A small solid sphere of mass M0, of radius R0, and of uniform density ρ0 is placed in a large bowl containing water. It floats and the level of the water in the dish is L. Given the information below, determine the possible effects on the water level L, (R-Rises, F-Falls, U-Unchanged), when that sphere is replaced by a new solid sphere of uniform density.

Factor Company is planning to add a new product to its line. To manufacture this product, the company needs to buy a new machine at a $540,000 cost with an expected four-year life and a $26,000 salvage value. All sales are for cash, and all costs are out-of-pocket, except for depreciation on the new machine. Additional information includes the following. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round PV factor value to 4 decimal places.)

Expected annual sales of new product $ 1,990,000
Expected annual costs of new product
Direct materials 486,000
Direct labor 678,000
Overhead (excluding straight-line depreciation on new machine) 396,000
Selling and administrative expenses 166,000
Income taxes 30 %


Required:
1. Compute straight-line depreciation for each year of this new machine’s life.
2. Determine expected net income and net cash flow for each year of this machine’s life.
3. Compute this machine’s payback period, assuming that cash flows occur evenly throughout each year.
4. Compute this machine’s accounting rate of return, assuming that income is earned evenly throughout each year.
5. Compute the net present value for this machine using a discount rate of 6% and assuming that cash flows occur at each year-end. (Hint: Salvage value is a cash inflow at the end of the asset’s life.)

Bilboa Freightlines, S.A., of Panama, has a small truck that it uses for intracity deliveries. The truck is worn out and must be either overhauled or replaced with a new truck. The company has assembled the following information:


Present

Truck
Purchase cost new $ 32,000 $ 40,000
Remaining book value $ 19,000 -
Overhaul needed now $ 18,000 -
Annual cash operating costs $ 16,500 $ 14,000
Salvage value-now $ 8,000 -
Salvage value-five years from now $ 7,000 $ 6,000

    

If the company keeps and overhauls its present delivery truck, then the truck will be usable for five more years. If a new truck is purchased, it will be used for five years, after which it will be traded in on another truck. The new truck would be diesel-operated, resulting in a substantial reduction in annual operating costs, as shown above.

The company computes depreciation on a straight-line basis. All investment projects are evaluated using a 11% discount rate.

Question 16

  1. Imagine that exactly 5 years ago, a team of epidemiologists identified a study population of 4,500 men, 65-74 years, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to determine the incidence (or risk) of prostate cancer. Initial tests indicated that 515 of the men already had prostate cancer (and therefore not at risk). The remaining men were followed for 5 years to determine the cumulative incidence of prostate cancer. By the end of the follow-up, 156 men had developed prostate cancer. What was 5-year cumulative incidence?

    37 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 men over the 5-year study

    38 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 men over the 5-year study

    39 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 men over the 5-year study

    40 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 men over the 5-year study

    41 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 men over the 5-year study

Question 17

  1. Imagine that a study of prostate cancer was initiated in Des Moines, Iowa. A total of 1,000 men, 55-64 years of age, with no prior evidence of prostate cancer were enrolled in a 4 year study. Each year during the study, the men being observed were examined and tested for presence of prostate cancer. The results of annual examinations revealed:
    20 cases confirmed at 1st
    exam
    25 additional cases at 2nd
    exam
    40 additional cases at 3rd
    exam
    45 additional cases at 4th
    (final) exam
    What is incidence density of prostate cancer in this group?

    18 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 person-years in the study

    34 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 person-years in the study

    37 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 person-years in the study

    42 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 person-years in the study

    105 new cases of prostate cancer per 1,000 person-years in the study

Due to the recovery that is threatening to cause sales togrow faster than the company can...

Due to the recovery that is threatening to cause sales togrow faster than the company can produce output, City Manufacturing, Inc. has decided to change its credit terms from net 35 days to net 30 days. City believes that this policy change will keep sales at their current level, but decrease the firm’s averagecollection period by 5 days (from 35 days to 30 days). Assume that this policy change will have no effect on costs, and because it also will have no effect on sales, it will have no impact on net income.

36.If any asset change(s) resulting from this new policy will be offset by a corresponding and equal change in short-term debt (i.e., notes payable), all else constant, this new policy should cause the firm’s current ratio (assuming an initial current ratio greater than one) to:

a.INCREASE

b.DECREASE

c.NO CHANGE3

7.If any asset change(s) resulting from this new policy will be offset by a corresponding and equal change in common stock, all else constant, this new policy should cause the firm’s return on equity to:

a.INCREASE

b.DECREASE

c.NO CHANGE

38.If any asset change(s) resulting from this new policy will be offset by a corresponding and equal change long-term debt, all else constant, this new policy should cause the firm’s debt ratio to (assuming that the current debt ratio is 40%):

a.INCREASE

b.DECREASE

c.NO CHANGE

39.If any asset change(s) resulting from this new policy will be offset by a corresponding and equal change in cash, all else constant, this new policy should cause the firm’s total asset turnover ratio to:

a.INCREASE

b.DECREASE

c.NO CHANGE

40.If any asset change(s) resulting from this new policy will be offset by a corresponding and equal change in short-term debt (i.e., notes payable), all else equal, this new policy should cause the firm’s quick ratio (assuming that the current quick ratio = 0.8) to:

a.INCREASE

b.DECREASE

Osama Co. is a listed company operating in the textile industry. Osama Co’s board of directors met recently to discuss a new strategy for the business. The proposal put forward was to sell all the old plant and machinery and use this fund as well as borrow from market to purchase new plant and equipment. The new plant and machinery are more productive and meet the current standard quality required by the international buyers. It is also argued that new plant is more energy efficient and environment friendly that gives more advantage when facing international competitors.

The proposal stated that the funds raised from the sale of the old plant and machinery would be used to buy the new plant and machinery.

New borrowing for the balance amount will be made from local bank which offered lowest rate. Since inflation is on higher side compared to last few years so cost of borrowing is on higher side which will increase firm cost of capital.

The board of directors are of the opinion that increasing the level of debt in OSAMA Co. will increase the company’s risk and therefore it can increase its cost of equity capital. It is assumed that due to change in plant and equipment current local sales of the product will not be affected.

New Plant price                                  Rs.5.32 million

Sales of old plant                                Rs.1.32 million

Firm existing capital structure i.e. debt to assets ratio is 40:60.

At this level firm interest rate on all debt is 9.5%.

After borrowing firm capital structure will shift to 60:40 and at this level firm beta will shift from earlier 1.2 to 1.4. Risk free rate of return is 7% and market risk premium is 6%. New loan is negotiated with HBL bank and it is agreed that this loan will be for five years at 11% mark up.

Instructions:

  1. How much borrowing required by firm?
  2. Why risk factor will increase if firm is changing its capital structure?
  3. What is the current weighted average cost of capital?
  4. What the new cost of equity capital?
  5. What would be new Weighted Average Cost of Capital?
