EEC calculated the amount of time involved the anticipation of its cost ($3 million). The timeline in recovering their cost of investment ($2 million) initially for the foundation of this investment any profit made in the future of this investment will be justified as a profit for the company. If EEC can anticipate a fast return on its investment it is a profitable wise decision in making the investment financial, it is considered to be an easier way of formulating investments financially. On the basis of one year all cash flows is added together equal to the sum of $2 million originally invested, then it is divided by the annual cash flow of $500,000. The calculation of the payback period would equal four years. After this time frame any financial proceeds will be considered profitable for the company. I conclude that the timeframe is adequate in comparison of the investment in this worthwhile investment financial venture for the company.

This project is to identify and analyze HPL (Hansson Private Label ) company’s new investment decisions based on a series of calculations include: Operating Cash Flows (OCF), Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Sensitivity Analysis. The analysis suggests that Hansson should be very cautious regarding the investment proposal that is developed by his manufacturing team. Although the projections and analysis of the project for the next 10 years proposed by Robert Gates seems reasonable and will generate positive NPV and an IRR greater than the discount rate, NPV is very sensitive with regard to unit volume and unit selling price changes. A decrease in the projected unit volume and selling price might produce

There was a significant investment opportunity that the top level executives had proposed that Mr. Case rejected due to his satisfaction with his current income and also lack of desire to enter what could possibly be a riskier product market in order to create a more competitive but less profitable business. The project was projected to cost $1.1 million, with $900,000 spread between the first two years. The expected yield in the first year was $1 million, with a 40% growth rate in years 2-4 and a 12% growth rate thereafter. It was projected to have a before-tax profit margin of 6%. With Mr. Case out of the picture it will be possible to pursue this opportunity and increase growth rates through reinvestment of earnings in related businesses instead of disbursement of dividends. This could mean bigger profits for management if the faster growth rate allowed them to take the company public at a high price-earnings ratio.

The investments of stockholders, corporations depend a lot on to fund their business operations. The company stands to gain and grow from selling their stock, when viewing each entity separately.

Ameritrade plans to make an investment which is 1\3 of its total value. By any standards, this is a very significant amount For Ameritrade. Ameritrade’s balance sheet for 1997 shows that the firm has ~ 53.5$m in cash reserves, which might be considered as possible financing source. The firm’s net income for that same year is much lower and equals to ~13.8$m. The implications are that minor fluctuations in Ameritrade’s cash flow might result in negative net income next year and therefore we conclude that Ameritrade should not use its cash reserves for its planned investments in order to prevent cash flow crunch scenarios. Another option is to finance the project by issuing equity, however at that stage we can’t examine this option based on the available data. That been said and without the ability to find the optimal capital structure, we believe that the whole amount of the planned investment should be financed by bonds issuance. Thus, the interest-bearing debt for our calculations will be 255,000,000$.

Investor within the corporation has invested money in the corporation based of their overall lifespan as an organizations and how they are mass producing there product.

Managers of an acquiring company anticipate cost savings pretax of $50 million in the first year of the deal and $100 million the next and that thereafter the savings would grow @ inflation, 2%. Marginal tax rate is 30%. The firm must invest $1 billion to achieve these savings and starting in the third year must spend 5% of the pre-tax savings to sustain the rate of savings. As part of rationalization of operations, some assets will be sold generating a positive cash flow of $20 million net of tax in years 1 and 2 and $10 million in year 3. The analyst judges that these costs savings are rather certain, reflecting a degree of risk consistent with the variability in the firm’s
