Nash Inc. has an 12% required rate of return. It does not expect to initiate dividends for 15 years, at which time it will pay $3.00 per share in dividends. At that time, Nash expects its dividends to grow at 6% forever. What is an estimate of Nash's price in 15 years (P15) if its dividend at the end of year 15 is $3.00?

$53.00 We use the formula: P15 = (Div20 x (1 + g)) / r-g. Inserting our values, we get: P15 = ($3.00 x (1 + 0.06)) / (0.12 - 0.06) = $3.18 / 0.06 = $53.00.

Baldwin Co. purchases an asset for $50,000. This asset qualifies as a five-year recovery asset under MACRS, with the fixed depreciation percentages as follows: year 1 = 20.00%; year 2 = 32.00%; year 3 = 19.20%; year 4 = 11.52%. Baldwin has a tax rate of 35%. If the asset is sold at the end of four years for $5,000, what is the after-tax cash flow from disposal?

$6274.00 The four-year sale is at $50,000. To begin with, the book value of the asset must be established to determine if a gain or loss has been incurred at disposal. The depreciation schedule for the $50,000 asset is: Year 1: $50,000 × 0.2000 = $10,000 Year 2: $50,000 × 0.3200 =$16,000 Year 3: $50,000 × 0.1920 = $9,600 Year 4: $50,000 × 0.1152 = $5,760 Accumulated Depreciation = $10,000 + $16,000 + $9,600 + $5,760 = $41,360 Book Value of asset = $50,000 - $41,360 = $8,640 Loss on disposal (expressing loss as positive number) = $8,640 - $5,000 = $3,640 Tax Savings = Loss on disposal × Tax rate = $3,640 × 0.35 = $1,274 After-Tax Cash Flow at disposal = $5,000 + $1,274 = $6,274.00

A firm is estimating the total increment cash flow in the terminal year for a 3-year project. The managers estimate that the required net fixed assets for the project will have a book value of $120,000 at the end of the 3 years. The estimated salvage value of the fixed assets is $180,000. The project also requires $200,000 of net working capital, all of which will be recouped at the end of the 3 years. Management estimates that the operating cash flow will be $300,000 per year for years 1, 2, and 3. The capital gain tax rate is 30 percent. What is this project's total incremental cash flow in the terminal year (year 3)?

$662,000 Gain (loss) = Salvage value - Book value = 180,000 - 120,000 = 60,000 Taxes = 0.30×60,000 = 18,000 After-tax salvage value = 180,000 - 18,000 = 162,000 Total incremental cash flow in year 3 = 300,000+162,000+200,000 = 662,000

Craftwell Inc. pays a $0.75 dividend every quarter and will maintain this policy forever. What price should you pay for one share of common stock if you want an annual return of 10.5% on your investment?

$28.57 We use the perpetuity formula to derive the answer. When computing a perpetuity, we have to make sure that both the payment and the discount rate represent the same period. In this problem, let us use a quarter of a year (or three months) as our period. Thus, we restate the annual required rate of 10.5% as a quarterly rate of 10.5% / 4 = 2.625% (or 0.02625). Applying the constant dividend model with infinite horizon and with the quarterly rate of return and a quarterly dividend of $0.75, we get: Price = Dividend / r = P = $0.75 / 0.02625 = $28.57

A firm is considering purchasing an asset that will cost $5 million. Other depreciable costs include $800,000 in installation costs. If the asset is classified in the 5-year class, what is the annual depreciation for years 1, 3, and 6 for this asset, using the fixed depreciation percentages given by MACRS? (The percentages are 20.00%, 19.20%, and 5.76%, respectively.)

$1,160,000, $1,113,600, and $334,080 for years 1, 3, and 6, respectively The total depreciable value equals the asset cost plus installation costs. Adding these, we get $5 million plus $0.8 million = $5.8 million. The factor for year 1 is 20%. Thus, the depreciation for year 1 is: 0.2 × $5.8 million = $1,160,000. The factor for year 3 is 19.20%. Thus, the depreciation for year 3 is: 0.192 × $5.8 million = $1,113,600. The factor for year 6 is 5.76%. Thus, the depreciation for year 6 is: 0.0576 × $5.8 million = $334,080.

Builder's Warehouse, Inc has an adjusted WACC of 9.70%. The company has a capital structure consisting of 50% equity and 50% debt, a cost of equity of 13.00%, a before-tax cost of debt of 8.00%, and a tax rate of 20%. Builder's Warehouse is considering expanding by building a new outlet in a distant city and considers the project to be riskier than current operations. The firm estimates the existing beta to be 1.0, the required return on the market portfolio to be 12.00%, the risk-free rate to be 3.00%, and the beta for the new project to be 1.25. Given this information, and assuming the cost of debt will not change if the firm undertakes the new project, what adjusted WACC should be used in the decision-making?

Fat Tire Bicycle Company currently sells 40,000 bicycles per year. The current bike is a standard balloon tire bike, selling for $90 with a production and shipping cost of $35. The company is thinking of introducing an off-road bike with a projected selling price of $410 and a production and shipping cost of $360. The projected annual sales for the off-road bike are 12,000. The company will lose sales in fat-tire bikes of 8,000 units per year if it introduces the new bike, however. What is the erosion cost from the new bike? Should Fat Tire start producing the off-road bike?

Erosion Cost = ($90 - $35) × 8,000 = $440,000 Net Annual Cash Flow with standard bike: ($90 - $35) × 40,000 = $2,200,000 Net Annual Cash Flow with standard and off-road bikes: ($90 - $35) × (40,000 - 8,000) = $1,760,000 ($410 - $360) × 12,000 = $600,000 Net Annual CF = $1,760,000 + $600,000 = $2,360,000 Increase of $160,000 per year so add new off-road bike to production.

Consider the following four-year project. The initial after-tax outlay or after-tax cost is $1,000,000. The future after-tax cash inflows for years 1, 2, 3 and 4 are: $400,000, $300,000, $200,000 and $200,000, respectively. What is the payback period without discounting cash flows?

3.5 years We can see that after three years, we will have paid back $900,000. Thus, we only need $100,000 in after-tax cash flows in the 4th year. Because we get $200,000 in the fourth year, the rule of thumb is to divide what is needed by what cash inflows we will get next period and add the results to the number of previous periods of cash inflows, e.g., ($100,000 divided by $200,000) + 3 which gives 3.500. Thus, the payback period is 3.5 years.

Revolution Records will build a new recording studio on a vacant lot next to the operations center. The land was purchased five years ago for $450,000. Today the value of the land has appreciated to $780,000. Revolutionary Records did not consider the value of the land (it had already spent the money to acquire the land long before this project was considered). The NPV of the recording studio was $600,000. Should Revolution Records consider the land as part of the cash flow of the recording studio? If yes, what value should be used, $450,000 or $780,000? How will the value affect the project?

The land needs to be included as part of the cash flow for the studio project because there is an opportunity cost here. If Revolution Records does not want to keep the land it can sell it for $780,000. So this current market value of $780,000 is the opportunity cost that the studio must cover. If the NPV without considering this cost is $600,000 for the studio then Revolution Records should just sell the land and have $780,000 as cash income (unless there are taxes that would reduce the net cash flow below $600,000).
