If you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we now have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company over the past four years:

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
  High price $ 98.70 $ 122.30 $ 131.70 $ 148.33
  Low price 73.53 89.64 70.32 116.85
  EPS 7.98 9.73 10.81 12.20

  

Earnings are projected to grow at 5 percent over the next year.

What is your high target stock price over the next year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Reeve Corporation purchased a factory machine on JAN 1st, Year 1, for $40,000, estimated a useful life of 8 years, and estimated Residual Value (Scrap Value) of $4,000.

1. Using the Straight Line Method, calculate Depreciation Expense for Years 1 thru 8. Calculate Book Value for Years Ending 1 thru 8.

2. Using the Double Declining Balance Method, calculate Depreciation Expense for Years 1 thru 8. Calculate Book Value for Years Ending 1 thru 8.

Reeve Corporation estimated the factory machine purchased on JAN 1st, Year 1, for $40,000, has a Residual Value of $4,000, and an estimated useful life of 20,000 operating hours over the 8 year life of the asset. Estimated Operating Hours: Year 1- 2,000, Year 2- 2,000, Year 3- 2,000, Year 4- 2,000, Year 5- 2,000, Year 6- 4,000, Year 7- 4,000, and Year 8- 2,000.

Mr. Brown wants to buy a Tesla Model S car, whose price is $100, 848. The dealer offers a loan plan: $30, 000 down payment, $X at the end of year 1, year 2, year 3, and year 4. Assume the constant annual interest rate is 25%.

(a) What is X? [Hint: you may want to use calculators.]

(b) Suppose Mr. Brown accepts the offer. How much does Mr. Brown finance?

(c) What is the principle payment at the end of year 1?

(d) After taking the auto loan, Mr. Brown gets a refinance opportunity at the end of year 1 (right after he makes the first payment). That is, Mr. Brown can borrow from the bank to pay all remaining principle at the end of year 1. In this refinance plan, Mr. Brown needs to pay the bank $25, 000 at the end of year 2, year 3, year 4, and year 5. Will Mr. Brown choose to refinance? [Hint: the interest rate is still 25%. Mr. Brown will choose to refinance if and only if the NPV of the refinance plan is positive.]

Please focus on (d).

Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $322,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $1,720,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $105,000 per year until it reaches $1,195,000, where it will remain. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

  

If your required return is 13 percent, calculate the NPV today. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

If your required return is 13 percent, calculate the NPV if you wait to purchase the machine until the indicated year. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  1. Assume you purchased herd of 20 pigs for breeding and you pay $500 per pig for them – total of $10,000. You bought them on March 1, 2017. Assume there is no loss of pigs and the salvage value is $150 per pig ($3,000 total). The useful life is 5 years. Use the MACRS 3-year schedule as shown in the PowerPoint (this is different from the useful life).

Using the information above and any documents provided to you calculate the “Previous Year Depreciation” and the Beginning of Year Book Value” for the years and the depreciation method in the table below. Place your answers in the table.

1A) 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 = -158,000
Year 1 cash flow = 30,000
Year 2 cash flow = 36,000
Year 3 cash flow = 38,000
Year 4 cash flow = 39,000
Year 5 cash flow = 43,000
Year 6 cash flow = 42,000

1B) 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 17.1%. (Round to nearest penny)

Year 0 cash flow -96,000
Year 1 cash flow 48,000
Year 2 cash flow 40,000
Year 3 cash flow 53,000
Year 4 cash flow 43,000
Year 5 cash flow 25,000

1C) Spacely Sprockets Inc is a new start-up evaluating a new project. They worry that they don't have all the requisite operating information they will need to estimate Cash Flows From Assets and that they wouldn't be able to evaluate this project based on NPV and IRR (which both use the CFFA's to evaluate). Instead they have decided to use the Average Accounting Return (AAR) rule to evaluate the project. What is the AAR for this project? (Enter your answer as a percentage and Round to 2 decimals)
