Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $8.8 million in 2016 to $11.00 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $4 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 70%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations.

New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,070,000, and it would cost another $16,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $595,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $20,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $376,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%.

  1. After a detailed analysis on the risks and returns of the stock market and Stock XYZ (current price=€50), you conclude that the price of XYZ is unlikely to change a lot during the course of the next 3 months. You decide to bet on this analysis and establish a short straddle position, by simultaneously writing 100 puts and 100 calls with maturity of 3 months and a strike price of €50. The premium you receive for writing each put/call is €2.50.

    •  What is the maximum profit of your position? What should the stock price be, in order to realize this maximum gain?

    •  Report the lower and higher bounds for XYZ’s price 3 months from now that provide you with a non-negative return on your position.

    •  Draw a profit diagram separately for your a) short position on puts, b) short position on calls, and c) total position

You have just landed your dream summer internship, and your boss asks you to analyze a project that has an investment cost of 3,500,000, to be paid today (t = 0), and will generate a cash-flow of 350,000 in the first year (t = 1). The cash-flow will then grow at 12% per year for the next eight years (the last time the cash-flow grows at 12% is from t = 8 to t = 9). Afterwards, as competition increases, cash-flow growth is expected to be only 4% per year in perpetuity. (The cash-flow grows at 4% from t = 9 to t = 10 and forever thereafter.) The discount rate is 18%.

a. (3 points) Start by drawing the timeline, showing the cash flows at t = 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11 (the amount and how you calculated it).

b. (10 points) What is the NPV of this project? Please show how to do by hand and excel ( i have got totally different numbers so please show both)

c. (3 points) Do you recommend accepting or rejecting the project? Why? (Three sentences at most.)

d. (4 points) Write down the equation for the IRR of this project. (You don’t have to solve for the IRR, just write the equation whose solution is the IRR.) Please show how to do by hand

Tesla is considering expanding their production facilities to meet the growing demand for Tesla cars. You are given the following information:

The expansion would be a 5-year project. The expansion would take place on a plot of land that Elon Musk (the founder of Tesla) already owns. If the expansion doesn’t take place, the land could be sold today for $7,000,000.

Tesla commissioned a study on the feasibility of expansion three months ago, and paid $2,500,000 to consultants for the report.

To build the factory on the land would require a $80,000,000 up front investment in plant and property and an additional $15,000,000 in installation costs for the machinery.

Running the factory and machines will result in $7,000,000 of fixed costs per year.

Net Working Capital would have to increase by $1240000 at the beginning of the project (this money could be released at the end of the 5-year project).

Tesla would depreciate the factory and machinery using a 5-year MACRS schedule.

The factory and machinery can be sold off at the end of the 5-year project for $21,000,000.

-----> Elon Musk’s land can be sold off at the end of the 5-year project for $3500000.

Assume that the corporate tax rate is 21%. The new retail price for Tesla’s cars in yar 1 will equal $35,000, the existing retail price for the cheapest model (google "Tesla retail price") This price will increase by 5% per year during each year of the project.

Due to the expansion, Tesla will sell 12,000 (incremental) cars in Year 1, 15,000 in Year 2, and 18,000 in each of Years 3-5 of the project.

You are serving on a jury. A plaintiff is suing the city for injuries sustained after a freak street sweeper accident. In the trial, doctors testified that it will be five years before the plaintiff is able to return to work. The jury has already decided in favor of the plaintiff. You are the foreperson of the jury and propose that the jury give the plaintiff an award to cover the following: (1) The present value of two years’ back pay. The plaintiff’s annual salary for the last two years would have been $38,000 and $41,000, respectively. (2) The present value of five years’ future salary. You assume the salary will be $45,000 per year. (3) $100,000 for pain and suffering. (4) $17,000 for court costs.
