(a) Calculate the arithmetic average return for X. (14+32+21-22+23)/5=13.60% (b) Calculate the arithmetic average return for Y. (21+42-7-21+50)/5 =17.00% (a) Calculate the variance for X.

(Do not round intermediate calculations.) 20.91% (b) Calculate the standard deviation for Y. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 30.62% The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so the standard deviation of each stock is: σX = (0.043730)1/2 = 0.2091 or 20.91% σY = (0.093750)1/2 = 0.3062 or 30.62%

5) Champion Bakers uses specialized ovens to bake its bread. One oven costs $840,000 and lasts about 3 years before it needs to be replaced. The annual operating cost per oven is $10,000. What is the equivalent annual cost of an oven if the required rate of return is 8 percent? (Round your answer to whole dollars)

1) NPV = - 840,000 - 10,000 ( ( 1- 1/1.08^3)/.08) = -865,770.97 2) Equivalent annual cost EAC = Net present value of cash flow /Present value factor annuity 3 years,8% EAC = -865,770.97/ ( ( 1- 1/1.08^3)/.08) = -865,770.97 / 2.5771 EAC = - $335,948

Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $397,800.

13) Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $772,800 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It will be worth $69,000 at the end of that time. You will save $303,600 before taxes per year in order processing costs and you will be able to reduce working capital by $70,270 (this is a one-time reduction). Required : If the tax rate is 30%, what is the IRR for this project? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

Annual depreciation charge = $772,800/5 Annual depreciation charge = $154,560 Aftertax salvage value = $69,000(1 - 0.3) Aftertax salvage value = $48,300 Using the tax shield approach, the OCF is: OCF = $303,600(1 - 0.3) + 0.3($154,560) OCF = 212,520+ 46,368= $258,888 Now we can find the project IRR. There is an unusual feature that is a part of this project. Accepting this project means that we will reduce NWC. This reduction in NWC is a cash inflow at Year 0. This reduction in NWC implies that when the project ends, we will have to increase NWC. So, at the end of the project, we will have a cash outflow to restore the NWC to its level before the project. We also must include the aftertax salvage value at the end of the project. The IRR of the project is: NPV = 0 = -$772,800 + 70,270 + $258,888(PVIFAIRR%,5) + [($48,300 - 70,270) / (1+IRR)5] IRR = 24.05%

You own some equipment that you purchased 4 years ago at a cost of $216,000. The equipment is 5-year property for MACRS. You are considering selling the equipment today for $75,500. Which one of the following statements is correct if your tax rate is 35 percent?

Rate from yr 1-yr4 : 0.20 + 0.32 + 0.192 + 0.1152 Accumulated depreciation yr4 = $216,000 × (0.20 + 0.32 + 0.192 + 0.1152) = $178,675.20 Book Value4 = $216,000 - $178,675.20 = $37,324.80 Taxable gain on sale = $75,500 - $37,324.80 = $38,175.20 Tax due = $38,175.20 × 0.35 = $13,361.32 Aftertax salvage value = $75,500 - $13,361.32 = $62,138.68

2) A proposed new project has projected sales of $183,600, costs of $92,880, and depreciation of $6,480. The tax rate is 32 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches.

Sales $183,600.00 Cost $92,880.00 Depreciation $6,480.00 EBIT: $84,240.00 Tax 32% $26,956.80 Net Income: $57,283.20 a.The common calculation Approach OCF= EBIT + Depr-Tax = 84,240+6,480-26,956.80= 63,763.20 b. Bottom-Up Approach OCF= NI + Depre = 57,283.20+6480=63,763.20 c.Top-Down Approach OCF= sales- cost - taxes = 183,600-92,880-26,956.80 =63,763.20 d. The tax-shield approach is: OCF = (Sales - Costs)(1 - tC) + tCDepreciation OCF = ($183,600 - 92,880)(1 - 0.32) + 0.32(6,480) OCF = $63,763.20 e. And the bottom-up approach is: OCF = Net income + Depreciation OCF = $57,283.20 + 6,480 OCF = $63,763.20
