The first financial instrument was a loan. On January 1, the company borrowed 5million on a key shareholder at rate of 3%, at that time when the market rate of interest was 5%. In order to convince the shareholder to lend the money to the company at a rate lower the the market rate of interest, the company agreed that, in 5 years the shareholder would have the option of either accepting full repayment of the debt, or receiving 500,000 shares in the company. The second financial instrument was a compensatory stock option plan that was granted to 10 key management positions for the first time. The company wanted to provide these employees with additional compensation and due to financial constraints could not increase salaries. The plan allowed these management employees to purchase 5,000 options each to purchase shares at $50 each when they were actually worth $100. The options were granted on January 1, 2017 and were exercisable within a two year period. Total compensation was estimated to be $550,000. And the expected period of benefit was one year beginning on the grant date. No other management employees exercised their options during the year but you exercised all of your options on December 31st 2017. The final transaction.

Albuquerque, Inc., acquired 36,000 shares of Marmon Company several years ago for $900,000. At the acquisition date, Marmon reported a book value of $980,000, and Albuquerque assessed the fair value of the noncontrolling interest at $100,000.

The Sunbelt Corporation has $44 million of bonds outstanding that were issued at a coupon rate...

The Sunbelt Corporation has $44 million of bonds outstanding that were issued at a coupon rate of 12.175 percent seven years ago. Interest rates have fallen to 11.50 percent. Mr. Heath, the Vice-President of Finance, does not expect rates to fall any further. The bonds have 18 years left to maturity, and Mr. Heath would like to refund the bonds with a new issue of equal amount also having 18 years to maturity. The Sunbelt Corporation has a tax rate of 36 percent. The underwriting cost on the old issue was 3.3 percent of the total bond value. The underwriting cost on the new issue will be 1.5 percent of the total bond value. The original bond indenture contained a five-year protection against a call, with a call premium of 8 percent starting in the sixth year and scheduled to decline by one-half percent each year thereafter (consider the bond to be seven years old for purposes of computing the premium). Use Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Assume the discount rate is equal to the aftertax cost of new debt rounded up to the nearest whole percent (e.g. 4.06 percent should be rounded up to 5 percent).

Washington County’s Board of Representatives is considering the construction of a longer runway at the county...

Washington County’s Board of Representatives is considering the construction of a longer runway at the county airport. Currently, the airport can handle only private aircraft and small commuter jets. A new, long runway would enable the airport to handle the midsize jets used on many domestic flights. Data pertinent to the board’s decision appear below.

Cost of acquiring additional land for runway $ 78,000
Cost of runway construction 265,000
Cost of extending perimeter fence 50,270
Cost of runway lights 42,000
Annual cost of maintaining new runway 21,000
Annual incremental revenue from landing fees 50,000

In addition to the preceding data, two other facts are relevant to the decision. First, a longer runway will require a new snowplow, which will cost $165,000. The old snowplow could be sold now for $16,500. The new, larger plow will cost $14,000 more in annual operating costs. Second, the County Board of Representatives believes that the proposed long runway, and the major jet service it will bring to the county, will increase economic activity in the community. The board projects that the increased economic activity will result in $72,000 per year in additional tax revenue for the county.

In analyzing the runway proposal, the board has decided to use a 10-year time horizon. The county’s hurdle rate for capital projects is 11 percent.

Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Required:

  1. 1. Prepare a net-present-value analysis of the proposed long runway.
