Owen’s Electronics has nine operating plants in seven southwestern states. Sales for last year were $100 million, and the balance sheet at year-end is similar in percentage of sales to that of previous years (and this will continue in the future). All assets (including fixed assets) and current liabilities will vary directly with sales. The firm is working at full capacity.

Balance Sheet
(in $ millions)
Assets Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity
  Cash $ 4   Accounts payable $ 17
  Accounts receivable 22   Accrued wages 4
  Inventory 25   Accrued taxes 10
   Current assets $ 51     Current liabilities $ 31
  Fixed assets 42   Notes payable 12
  Common stock 17
  Retained earnings 33
  Total assets $ 93   Total liabilities and
   stockholders' equity
$ 93

   Owen’s has an aftertax profit margin of 7 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 25 percent.

If sales grow by 20 percent next year, determine how many dollars of new funds are needed to finance the growth. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions, (e.g., $1,234,567).)

New FUNDS would be _________???

I’m trying to determine whether there is a relationship between e-commerce activities and satisfaction.

1-Using summary output generated in ms-excel regression analysis, make the relevant interpretation using r and r2    (I’ve found the “correlation” coefficient 0,28275. Where does this information belong in regression equation?)

2- Explanation the meaning of regression coefficients

3- is this regression significant? Why?

4- what would you predict satisfaction to be where the e-commerce activities rating is 2.00?

  1. Draw a network to represent the above project.
  2. What is the critical path? What is the expected completion time? What is the variance of the project completion time? (Complete the expected task time and variance of time calculations.)
  3. The project manager realizes that it is best to take at least 20 weeks to complete the project. However, she also thinks that delaying the project past 26 weeks will result in considerable loss for the company. What is the probability that it will take between 20 and 26 weeks to complete the project?
  4. For the next two parts, assume that the expected times you calculated are the deterministic single point estimates of time. Because of work in other projects, the manager realizes that is very likely that activity B will take 5 more weeks than initially determined. What is the new completion time for the project, given this information?
  5. The manager wants to reduce the project time by two weeks. How can this be achieved? What are the implications? (Answer this question conceptually.)

Company XYZ decides to invest in a $25,000,000 project. The company will finance the project with 50% debt and 50% equity. The term of the loan is interest only, compounded annually, 5%, and over 5 years. The project will allow the company to produce and sell an additional 100,000 widgets at $130 a widget. The cost of producing each widget is 50% of revenue. Furthermore, the project will fully depreciate in 5 years on a straight-line basis and the project will end. The tax rate is 21%

  1. What is 1st year CF to equity holders?
  2. What is the 5th year CF to equity holders?
  3. What is the IRR?
  4. If the company’s required rate on this project is 10%, what is the NPV?
  5. Would you accept it?
