The company wants a minimum ending cash balance each month of $50,000. All borrowing is done at the beginning of the month; any repayments are made at the end of the month. The company has an agreement with a bank that allows it to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $50,000 in cash.

Prepare the following budgets for the first three months of 2016:

  1. A cash budget. Show the budget by month and in total.
  2. A budgeted Income Statement for the three-month period ending June 30. Use the variable costing approach.

Beginning after year 2026 the annual growth in EBIT is expected to be 1.5%, a rate that is projected to be constant over LG remaining life as an enterprise.   Beginning in 2026 LG 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%

Calculate the fair market value (NPV) for LG. Assume that the Net Present Value of LG free cash flow for the period 2020 - 2026 is $3000
