(a) Green Group reviews an invest opportunity in Australia. This is a two-year project and is expected to generate A$ 1,000,000 in the first year and A$ 2,000,000 in the second year. The group would have to invest US$ 1,500,000 in the project. The project’s cost of capital is 14% which is the same as the similar projects for Green Group. What is the net present value (NPV) of this project if the spot rate of the Australian dollar for the two years is forecasted to be $0.55 and $0.60, respectively?

(b) Green Group needs funding to finance the project in Australia. Comparing with other long-term financing means, the foreign currency bonds usually have lower yields. To determine the financing cost of the bond, suggest and describe any appropriate procedures

On July 24 of the current year, Sam Smith was involved in an accident with his business use automobile. Sam had purchased the car for $30,000. The automobile had a fair market value of $20,000 before the accident and $8,000 immediately after the accident. Sam has taken $20,000 of depreciation on the car. The car is insured for the fair market value of any loss. Because of Sam's history, he is afraid that if he submits a claim, his policy will be canceled. Therefore, he is considering not filing a claim. Sam believes that the tax loss deduction will help mitigate the loss of the insurance reimbursement. Sam's current marginal tax rate is 35%. Write a letter to Sam that contains your advice with respect to the tax and cashflow consequences of filing versus not filing a claim for the insurance reimbursement for the damage to his car. Also prepare a memo for the tax files. Sam's address is 450 Colonel's Way, Warrensburg, MO 64093.

Net income for the company for the year was $300,000, and 100,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the year. The income tax rate is 30%. For each of the following potentially dilutive securities, perform the shortcut antidilution test to determine whether the security is dilutive. Assume that each of the securities was issued on or before January 1. Treat each security independently; in other words, when testing one security, assume that the others do not exist.      (10)
1. 10,000 convertible preferred shares (cumulative, 5%, $100 par). Each preferred share is convertible into three shares of common stock.
2. 500 convertible bonds ($1,000 face value, 10%). Each bond is convertible into 25 shares of common stock.
3. 20,000 convertible preferred shares (cumulative, 10%, $50 par). Each preferred share is convertible into two shares of common stock.
4. 2,000 convertible bonds ($1,000 face value, 8%). Each bond is convertible into 15 shares of common stock.
(b) Is It Possible For A Company To Have Positive Cash Flow But Still Be In Serious Financial Trouble?

Conceptually, some argue that under‐ or overapplied overhead at the end of the year should be allocated among ending work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold. If the over or underapplied overhead is material, explain why this allocation approach would be preferable.

I have this question and I really don't understand it.. can anyone explain to me?

Suppose that the GDP of the country of Zambia is growing at 1% each year. Also suppose that Zambia has a constant velocity of money and it decides to print money at a much faster rate increasing its money supply by 20%. Using the quantity theory of money, what happens to the price level in Zambia as a result of the printing of money? In other words, will they have inflation? If so, how much? Explain.

The Haverly Company expects to finish the current year with the following financial results, and is developing its annual plan for next year.

The following facts are available.

• Payables are almost entirely due to inventory purchases and can be estimated through COGS, which is approximately 40% purchased material.
• Currently owned assets will depreciate an additional $1100000 next year.
• There are two balance sheet accruals. The first is for unpaid wages. The current payroll of $31 million is expected to grow by 11% next year. The closing date of the year will be six working days after a payday. The second accrual is an estimate of the cost of purchased items that have arrived in inventory, but for which vendor invoices have not yet been received. This materials accrual is generally about 9% of the payables balance at year end.
• The combined state and federal income tax rate is 42%.
• Interest on current and future borrowing will be at a rate of 14%.

PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS

Income Statement Items

1. Revenue will grow by 13% with no change in product mix. Competitive pressure, however, is expected to force some reductions in pricing.
2. The pressure on prices will result in a 2% deterioration (increase) in the next year's cost ratio.
3. Spending in the marketing department is considered excessive and will be held to 10% of revenue next year.
4. Because of a major development project, expenses in the engineering department will increase by 15%.
5. Finance and administration expenses will increase by 8%.

Assets and Liabilities

6. An enhanced cash management system will reduce cash balances by 5%.
7. The ACP will be reduced by 15 days. (Calculate the current value to arrive at the target.)
8. The inventory turnover ratio (COGS/inventory) will decrease by 0.5x.
9. Capital spending is expected to be $7 million. The average depreciation life of the assets to be acquired is five years. The firm uses straight-line depreciation, and takes a half year in the first year.
10. Bills are currently paid in 50 days. Plans are to shorten that to 30 days.
11. A dividend totaling $2 million will be paid next year. No new stock will be sold.

Develop next year's financial plan for Haverly on the basis of these assumptions and last year's financial statements. Include a projected income statement, balance sheet and a statement of cash flows. Enter your dollar answers in thousands. For example, an answer of $200 thousands should be entered as 200, not 200000. Round dollar answers and intermediate calculations to the nearest thousand. Round the percentage values to 1 decimal place. Enter all amounts in Income Statement as a positive numbers. Use a minus sign, to indicate a negative cash outflow, or a decrease in cash in Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement.

More time on the Internet: A researcher polled a sample of 1052 adults in the year 2010, asking them how many hours per week they spent on the Internet. The sample mean was 10.19 with a standard deviation of 13.8 A second sample of 2022 adults was taken in the year 2012. For this sample, the mean was 10.87 with a standard deviation of 14.92. Assume these are simple random samples from populations of adults. Can you conclude that the mean number of hours per week spent on the Internet increased between 2010 and 2012? Use the α = 0.01 level of significance.

1. State the null and alternative hypothesis

2. Compute the p-value and Testing Value

3. Do you reject the null hypothesis? Explain?
