- (Additional Questions Next Page) 5. You are considering buying a food truck and other equipment to make a little money in the fall and spring. You are projecting that you can generate the following net cash flows after paying operating expenses: $3800 next month and $2800 the following month. Then you will take the winter off and start back up again next spring, when you hope to earn $2500 6 months from now, $3700 7 months from now, and $4500 8 months from now, $3500 9 months from now, and $4500 12 months from now. (Discount the first $3800 1 month, the $2800 2 months, etc.) Use a discount rate of 6% per year. Show all work below. What is the present value of this cash flow for the first year of operation? (do the problem algebraically by hand, then confirm using one of the Excel methods). What is the value of the cash flow (from the food truck problem) if you do not discount the numbers? 7. Could you use a PMT formula to solve this problem? Why, or why not? 6.arrow_forwardConsider the rental rate of capital for an appliance rental company such as Rent-A-Center. Suppose Rent-A-Center buys televisions at the market price (P) of $3,500 each and rents them out to customers. The company faces an interest rate (r) of 15% per year, and televisions depreciate at 15% per year. Fill in the following table with the interest cost per year and the loss due to wear and tear for each television per year. Borrowing cost per year Depreciation cost G Cost (Dollars per television) Assume that firms renting televisions earn zero profit. Using the information in the previous table, the rental rate of capital, in this case, is per year per television. s to Suppose the depreciation rate decreases due to improvements in the materials used to make televisions. This should cause the equilibrium rental rate Show Transcribed Text The last question option is either "Increase" or "Decrease".arrow_forwardSally is thinking about starting a new business. The company would require $700,000 of assets, financed with 40% debt and 60% equity. She will go forward only if she thinks the firm can provide an ROE of at least 15.9%. Operating at a profit margin of 12%, what is the minimum amount of sales that must be expected to support starting the business? Your answer should be between 472000 and 595000, rounded to even dollars (although decimal) places are okay), with no special characters.arrow_forward
- Suppose you are contemplating buying a collector's edition of a John Maynard Keynes Action Figure. You would have to make a down payment today of $1,000 and then pay $1,875 at the end of two years from now (ie year 2). If you buy it today, a year from today ( ie year 1), you would sell the Action Figure for $2,750. Your minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) is 20%. Find the positive breakeven interest rates on your potential investment. b. Determine whether this is a pure investment. (Use only one breakeven interest rate in your calculation – doesn't matter which one). C. Suppose you use the modified internal rate of return MIRR to evaluate investments. Calculate MIRR and determine if you should buy the Action Figure. (Note: use MARR when evaluating both cash inflows and cash outflows). d. Find the True IRR (You may assume that i is such that PB1 >0) and determine if you should buy the Action Figure.arrow_forwardPlease answer the following showing detailed working: Bruce & Co. expects its EBIT to be $100,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 11 percent. Bruce currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 18 percent. The tax rate is 31 percent. Given the above information; a) Complete the table given below for varying levels of debt below by using a mix of the given information and using your own computations. EBIT $100,000.00 Cost of debts 11% cost of equity when unlevered 18% Tax rate 31% Debts $0 $10,000.00 $20,000.00 $30,000.00 Cost of Equity when levered Equity D/E Vu VL WACC b) Plot the results from the table into the following two graphs:i) Value of the firm vis-à-vis- Total debtii) Cost of capital of the firm vis-à-vis D/E ratio.iii) Which MM propositions have you demonstrated?arrow_forwardYour company has an opportunity to invest in four companies. You are trying todetermine which of these investments make sense. Your company has a 9% cost ofcapital. It will invest in these companies and receive an annual cash dividend eachyear starting one year after the investment. At the end of the term of investment, theinvestment will be scrapped with no salvage value. (a) Determine the internal rate ofreturn for each investment. Round off to the nearest integer discount rate, withdetailed calculation process. (b)Which investments would you recommend yourcompany make?arrow_forward
