We are evaluating a project that costs $520,000, has a life of 6 years, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 73,000 units per year. Price per unit is $45, variable cost per unit is $30, and fixed costs are $840,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent and we require a return of 15 percent on this project. a. Calculate the accounting break-even point. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) b-1. Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your NPV answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b-2. What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.) c. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

b) Bond with 10 year maturity, a face value or $1,000, a coupon rate of 7% (coupon is paid annually) and assume that the yield to maturity on the bond is 7%. Compute the duration of this bond.

c) Next, we are going to analyze the effect of time to maturity on the duration of the bond. Compute the duration of a bond with a face value of $1,000, a coupon rate of 7% (coupon is paid annually) and a yield to maturity of 7% for maturities of 2 to 18 years in 1-year increments (so here we are going to vary the time to maturity and see how duration changes if N=2, 3 … etc.). What happens to duration as maturity increases?

d) (5 points) Next, we are going to analyze the effect of the yield to maturity on the duration of the bond. Compute the duration of a bond with a face value of $1,000, a coupon rate of 7% (coupon is paid annually) and a maturity of 10 years as the interest rate (or yield to maturity) on the bond changes from 2% to 12% (consider increments of 1% - so you need to compute the duration for various yields to maturity 2%, 3%, …, 12%) . What happens to duration as the interest rate increases?

Suppose, the government of Australia incurs a budget deficit of $50 billion due to increased government spending in 2020 as result of Covid 19. Because of this, the government borrowing in 2021 increases by the same amount.

1. Show this development using a graph representing the market for loanable funds for Australia[1]. Explain in writing the effect of this on interest rates. .

Graph

Effect on interest rate (1 mark)

2. Compare the size of equilibrium changes in 1) investment, 2) public saving, 3) private saving and 4) national saving (public saving + private saving) with $50 billion increase in borrowing.
   Compare the changes (increase/decrease) in these variables indicating same, less or more than the $50 billion.

3. Will the equilibrium quantity of national savings change by more or less than the initial change in public saving? Explain your answer (in 50 words or less)

[1] Make sure to label the variables represented on the X-axis and Y-axis of the graph clearly. Also mark the curves in the graphs clearly indicating what they represent (i.e. demand or supply of loanable funds)

Following is the seven-year forecast for a new venture called Johnson Transformers:

(all amounts in $000)

Beginning after year 2026 the annual growth in EBIT is expected to be 1.5%, a rate that is projected to be constant over Johnson Transformers remaining life as an enterprise. Beginning in 2026 Johnson's Transformers capital expenditures and depreciation are expected to offset each other (capex - depreciation = 0) and year to year changes in working capital are expected to be zero (working capital levels remain constant year over year). For discounting purposes consider 2020 as year 1. Assume a tax rate is 21% and a cost of capital of 7.75%

Determine the NPV of Johnson Transformers Free Cash Flow for the years 2020 -2026. HINT: Remember to account for loss carry-forwards when determining income taxes.

Mr. X has been seen his business growing and increasing. It is a good business because online sales are available to reach all segment customers. The company is categorized as Small Medium Enterprises. Mr. X tried to anticipate these sales increased by buying more inventories. By buying more inventories, the company can fulfill increasing demand and attract new customers. This is data at present time:

Total Assets IDR 100

Fixed Assets IDR 40

Total current assets IDR 60 which including cash and inventory for IDR 32

Total current liabilities IDR 10

Share Paid Capital is IDR 90

Mr. X plans to expand his business for medium and long planning and it requires long term resources to finance more equipment.

Questions:

a. If the company wants Debt to Asset = 0,50. How much long-term liabilities is needed?

b. What is the changes in Debt to Equity Ratio.?

c. Using the old data (before the DER changes), company want to have current ratio = 2. How much credit purchase need to be made if the company wants current ratio =2?

Solano Company has sales of $720,000, cost of goods sold of $480,000, other operating expenses of $45,000, average invested assets of $2,150,000, and a hurdle rate of 10 percent. Required: 1. Determine Solano’s return on investment (ROI), investment turnover, profit margin, and residual income. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your ROI and Profit Margin percentage answer to the nearest 2 decimal places, (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34%). Round your Investment Turnover answer to 4 decimal places.) 2. Several possible changes that Solano could face in the upcoming year follow. Determine each scenario’s impact on Solano’s ROI and residual income. (Note: Treat each scenario independently.) (Enter your ROI percentage answers to 2 decimal places, (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34%.)) a. Company sales and cost of goods sold increase by 40 percent. b. Operating expenses decrease by $9,000. c. Operating expenses increase by 20 percent. d. Average invested assets increase by $410,000. e. Solano changes its hurdle rate to 16 percent.

Consider the current macroeconomic environment in China. The government considers 8% GDP growth as its target growth rate. But currently, Chinese policymakers feel the country will have trouble reaching this goal. They would like to increase Chinese GDP, using either fiscal or monetary policy. In our class, we have looked at the IS-LM –BOP framework to explore the effects of such policies on an economy. Use this framework to analyze policy choices in China. In particular:

1. What if China moved to a flexible exchange rate? Still assume perfect capital mobility

1. What would expansionary fiscal policy do for China? Use the IS-LM-BOP framework to analyze the effects on GDP, interest rates, and other indicators. Be sure to both draw the IS-LM-BOP AND explain these effects. Include changes to Y, i, P and other important indicators.

2. What would expansionary monetary policy do for China? Use the IS-LM-BOP framework to analyze the effects on GDP, interest rates, and other indicators. Be sure to both draw the IS-LM-BOP AND explain these effects. Include changes to Y, i, P and other important indicators

A 26-year-old male prisoner begins a hunger strike to protest what he considers unfair prison policies. He drinks only tap water, and his only exercise is two daily half-hour walks at approximately 2.5 miles/hr. The temperature in his cell is maintained at 220C. His starting weight is 70 Kg, of which 14% is body fat. At the end of 4 weeks, he is urged by the prison physician, family, friends, and his attorney to stop his fast because of his deteriorating conditions.

a. What changes in plasma levels of energy substrates would occur in the first 3 days of his fast?

b. On what immediate and on what ultimate sources of energy would brain metabolism depend?

c. What role would the liver play in providing energy sources to the brain and muscles?

d. What early changes in plasma levels of hormones would occur? How would this regulate his energy metabolism?

e. What physiologic events would occur when he stopped his fast by drinking a large quantity of a high glucose fluid?
