Mills Corporation acquired as a long-term investment $300 million of 7% bonds, dated July 1, on July 1, 2018. Mills determined that it should account for the bonds as an available-for-sale investment. The market interest rate (yield) was 5% for bonds of similar risk and maturity. Mills paid $340 million for the bonds. The company will receive interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. As a result of changing market conditions, the fair value of the bonds at December 31, 2018, was $320 million. Required: 1. & 2. Prepare the journal entry to record Mills’ investment in the bonds on July 1, 2018 and interest on December 31, 2018, at the effective (market) rate. 3. At what amount will Mills report its investment in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet? 4. Suppose Moody’s bond rating agency upgraded the risk rating of the bonds, and Mills decided to sell the investment on January 2, 2019, for $352 million. Prepare the journal entries to record the sale. Record any reclassification adjustment. Record the sale of the investment by Mills.

Although Romeo and Juliet might be the first story that comes to mind when someone is asked to name a great love story, it is certainly not the only one. Choose your favorite love story from literature, film, or song, and, considering the kinds of love discussed in this chapter (eros, agape, romantic, family), describe which kind of love is represented in the story and what the story implies about the nature of true love.

RAK, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $250,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $42,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 18 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 30 percent lower. RAK is considering a $100,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 8 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 10,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for questions a and b. Assume the company has a market-to-book ratio of 1.0.

Calmex is situated in North India. It specialises in manufacturing overhead water tanks. The management of Calmex has identified a niche market in certain southern cities that need a particular size of water tank not currently manufactured by the company. The company is thus thinking of producing a new type of tank. The survey of company’s marketing department reveals that the company could sell 1,20,000 tanks each year for 6 years at a price of Rs 700 each. The company’s current facilities cannot be used to manufacture new tanks. Thus it will have to buy new machinery. A manufacturer has offered 2 options to the company.
1st option: Buy 4 small machines with the capacity of manufacturing 30,000 tanks each at Rs 15 million each. The machine operation and manufacturing cost of each tank will be Rs 535.
2nd option: Buy 1 large machine with the capacity of 120000 units p.a. for Rs 120 million. The machine operation and manufacturing cost of each tank will be Rs 400.
The company is looking at raising the required capital through a mix of debt, equity and retained earnings in the proportion of 0.5, 0.25 and 0.25 respectively. The company has just declared a dividend of 15% on equity share of face value of Rs 100 each. The expected future growth rate in dividend is 12% p.a. The equity share is currently trading at a price of Rs 168. The bonds of face value Rs 1000 and coupon rate of 16% p.a. is currently trading at Rs 900. Five years remain to maturity and bonds are redeemable at Rs 1100. Assume the applicable tax rate to be 50%. Which option should the company accept? Use alternative techniques of evaluation (NPV, Payback period and Profitability index).

Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $285,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. The new machine will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. Management thinks the machine would have a value of $22,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. Net operating working capital would increase by $26,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life. Holmes's marginal tax rate is 25%, and a 12% WACC is appropriate for the project.

  2. Assume management is unsure about the $90,000 cost savings-this figure could deviate by as much as plus or minus 20%. What would the NPV be under each of these situations? Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

  3. Suppose the CFO wants you to do a scenario analysis with different values for the cost savings, the machine's salvage value, and the net operating working capital (NOWC) requirement. She asks you to use the following probabilities and values in the scenario analysis:
    Scenario Probability Cost Savings Salvage Value NOWC
    Worst case 0.35 $72,000 $17,000 $31,000
    Base case 0.35 $90,000 $22,000 $26,000
    Best case 0.30 $108,000 $27,000 $21,000

    Calculate the project's expected NPV, its standard deviation, and its coefficient of variation. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.

The Dauten Toy Corporation uses an injection molding machine that was purchased prior to the new tax legislation. This machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,400, and it can be sold for $2,600 at this time. Thus, the annual depreciation expense is $2,400/6 = $400 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $500 at the end of its useful life.

Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $9,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $800 per year; even so, the new machine's much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by $1,000 per year. The new machine would require that inventories be increased by $2,500, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $800. Dauten's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%.

What is the NPV of the incremental cash flow stream? Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

The Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each project has an initial outflow of $6,750 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual project cash flows begin 1 year after the initial investment and are subject to the following probability distributions:

Project A Project B
Probability Cash Flows Probability Cash Flows
0.2 $6,500 0.2 $          0  
0.6   6,750 0.6 6,750  
0.2   7,000 0.2 18,000  

BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 11% and the less-risky project at 10%.
