You may use a number of sources, but we recommend Morningstar. Find the YTM of one 15 or 20 year bond with the highest possible creditworthiness. You may assume that new bonds issued by AirJet Best Parts, Inc. are of similar risk and will require the same return. (5 pts) b. What is the after-tax cost of debt if the tax rate is 34%?
Note that the actual state rate is reduced by 25% to allow for the deductibility of state income taxes on the federal income tax return. Thus, she should choose the corporate bond. When the state rate is 10%, Dana would achieve the following returns from the Treasury bond or the corporate bond: The Treasury bond would still yield $1,125 or $30,000 x [.05 x (1-.25)] after tax because state rates don’t affect after- tax returns from Treasury bonds. The corporate bond yields $1,215 or $30,000 x [.06 x (1 - .25 - .10(1-.25))] after tax. Again, note that the actual state rate is reduced by 25% to allow for the deductibility of state income taxes on the federal income tax return.
• Net Carrying value of nonrecourse debt is $4.0 million. • $0.1 million of net working capital (carried at fair value) directly attributed to the cruise ship. • Discount rate According to Smooth Sailing is 7%. How should Smooth Sailings’ management perform the recoverability test for the cruise ship as of December 31, 2010? Before we can define the asset group for the purpose of the recoverability test we need to recognize and measure the impairment of our long-lived asset and to do so there is some guidance according to FASB.
Defend your choice. At that time, Boeing’s major competitor Airbus also has a big project – Airbus 380 program which has a seating capacity between 525 and 853. This is a big threaten to Boeing. Meanwhile, Boeing wants to achieve several goals with innovation approach which are reduce cost, development time, and unique characters (fuel-saving, less time needed for maintenance, new technology). Boeing want to change the rules of the way large passenger aircraft were developed through its Dreamliner program.
The first thing the airline must do is look at the firm supply. If they are to continue the flights from those two hubs then they must determine if at some point in the long run the firm must be profitable or should exit the market. (Brickley et al., 2009, p. 181) Since I would assume that the costs of that route would be quite high it would appear that it would be extremely difficult for them to make a profit especially since there are lower cost airlines that customers could do business with. A competitive firm should produce
Before becoming captains, pilots must earn sufficient fly hours. However, flying schools do not have enough instructors to train enough new pilots. In response, the airline industries face increase labor costs as they raise pilot salaries in order to attract pilots. (3) Post 9/11 Aviation Security: after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (PDF), which created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and mandated that federal employees be in charge of airport security screening Jet Blue was a discount airline carrier. It offered passenger law fares; operated point to point system.
J. Chapter 10 Required 1. Select the cash flow from operating activities for the five most recent years. 2. Comment on the trend in cash flow from operating activities.
Investment Analysis and Lockheed Tri Star The debate over the viability of the program centered on estimated “break-even sales” the number of jets that would need to be sold for total revenue to cover all accumulated costs. Lockheed’s CEO, in his July 1971 testimony before Congress, asserted that this break-even point would be reached at sales somewhere between 195 and 205 aircraft. At this point, Lockheed had secured only 103 firm orders plus 75 options-to-buy, but they testified that sales would eventually exceed the break-even point and that the project would thus become “a commercially viable endeavor.” Costs The preproduction phases of the Tri Star project began at the end of 1967 and lasted four years, after running about six months behind schedule. Various estimates of the up-front costs ranged between $800 million and $1 billion. A reasonable approximation of these cash outflows would be $900 million, occurring as follows: End of Year 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 Time “Index” t=0 t=1 t=2 t=3 t=4 Cash Flow ($mm) -$100 -$200 -$200 -$200 -$200 According to Lockheed testimony, the production phase was to run from the end of 1971 to the end of 1977, with about 210 Tri Stars as the planned output.
The payback period is the number of years needed to recover the initial cash outlay of the capital budgeting project (Keown, Martin, Petty, & Scott, 2005, p. 292). By calculating this out it will give Caledonia key information as to which project will payout the quickest. This information is important because the investors are going to want the quickest return on their investment and this shows how many years it will take to get this return and which project will yield first. In order to calculate the payback period we use the following formula: For Caledonia we use: Project A: = 3.125 Years Project B: = 4.5 Years By looking at the above calculations we can see that project A will have a quicker payback period at 3.125 years while project B has a payback period of 4.5 years. It is easy to see that project A would be the best decision as it will have the ability to recoup the initial investment quicker than Project B.
Using the estimate of 4.5 million gallons per month, how would you construct a futures hedge for the next 12 months? How would you construct a commodity-swap hedge? In order to construct a future hedge, J&L should short a future contract. (in order to gain from the price decrease) In order to construct a commodity- swap hedge, J&L need to sell a floor while simultaneously buy a cap 4. Should Craft consider using a cap as a hedge?
