Case Study:
Trump De Tomato Ltd (TDT) is a company in aquacultural industry specialised in farming of aquatic
organisms. TDT is considering opening a new farm in Sandy Bay. This project would involve the purchase
of 13 hectares land at a price of $1,000,000 (Note that: The land is not subject to depreciation for accounting
and tax purposes). In addition to that, the company will need to purchase eight special equiments which cost
$125,000 each. The equipments are expected to be in use for 5 years and after that, they will be scrapped
without any residual value. Each year, each of these equipments will incur $5,000 maintenance cost. It is
assumed that the farm will first be used at the beginning of the next financial year: 1 July 2022.
Before starting this new operation, TDT will need to redevelop and renovate the warehouse at the farm. This
is expected to cost $200,000. Assume that TDT is not able to claim any annual tax deduction for the capital
expenditure to the renovation of the building until the business is sold.
Revenue projections from the farm for the next five years are as follows:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Beginning 1/7/2022 1/7/2023 1/7/2024 1/7/2025 1/7/2026
Ending 30/6/2023 30/6/2024 30/6/2025 30/6/2026 30/6/2027
Production quantity (tons) 120 140 170 185 185
Price (per tons) $9,000 $9,150 $9,250 $9,300 $9,350
Operating variable costs associated with the new business including material costs and labour costs.
Estimated material costs per ton in year 1 is $2,000 and this cost will increase by 3.5% every year. The farm
will require about 6 workers working for 8 hours a day, 200 days per year. The pay rate is flat at $20/ hour
including superannuation. Annual operating fixed costs associated with production (excluding depreciation)
are $100,000. Existing administrative costs are $550,000 per annum. As a result of the new operation, these
administrative costs will increase by 30%. The company is subject to a tax rate of 30% on its profits.
Meanwhile, TDT Ltd is currently financed by 60% of equity and 40% of debt. Company’s bond is traded at
a price of $980. The bond has 10 year term, 8% coupon rate paid semi-annually and face value of $1,000. In
addition, company’s equity has a beta of 1.2 while the risk-free rate in the market is 3% and market portfolio
return is estimated to be 12%.
P. De Potato, the company CFO would like you to help him examine the viability of the project for the next
five years, taking into account the projections of sales and operations costs prepared by company’s
accountants.

quesstion 1: Using sensitivity analysis, recalculate NPV using the scenario of a. A decrease in project sales by 10% annually. b. An increase of the sale price by 5% annually c. An increase of material costs change from 3.5% to 8% Briefly comment on your results.

3. the production function is f(L, M)=4*(L^1/2) (M^1/2), where L is the number of units of labor and M is the number of machines used. If the cost of labor is $49 per unit and the cost of machines is $25 per unit, then how much will be the total cost of producing 7 units of output ?

Johnstone Company is facing several decisions regarding investing and financing activities. Address each decision independently. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) 1. On June 30, 2021, the Johnstone Company purchased equipment from Genovese Corp. Johnstone agreed to pay Genovese $11,000 on the purchase date and the balance in five annual installments of $9,000 on each June 30 beginning June 30, 2022. Assuming that an interest rate of 11% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation, at what amount should Johnstone value the equipment? 2. Johnstone needs to accumulate sufficient funds to pay a $410,000 debt that comes due on December 31, 2026. The company will accumulate the funds by making five equal annual deposits to an account paying 7% interest compounded annually. Determine the required annual deposit if the first deposit is made on December 31, 2021. 3. On January 1, 2021, Johnstone leased an office building. Terms of the lease require Johnstone to make 15 annual lease payments of $121,000 beginning on January 1, 2021. An 11% interest rate is implicit in the lease agreement. At what amount should Johnstone record the lease liability that is supposed to be on January 1, 2021, before any lease payments are made? Please help me solve this problem.

Q3 Foreign currency translation A: 20 marks

On January 1, 2020, in an effort to diversify, Bauman Corp. (a Canadian company that sells decorative cedar branches), purchased 80% of Noskova Inc, an American company that manufacturers nitrous oxide, for US$50,000.

Noskova’s book values approximated its fair values on that date except for plant and equipment, which had a fair value of US$30,000 with a remaining life expectancy of 5 years.   A goodwill impairment loss of US$1,000 occurred during 2020. Noskova’s January 1, 2020, Balance Sheet is shown below (in U.S. dollars):

The following exchange rates were in effect during 2020:

Sales, purchases and other expenses occurred evenly throughout the year.
Dividends declared and paid December 31, 2020.
The financial statements of Bauman (in Canadian dollars) and Noskova (in U.S. dollars) are shown below:
