DataPoint Engineering is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $280,000. It has an eight-year midpoint of its asset depreciation range (ADR). It will require an additional initial investment of $180,000 in nondepreciable working capital. $45,000 of this investment will be recovered after the sixth year and will provide additional cash flow for that year. Income before depreciation and taxes for the next six are shown in the following table. Use Table 12–11, Table 12–12. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.

Year Amount
1 $ 197,000
2 168,000
3 138,000
4 123,000
5 99,000
6 89,000


The tax rate is 25 percent. The cost of capital must be computed based on the following:

Cost
(aftertax)
Weights
Debt Kd 6.30 % 30 %
Preferred stock Kp 10.40 10
Common equity (retained earnings) Ke 15.00 60


a. Determine the annual depreciation schedule. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your depreciation base and annual depreciation answers to the nearest whole dollar. Round your percentage depreciation answers to 3 decimal places.)



b. Determine the annual cash flow for each year. Be sure to include the recovered working capital in Year 6. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.)



c. Determine the weighted average cost of capital. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)



d-1. Determine the net present value. (Use the WACC from part c rounded to 2 decimal places as a percent as the cost of capital (e.g., 12.34%). Do not round any other intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

mean cost of P51,582 or less?

4. Two sets of bolts are intended to have different lengths but the same diameter. The

diameters of bolts of Type I have a variance of 4 cm; the diameters of the bolts of Type II

have a variance of 12 cm. Random samples of 10 bolts of Type I and 20 bolts of Type II

are obtained. What is the probability that the sample means will differ by at least 1.5 cm?

5. A random sample of 10 students from QUAMETH EA has an average grade of 65 with a

variance of 25; an independent random sample of 18 students from QUAMETH EB has

an average grade of 70 with a variance of 20. Assume that the grades of the two sections

are independently normally distributed with the same variance and means differing by 5

with the average of grade of EB higher than that of EA. Find the probability that the

sample mean of QUAMETH EB is at least 10 points higher than the sample mean of

QUAMETH EA.

6. Manufacturers of golf balls are concerned with a scientific concept called the coefficient

of restitution, defined as the ratio of the relative velocity of the ball and club after impact

to the relative velocity before impact. A manufacturer has developed a new solid-core

golf ball which he wishes to sell side-by-side with his firm's standard brand. The mean

coefficient of restitution for the new solid-core ball and the firm's standard brand of golf

ball are 0.69 and 0.55, respectively. The standard deviations of the coefficient of

restitution are 0.18 for the solid-core golf ball and 0.22 for the firm's standard brand. The

coefficient of restitution of the two types of golf balls can be assumed to be normally

distributed. A large institutional buyer of golf balls selects a random sample of 25 solid-

core golf balls and another random sample of 21 standard golf balls to test and compare

the two brands. Referring to the samples:

a) What is the probability that the mean coefficient of restitution of the solid-core golf

ball is greater than that of the standard golf ball?

b) What is the probability that the variance of coefficient of restitution of the solid-core

golf ball is less than 0.01674?

c) What is the probability that the ratio of the variance of the solid-core golf ball to the

standard brand is between 1.3924 and 1.9145?

7. The washers used in a particular type of motor are required to be of uniform thickness and

are manufactured so that the thickness has a standard deviation of a 0.0001 cm. What is

the probability that the standard deviation of a random sample of 25 washers is between

0.000072 cm and 0.00014 cm? Assume normality of population.

8. The variance of population 1 is twice the variance of population 2. Independent random

samples of size 16 and 11 are taken from these two normal populations. What is the

probability that the sample variance from population 1 is less than 5.7 times the sample

variance from population 2?

9. It is known that 5% of the radio tubes produced by a certain manufacturer are defective. If

the manufacturer sends out lots containing 100 tubes, what is the probability that at least

98% of the tubes are good?

10. The proportion of male births in the country per week is 0.48. What is the probability that

UST Hospital, which normally carries out natal deliveries at the rate of 40 babies per

week, will deviate at most 10% from the national statistic?

11. The proportion of households who watch a TV special in Ilocos is 60%. In Leyte, the

proportion of households who watch the same special is 70%. If a sample of 50 is

obtained from each province, what is the probability that the sample proportion from

Ilocos is less than that of Leyte?

12. A manufacturer produces test tubes from two independent processes. Process 1 produces

10% defectives while Process 2 produces 15% defectives. Random samples of size 100

are obtained from each process on a daily basis. What is the probability that the sample

from Process 1 has fewer defectives than the of Process 2?

13. A new process will be installed if its mean processing time is at most 20 minutes. The

new procedure was tried. In a random sample of 50 trials, an average processing time of

22.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 4.3 minutes was obtained. At a level of

significance of 0.05, should the new process be installed?

14. The output of a chemical process is monitored by taking a sample of 20 vials to determine

the level of impurities. The desired mean level of impurities is 0.040 grams per vial. If the

mean level of impurities in the sample is too high, the process will be stopped and

purged; if the sample mean is too low, the process will be stopped and the values will be

readjusted. Otherwise, the process will continue.

a) Sample results provide sample mean to be equal to 0.047 grams with sample standard

deviation equal to 0.018. At a significance level of 0.01, should the process be

stopped? If so, what type of remedial action will be required?

b) Assume that the mean level of impurities is within tolerable limits. If the maximum

tolerable variability of the process is 0.0002, do the sample results verify the

suspicion that the maximum tolerable variability has been exceeded? Use a 5% level

of significance.

15. Two astronomers recorded observations on a certain star. The 35 readings obtained by the

first astronomer have a mean reading of 1.45. The 32 observations by the second

astronomer have a mean reading of 1.30. Past experience has indicated that each

astronomer obtains readings with a variance of 0.50. Is there any difference between the

mean readings of the two astronomers? Use a level of significance of 0.01.

reached at the 1% level of significance?

18. In an attitude test, 55 out of 120 persons of Community 1 and 115 persons out of 400 of

Community 2 answered “Yes” to a certain question. Do these two communities differ

fundamentally in their attitudes on this question assuming a 5% level of significance?

20. An advertising company wants to determine if the cartoon series, Voltes V, appeals to

male viewers more than female viewers. Based on random telephone interviews, it was

found that 23 out of 48 females and 41 out of 90 females watch the series regularly. What

should the advertising company conclude at the 5% level of significance?
