For simplification, 5-year-lived projects with 5 years of cash inflows are typically used throughout this chapter. Projects with usable lives equal to the number of years of cash inflows are also included in the end-of-chapter problems. It is important to recall from Chapter 4 that under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, MACRS depreciation results in n 1 years of depreciation for an n-year class asset. This means that in actual practice projects will typically have at least one year of cash flow
To forecast 2010 sales based on 2009 sales, Equation 1 must be used: St = $500,000 + $1.10St–1 S2010 = $500,000 + $1.10($1,500,000) = $2,150,000 3. Equation 2 requires a forecast of gross domestic product. Equation 3 uses the actual gross domestic product for the past year and, therefore, is observable. 4. Advantages: Using the highest R2, the lowest

If for instance, the corresponding error for 0.75 is 1.3, the optimal stock to keep for that item would be 1.3 * frozen forecast. Hence, this value is the stock for that item. 2) There are different scenarios to determine relevant costs and revenues. The first scenario is where (geographically spoken) the stock kept of a particular item is sold. In this case, all the costs related to buying and selling that product would be included.
It will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. At the end of 5 years, the machine can be sold to net $400,000 before taxes. If this machine is acquired, it is anticipated that the following current account changes would result. Cash + $25,000 Accounts Receivable + 120,000 Inventories - 20,000 Accounts Payable + 35,000 Press B – This press is not as sophisticated as press A. It costs $640,000 and requires $20,000 in
Caledonia is considering two additional mutually exclusive projects. The cash flows associated with these projects are as follows: YEAR PROJECT A PROJECT B 0 –$100,000 –$100,000 1 32,000 0 2 32,000 0 3 32,000 0 4 32,000 0 5 32,000 $200,000 The required rate of return on these projects is 11 percent. a. What is each project’s payback period? b.
c. Internal common equity where the current market price of the common stock is $43.50. The expected dividend this coming year should be $3.25, increasing thereafter at a 7% annual growth rate. The corporation’s tax rate is 34%. d. A preferred stock paying a 10% dividend on a $125 par value. If a new issue is offered, flotation costs will be 12% of the current price of $150.
Given the following cash flow stream at the end of each year: Year 1: $4,000 Year 2: $2,000 Year 3: 0 Year 4: -$1,000 Using a 10% discount rate, the present value of this cash flow stream is: a. $4,606 b. $3,415 c. $3,636 d. Other 8.
