume that all additional external capital is raised as a line of credit at the end of the year and is reflected. Assume Uptons profit margin and dividend payout ratio will be the same in 2017 as they were in 2016. What is the amount of line of credit is taken out on last day of e year and you are given the projected sales, profit margin, and dividend payout ratio; these figures allow you to calculate the 2017 addition to retained earnings for the balance sheet without actually constructing a full income statement.

Brenda Borrow is considering a loan so that she can finance the
purchase of Real Estate. Brenda has researched the fact that a Fully
Amortized Mortgage real estate loan for a period of 30 years will
obligate her to pay $1400 per month over the life of the loan.
Brenda cannot afford the $1400 per month payment - not yet
anyway. Perhaps later - when her job begins paying her more
salary - she could afford the $1400 per month payment. Now
Brenda can only afford to pay $1100 per month. Brenda has been
told of an arrangement called a "Graduated Payment Mortgage."   
Discuss the concept of a "Graduated Payment Mortgage." Discuss
the mechanics of the loan and discuss the pitfalls of the loan.   
Compare the "Graduated Payment Mortgage" with the "Fully
Amortized Mortgage." Advise Brenda regarding the selection of the
mortgage type.

Analysis of an expansion project

Companies invest in expansion projects with the expectation of increasing the earnings of its business.

Consider the case of Garida Co.:

Garida Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs:

Year 1

Year 2

Year 3

Year 4

Unit sales 3,500 4,000 4,200 4,250
Sales price $38.50 $39.88 $40.15 $41.55
Variable cost per unit $22.34 $22.85 $23.67 $23.87
Fixed operating costs except depreciation $37,000 $37,500 $38,120 $39,560
Accelerated depreciation rate 33% 45% 15% 7%

This project will require an investment of $15,000 in new equipment. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project’s four-year life. Garida pays a constant tax rate of 40%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project’s net present value (NPV) would be when using accelerated depreciation. (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

$49,564

$43,099

$51,719

$34,479

Now determine what the project’s NPV would be when using straight-line depreciation. (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)   

The     depreciation method will result in the highest NPV for the project.

No other firm would take on this project if Garida turns it down. How much should Garida reduce the NPV of this project if it discovered that this project would reduce one of its division’s net after-tax cash flows by $600 for each year of the four-year project? (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

$1,861

$2,047

$1,582

$1,117

Garida spent $2,750 on a marketing study to estimate the number of units that it can sell each year. What should Garida do to take this information into account?

Increase the amount of the initial investment by $2,750.

The company does not need to do anything with the cost of the marketing study because the marketing study is a sunk cost.

Increase the NPV of the project $2,750.
