What is the amount of the operating cash flow for a firm with $313,675 profit before tax, $100,000 depreciation expense, and a 35% marginal tax rate

OCF = (313675 x (1-.35)) + 100000 =303888.75

tax shield approach

OCF = (Sales - Costs)(1 - T) + Depreciation*T

Your firm has a potential project that will cost $5,000 now to begin. The project will then generate after-tax cash flows of $900 at the end of the next three years and then $1400 per year for the three years after that. If the discount rate is 8% then what is the PI?

PI= (NPV+CF0)/CF0 = (183.48+5000)/5000 =1.0367

What is the internal rate of return for a project with an initial outlay of $10,000 that is expected to generate cash flows of $2,000 per year for 6 years?

What is the net effect on a firm's working capital if a new project requires: $45,808 increase in inventory, $40,466 increase in accounts receivable, $35,000.00 increase in machinery, and a $46,003 increase in accounts payable? Round to nearest dollar amount.

Increase in Inventory: 45808 Increase in A/R: 40466 Increase in A/P: 46003 45808+40466-46003 =40271

The multiple IRR problem occurs when the signs of a project's cash flows change more than once. T/F

True

Projects that compete with one another so that the acceptance of one eliminates from further consideration all other projects that serve a similar function.

mutually exclusive

financial leverage means

high returns but also higher risks

mutually exclusive projects are

if the firm may only accept one project from a particular menu of options and must reject all other alternatives

What types of analyses do the BNSF strategic studies team conduct?

- discounted cash flow - sensitivity

advantages of NPV

- gives clear accept/reject decision - uses all cash flows - adjusts for risk (with discount rate) - adjusts for TVM

Identify which of these are the relevant cash flows when considering a capital budgeting project.

- lost rent from the retail facility - remodeling expenses for new store - increase in inventory - expected salvage value of manufacturing equipment

what are the advantages of payback period?

- measures liquidity, easy to communicate - does not require complex calculations - does not require discount rate

IRR Decision Rule

Accept the project if the IRR is greater than the discount rate reject if the IRR is less than the discount rate

You purchase a truck for $30,000 and depreciate it with the straight-line method to $10,000 book value after three years. If you actually sell of after the third year for $12,000 in salvage value then what is the after-tax salvage value? The tax rate is 20%.

After-tax salvage value = salvage value-T(salvage value - book value) = 12000-.2(12000-10000) = 12000-(.2)(2000) = 12000-400 = $11,600. The firm would end up paying tax of $400 on the salvage value of $12,000, so the after-tax salvage value would be $11,600.

Example: Your firm has a potential project that will cost $5,000 now to begin. The project will then generate after-tax cash flows of $900 at the end of the next three years and then $1400 per year for the three years after that. If the discount rate is 8% then what is the NPV? Should the firm accept or reject the project?

You are considering two mutually exclusive projects, A and B. Project A costs $700 and generates cash flows of $400 for 3 years. Project B costs $700 and generates cash flows of $100, $400, and $800 for the next three years. What is the IRR for each project? Which project has a higher NPV?

Project A: CF0=-700 CO1=400 CO2=400 CO3=400 IRR= 32.68% Project B: CF0=-700 CO1=100 CO2=400 CO3=800 IRR= 28.28% DIfference: CF0=0 CO1=300 CO2=0 CO3=-400 IRR=15.47%

Which of the following statements is correct? - The degree of operating leverage (DOL) depends on a company's fixed costs, variable costs, and sales. The DOL formula assumes (1) that fixed costs are constant and (2) that variable costs are a constant proportion of sales. - The degree of total leverage (DTL) is equal to the DOL plus the degree of financial leverage (DFL). - Arithmetically, financial leverage and operating leverage offset one another so as to keep the degree of total leverage constant. Therefore, the formula shows that the greater the degree of financial leverage, the smaller the degree of operating leverage. - For a given change in sales, the corresponding percentage change in net income could be more or less than the percentage change in operating income. - The degree of total leverage (DTL) is equal to the DFL divided by the degree of operating leverage (DOL).

The degree of operating leverage (DOL) depends on a company's fixed costs, variable costs, and sales. The DOL formula assumes (1) that fixed costs are constant and (2) that variable costs are a constant proportion of sales.

Libscomb Technologies' annual sales are $6,922,215 and all sales are made on credit, it purchases $3,313,432 of materials each year (and this is its cost of goods sold). Libscomb also has $581,092 of inventory, $547,364 of accounts receivable, and $469,836 of accounts payable. Assume a 365 day year.

inventory turnover= cost of goods sold "material"/inventory step 1 find inventory TO = COGS/inventory = 3313432/581092 = 5.702078 step 2 = 365/inventory period = 365/5.702078 =64.01

The degree of operating leverage has which of the following characteristics?

the DOL relates the change in sales to the change in net operating income

if the discount rate is greater than the IRR, the NPV will be

less than zero

generally, increases in leverage result in ___ return and ___ risk

increased; increased

Which of the following statements is correct for a project with a negative NPV?

disadvantages of NPV

- requires complex calculations - requires a lot of data (estimates all CF's and r) - dollar value is not always intuitive

advantages of IRR

-More intuitive than NPV -Gives a clear accept/reject decision for independent projects -Uses all Cash flows -Does not require a discount rate (for calculation) -Adjusts for TVM and therefore risk (in comparing to hurdle rate that adjusts for risk)

The disadvantages of the IRR period method is that it

-Requires complex calculations -Only works for normal cash flows -Requires a lot of data (estimates of all CFs)

disadvantages of IRR

-Requires complex calculations -Requires a lot of data (estimates of all CFs) -Only works for normal cash flows -Requires discount rate (for decision) -Does not always work for mutually exclusive projects

Jon Stevens, BNSF Vice President and Controller describes the capital spending process primarily as

-a means to ensure regulatory compliance -a balancing act that requires careful evaluation of the costs and benefits of each project

the capital budgeting process is (5 steps)

1) proposal generation 2) review and analysis 3) decision making 4) implementation 5) follow up

Your firm currently produces stand-alone GPS trackers and communicators. You forecast that you will sell $150,000 of Mp3 players next year. However, your firm has plans to start producing smartphone-compatible GPS communicator devices as well. If you produce the smartphone devices then your projected sales will be $110,000 for stand-alone GPS devices and $70,000 for smartphone devices. Because the smartphone device includes a GPS communicator, you expect that some customers will not buy the stand-alone device if they also buy the smartphone device. What is the total increase in sales that you should consider for this project? What is the side effect for existing sales that should be considered?

Accepting the project will lead to total sales of $110,000+$70,000=$180,000 compared to only $150,000. Therefore the incremental sales are $30,000. The side effect is that stand-alone device sales will decrease from $150,000 to $110,000. The side-effect represents a decrease in sales of $40,000 for the existing product.

Maverick Technologies has sales of $3,000,000. The company's fixed operating costs total $500,000 and its variable costs equal 60% of sales, so the company's current operating income is $700,000. The company's interest expense is $495,677. What is the company's degree of financial leverage (DFL)? Answer to 2 decimal places.

DFL=EBIT/(EBIT-Interest expense) Step 1: Find EBIT which is your "operating income" or sales-variable costs-operating costs. Operating income was given as: 700,000 so that is EBIT Step 3: DFL=700,000/(700,000-495677) =700,000/204323 = 3.43 Two decimal places

A new restaurant is ready to open for business. It is estimated that the food cost (variable cost) will be 40% of sales, while fixed cost will be $423,269. The first year's sales estimates are $1,250,000. Calculate the firm's degree of operating leverage (DOL). Answer to 2 decimal places.

DOL=(sales-variable costs)/(sales-variable costs -fixed costs) Step 1: Find variable costs: (40%)(1,250,000 sales estimate) =500,000 Step 2: (1,250,000-500,000)/(1,250,000-500,000-423269) =750,000/326713 = 2.295592768 = 2.30

Maverick Technologies has sales of $3,000,000. The company's fixed operating costs total $512,427 and its variable costs equal 60% of sales. The company's interest expense is $500,000. What is the company's degree of total leverage (DTL)? Answer to 2 decimal places.

DTL=(sales-variable costs)/(sales-variable costs-fixed costs-interest expense) Step 1: Find Variable Costs =(3,000,000)(60%) =1,800,000 Step 3: (3,000,000-1,800,000)/(3,000,000-1,800,000-512,427-500,000) =1,200,000/187573 = 6.397509236 = 6.40

You purchase a truck for $30,000 and depreciate it using the 3-year MACRS percentages. If you actually sell of after the third year for $12,000 in salvage value then what is the after-tax salvage value? The tax rate is 20%.

Depreciation expense for year i = (initial cost)(MACRS percentage for year i) Depreciation expense for year 1 = (30000)(0.3333) = $9,999 Depreciation expense for year 2 = (30000)(0.4444) = $13,332 Depreciation expense for year 3 = (30000)(0.1482) = $4,446 Accumulated depreciation = 9,999 + 13,332 + 4,446 = 27,777. Book value = initial cost - accumulated depreciation = 30,000 - 27,777 = $2,223 After-tax salvage value = salvage value-T(salvage value - book value) = 12000-.2(12000-2223) = 12000-(.2)(9777) = 12000-1955 = $10,045. The firm would end up paying taxes of $400 on the salvage value of $12,000, so the after-tax salvage value would be $11,600.

You purchase a fixed asset for $30,000. What is the depreciation expense in the first year, using the 3-year MACRS method? What is the depreciation tax shield in the first year if the tax rate is 20%?

Depreciation expense for year i = (initial cost)(MACRS percentage for year i) Depreciation expense for year 1 = (30000)(0.3333) = $9,999 (The MACRS percentages are rounded to 4 decimal places. The depreciation expense would actually be $10,000) Depreciation tax shield = T(depreciation expense) = .2(9,999) = $1,999.

A new restaurant is ready to open for business. It is estimated that the food cost (variable cost) will be 37.19% of sales, while fixed cost will be $450,000. The first year's sales estimates are $1,298,279. Calculate the firm's operating breakeven level of sales. Answer to 2 decimal places.

Step 1: 1298279(37.19%) = 482829.9601 Step 2: sales-variable 1298279-482829.9601 = 815449.0399 contribution margin Step 3: contribution margin/sales = 815449.0399/1298279 = 0.6281 Step 4: fixed costs/number in step 3 =450,000/0.6281= $716446.4257 one decimal place

Mavericks Cosmetics buys $4,100,531 of product (net of discounts) on terms of 6/10, net 60, and it currently pays on the 10th day and takes discounts. Mavericks plans to expand, and this will require additional financing. If Mavericks decides to forego discounts, what would the effective percentage cost of its trade credit be, based on a 365-day year? Answer in % terms to 2 decimal places.

The firm pays on the 10th day. Effective cost of trade credit = [(1+(Discount rate/(1-Discount rate)))^(Total days/(Net days-Discount days)) -1] Effective cost of trade credit = [(1+(6%/(1-6%)))^(365/10) -1] Effective cost of trade credit = 856.83%

Twelve years ago your company paid $30,000 for a new truck. Last year the company paid $4,000 to repair the truck's engine. The truck has a book value of $15,000 and could probably be sold for that much. If used for the firm's next project, the truck will be used until it is worth nothing at all, and its book value will be depreciated to zero. What is the relevant cost of using the truck for the firm's next project?

The original price of $30,000 is not relevant. The $4,000 for the new engine is a sunk cost and can also be ignored. The $15,000 represents the opportunity cost of using the truck and should be considered as a relevant CF. Therefore, the relevant cost is $15,000.

Grill Master Johnnys is thinking about purchasing a new, energy-efficient grill. The grill will cost $53,000.00 and will be depreciated according to the 3-year MACRS schedule. It will be sold for scrap metal after 3 years for $11,750.00. The grill will have no effect on revenues but will save Johnny's $23,500.00 per year in energy expenses. The tax rate is 40%.

NPV method of capital budgeting is based on the rule that

a project should be accepted if its NPV is positive - independent projects if projects are mutually exclusive, then the rule is to accept the project with the highest NPV

opportunity costs reflect

alternative projects and do represent incremental cash flows

the profitability index is

an alternative way to express the NPV for a project Instead of computing NPV as the cost of a project minus the present value of the cash inflows, the PI just takes a ratio of benefits to costs

sunk costs refer to

any cash flows that have already been incurred or that will still be incurred even if a project is rejected

a project is a term for

any long term activity that a firm does that requires a cost and generates cash flows

You purchase a fixed asset for $30,000 and it will be depreciated to a book value of $10,000 after three years. What is the depreciation expense in the first year? What is the depreciation tax shield in the first year if the tax rate is 20%?

depreciation expense= (initial cost- salvage value)/number of years =(30000-10000)/3 =6666.67 Depreciation tax shield= T(depreciation expense)) =.2(6666.67) =1333.33

Libscomb Technologies' annual sales are $6,095,035 and all sales are made on credit, it purchases $4,203,300 of materials each year (and this is its cost of goods sold). Libscomb also has $538,650 of inventory, $1,475,000 of accounts receivable, and $1,400,000 of accounts payable. Assume a 365 day year. What is Libscomb's Receivables Period (in days)?

receivables period =365/receivables TO step 1 =sales/AR = 6095035/1475000 = 4.132227 step 2 = 365/ receivables TO = 365/4.132227 =88.33

IS formula

revenue -expenses ---- EBT (income ignore interest exp for now) -tax (assume flat tax) ---- NI +depreciation ----- OCF or operating cash flow each period

Your firm forecasts revenues of $80,000 next period and $50,000 in expenses. Depreciation expense is estimated to be $15,000 and the tax rate will be 20%. What are the forecasts for Net Income and Operating Cash Flow? There is no interest expense.

revenue= 80000 CGS= -50000 Depreciation= -15000 EBT= 15000 Tax @ 20%= -3000 NI= 12000 Depreciation= 15000 OCF= 15000 Net income is forecasted to be $12000 OCF is forecasted at $27000

Mahrouq Technologies buys $16,069,272 of materials (net of discounts) on terms of 4/30, net 60, and it currently pays within 30 days and takes discounts. Mahrouq plans to expand, and this will require additional financing. If Mahrouq decides to forego discounts and thus to obtain additional credit from its suppliers, calculate the nominal cost of that credit. Answer in % terms to 2 decimal places (no % sign).

total period = 60 days discount period = 30 days discount = 4% Assume 365 days in a yearNominal cost of credit= [ Discount% / (1 - Discount%) ] * [ 365 / (Total period - Discount period)] = [ 0.04 / (1 - 0.04)] [ 365 / (60 - 30)] = [ 0.04 / 0.96] [ 365 / 30] = 5.069444 Nominal cost of credit = 50.69 WRONG ???

Capital rationing may be beneficial to a firm if it:

weeds out proposals with weaker or biased NPVs

A company just paid $10 million for a feasibility study. If the company goes ahead with the project, it must immediately spend another $100 million now, and then spend $20 million in one year. In two years it will receive $80 million, and in three years it will receive $90 million. If the cost of capital for the project is 11 percent, what is the project's IRR? % terms to 2 decimal places and without the % sign.

year 1 CF= -100000000 year 2 CF= -20000000 year 3 CF= 80000000 year 4 CF= 90000000 present value @ 11% year 1= -100000000 year 2= 18018018.02 year 3= 64929794.66 year 4= 65807224.32 NPV= 12719000.96 IRR= 15.95%
