Martinez Co. is building a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,690,000. It received a downpayment of $550,000 from local businesses to support the project, and now needs to borrow $2,140,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,140,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds. These bonds were issued on January 1, 2016, and pay interest annually on each January 1. The bonds yield 11%.

- Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2016.

- Prepare a bond amortization schedule up to and including January 1, 2020, using the effective interest method.

- Assume that on July 1, 2019, Martinez Co. redeems half of the bonds at a cost of $1,173,900 plus accrued interest. Prepare the journal entry to record this redemption.

What are the different ways to calculate the cost of equity? Provide examples of when it is appropriate to use each.

1. What is meant by an agency cost or agency problem as it relates to corporate finance? Name and discuss any two mechanisms Boards of Directors use to control or minimise agency costs or the agency problem?

Briefly explain the differences among budget, cost, and price for a software project.

1. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $710,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $155,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $21,800.
2. A machine costs $570,000, has a $33,800 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $84,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Assume the company requires a 12% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

There are six resources of cost advantage for firms. Identify three of these sources and provide examples for each

Cost of Units Completed and in Process

The charges to Work in Process—Assembly Department for a period, together with information concerning production, are as follows. All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production.

a. Based on the above data, determine the different costs listed below.

If required, round your interim calculations to two decimal places.

b. Did the production costs change from the preceding period?
Yes

c. Assuming that the direct materials cost per unit did not change from the preceding period, did the conversion costs per equivalent unit increase, decrease, or remain the same for the current period?
Increase

A supervisor asks you to advise them on a project's value. The cost of capital is 8.4%

The NPV of the project is $____. Round to two decimal places

Kolby’s Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $745,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s 7-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $103,000. The sausage system will save the firm $219,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $71,000.

a)What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?

Aftertax salvage value=

b) What is the annual operating cash flow?

OCF=

c) If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?

NPV=
