Solved by verified expert :1-At this time the Javits
& Sons shares traded at $ 30 each.
It is anticipated that
pay a $ 3.00 dividend
at year end (D1 =
$ 3.00) and that the dividend will grow at
a constant rate of 5% annually. What will be the cost of common equity?
2-It is expected that profits, dividends and share price of
Carpetto Technologies Incorporated grow at 7%
per annum in the future. Common
shares are worth $ 23 each, the last dividend
was $ 2.00 and the
company will pay a dividend of $ 2.14
last year one in progress.
a. What will be the cost of capital using the method of discounted cash flow?
b. If the beta
of the company is 1.6, if the risk-free rate is
9% and if the
expected return
market is 13%,
what will be the cost of capital using the CAPM model?
c. If the bonds
produced yields of 12%, what will
be applying performance ra
bonus plus risk
premium? (Hint: Use the midpoint
of the interval
risk premium.)
3-Decision methods
The Project K
costs $ 52,125, net
inflows expected value amounted to $ 12,000 per
year for 8 years and the cost of
capital is 12%. (Hint:
start building a timeline.)
a. What is your
recovery period (rounded to the
nearest year)?
b. What
is the discounted payback period?
c. What is its net present
value? d. What is the internal rate of return
e. What is the modified
internal rate of return?
4-capital budgeting methods
The S project
costs $ 10,000 and
is expected to bring benefits (cash
flows) for $ 3,000 a year for 5 years. The
Project L costs
$ 25,000 and is expected to generate cash flows by $
7,400 per year for 5 years. Calculate the net
present value; internal rate of return, modified internal rate of return and rate of return of
the two projects,
assuming a cost of capital of 12%. What should be
selected if they are mutually
exclusive and if grading methods
are applied? And what is actually selected?
5- VPN Analysis and TIR
After discovering a vein of gold in the mountains of Colorado, CTC Mining Corporation
need to decide whether or not exploitation. The most
cost effective method is the extraction with sulfuric acid, a process that damages the environment. To start the extraction, the company must invest
$ 900,000 in mining
equipment and pay $ 165,000
for the installation. The extracted gold will
produce an estimated net gain of
$ 350,000 per year for 5 years duration of the grain. The cost of capital
is 14%. In this problem assume that cash receipts are at the end of the year.
a. What is the
net present value (NPV) and
internal rate of return (IRR) of
project?
6-Present value of costs
Aubey Coffee Company is evaluating an entire distribution system for plant
calcining, milling and packaging. The two alternatives are 1) a system of belts
conveyor with a
high initial cost but low annual
operating costs and 2) several
forklift that cost less but whose operating costs are much higher. Since the
decision to build the plant and the
decision will not affect the
total project income was taken. The capital cost of the plant is 8% and the expected
net costs are included in the table below:

7-increase sales
Pierce Furnishing generated $ 2.0 million
in sales in 2005 and its total
assets at the end of
year amounted to $
1.5 million. In the same period current
liabilities was $ 500,000 consisting of $ 200,000 in notes payable, $
200,000 in accounts payable and $ 100,000 in
deposits. The company estimates that
in 2006 the asset will increase 75
cents for every $ 1 increase in sales. The profit margin is 5% to the 60% rate of return.

Suppose that under projected 2006 sales grow 15 % over to 2005. Calculate the
additional funds needed. Assume that the company was running at full capacity
in 2005, it can not sell any of its assets
fixed and that the required funding is obtained through notes payable. Suppose further
that the assets, liabilities and spontaneous increase in operating costs the
same percentage as sales. With the percentage of sales method to prepare a
balance sheet and overall proforma income statement at December 31, 2006. Calculate
interest (cash payments do not accrue interest) with a rate of 10 % on the
balance liabilities at the beginning of the year. Use the projected income
statement to determine
how much is added to retained earnings.
