Problem 12-28 Project Evaluation [LO 3] Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $7.2 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. If the land were sold today, the net proceeds would be $7.67 million after taxes. In five years, the land will be worth $7.97 million after taxes. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $13.28 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities are current: Debt: 91,400 7 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 24 years to maturity, selling for 94.3 percent of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments. Common stock: 1,620,000 shares outstanding, selling for $94.70 per share; the beta is 1.27. Preferred stock: 76,000 shares of 6.3 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $92.70 per share. Market: 6.9 percent expected market risk premium; 5.2 percent risk-free rate. DEI’s tax rate is 22 percent. The project requires $860,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational.

a. Calculate the project’s Time 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects. Assume that any NWC raised does not require floatation costs. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)

b. The new RDS project is somewhat riskier than a typical project for DEI, primarily because the plant is being located overseas. Management has told you to use an adjustment factor of +1 percent to account for this increased riskiness. Calculate the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating DEI’s project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

c. The manufacturing plant has an eight-year tax life, and DEI uses straight-line depreciation. At the end of the project (i.e., the end of Year 5), the plant can be scrapped for $1.57 million. What is the aftertax salvage value of this manufacturing plant? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)

d. The company will incur $2,370,000 in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture 13,700 RDSs per year and sell them at $11,100 per machine; the variable production costs are $10,300 per RDS. What is the annual operating cash flow, OCF, from this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)

e. Calculate the project's net present value. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89)

f. Calculate the project's internal rate of return. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Estimate the true population mean size of a university dance company with 98% confidence. Assume the variable is normally distributed.

Using techniques from an earlier section, we can find a confidence interval for μ_d. Consider a random sample of n matched data pairs A, B. Let d = B − A be a random variable representing the difference between the values in a matched data pair. Compute the sample mean

d

of the differences and the sample standard deviation s_d. If d has a normal distribution or is mound-shaped, or if n ≥ 30, then a confidence interval for μ_d is as follows.

d − E < μ_d < d + E

where E = t_c

c = confidence level (0 < c < 1)

t_c = critical value for confidence level c and d.f. = n − 1

(a) Using the data above, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between percentage increase in company revenue and percentage increase in CEO salary. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(b) Use the confidence interval method of hypothesis testing to test the hypothesis that population mean percentage increase in company revenue is different from that of CEO salary. Use a 5% level of significance.

Since μ_d = 0 from the null hypothesis is in the 95% confidence interval, reject H₀ at the 5% level of significance. The data do not indicate a difference in population mean percentage increases between company revenue and CEO salaries.Since μ_d = 0 from the null hypothesis is not in the 95% confidence interval, do not reject H₀ at the 5% level of significance. The data indicate a difference in population mean percentage increases between company revenue and CEO salaries.    Since μ_d = 0 from the null hypothesis is in the 95% confidence interval, do not reject H₀ at the 5% level of significance.

On January 1, 2015, Pruitt Company issued 25,500 shares of its common stock in exchange for 85% of the outstanding common stock of Shah Company. Pruitt’s common stock had a fair value of $28 per share at that time (par value of $2 per share). Pruitt Company uses the cost method to account for its investment in Shah Company and files a consolidated income tax return. A schedule of the Shah Company assets acquired and liabilities assumed at book values (which are equal to their tax bases) and fair values follows.

Additional Information:

Part A) Prepare the stock acquisition entry on Pruitt Company’s books. (If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

Part B) Prepare the elimination entries for a consolidatd statements workpaper on January 1, 2005, immediately after acquisition.

Assume that you recently graduated and you just landed a job as a financial planner with the Cleveland Clinic. Your first assignment is to invest $100,000. Because the funds are to be invested at the end of one year, you have been instructed to plan for a one-year holding period. Further, your boss has restricted you to the following investment alternatives, shown with their probabilities and associated outcomes.          

Barney Smith Investment Advisors recently issued estimates for the state of the economy and the rate of return on each state of the economy. Alta Industries, Inc. is an electronics firm; Repo Men Inc. collects past due debts; and American Foam manufactures mattresses and various other foam products. Barney Smith also maintains an "index fund" which owns a market-weighted fraction of all publicly traded stocks; you can invest in that fund and thus obtain average stock market results. Given the situation as described, answer the following questions.

Suppose you create a two-stock portfolio by investing $50,000 in Alta Industries and $50,000 in Repo Men. Calculate the expected return, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and beta for this portfolio. How does the risk of this two-stock portfolio compare with the risk of the individual stocks if they were held in isolation? **Please show all calculations and formulas used to derive the answers**

Mary, the plant manager of Southern Oregon Injection Molding, Inc. (SOIM), is pondering an interesting offer made by the president and majority shareholder, Kenny. Kenny recently turned sixty and is planning a gradual retirement. None of his children are interested in taking over the business and are currently pursuing careers unrelated to the plastics industry, so Kenny has decided to offer his controlling share to Mary.

SOIM began by manufacturing plastic lawn ornaments, including a colorful tropical bird that became a major fad in the 1980s. Pleased and amused by the success of his fanciful product, Kenny added rabbits, skunks, trolls, angels, and garden fairies to the product line. Under Mary’s leadership, SOIM has also become an important secondary supplier of plastic housings for speakers, cell phones, calculators, and similar products.

Marry started working at SOIM as a color technician shortly after graduating from Southern Oregon University with a degree in chemical engineering. Within five years, she became the plant manager, a position she has held for the last eight years. Along the way, she has earned an MBA through the evening program at Southern Oregon University.

Because SOIM stock is publicly traded, we can confidently assign a value of $10,000,000 to Kenny’s shares. Kenny has stated that he is open to any reasonable plan to finance the purchase.

Questions

1. Mary could probably borrow the money to purchase the shares outright because the shares would serve as collateral and dividends would cover a good part of the loan payments. The interest rate is 7%, and the lender will amortize the loan with a series of equal payments. What are the annual payments if the bank amortizes the loan over five, ten, or twenty years?

2. Repeat Question 1, but assume that Mary makes payments at the beginning of each year.
