Susan Jones has a job as a pharmacist earning $45,000 per year, and she is deciding whether to take another job as the manager of another pharmacy for $55,000 per year or to purchase a pharmacy that generates revenue of $350,000 per year. To purchase the pharmacy, Susan would have to use her $20,000 savings and borrow another $90,000 at an interest rate of 8% per year.
The pharmacy that Susan is contemplating purchasing has additional expenses of $100,000 for prescription and non-prescription drugs and lines of women’s and men’s personal hygiene products and cosmetics; $45,000 for one full time person; $20,000 for one part time person; $12,000 for rent; $2,500 for electricity; $1,300 for natural gas; $1,200 for telecommunications; and depreciation and amortization expenses are $5,500.
Assume that income and business taxes are 35% and the repayment of the principal of the loan does not start before three years. Also assume that revenue is expected to grow at 5% per year and expenses at…
Globo-Chem Co. is expected to generate a free cash flow (FCF) of $8,385.00 million this year (FCF, =
$8,385.00 million), and the FCF is expected to grow at a rate of 26.20% over the following two years
(FCF2 and FCF3). After the third year, however, the FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.26%
per year, which will last forever (FCFA). Assume the firm has no nonoperating assets. If Globo-Chem Co's
W weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 12.78%, what is the current total firm value of Globo-Chem
Co.? (Note: Round all intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)

Liam O’Kelly is 20 years old and is thinking about buying a term life insurance policy with his wife as the beneficiary. The quoted annual premium for Liam is $8.48 per thousand dollars of insurance coverage. Because Liam wants a $100,000 policy (which is 2.5 times his annual salary), the annual premium would be $848, with the first payment due immediately (i.e., at age 21). A friend of Liam’s suggests that the $848 annual premium should be deposited in a good mutual fund rather than in the insurance policy. “If the mutual fund earns 10% per year, you can become a millionaire by the time you retire at age 65,” the friend advises. Solve, a. Is the friend’s statement really true? b. Discuss the trade-off that Liam is making if he decides to invest his money in a mutual fund.

They have recently graduated from culinary school and are making a starting salary of $15.00 as a sous-chef. They both work 10 hour days, six days a week. Because they are chefs at a mid- level restaurant they live in the downtown core where it is located. The rent on their one bedroom apartment is $1125/month. This includes all utilities. However, they pay an additional $75 for cable and internet. Their joint cell phone bill is $60.00 and they opt not to have a landline to save money. Because they live downtown they have also chosen not to buy a car and spend about $200 a month on public transportation. They eat most meals for free at the restaurant where they work so their grocer bill is only about $200 a month.

- John has just graduated from State University. He owes $35,000 in college loans, but he does not have a job yet. The college loan company has agreed to give John a break on a deferred-payment plan that works as follows. John will not have to repay his loan for five years. During this “grace period” the loan obligation will compound at 4% per year. For the next five years, a monthly payment will be required, and the interest rate will be 0.5% per month. What will be John’s monthly payment over the 60-month repayment period?arrow_forwardYou are considering getting a Little Nero Caesar Salad Franchise, because your boss (the owner of a Down Under Sandwich Shoppe) seems to be making it big. The Down Under Shoppe grosses an average of $380,000 sales annually. You estimate that your business will gross an average of 95% of Down Under’s sales. You must borrow $320,000 from the bank. The bank will charge you 12% per annum interest on this loan. You also will invest $50,000 of your savings in the business (thus you will no longer receive the 4% per annum interest from this). NOTE: neither the bank loan principal nor the $50,000 of your savings you invest is an explicit or implicit cost. However, the interest paid on the bank loan is explicit and the interest foregone on your savings is implicit. Other estimated explicit expenses are: labor $130,000 per year; rent $12,000 a year; utilities $4,000 a year; and salad ingredients $140,000 a year.

I could take my winnings in installments of 2 million dollars a year for four years or a lump sum of fewer than 8 million dollars. If I take the installments, my first installment would come the day I claimed my winnings at the state lottery office. Assume that the interest rate is 7% per year and that there are no taxes on the winnings. Calculate what the lump sum should be so that it would exactly equal the present value of the stream of the future stream of installments from the lottery. You must show and explain your work to be given credit for this assignment. What would your answer change be if the first installment in the question above did not come until one year after I claimed my winnings. You must show and explain your work to be given credit for this assignment. Just three or four sentences for each question. However, I do need to see your work.arrow_forward
