(APR) over the next twenty years and paid with monthly payments?
5. Present value with periodic rates. Let’s follow up with Sam Hinds, the
dentist, and his remodeling project (Chapter 4, Problem 12). The cost of
the equipment for the project is $18,000, and he will finance the

purchase with a 7.5% loan over six years. Originally, the loan called for
annual payments. Redo the payments based on quarterly payments (four
per year) and monthly payments (twelve per year). Compare the annual
cash outflows of the two payments. Why does the monthly payment plan
have less total cash outflow each year?
Original Problem from Chapter 4, Problem 12 to go with Chapter 5
Problem 5:
12. Payments. Sam Hinds, a local dentist, is going to remodel the dental
reception area and add two new workstations. He has contacted A-Dec,

years with his monthly payments if he is earning 6% (APR), 8% (APR),

1. Monthly amortization schedule. Sherry and Sam want to purchase a
condo at the coast. They will spend $650,000 on the condo and are
taking out a loan for the whole amount for the condo for twenty years at
7.0% interest.

a. What is the monthly payment on the mortgage? Construct the
amortization of the loan for the twenty years in a spreadsheet to show
the interest cost, the principal reduction, and the ending balance each
month.
b. Then change the amortization to reflect that after ten years, Sherry
and Sam will increase their monthly payment to $7,500 per month.
When will they fully repay the mortgage with this increased payment if
they apply all the extra dollars above the original payment to the
principal?

Opportunity cost. Richardses' Tree Farm, Inc. has branched into
gardening over the years and is now considering adding patio furniture
to its product lineup. Currently, the area where the patio furniture is to
be displayed is a vacant slab of concrete attached to the indoor shop. The
company originally paid $8000 to put in the slab of concrete three years

ago. It would now cost $13000 to put in the same slab of concrete.
Should the company consider the concrete slab when expanding its

Changing WACC and optimal choice. Austin Enterprises is currently an
all-equity firm. The firm is considering selling debt (bonds) and retiring
some of the equity. However, at each level of debt, debt becomes more
expensive (cost of debt is rising), and the riskiness of the equity also
rises with more and more debt. Using a spreadsheet, determine the best
combination of debt and equity for Austin Enterprises if
· The current beta of Austin Enterprises is 0.85.
· The current market return is 12%.
· The current risk-free rate is 3%.
· The total equity is 20,000,000 shares at $25 per share.
· Debt is sold in units of $2,000,000.
· The first unit of debt has a cost of 7.5%.
· The tax rate of Austin Enterprises is 40%.

· For each additional unit of debt (each additional $2,000,000), the
cost of debt rises by 0.85%, and the beta of Austin Enterprises rises by
0.025.
Where is the WACC the lowest? Graph the results of the changing
WACC
Working capital and capital budgeting. Farbuck’s Tea Shops is thinking
about opening another tea shop. The incremental cash flow for the first
five years is as follows:
· Initial capital cost = $3,500,000 Operating cash flow for each year
= $1,000,000 Recovery of capital assets after five years = $250,000
The hurdle rate for this project is 12%. If the initial cost of working
capital is $500,000 for items such as teapots, teacups, saucers, and
napkins, should Farbuck’s open this new shop if it will be in business for
only five years? What is the most it can invest in working capital and
still have a positive net present value?
Working capital and capital budgeting. Working capital investment is
25% of the anticipated first year sales for Wally’s Waffle House. The
first-year sales are currently projected at $4,300,000. The incremental
cash flow (not including working capital investment) is
· Initial cash flow = $13,700,000 outflow Cash flow years 1
through 10 = $2,850,000
What is the internal rate of return of the ten-year project with working
capital factored into the cash flow? What is the net present value at a

12. Book value versus market value components. The CFO of DMI is
trying to determine the company’s WACC. Brad, a promising MBA,
says that the company should use book value to assign the components
percentage for the WACC. Angela, a long-time employee and
experienced financial analyst, says the company should use market value
to assign the components. The after-tax cost of debt is at 7%, the cost of
preferred stock is at 11%, and the cost of equity is at 14%. Calculate the
WACC using both the book value and market value approaches with the
following information. Which do you think is better? Why?

raises capital for company projects. Currently, she can borrow up to
$600,000 from her bank at a rate of 8.5%, float a bond for $1,100,000 at
a rate of 9.25%, or issue additional stock for $1,300,000 at a cost of
17%. What is the WACC for CFF if Monica chooses to invest: a.

Transfer this balance sheet to an Excel spreadsheet and begin to prepare
a Pro Forma Balance Sheet for 2016 based on the following information:

2. Cash will increase to $2,825,000 and accounts receivable will
increase by 15%. The inventories will go up 35% and P, P, &E will go
up $2,000,000 with an expansion to the plant. Long term debt will
increase to $2,000,000 to help finance the plant expansion and add
$1,137,150 to other LT debt.. You will now have balance sheets for
2015 and 2016 for ICS Manufacturing.
Using the 2015 and 2016 financials for ICS, complete the following –
show calculations and/or numbers you used to derive your answer:
3. ICS wants to take around $400,000 of its cash and invest in
marketable securities. They anticipate receiving around $7.5% interest
on their investment and would like to have it held for 10 years. What
will be the FV of this $400,000 investment?
4. ICS believes they will only gain a 6% return on their $400,000
investment. Using the Rule of 72, how many years will it take to double
their investment?
5. ICS plans on expanding their plant and will fund $2,000,000. Part
of the funding will come from cash, but the balance of $775,000 will be
financed. The interest rate will be 5% and ICS plans on borrowing the
funds for 4 years. Prepare a loan amortization schedule for the 4 years
with 5% interest for the $775,000 and assume making one payment per
year. Show the schedule.
6. Using your 2015/2016 Income Statement and Balance Sheet, add a
column for percentage of total. Compute the percentages for each line
item for the financial statements. For the 2015 Income Statement, what
is the percentage of COGS as compared to total sales? Is this figure
reasonable and what is COGS and why is it important to a company?

7. Financial Ratios provide information to analyze a company’s
performance. Solve the following ratios for 2015 and 2016 using the
Income Statement and Balance sheets you prepared for ICS
Manufacturing.
a. Current Ratio – current assets/current liabilities
b. Quick Ratio – (current assets – inventories)/current liabilities
c. Cash Ratio – cash/current liabilities
d. Debt Ratio – total liabilities/total assets
e. Cash Coverage Ratio – (EBIT + depreciation/interest expense
f. Inventory Turnover – cost of goods sold/inventory
g. Receivables Turnover – sales/accounts receivable
h. Total Asset Turnover – sales/total assets
i. Profit Margin – net income/sales
j. Return on Equity – net income/total owner’s equity
8. Find the industry ratios for the company using the Dun &
Bradstreet® Key Business Ratios. Locate the Dunn & Bradstreet
Database by accessing the University of Phoenix Library and then
locating Library Resources. Click on Alphabetical List of Resources and
find Dunn and Bradstreet. Click on the link and search for your selected
company. ISC is a manufacturing company of plastic parts for the
automotive industry – try and select a company closest to our company.
Please use 3089 Plastic Products and NAICS of 326199 for

Quick and Current Ratios from 2015/2016 from problem 7 and add the

ratios from Dun & Bradstreet to compare and briefly suggest what
direction ICS should head into with the comparison.
9. ICS plans to expand their operations as stated in Problem 5 – and
are considering taking the loan – however, they have a few investors that
are interested in lending money for this venture. They need a total of
$775,000, and if they lend the money today, ICS will repay it, with
interest, at the end of the year. Company A agrees to lend $300,000 and
they require 5% interest, Company B will lend $200,000 at 6% interest,
and Company C will loan the balance but they won’t settle for less than
10% interest. What is the weighted average cost of this capital
(WACC)?
