10a- Your firm is evaluating a capital budgeting project. The estimated cash flows appear below. The board of directors wants to know the expected impact on shareholder wealth. Knowing that the estimated impact on shareholder wealth equates to net present value (NPV), you use your handy calculator to compute the value. What is the project's NPV? Assume that the cash flows occur at the end of each year. The discount rate (i.e., required rate of return, hurdle rate) is 14.4%. (Round to nearest penny)

Year 0 cash flow -133,000
Year 1 cash flow 53,000
Year 2 cash flow 40,000
Year 3 cash flow 45,000
Year 4 cash flow 42,000
Year 5 cash flow 30,000

Answer:

10b- What is the discount rate at which the following cash flows have a NPV of $0? Answer in %, rounding to 2 decimals.

Year 0 cash flow = -132,000
Year 1 cash flow = 33,000
Year 2 cash flow = 37,000
Year 3 cash flow = 33,000
Year 4 cash flow = 39,000
Year 5 cash flow = 42,000
Year 6 cash flow = 31,000

Answer:

10c- US Robotics is evaluating a new product line. The CFO asks for an estimate of number of years to recover the initial investment, ignoring the time value of money. You realize that this is the payback period. The estimated cash flows from the new product line appear below. (Answer in years, round to 2 places)

Year 0 cash flow = -83,000
Year 1 cash flow = -41,000
Year 2 cash flow = 31,000
Year 3 cash flow = 33,000
Year 4 cash flow = 44,000
Year 5 cash flow = 37,000
Year 6 cash flow = 38,000
Year 7 cash flow = 34,000

Based on the following scenario, which project do you support if you make a decision based on the IRR alone?  

Project A requires an initial investment (or you may say, ‘cash outflow’) of $525,000 and is expected to generate the following net cash inflows:

Year 1: $120,000

Year 2: $110,000

Year 3: $120,000

Year 4: $110,000

Year 5: $120,000

Year 6 : $130,000

The expected rate of return is 5%.

Project B also requires an initial investment (or you may say, ‘cash outflow’) of $525,000 and is expected to generate the following net cash inflows:

Year 1: $300,000

Year 2: $200,000

Year 3: $90,000

Year 4: $0

Year 5: $0

Year 6 : $0

The expected rate of return is 5%.

The registrar of a law school has compiled the following statistics on the progress of the school's students working toward the LLB degree: Of the first-year students in a particular year, 80% successfully complete their course of studies and move on to the second year, whereas 20% drop out of the program; of the second-year students in a particular year, 92% go on to the third year, whereas 8% drop out of the program; of the third-year students in a particular year, 98% go on to graduate at the end of the year, whereas 2% drop out of the program.

(a) Construct the transition matrix associated with the Markov process. (Label your matrix using this order: Drop out, Graduate, First-Year, Second-Year, Third-Year)

(b) Find the steady-state matrix. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(c) Determine the probability that a beginning law student enrolled in the program will go on to graduate. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

On January 1 of year 1, Arthur and Aretha Franklin purchased a home for $2.83 million by paying 330,000 down and borrowing the remaining $2.50 million with a 8.8 percent loan secured by the home. The Franklins paid interest only on the loan for year 1 and year 2 (unless stated otherwise).

a. What is the amount of interest expense the Franklins may deduct in year 2 assuming year 1 is 2017?

b. What is the amount of interest expense the Franklins may deduct in year 2 assuming year 1 is 2018?

c. Assume that year 1 is 2018 and that in year 2, the Franklins pay off the entire loan but at the beginning of year 3, they borrow $420,000 secured by the home at a 9 percent rate. They make interest-only payments on the loan during the year. What amount of interest expense may the Franklins deduct in year 3 on this loan? (Assume the Franklins do not use the loan proceeds to improve the home.)
