A car of mass 1110 kg enters a banked turn with a banking angle of 11.1° and a radius of 300 m at a speed of 30.0 m/s. The coefficient of static friction between the car’s wheels and the pavement is 0.0881. The turn covers a total of 1 45°.

(a) If the car experiences a drag force that of D=kv where k=32.0kg/s, how much thrust must the car provide to maintain constant velocity in the turn?

(b) If the engine of the car suddenly cuts out at 2.10 s after entering the curve, and the only tangential force acting on the car is the drag force, how fast will the car be traveling by the time it exits the curve?

(c) Will the car begin to slip before it exits the curve in this case above where the engine fails after 2.10 s?

Given the following information:

            Nominal Initial Cost = $68,000;       Nominal Before-tax Net Return = 11,000

            Marginal Tax Rate = 20%;               Required rate of return = 12%

            Real Terminal Value = $60,000;      Investment Life = 3 years

            Inflation Rate = 4%;                          Risk Premium = 2%

Suppose that IRS will allow the investor to depreciate the investment using straight-line over 12 years.

(iv) What is the nominal after-tax terminal value?

            a.         $60,120                      b.         $64,600

            c.          $64,193                      d.         $64,005

            (v) What is the present value of the nominal after-tax terminal value?

            a.         $41,446                      b.         $44,534

            c.          $46,685                      d.         $44,124

(vi) What is the NPV of this investment?

            a.         $4,571.32                   b.         $4,754.17

            c.          $4,388.17                   d.         $3,657.06

Boston Cube Inc. currently has no debt, annual free cash flows of $52 million and an average tax rate of 34%. Free cash flows are expected to grow by 7% per year forever.

Using the CAPM, the firm estimates that its cost of equity is 12%. The risk-free rate is 2% and the expected equity market risk premium is 7%. There are 8 million shares outstanding.

The firm is considering a new capital structure with a debt-to-capital ratio of 50%. The company would issue bonds to repurchase its own shares at the current market price. An investment bank has estimated that the yield to maturity on the company's bonds would be 6%.

1.) What is the stock price before the recapitalization?

2.) What will be the WACC after the recapitalization?

3.) What will be the stock price after the recapitalization?

1. If you are offered to invest an amount of $ 100,000 in a business opportunity that expected to achieve operating cash inflow after considering taxes (net of taxes & before depreciation) in the future as follows:

Year (1) $ 32,000, Year (2) $ 35,000, Year (3) $ 40,000, & Year (4) $ 25,000

Would you accept this business opportunity if the required rate of returns is 15%?

----------------------------------

2. If you have the following information about an investment opportunity:
   1. Initial investment (cash out- required capital) is $ 500,000
   2. Expected operating cash inflows( after considering taxes) in year (1) $ 200,000, in year (2) $ 260,000, in year (3) $ 250,000, & in year (4) $ 150,000

Calculate the payback period, the net present value if the cost of capital is % 15%, & also calculate the internal rate of return?

As an intern in a manufacturing company, you are assigned to evaluate two alternative production quality-tracking systems. System I costs $285 000 and has three-year life. The before-tax cash operating costs are $62 000 per year. System II costs $420 000, has a five year life with the after tax costs of $34 000 per year. For both systems, straight-line depreciation is used. The resulting book value will be zero for both systems but the estimated value is around 10% of the purchase price. The tax rate is 30% and the cost of capital is 10%. Evaluate the after-tax cash flows for both alternatives and find the best alternative by considering equivalent annuities (more precisely equivalent annual cost, EAC).

St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from $24,000 to $46,000 per year. The new machine will cost $80,000; and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 10%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer. Show your calculation of the after-tax cash flows, a timeline with the after-tax cash flows, and calculate the NPV.

Some new production machinery has a first cost of $100,000 and a useful like of 10 years. Its estimated operating and maintenance costs are $10,000 the first year, which will increase annually by $4000. The asset’s before-tax market value will be $50,000 at the end of the first year and then will decrease by $5000 annually. This property is a 7-year MACRS property. The company uses a 6% after tax MARR and is subject to a combined federal/state tax rate of 40%. Calculate the after tax cash flows. The spreadsheet also needs to be able to use WACC in place of a given interest rate. The spreadsheet needs to accommodate different tax rates, and must include ATCF for O&M and Depreciation and ATCFs of disposal if the equipment is sold in each of the 10 years. Combine these to Identify the optimal life.

Ron Abrams, VP Operations for Wilson Bros. has come wandering into your office muttering under his breath (clearly exasperated) after reading the financial statements for one of the plants in Western Europe. After composing himself somewhat he says, "How can a Canadian finance executive sign off on these statements? They look nothing like any statement I’ve seen in Canada before! I know we paid a translator to present these in English, but I cannot make heads or tails of these. Are we profitable there or not?" Knowing what you have read about financial statements briefly describe if these financial statements could be correct, and if so why? Provide constructive feedback to at least two other students’ postings.

1\ restate the partial income statements to reflect the correct amounts after fixing the inventory error

2\ compute the gross profit percentage for each year (a) before the correction and (b) after the correction

2.a\ does the pattern of gross profit percentage lend confidence to your corrected amount
