(a) The manufacturing firm Rebo is considering a new capital investment project. The project will last for five years. The anticipated sales revenue from the project is $3 million in year 1 and $4.2 million in each of years 2 – 5. The cost of materials and labour is 50% of sales revenue and other expenses are $1 million in each year. The project will require working capital investment equal to 20% of the expected sales revenue for each year. This investment must be in place at the start of each year. Working capital will be recovered at the end of the project’s life. The project will require $2.5 million to be spent now on new machinery which will have zero value at the end of the project and will be depreciated each year at 20% of the original cost. The tax rate is 25%. Rebo uses a discount rate of 11% to evaluate its capital investment projects.

(i) What is the net income in each year?

(ii) What is the free cash flow in each year and the net present value (NPV)?

(iii)You discover the following additional information: • The project will utilise a building that the firm leases. No other activities take place in it. If this project does not go ahead the firm will terminate the lease in one year’s time if no other use for it has been found. • Part of each year’s cash flows from the project will be used to increase the dividend payment to shareholders. For each of these items, explain briefly whether or not you would incorporate the information into your analysis of the project’s value.

(b) Zuti has a capital investment project that could start immediately. The project will require a machine costing $2.4 million. The total discounted value now of the cash inflows from the project will be either $2.6 million or $1.9 million with equal probability. The risk-free rate is 3%. Instead of starting immediately the project could be delayed until one year from now to gain more market information. Its total discounted cash inflows at that time will be known as either $2.6 million, or $1.9 million, with certainty.

(i) What is the present value of the option to delay? (ii) The supplier of the machine has offered to deliver it (if required) in one year’s time at a price of only $2 million, if Zuti pays a non-refundable deposit now. What is the maximum the firm should pay as a deposit now? What type of real option does this represent for Zuti? Identify the specific components of the option contract. (Total = 25 marks)

Case 8-1 Krispy Kreme's bonus plan (LO 8-3)

A brief description of Krispy Kreme’s annual cash bonus plan for top executives follows.

The Compensation Committee chose consolidated EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization] and revenue as the performance metrics for fiscal 2012, weighted at 80% and 20%, respectively. Consolidated EBITDA is defined the same way as it is defined in our secured credit facilities. The Compensation Committee assigned three levels of performance for consolidated EBITDA and for Revenue: threshold, target, and maximum.

Source: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. 2012 Proxy, edited for brevity. Krispy Kreme was a public company before being acquired by JAB Holding Company in 2016.

The disclosure further indicates that eligible recipients would receive 70%, 100%, or 140% of the portion of the target bonus for performance attributable to each performance metric for performance at the threshold, target, and maximum levels, respectively. The bonus for performance that falls between two of those levels would be prorated.

The following table provides summary balance sheet information for several years.

Required:

1. One way Krispy Kreme executives could achieve the revenue target is to open new stores as quickly as possible. Explain why this might alarm shareholders.

2. Why might it be important for the bonus plan to use the same EBITDA definition used in Krispy Kreme's "secured credit facilities" (loan agreements)?

3. Describe how Krispy Kreme’s executive bonus plan could encourage accounting abuses.

4. Beginning in fiscal 2014 (the year ended February 1, 2015), Krispy Kreme began using pre-tax income instead of EBITDA as a performance metric in its compensation plan. What information in the company’s balance sheets suggests its management may have been responding to changing financial incentives when the performance metric changed?

1. Training and employee development are essential so that health care organizations can provide quality care...

1. Training and employee development are essential so that health care organizations can provide quality care or products. Suppose you are a health care manager at a walk-in clinic and have learned about new local regulations for all clinics.How can you ensure all of the employees at the clinic learn about these new regulations before they must be enacted? What plan would you develop? Briefly describe your plan.    2. Computers, smartphones, and social media have made communicating faster and easier than before such technologies were used. However, when dealing with health care, faster is not always better. In the age of Twitter, 140 (or even 280) characters may not necessarily be the best way to communicate. What is the best way for health care organizations to use social media to communicate? What type of information is best communicated that way from these organizations? 3. “Health care moved from quality control to quality improvement in the 1990s. In health care, risk is greater because patients’ lives are at stake. Random errors can still occur, but preventable errors must be decreased or eliminated. Quality improvement is a relatively straightforward method of dealing with complex problems in engineering and manufacturing; however, nothing is really more complex than health care since individuals may respond differently to the same medical treatment.” Since quality improvement is so important in health care, choosing the right methods of implementing and measuring quality improvement is critical. Of the following health care processes, which would be a priority for quality improvement, and why? Prescribing patient medication, Administering patient medication, Routine patient care, Patient release/home care instructions.    4. You are an executive at a health care facility that just began to utilize telehealth methods as part of its patient care routine. You are concerned that using these methods may impact the quality of care patients receive. What are some of the steps or guidelines you could take to ensure patients continue to receive quality care? 5. The revenue cycle of a health care organization is a complex and burdensome process that can add to patients’ and health care facilities’ expenses. The provider revenue cycle begins with scheduling and pre-registration and ends with remittance and collections. Which step in the revenue cycle do you feel is in most need of improvements? Why?
