Based on CASE 26.2 Dollars and Cents versus a Sense of Ethics
Grizzly Community Hospital in central Wyoming provides health care services to families living within a 200-mile radius. The hospital is extremely well equipped for a relatively small, community facility. However, it does not have renal dialysis equipment for kidney patients. Those patients requiring dialysis must travel as far as 300 miles to receive care.
Several of the staff physicians have proposed that the hospital invest in a renal dialysis center. The minimum cost required for this expansion is $4.5 million. The physicians estimate that the center will generate revenue of $1.15 million per year for approximately 20 years. Incremental costs, including the salaries of professional staff and depreciation, will average $850,000 annually. Grizzly is exempt from paying any income taxes. The only difference between annual net income and net cash flows is caused by depreciation expense. The center is not expected to have any salvage value at the end of 20 years.
The administrators of the hospital strongly oppose the proposal for several reasons: (1) They do not believe that it would generate the hospital’s minimum required return of 12 percent on capital investments; (2) they do not believe that kidney patients would use the facility even if they could avoid traveling several hundred miles to receive treatment elsewhere; (3) they do not feel that the hospital has enough depth in its professional staff to operate a dialysis center; and (4) they are certain that $4.5 million could be put to better use, such as expanding the hospital’s emergency services to include air transport by helicopter.
The issue has resulted in several heated debates between the physicians and the hospital administrators. One physician has even threatened to move out of the area if the dialysis center is not built. Another physician was quoted as saying, “All the administrators are concerned about is the almighty dollar. We are a hospital, not a profit-hungry corporation. It is our ethical responsibility to serve the health care needs of central Wyoming’s citizens.”

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 $6 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dumps site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. The land was appraised last week for $4.25 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $7.2 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities are current:
Debt: 10,000 8% coupon bonds outstanding, 15 years to maturity selling for 94% of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments.
Common Stock: 250,000 shares outstanding, selling for $65 per share; the beta is 1.3.
Preferred stock: 10,000 shares of 7% preferred stock outstanding, selling for $81 per share.
Market: 8% expected market risk premium; 5.65% risk-free rate
DEI’s tax rate is 34%. The project requires $750,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational.
Calculate the project’s Time 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects.
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 adjusted factor of +2% to account for this increased riskiness. Calculate the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating DEI’s project.
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 $2 million. What is the after-tax salvage value of this manufacturing plant?
The company will incur $900,000 in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture 10,000 RDSs per year and sell them at $10,000 per machine; the variable production costs are $9,100 per RDS. What is the annual operating cash flow, OCF, from this project?
Finally, DEI’s president wants you to throw all your calculations, all your assumptions, and everything else into a report for the chief financial officer; all he wants to know is what the RDS project’s internal rate of return, IRR, and net present value, NPV are. What will you report?

Case Study on Walmart using IT
A major reason for Wal-Mart’s success over the year was its constant emphasis on installing the most modern IT systems, which helped it achieve better economy of scale, distribution efficiency and pass on the benefits of the same to the customers. By offering low price to customers, Wal-Mart was able to generate more sales and minimize the promotional expenditure of the company.
By using IT, Wal-Mart was able to establish proper communication links with its suppliers, distribution centers and individual stores. Wal-Mart employed Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) that linked the computers at the stores, its distribution center and even key suppliers like P&G. In order to make its distribution system more efficient and to establish stronger links with its suppliers, Wal-Mart installed the satellite communication system at an estimated cost of $700 million. The system connected all the operating units of company and the general office with two way voice, data and video communication. Wal-Mart could keep a constant track of the movement of inventory from the manufacturing to the distribution centers and finally, to the stores. Its thousands of suppliers could obtain daily sales reports. The system also helped Wal-Mart to automate the inventory replenishment process.
Wal-Mart also used IT to improve its supply chain efficiency. Wal-Mart installed “Retail link” system that connected EDI networks to an extranet accessed and used by Wal-Mart’s business customers and its thousands of suppliers to obtain data relating to sales and stock levels at every Wal-Mart stores. The data enabled Wal-Mart’s suppliers to analyze market trends, undertake the necessary stock replenishment and plan out their production schedules to cater to Wal-Mart’s needs.
Apart from investing in building advance IT system Wal-Mart simultaneously built massive database of point of sales data at each of its stores. Using data mining Wal-Mart was able to determine the needs and preferences of its customers up to an individual store level and customize its merchandise according.
Q1. What are the benefits Wal-Mart obtained by using modern IT systems for its business and customers?
Q2. Briefly explain the benefit of using EDI over manual systems. Also explain all the benefits discussed in this case that is obtained by Wal-Mart by using EDI and satellites.
Q3. How can Wal-Mart customize merchandise for each store?
Q4. How Retail-link system helped the suppliers of Wal-Mart?

Case II – Godiva Case
Any of irrelevant information to the question below, you can ignore from the description. This case is updated or continued from the first case study in week 7.
[Personal Info.]
Robinson Godiva is 46 years old, and his wife Geniece is 37 years old. Robinson and Geniece were married 8 years ago; it was Robinson’s second marriage and Geniece’s first marriage. Robinson and Geniece have one child Chaplin, who is 6 years of age. Robinson has two children by his prior marriage: Lorna, who is 14 years of age, and Eva, who is 12. All of children attend public schools.
Robinson is a chemistry professor at the university and is a partner in Lion Research Associates, a chemistry firm that Robinson started with three of his associates from the university.
[Asset Info.]
The Godivas own their personal residence in joint tenancy with right of survivorship, and it is valued currently at $250,000. They purchased the home seven years ago for $175,000. They have finished the basement and added a room and bathroom at a cost of $40,000. They have a mortgage balance of $150,000. The Godivas’ household furnishing are valued at $70,000, and Geniece’s jewelry and furs are valued at $30,000. Robinson and Geniece live in a state that follows the common-law forms of property ownership.
Robinson and Geniece have a joint checking account that contains $7,000 and a joint savings account that contains $15,000. Interest income on the savings account last year was $450. The Godivas also have $12,000 in money market mutual funds that paid dividends last year of $515. Robinson owns shares in a growth stock mutual fund that he purchased three years ago for $5,000, is now worth $5,750, and paid dividends last year of $100. Dividends on these shares are expected to grow by 8% per year, and Robinson believes that a 10% rate of return would be appropriate for these shares with their degree of risk. Geniece owns shares in a municipal bond fund purchased for $6,300, currently valued at $7,000, and yielding $400 per year tax-free. The Godivas jointly purchased 500 shares in Roters Power, Inc., a public utility company.

They have a $30,000 mortgage on the property. Interest on the mortgage is $2,700 per year. Real estate taxes are $700.
Robinson owns an apartment building near the university that he rents to students. The apartment building was purchased four years ago for $95,000 and is currently valued at $125,000. The annual gross rental income from the property is $11,000. Robinson has a mortgage balance of $60,000, and his interest payments total $4,950. His real estate taxes and maintenance expenses are $3,000, and depreciation is $2,850.
The Godivas are joint owners of two automobiles. The cars are valued at $25,000 and $17,500. Robinson owns a sailboat which he bought for $35,000 and is valued now at $40,000.
Robinson has a one-fourth interest in the partnership Reptiles Chemicals, which is engaged in research for genetic engineering of various plants. There are no employment contracts for the partners. In addition to the partners, the firm has eight employees, including four research assistants, two secretaries, and two maintenance/hothouse workers. The research assistants are paid $30,000 each, the secretaries are paid $18,000 each, and the other workers are paid $20,000 each.
Robinson and his partners believe that the value of Reptile Chemicals is approximately $1 million. There has been no objective valuation, however. The largest assets of the firm are its building and grounds, where the firm has a laboratory, hothouses, and fields for growing experimental plants. The building and land were purchased for $250,000, and $150,000 was allocated to the building and $100,000 to the land. Additional buildings have been added at a cost of $75,000, and the current value is estimated to be $400,000. The firm has a mortgage balance on the building and land of $150,000. The partnership has been depreciating the building for tax purposes under the original accelerated cost recovery system.

At Geniece’s death, the trust income will be paid to Charles, or if Charles is over age 25, the corpus will be distributed to him. The Godivas file joint tax returns.
Robinson pays child support for his two daughters in the amount of $400 each per month, and these payments are probably 75% of their support annually. Robinson’s daughters are in the custody of their mother and live with her for approximately nine months of the year. Robinson is required by his divorce degree to maintain a $100,000 life insurance policy to provide child support in the event of his death.
Several years ago, Robinson established custodian account for Lorna and Eva. Lorna’s account generate annual income of $900, and Eva’s account has annual income of $850.

Geniece owns IRA accounts totaling $17,000. She is now an active participant in a defined-contribution pension plan through the hospital where she works, and her vested account value is $35,000. Eight percent of Robinson’s gross salary at the university is deducted each year and contributed to a tax-deferred annuity. The university contributes an additional six percent dollar for dollar on a tax-deferred basis. The plan is projected to pay Robinson $2,500 per month when he retires at age 65 or to Geniece at his death.
One of the partners in Reptile Chemicals is age 65 and about two years away from retirement, and two partners are age 55. The partners would like to prepare for the expected retirement of the age-65 partner, as well as the unexpected death or disability of any partner. The partners are also contemplating a retirement program for the firm and would like advice concerning the design.
