1. Ocular Solutions recently (at the beginning of year 1) forecasted first year sales of $9.4 million, operating costs other than depreciation of $5.6 million, and depreciation of $0.6 million. The company has no amortization charges, it has $4.2 million of outstanding bonds that carry a 6.5% interest rate, and its income tax rate is 28%. In order to sustain its operations and thus generate sales and cash flows in the future, the firm is required to make $1.3 million of capital expenditures on new fixed assets and to invest $0.3 million in net working capital.

a) Calculate the FCF of the firm in the first year. [5 Marks]

b) Assuming that the firm’s FCF will grow at a rate of 3% forever after Year 1, and also that its WACC is 20.0%, estimate the market value of the firm and its debt ratio (Debt/Firm Value) at the beginning of year 1. [5 Marks]

c) If the company keeps the debt level unchanged in the future, estimate its debt ratio at the beginning of year 2, and beginning of year 3. [5 Marks] d) Discuss the potential problem when using the WACC method to answer parts b) and c) above.

2. American Hardware (AH), a national hardware chain, is considering purchasing a smaller chain, Eastern Hardware (EH). American Hardware's analysts project that the merger will result in incremental free cash flows and interest tax savings. In the first two years, the incremental FCF is $3 million each year and the value increases to $3.5 million each year after the period. The tax savings are $0.5 million annually starting from the first year. They have determined that the appropriate discount rate for valuing EH (for both FCF and interest tax savings) is 17 percent. EH has 7 million shares outstanding and AH has 56 million shares outstanding. EH's current share price is $14.25 and AH’s current share price is $28.25. a). What is the maximum price per share that AH should offer (under the condition that all of the proposed synergy value is distributed to the EH shareholders)? [6 marks] b). If the proposed synergy value is equally distributed between AH shareholders and EH shareholders (50% to all AH shareholders and 50% to all EH shareholders), what is the price per share that AH should offer? [7 marks] c). If AH has successfully purchased all of EH shares at the price of $18, what should AH share price be after the purchasing (assuming investors know the information precisely as described above)?

The average undergraduate cost for tuition, fees, and room and board for two-year institutions last year was $13,252. The following year, a random sample of 20 two-year institutions had a mean of $15,560 and a standard deviation of $3500. Is there sufficient evidence at the ?= 0.05 level to conclude that the mean cost has increased. Solve the question by traditional approach.

Question no 2: A large university reports that the mean salary of parents of an entering class is $91,600. To see how this compares to his university, president surveys 28 randomly selected families and finds that their average income is $88,500. If the standard deviation is $10,000, can the president conclude that there is a difference? At ?= 0.10, is he correct? Test the hypothesis by P-value approach.


Question no 3: The manager of a large company claims that the standard deviation of the time (in minutes) that it takes a telephone call to be transferred to the correct office in her company is 1.2 minutes or less. A sample of 15 calls is selected, and the calls are timed. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.8 minutes. At ?= 0.01, test the claim that the standard deviation is less than 1.2 minutes. Use the P-value method
