You are looking into a factory to make strained peas. You estimate that the equipment will cost $50,000, which you would depreciate over the 10-year life of the project to a book value of zero. The salvage value of the equipment is zero. You think you can sell 15,000 cans at $2/can. The cost of producing the cans is $0.80 each. Your tax rate will be 40%. You plan to maintain an inventory equal to 25% of revenues and you can salvage 80% of this working capital at the end of the project’s life. You plan to use your garage, which means you will have to pay $2,000/year to park your car elsewhere (the good news is that the $2,000/year is tax deductible). To estimate the cost of capital for the project you look at the following comparable firms:
Company D/E Tax rate Beta on stock
Gerber 1.00 0.50 1.5

Brio 0.50 0.40 1.3
You plan to finance this project entirely with equity. The current T-Bond rate is 11.5% and the MRP is 5.5%. You also assume all debt betas are equal to zero in your analysis.

a) What is the appropriate discount rate for the project?

b) What are the after-tax cash flows?

c) What is the NPV?

Jensen Company owns a building in a suburban industrial park. It purchased the building four years ago for $3 million. It is now deciding whether to lease the building or to use it as a distribution center. It could be leased immediately. Given today’s market conditions, lease income of $120,000 per year would be expected. To convert the building to make it useful as a distribution center would require an immediate expenditure of $400,000. Having the distribution center at this location would provide Jensen with $140,000 per year in cost savings, at today’s prices. The cash flows associated with this decision are not very risky, so a real discount rate of just 3% per year is required. Inflation of 2% per year is expected in the future. For simplicity, assume that: (i) there are no taxes, (ii) the building could be leased or used as a distribution center forever, (iii) ongoing cash flows, including rents and distribution cost savings, would increase with the overall inflation rate, and (iv) all cash flows except the initial $400,000 would occur at year end. (the last assumption implies that one year of inflation would affect the first lease payment and distribution cost saving) (a) Provide a NPV analysis and a recommendation of how the building should be used.(b) Is the outcome of your NPV analysis sensitive to changes in the assumed inflation rate?

​Sam's Cat Hotel operates 52 weeks per​ year, 6 days per​ week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for ​$11.00 per bag. The following information is available about these​ bags:

Demand=80 ​bags/week

Order cost=$55.00​/order

Annual holding cost=40 percent of cost

Desired ​cycle-service level=80 percent

Lead time=5 weeks ​(30 working​ days)

Standard deviation of weekly demand=15 bags

Current ​on-hand inventory is 320 ​bags, with no open orders or backorders.

a. Suppose that the weekly demand forecast of 80 bags is incorrect and actual demand averages only 55 bags per week. How much higher will total costs​ be, owing to the distorted EOQ caused by this forecast​ error?

The costs will be ​$___ higher owing to the error in EOQ. ​(Enter your response rounded to two decimal​ places.)

b. Suppose that actual demand is 50 bags but that ordering costs are cut to only $13.00 by using the internet to automate order placing. However, the buyer does not tell anyone, and the EOQ is not adjusted to reflect this reduction in S. How much higher will total costs be, compared to what they could if the EOQ were adjusted?

The costs will be $____ higher owing to the error EOQ.

Resorts & Spas, a magazine devoted to upscale vacations and accommodations, published its Reader's Choice List of the top 20 independent beachfront boutique hotels in the world.

CASE STUDY

Miss Yinnary is one of the many women who own their own businesses and her experience is not very different from others, who must contend with being a mother, a spouse and a family cheerleader in addition to owning and operating a business. She is the owner of the famous Y-Hotel. It was her first business, though she had some family background in this business. Her two sisters were also in the same line of business. But she borrowed some money, put in some of her savings and started her own venture. She was the first woman ever to enter into this business, most of her clients could not understand that a woman could be interested in the hospitality industry. To Step up her game in the hospitality Industry , Miss Yinari is seeking someone who understands innovative entrepreneurship to assist her.

During her rise to success and in management of her hotel business, she also needs to manage a family, stay teaching in university and dealing with community affairs. In her mind, there is nothing more exhilarating than owning her own business, and for her, the fun is in facing the challenges of turning the hotel into a first ever hotel that provide customers an unforgettable experience with innovation

In the present time, more women are making this choice, pursuing entrepreneurship rather than staying as housewives or traditional careers. For the past few years, the number of women starting new ventures is three times as large as the number of men. There are several good reasons for this trend. Some women find that owning a business is the only way to combine a decent income with time for their children by having the flexibility to control their schedules. Others see themselves as unlikely corporate managers and recognizing the gender problem that exists for achieving success, they choose the entrepreneurial route. Still others see entrepreneurship as a way of controlling their lives, pursuing interests that would be impossible in a corporate job.

The dual roles of mother and entrepreneur often conflict, and husbands and wives

tend to develop separate career tracks that often cannot be reconciled. Women can

also find it lonely in a business world, especially if clients are predominantly men,

this was a problem for Yinari too.

Many women, however, have businesses that fit well with their interest and with

women customers. These include services in beauty care, nutrition, education,

entertainment etc. Nevertheless, being in business often exacts a double price for

women, yet for those with determination like Yinari, the rewards are always waiting.
