XYZ Corporation has a deferred compensation plan under which it allows certain employees to defer up to 20 percent of their salary for five years. For purposes of this problem, ignore payroll taxes in your computations. (Use Table 1.) (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Problem 13-61 Part a

a. Assume XYZ has a marginal tax rate of 21 percent for the foreseeable future and earns an after-tax rate of return of 13 percent on its assets. Joel Johnson, XYZ’s VP of finance, is attempting to determine what amount of deferred compensation XYZ should be willing to pay in five years that would make XYZ indifferent between paying the current salary of $10,400 and paying the deferred compensation. What amount of deferred compensation would accomplish this objective?

4. During 3 months of the year, current assets drop to $400,000. Its operating profit (EBIT) is expected to be $620,000. Its tax rate is 40 percent. Shares are valued at $10. Its capital structure is short-term financing at 3 percent and long-term financing of 50 percent equity, 50 percent debt at 6 percent. (Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.)

a. Calculate expected EPS if the firm is perfectly hedged. EPS $

b. Calculate expected EPS if Phu is a more aggressive with its capital structure and finances all current assets and 20 percent of its capital assets with short-term loans. EPS $

c. Recalculate a and b if short-term rates go to 8 percent while long-term rates remain the same. EPS Perfectly Hedged $ Capital structure $

Chris Guthrie was recently hired by S&S Air, Inc., to asset the company with its financial planning and to evaluate the company's performance. Chris graduated from college five years ago with a finance degree. He has been employed in the finance department of a Fortune 500 company since then.

S&S Air was founded 10 years ago by friends Mark Sexton and Todd Story. The company has manufactured and sold light airplanes over this period, and the company's products have received high reviews for safety and reliability. The company has a niche market in that is sells primarily to individuals who own and fly their own airplanes. The company has two models: the Birdie, which sells for $103,000, and the Eagle, which sells for $178,000.

Although the company manufactures aircraft, its operations are different from commercial aircraft companies. S&S Air builds aircraft to order. By using prefabricated parts, the company can complete the manufacture of an airplane in only five weeks. The company also receives a deposit on each order, as well as another partial payment before the order is complete. In contast, a commercial airplane may take one and one-half to two years to manufacture once the order is placed.

Mark and Todd have provided financial statements (which are to the left and below). In addition, Chris has gathered the industry ratios for the light airplance manufacturing industry (below).

Questions:

1. Using the financial statements provided above, calculate each of the ratios listed in the industry table for S&S Air (all 14 of them).

2. Mark and Todd agree a ratio analysis can provide a measure of the company's performance. They have chosen Boeing as an aspirant (comparison) company. Would you choose Boeing as an aspirant company? Why or why not? There are other aircraft manufacturers S&S Air could use as aspirant companies. Discuss whether it is appropriate to use any of the following companies: Bombadier, Embraer, Cirrus Aircraft Corporation, and Cessna Aircraft Company.

3. Compare the performance of S&S Air to the industry, using the 14 ratios you calculated in part 1 and the industry table provided. For each ratio, comment on whether it would be viewed as positive or negative (favorable or unfavorable) to the industry and why.

Discuss the differences between cash and accrual accounting. What is one significant advantage of accrual accounting over cash accounting?
