Wally’s Widget Company (WWC) incorporated near the end of 2011. Operations began in January of 2012. WWC prepares adjusting entries and financial statements at the end of each month. Balances in the accounts at the end of January are as follows:

 
  Cash $ 20,270   Unearned Revenue (30 units) $ 4,900     
  Accounts Receivable $ 11,300   Accounts Payable (Jan Rent) $ 2,400     
  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ (1,450)   Notes Payable $ 15,500     
  Inventory (35 units) $ 3,150   Contributed Capital $ 6,100     
        Retained Earnings – Feb 1, 2012 $ 4,370     
 
WWC establishes a policy that it will sell inventory at $160 per unit.
In January, WWC received a $4,900 advance for 30 units, as reflected in Unearned Revenue.
WWC’s February 1 inventory balance consisted of 35 units at a total cost of $3,150.
WWC’s note payable accrues interest at a 12% annual rate.
WWC will use the FIFO inventory method and record COGS on a perpetual basis.
February Transactions
02/01

Included in WWC’s February 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $1,700 account due from Kit Kat, a WWC customer. Kit Kat is having cash flow problems and cannot pay its balance at this time. WWC arranges with Kit Kat to convert the $1,700 balance to a note, and Kit Kat signs a 6-month note, at 9% annual interest. The principal and all interest will be due and payable to WWC on August 1, 2012.

02/02

WWC paid a $600 insurance premium covering the month of February. The amount paid is recorded directly as an expense.

02/05

An additional 150 units of inventory are purchased on account by WWC for $11,250 – terms 2/15, n30.

02/05

WWC paid Federal Express $300 to have the 150 units of inventory delivered overnight. Delivery occurred on 02/06.

02/10

Sales of 120 units of inventory occurred during the period of 02/07 – 02/10. The sales terms are 2/10, net 30.

02/15

The 30 units that were paid for in advance and recorded in January are delivered to the customer.

02/15

15 units of the inventory that had been sold on 2/10 are returned to WWC. The units are not damaged and can be resold. Therefore, they are returned to inventory. Assume the units returned are from the 2/05 purchase.

02/16 WWC pays the first 2 weeks wages to the employees. The total paid is $1,900.
02/17

Paid in full the amount owed for the 2/05 purchase of inventory. WWC records purchase discounts in the current period rather than as a reduction of inventory costs.

02/18 Wrote off a customer’s account in the amount of $1,550.
02/19

$4,800 of rent for January and February was paid. Because all of the rent will soon expire, the February portion of the payment is charged directly to expense.

02/19

Collected $9,100 of customers’ Accounts Receivable. Of the $9,100, the discount was taken by customers on $6,000 of account balances; therefore WWC received less than $9,100.

02/26

WWC recovered $510 cash from the customer whose account had previously been written off (see 02/18).

02/27

A $500 utility bill for February arrived. It is due on March 15 and will be paid then.

02/28 WWC declared and paid a $550 cash dividend.
Adjusting Entries:
02/29

Record the $1,900 employee salary that is owed but will be paid March 1.

02/29

WWC decides to use the aging method to estimate uncollectible accounts. WWC determines 8% of the ending balance is the appropriate end of February estimate of uncollectible accounts.

02/29 Record February interest expense accrued on the note payable.
02/29

Record one month’s interest earned Kit Kat’s note (see 02/01).

Prepare all February journal entries and adjusting entries. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)

(Determining relevant cash flows) Landcruisers Plus (LP) has operated an online retail store selling off-road truck parts. As the name implies, the firm specializes in parts for the venerable Toyota FJ40 that is known throughout the world for its durability and offroad prowess. The fact that Toyota stopped building and exporting the FJ40 to the U.S. market in 1982 meant that FJ40 owners depended more and more on re-manufactured parts to keep their beloved off-road vehicles running. More and more FJ40 owners are replacing the original inline six-cylinder engines with a modern American-built engine. The engine replacement requires mating the new engine with the Toyota drive train.

LP's owners had been offering engine adaptor kits for some time but have recently decided to begin building their own units. To make the adaptor kits the firm would need to invest in a variety of machine tools costing a total of $800,000. LP's management estimates that they will be able to borrow $300,000 from the firm's bank and pay 8 percent interest. The remaining funds would have to be supplied by LP's owners.

The firm estimates that they will be able to sell 1,000 units a year for $1,400 each. The units would cost $1,000 each in cash expenses to produce (this does not include depreciation expense of $80,000 per year or interest expense of

$24 000 ). After all expenses, the firm expects earnings before interest and taxes of $320,000. The firm pays taxes equal to 31 percent, which results in net income of $196 comma 800 per year over the 10 -year expected life of the equipment.

a. What is the annual free cash flow LP should expect to receive from the investment in year 1 assuming that it does not require any other investments in either capital equipment or working capital and the equipment is depreciated over a 10 -year life to a zero salvage and book value? How should the financing cost associated with the $300 comma 000 loan be incorporated into the analysis of cash flow?

b. If the firm's required rate of return for its investments is 11 percent and the investment has a 10 -year expected life, what is the anticipated NPV of the investment?
