A new restaurant is ready to open for business. It is estimated that the food cost (variable cost) will be 38.75% of sales, while the fixed cost will be $450,000. The first year's sales estimates are $1,067,821. Calculate the firm's operating breakeven level of sales.

Operating breakeven level of sales = Fixed costs / ( 1 - Variable cost ratio ) = =450,000 / (1-38.75%) =734693.88

A new restaurant is ready to open for business. It is estimated that the food cost (variable cost) will be 40% of sales, while the fixed cost will be $441,559. The first year's sales estimates are $1,250,000. Calculate the firm's degree of operating leverage (DOL).

DOL = Sales-Variable cost/(Sales-variable cost-fixed cost) We are given the following details Sales = $ 1,250,000 Variable Cost = 40% of sales = 40%*$1,250,000 Variable cost =$500,000 Fixed cost = $ 441,559 Putting these values in the above formula DOL = Sales-Variable cost/(Sales-variable cost-fixed cost) DOL = (1,250,000 - 500,000 ) / ( 1,250,000 - 500,000 - 441,559) DOL = 2.43

Lipscomb Technologies' annual sales are $5,830,127 and all sales are made on credit, it purchases $3,587,171 of materials each year (and this is its cost of goods sold). Lipscomb also has $500,998 of inventory, $548,292 of accounts receivable, and $469,136 of accounts payable. Assume a 365 day year. What is Lipscomb's Operating Cycle (in days)?

Days in inventory=(Inventory/COGS)*365 =(500,998/3,587,171)*365 =50.9772938 days Days in AR=(AR/Sales)*365 =(548,292/5,830,127)*365 =34.3262814 days Operating cycle=Days in inventory+Days in AR =50.9772938 days+34.3262814 days= 85.30 days

What types of projects does the BNSF strategic studies team evaluate?

Discretionary

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?

FV= 0 PV= -10,000 PMT= 2,000 N= 6 Compute IRR= 5.47

NPV assumes intermediate cash flows are reinvested at the cost of equity, while IRR assumes that they are reinvested at the cost of capital

False

According to the article, "Sunk cost fallacy: Throwing good money after bad," how can banks limit losses from bad loans?

Increase bank executive turnover

_________ Results from the use of fixed-cost assets or funds to magnify returns to a firms owners

Leverage

In theory, a firm should maintain financial leverage consistent with a capital structure that

Maximize the owners wealth

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

A company just paid $10 million for a feasibility study. If the company goes ahead with the project, it must immediately spend another $78,173,236 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 NPV?

NPV= -78,173,236 - (20,000,000/(1 + 0.11)^1) + (80,000,000/(1 + 0.11)^2) + (90,000,000/(1 + 0.11)^3) NPV= 34,545,764.9

The " gold standard" of investment criteria refers to:

Net present value

Capital rationing may be beneficial to a firm if it

Weeds out proposals with weaker or biased NPVs

The primary purpose of capital budgeting is to

maximize shareholders wealth

What is the amount of the operating cash flow for a firm with $334,901 profit before tax, $100,000 depreciation expense, and a 35% marginal tax rate?

Carlisle Transport had $4,605 cash at the beginning of the period. During the period, the firm collected $1,622 in receivables, paid $2,006 to the supplier, had credit sales of $5,441, and incurred cash expenses of $500. What was the cash balance at the end of the period?

Cash+Receivables-suppliers-expenses =4,605+1622-2006-500 =3721

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.

Present value of inflows =cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor =80/1.11^2+90/1.11^3 =$130.737million Present value of outflows= $100+20/1.11 =$118.018million. Hence NPV= Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows =$130.737million-$118.018million =$12.72 million 100+20/1.0x=80/1.0x^2+90/1.0x^3 Hence x=IRR=15.945%

Gilstrap Promotions has projected the following values for the next three months: January February March Sales $352,000 $379,000 $413,249 Purchases on trade credit $218,000 $240,000 $260,000 Cash expenses $88,000 $91,000 $94,000 Taxes, interest, and dividends $18,000 $20,000 $41,000 Capital Expenditures $50,000 0 $25,000 All sales are credit sales with 40% collected in the month of sale, 50% collected the following month, and the remainder collected in the second month after the sale. Credit purchases are paid in 30 days and all other items require immediate payment. Compute the net cash inflow for March.

Cash Receipts Cash Sales (40% March sales) ($413,249*40%) =$165,299.6 Credit sales (50% February sales) ($379,000*50%) =$189500 Credit sales (10% January sales) (352,000*10%) =$35200 Total cash receipts =$389,999.6 Cash payment Credit purchase (February purchase) =$240000 Cash expenses = $94000 Taxes, interest, and dividends =$41000 Capital Expenditure =$25000 Total Cash payment =$400,000 Net cash inflow for March =389,999.6-400,000 =-10,000.4

Compute the payback period for a project that requires an initial outlay of $153,425 that is expected to generate $40,000 per year for 9 years.

Cash outflow = $153,425 Cash inflow = $40,000 . At the end of 3 years the cash inflow will be 40,000*3= $120,000 Remaining amount 153,425 - 120,000= $33,425 Years = 33,425/40,000 = 0.84 Therefore payback period = 3 + 0.84 = 3.84 years.

Lipscomb Technologies' annual sales are $6,907,636 and all sales are made on credit, it purchases $3,235,864 of materials each year (and this is its cost of goods sold). Lipscomb also has $583,323 of inventory, $1,475,000 of accounts receivable, and $1,400,000 of accounts payable. Assume a 365 day year. What is Lipscomb's Receivables Period (in days)?

Receivables period=(Average AR/Sales)*365 =(1,475,000/6,907,636)* 365 = 77.94 days

Lipscomb Technologies' annual sales are $5,965,853 and all sales are made on credit, it purchases $3,030,231 of materials each year (and this is its cost of goods sold). Lipscomb also has $522,489 of inventory, $491,684 of accounts receivable, and $471,694 of accounts payable. Assume a 365 day year. What is Lipscomb's Receivables Turnover?

Mavericks Cosmetics buys $4,100,531 of the 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?

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%

Net present value (NPV) is a sophisticated capital budgeting technique; found by adding a project's initial investment from the present value of its cash inflows discounted at a rate equal to the firm's cost of capital.

False

If a 20% reduction in forecast sales would not extinguish a project's profitability, then sensitivity analysis would suggest:

Deemphasizing that variable as a critical factor

Revenues generated by a new fad product are forecast as follows: Year Revenues 1 $36,148 2 $40,000 3 $20,000 4 $10,000 Thereafter 0 Expenses are expected to be 50% of revenues, and working capital required in each year is expected to be 20% of revenues in the following year. The product requires an immediate investment of $40,000 in plant and equipment that will be depreciated using the straight-line method over 5 years. The firm recently spent $2,000 on a study to estimate the revenues of the new product. The tax rate is 20%. What is the operating cash flow in year 1?

Depreciation= $40,000/5 = $8,000 Calculation of operating cash for year 1 OCF = Revenue-Cost-Depreciation × (1 - tax)+depreciation OCF = $36,148 - ($36,148 × 50%) - $8,000 × ( 1- 0.20) + $8,000 OCF = $10,074 × 0.80 + $8,000 = 16,059

Lipscomb Technologies' annual sales are $5,082,355 and all sales are made on credit, it purchases $4,313,408 of materials each year (and this is its cost of goods sold). Lipscomb also has $508,477 of inventory, $521,672 of accounts receivable, and $411,552 of accounts payable. Assume a 365 day year. What is Lipscomb's Inventory Period (in days)?

Inventory period = inventory/cost of goods sold *365 days Where Inventory=$508,477 Cost of goods sold=$4,313,408 Inventory period= $508,477/4,313,408*365 Inventory period= 43.03 days

Lipscomb Technologies' annual sales are $5,094,573 and all sales are made on credit, it purchases $3,143,365 of materials each year (and this is its cost of goods sold). Lipscomb also has $564,426 of inventory, $531,876 of accounts receivable, and $440,467 of accounts payable. Assume a 365 day year. What is Lipscomb's Inventory Turnover?

Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold /inventory Where: Cost of goods sold= $3,143,365 Inventory=$564,426 Inventory turnover = $3,143,365/564,426 =5.57 times

Mahrouq Technologies buys $16,115,771 of materials (net of discounts) on terms of 7/30, 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.

Total period = 60 days Discount period = 30 days Discount = 7% Assume 365 days in a year Nominal cost of credit = [ Discount% / (1 - Discount%) ] * [ 365 / (Total period - Discount period)] = [ 0.07 / (1 - 0.07)] * [ 365 / (60 - 30)] = [ 0.07 / 0.93] * [ 365 / 30] = 0.0752688172 * 12.1666666666 Nominal cost of credit =91.57%
