Problem 1- Schedule of Cash Receipts

Watt’s Lighting Stores made the following sales projection for the next six months. All sales are credit sales.

March……. $35,000 June……. $34,000

April…… $42,000 July……. $42000

May……. $25,000 August…. $48,000

Sales in January and February were $32,000 and $36,000, respectively. Experience has shown that of total sales, 10 percent are uncollectible, 30 percent are collected in the month of sale, 40 percent are collected in the following month, and 20 percent are collected two months after sale.

Prepare a monthly cash receipts schedule for the firm for March through August. Of the sales expected to be made during the six months from March through August, how much will still be uncollected at the end of August? How much of this is to be collected later?

(Related to Checkpoint 13.2 and Checkpoint​ 13.3) ​ (Comprehensive risk​ analysis) Blinkeria is considering introducing a new line of hand scanners that can be used to copy material and then download it into a personal computer. These scanners are expected to sell for an average price of ​$105 each, and the company analysts performing the analysis expect that the firm can sell 101,000 units per year at this price for a period of five​ years, after which time they expect demand for the product to end as a result of new technology. In​ addition, variable costs are expected to be $19 per unit and fixed​ costs, not including​ depreciation, are forecast to be ​$1,060,000 per year. To manufacture this​ product, Blinkeria will need to buy a computerized production machine for $9.3 million that has no residual or salvage​ value, and will have an expected life of five years. In​ addition, the firm expects it will have to invest an additional $306000 in working capital to support the new business. Other pertinent information concerning the business venture is provided​ here:

Question options:

Stock 1: The Binkelman Corporation has just announced that it plans to introduce a new solar panel that will greatly reduce the cost of solar energy. As a result, analysts now expect the company’s earnings, currently $5 per share to grow by 50 percent per year for the next two years, by 25 percent per year for the following two years, and by 8 percent per year, thereafter. Blinkelman does not currently pay a dividend, but it expects to pay out 20 percent of its earnings beginning two years from now and to continue to pay dividends at the same level. The required rate of return for this company is 20 percent for now. Analysts think that it will stay at that level for the next five years and then it decreases to 15%.

Stock 2: Sports Novalties, Inc. has experienced an explosion in demand for its featured football novelties. The firm currently pays a dividend of $0.25 per share. This dividend is expected to increase to $0.75 per share one year from now. It is expected to grow at a rate of 15% per year for the following three years and then growth rate is expected to decrease to 10% and stay at that level. The required return for Sports Novalties is 16% and estimated to stay at that level for three more years and it will be 12% thereafter.

a)Calculate the price of Stock 1 today.

b)Calculate the price of Stock 2 today.

c) Suppose Stock 1 is selling for $25 in the market right now. Decide whether Mary should include Stock 1 in the portfolio of her clients or not and briefly justify your decision.

d)Suppose Mary purchased Stock 2 today with an intention of selling it a year later. Suppose a year has passed and Mary is getting ready to sell her shares. Today, the company announced experiencing some financial difficulties and the required rate of return on company shares suddenly changed to 15% indefinitely. Calculate the new price for Stock 2. Calculate the return she earned on her investment during her 1-year holding period and decompose this return into dividend yield and capital gains yield components.

A consumer with strictly convex preferences chooses an interior optimal bundle A as the solution to the budget constrained, utility maximization problem. If the price of one of the goods increases subsequently and we compensate the consumer with just enough income to reach the same utility level (but no higher) achieved with bundle A prior to the price increase, then bundle A must also be affordable (in the budget set) after the price increase with the additional income compensation.

A 8.6-kg cube of copper (cCu = 386 J/kg-K) has a temperature of 750 K. It is dropped into a bucket containing 5.1 kg of water (cwater = 4186 J/kg-K) with an initial temperature of 293 K. 1) What is the final temperature of the water-and-cube system? K Submit 2) If the temperature of the copper was instead 1350 K, it would cause the water to boil. How much liquid water (latent heat of vaporization = 2.26 × 106 J/kg) will be left after the water stops boiling? kg Submit 3) Let's try this again, but this time add just the minimum amount of water needed to lower the temperature of the copper to 373 K. In other words, we start with the cube of copper at 750 K and we only add enough water at 293 K so that it completely evaporates by the time the copper reaches 373 K. Assume the resulting water vapor remaining at 373 K. How much water do we need ?
