ABC

ABC, Channel 6, is located in Eugene, Oregon, home of the University of Oregon’s football team. The station was owned and operated by George Wilcox, a former Duck (University of Oregon football player). Although there were other television stations in Eugene, ABC was the only station that had a weatherperson who was a member of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). Every night, Joe Hummel would be introduced as the only weatherperson in Eugene who was a member of the AMS. This was George’s idea, and he believed that this gave his station the mark of quality and helped with market share.

In addition to being a member of AMS, Joe was also the most popular person on any of the local news programs. Joe was always trying to find innovative ways to make the weather interesting, and this was especially difficult during the winter months when the weather seemed to remain the same over long periods of time. Joe’s forecast for next month, for example, was that there would be a 60% chance of rain every day, and that what happens on one day (rain or shine) was not in any way dependent on what happened the day before.

One of Joe’s most popular features of the weather report was to invite questions during the actual broadcast. Questions would be phoned in, and they were answered on the spot by Joe. Once a 10-year-old boy asked what caused fog, and Joe did an excellent job of describing some of the various causes.

Occasionally, Joe would make a mistake. For example, a high school senior asked Joe what the chances were of getting 15 days of rain in the next month (30 days). Joe made a quick calculation:

(60%) x (15 days / 30 days) = (60%) (1/2) = 30%

Joe quickly found out what it was like being wrong in a university town. He had over 50 phone calls from scientists, mathematicians, and other university professors, telling him that he had made a big mistake in computing the chances of getting 15 days of rain during the next 30 days. Although Joe didn’t understand all of the formulas the professors mentioned, he was determined to find the correct answer and make a correction during a future broadcast.

Discussion Questions

1. What are the chances of getting 15 days of rain during the next 30 days?

2. What do you think about Joe’s assumptions concerning the weather for the next 30 days?

Case Study
Andrew is a 69 year old gentleman of Italian heritage, who has come into hospital for a
below knee amputation due to complications from his Type 2 Diabetes (18 years post
diagnosis). He is retired and lives with his wife of 40 years and his daughter, son in law
and their three young children in a three bedroom house in the outer suburbs of
Sydney. He has failing eyesight and has not had a job for the past 15 years due to his
health problems. He is currently taking medication to help manage his blood sugar
(Metformin), however his blood sugars continue to be very high. Andrew does not like
taking his medication as he finds it expensive and does not believe it helps him maintain
his blood sugars within a healthy range. He believes there is nothing he can do to
manage his blood sugar levels and that the amputation was a natural progression of the
disease state. He infrequently takes his blood sugars, and does not see the point in
attending frequent doctor appointments again due to the cost.
Andrew’s son in law is the only one who brings an income into his household, and this
must support Andrew, Andrew’s wife, his daughter and their children. With limited
resources, it is important that Andrew keeps his medical bills as low as possible. The
family does enjoy spending time together and enjoy celebrating and connecting over
meals. His son-in-law usually joins Andrew in an evening after the family meal to drink
wine and smoke cigars. Both men find this an important time to connect and relax after
a long day. Andrew socialises very infrequently with anyone else outside of his family,
as his failing health and eyesight prevents him from being able to drive anymore.

Your task is to determine the WACC for a given firm using what you know about WACC, as well as data you can find through research. Your deliverable is a brief report in which you state your determination of WACC, describe and justify how you determined the number, and provide relevant information as to the sources of your data. Select a publicly traded company that has debt or bonds and common stock to calculate the current WACC. One good source for financial data for companies, as well as data about their equity, is Yahoo! Finance. By looking around this site, you should be able to find the market capitalization (E) as well as the β for any publicly traded company. There are not many places left where data about corporate bonds is still available. One of them is the Finra Bonds website. To find data for a particular company’s publicly traded bonds use the Quick Search feature, then be sure to specify corporate bonds and type in the name of the issuing company. This should give you a list of all of the company’s outstanding bond issues. Clicking on the symbol for a given bond issue will lead you to the current amount outstanding and the yield to maturity. You are interested in both. The total of all bonds outstanding is D in the above formula. If you like, you can use the YTM on a bond issue that is not callable as the pre-tax cost of debt for the company.

Assumptions: As you recall, the formula for WACC is: rWACC = (E/E+D) rE + D/(E+D) rD (1-TC) The formula for the required return on a given equity investment is: ri= rf + βi * (RMkt-rf) RMkt-rf is the Market Risk Premium. For this project, you may assume the Market Risk Premium is 5% unless you can develop a better number. rf is the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is normally the yield on US Treasury securities such as a 10-year treasury. For this assignment, please use 3.5%. You may assume a corporate tax rate of 40%.

Submit the following: Write a 350- to 700-word report that contains the following elements: Your calculated WACC How data was used to calculate WACC (provide the formula and the formula with your values substituted) Sources for your data A discussion of how much confidence you have in your answer, including what the limiting assumptions you made were, if any Include a Microsoft® Excel® file showing your WACC calculations discussed above.

Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis – Jim’s Computers Jim Jasons is thinking about starting a company to produce high performance video gaming computers. He loves playing video games. He sees it as an opportunity to be his own boss, making a living doing what he likes best. Jim paid $1,000 for training, and he has already purchased new equipment costing $10,000 to assemble the computers. He estimates that it will cost $750 in materials (case, monitor, keyboard, graphics card, CPU, etc.) to make each computer. If he decides to make computers full time, he will need to rent office and manufacturing space at an estimated $1,200 per month for rent plus another $300 per month for various utility bills. Jim would perform all the manufacturing and run the office, and he would like to pay himself a salary of $5,000 per month. Jim plans to hire two salespeople at a base salary of $1,500 each per month plus a commission of $100 per computer. Jim plans to sell each computer for $1,500. He believes that he can sell 50 computers in December for Christmas, but he is not sure what the sales will be during the rest of the year. However, he is sure that the computers will be popular because so many of his friends play video games. Overall, he is confident that he can pay all his business costs, pay himself, the monthly salary of $5,000 and earn at least $2,000 more than that per month. (Ignore income taxes.)

The following questions will help you analyze the information for this problem. Use Excel for all calculations and Microsoft Word for the written portion. One team member will submit one file in Canvas. You will be graded on accuracy and organization.

A. Preform analyses to estimate the number of computers Jim would need to manufacture and sell each year for his business to be financially successful:

1. List all the costs described and indicate whether each cost is (a) a relevant fixed cost, (b) a relevant variable cost, or (c) NOT relevant to Jim’s decision.

2. Calculate the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin ratio.

3. Write down the total cost function for the computers and calculate the annual breakeven point in units and in revenues.

4. How many computers would Jim need to sell annually to earn $2,000 per month more than his salary?

There are at least 10 errors in the following C program. For each error you can find you should list the location of the error, describe what the error is, and state how the error can be fixed (write updated code for that line if necessary). Each error you find is worth 1.5 marks. Note that missing brackets, braces, etc count as only one error, even though the missing brackets may occur at two places.

The program is supposed to perform the following task: Read a list of names and heights from a file called “heights.txt”. Each line of the file contains a single name (one word, 50 chars max) and an integer value representing that person’s height in cm. These names and heights should be stored in two arrays, with a maximum size of 1000. Once this is done, the user should be asked to enter a minimum and maximum height (in cm), and the program should display all people whose heights fall between those values (inclusive). If a zero is entered for either criteria, then that criteria is not checked. For example, if the user enters 0 for the maximum height, then there is no maximum value and all people above the minimum height will be listed. If both values are zero then all people will be listed. The names and heights should be displayed one per line, with the name first followed by a colon, then the height in cm. At the end of the program the total number of people matching the search criteria should be displayed as well.
