HCM565 Module 4 CT Chapter 11 Problem 1 Winston Clinic is evaluating a project that costs $52,125 and has expected net cash flows of $12,000 per year for eight years. The first inflow occurs one year after the cost outflow, and the project has a cost of capital of 12 percent. a. What is the project's payback? b. What is the project's NPV? Its IRR? c. Is the project financially acceptable? Explain your answer. Chapter 11 Problem 3 Capitol Health Plans, Inc., is evaluating two different methods for providing home health services to its members. Both methods involve contracting out for services, and the health outcomes and revenues are not affected by the method chosen. Therefore, the incremental cash flows for the decision are all outflows. Here are the projected flows: Year Method A Method B 0 -$300,000 -$120,000 1 -$66,000 -$96,000 2 -$66,000 -$96,000 3 -$66,000 -$96,000 4 -$66,000 -$96,000 5 -$66,000 -$96,000 a. What is each alternative's IRR? b. If the cost of capital for both methods is 9 percent, which method should be chosen? Why? Chapter 11 Problem 5 Assume that you are the CFO at Porter Memorial Hospital. The CEO has asked you to analyze two proposed capital investments: Project X and Project Y. Each project requires a net investment outlay of $10,000, and the cost of capital for each project is 12 percent. The project's expected net cash flows are as follows: Year Project X Project Y 0 -$10,000 -$10,000 1 $6,500 $3,000 2 $3,000 $3,000 3 $3,000 $3,000 4 $1,000 $3,000 a. Calculate each project's payback period, net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR). b. Which project (or projects) is financially acceptable? Explain your answer. Chapter 11 Problem 7 California Health Center, a for-profit hospital, is evaluating the purchase of new diagnostic equipment. The equipment, which costs $600,000, has an expected life of five years and an estimated pretax salvage value of $200,000 at that time. The equipment is expected to be used 15 times a day for 250 days a year for each year of the project's life. On average, each procedure is expected to generate $80 in collections, which is net of bad debt losses and contractual allowances, in its first year of use. Thus, net revenues for Year 1 are estimated at 15 X 250 X $80 = $300,000. Labor and maintenance costs are expected to be $100,000 during the first year of operation, while utilities will cost another $10,000 and cash overhead will increase by $5,000 in Year 1. The cost for expendable supplies is expected to average $5 per procedure during the first year. All costs and revenues, except depreciation, are expected to increase at a 5 percent inflation rate after the first year. The equipment falls into the MACRS five-year class for tax depreciation and hence is subject to the following depreciation allowances: Year Allowance 1 0.2 2 0.32 3 0.19 4 0.12 5 0.11 6 0.06 The hospital's tax rate is 40 percent, and its corporate cost of capital is 10 percent. a.

The document discusses various capital budgeting techniques used to evaluate investment projects, including:
1) The cash payback period method which calculates the years to recover initial costs from annual cash flows.
2) The net present value method which discounts future cash flows to determine if a project's present value exceeds costs.
3) The internal rate of return method which calculates the discount rate that sets a project's present value of cash flows equal to its costs.
4) The annual rate of return and profitability index methods which evaluate profitability as a percentage of investment size. Post-audits of actual results are recommended to improve future investment analyses.
Ethics Case 11–10 Asset impairment • LO11–8 At the.docx
Ethics Case 11–10
Asset impairment
• LO11–8
At the beginning of 2011, the Healthy Life Food Company purchased equipment
for $42 million to be used in the manufacture of a new line of gourmet frozen
foods. The equipment was estimated to have a 10-year service life and no
residual value. The straight-line depreciation method was used to measure
depreciation for 2011 and 2012.
Late in 2013, it became apparent that sales of the new frozen food line were
significantly below expectations. The company decided to continue production
for two more years (2014 and 2015) and then discontinue the line. At that time,
the equipment will be sold for minimal scrap values.
The controller, Heather Meyer, was asked by Harvey Dent, the company's chief
executive officer (CEO), to determine the appropriate treatment of the change in
service life of the equipment. Heather determined that there has been an
impairment of value requiring an immediate write-down of the equipment of
$12,900,000. The remaining book value would then be depreciated over the
equipment's revised service life.
The CEO does not like Heather's conclusion because of the effect it would have
on 2013 income. “Looks like a simple revision in service life from 10 years to 5
years to me,” Dent concluded. “Let's go with it that way, Heather.”
Required:
1. What is the difference in before-tax income between the CEO's
and Heather's treatment of the situation?
2. Discuss Heather Meyer's ethical dilemma.
Ethics Case 11–10
Requirement 1
2013 expense using CEO's approach:
$42,000,000 Cost
$4,200,000 Previous annual depreciation ($42,000,000 ÷ 10 years)
x 2 years 8,400,000 Depreciation to date (2011–2012)
33,600,000 Book value
÷ 3 Estimated remaining life (2013–2015)
$11,200,000 New annual depreciation
2013 income would include only depreciation expense of $11,200,000.
2013 expense using Heather's approach:
$42,000,000 Cost
$4,200,000 Previous annual depreciation ($42,000,000 ÷ 10 years)
x 2 years 8,400,000 Depreciation to date (2011–2012)
33,600,000 Book value
12,900,000 Write-down
20,700,000 New depreciable base
÷ 3 Estimated remaining life (2013–2015)
$ 6,900,000 New annual depreciation
2013 income would include depreciation expense of $6,900,000 and an asset
writedown
of $12,900,000 for a total income reduction of $19,800,000.
Using Heather's approach, 2013's before tax income would be lower by $8,600,000
($19,800,000 – 11,200,000).

Current assets = 1,374
Current Liability or Accounts payable = 600
Current ratio = 2.29
2. Your task is to update your firm’s long-term financial model (that was originally prepared last year). In financial modeling, a key assumption involves the firm’s dividend policy, as typically specified by the firm’s payout ratio.
You recognize many differences between today and last year.
Last year, the Treasury Yield Curve was upward sloping. Today, the Treasury Yield Curve is inverted. Last year, the Fed was expected to raise interest rates. Today, the Fed is expected to lower interest rates. We also know the following:

Based on the differences described above, would you expect the payout ratio in this year’s financial model to be higher or lower than it was last year? Briefly explain.
Based on the differences above, I expect that the payout ratio in this year’s financial model to be lower along with short term headwinds. The earnings per share is going down and the price is taking a hit. Also, assets are leaning towards the heavier side.
3. Glencore will need to have $3,000 on June 20, 2023 (four years from now) to purchase new equipment. To accumulate this money, it will make four equal investments, with the first of the equal investments beginning one year from now.
a. If Glencore can earn an annual interest rate of 10%, how much must it invest per year?
My work:
P1 = 646.41 x 1.10
P2 = 646.41 x 1.10
P3 = 646.41 x 1.10
P4 = 646.41 x 1.10
Invest per year = $646.41
=PMT (10%,4,0,3000,0)
b. After presenting your findings from the above calculation, Glencore’s CFO asks you to consider an alternative scenario. Both changes are to occur today and will continue throughout the four years. You are to consider both changes simultaneously.
1. The interest rate will increase today and remain at that higher level.
2. There will still be four equal investments, but the first investment will occur immediately.
Without doing any calculations, how would these changes (considered simultaneously) affect your answer in part a? Using no more than 50 words, carefully justify your response. Do not write more 50 words.
My response:
With a higher rate (ex: 12%) Glencore’s money is working harder. If less money is put down, then more money will result in t.

C&MDS, Inc.
Some time ago, at the beginning of 2010, an entrepreneur named Richard Alestar started a small business as a sole proprietor in Oregon - a business that manufactured sensors for cameras that could be used in motion detection systems. The business was very successful and he decided to incorporate in the latter part of 2011 under the name C&MDS, Incorporated. He wanted to name it Camera and Motion Detection Systems, but his marketing manager convinced him it was too difficult to remember. Alestar’s long-term plan was to obtain public funding to support growth anticipated in about 4-6 years. In the meantime, he hired electrical engineers and a solid management team capable of building an organization that would enable the company to eventually go public. He thought his proprietary sensors and equipment could not be duplicated for a number of years. There was only one competitor in the market niche where he competed that had a significant market share, but they were a follower, not a leader. Besides, he planned to grow the market himself, based on the increased focus and attention in the public arena on crime prevention, detection and surveillance using cameras with his sensors. He also was developing a host of other potential applications.
Alestar had developed a good relationship with his investment banker Sophia Pound, and had just begun discussions with respect to obtaining additional capital required to position the company to go public. These discussions also involved the chief financial officer (CFO), Mitch O. Dinero, who had brought up the issue of the appropriate capital structure (target capital structure) that C&MDS should consider. They both thought the current mix in the capital structure was close to optimal, and that only minor changes would be necessary. However, they would defer to the investment banke ...

The service rate can be increased or decreased in increments of 50 prescriptions per hour. The expense associated with each 50-prescription increment is $100. In other words, to be able to process 50 additional prescriptions will cost an additional $100 per hour. If the current rate of processing or service is lowered by 50 prescriptions per hour, the savings are $100 per hour. Using queuing theory, describe this service system. What is:
a. The probability that the clinic is idle—no patients waiting or being serve.

7.13Chapter 7 Problem 13In many financial transactions, interest is computed and charged more than once a year. Interest on corporate bonds, for example, is usually payable every six months. Consider a loan transaction in which interest is charged at the rate of 1 percent per month. Sometimes such a transaction is described as having an interest rate of 12 percent per annum. More precisely, this rate should be described as a nominal 12 percent per annum coumpounded monthly.Clearly, it is desirable to recognize the difference between 1 percent per month compounded monthly and 12 percent per annum compounded annually. If $1,000 is borrowed with interest at 1 percent per month compounded monthly, the amount due in one year is:F = $1,000(1.01)12 = $1,000(1.1268) = $1,126.80 This compares to F = $1,000(1+.12) =$1,120.00 for annual compounding.Hence, the monthly compounding has the same effect on the year-end amount due as the charging of a rate of 12.68 percent compounded annually. 12.68 percent is referred to as the effective interest rate. To generalize, if interest is compounded m times a year at an interest rate of r/m per compounding period. Then,The nominal interest rate per annum, or the APR = m(r/m) = r.The effective interest rate per annum,or the EAR = (1+r/m)m - 1.Consider a $100,000, 30 year, fixed-rate, 9 percent, home mortgage requiring monthly payments.a. The monthly interest rate on the mortgage is 9%/12 months = .75%. What is the APR on the mortgage?b. What is the EAR on the mortgage?c. The borrower's payment book will look something like the following. Complete the entries for the first 6 months.Outstanding Balance Beginning of MonthMonthly paymentInterest duePrincipal paymentOutstanding Balance End of MonthDate01-31$100,00002-2803-3104-3005-3106-30d. After paying on this mortgage for 15 years, what will be the remaining principal outstanding? e. Suppose after 15 years the borrower has the opportunity to refinance the remaining principal on the mortgage with a new 15-year mortgage carrying an interest rate of 7 1/8%. Refinancing will involve $250 in costs and "points.

Business Case: HSBC Combats Fraud in Split-second Decisions
With billions of dollars, corporate reputations, customer
loyalty, and criminal penalties for noncompliance at stake,
fi nancial fi rms must outsmart fraudsters. Detecting and pre-
venting fraudulent transactions across many lines of business
(checking, savings, credit cards, loans, etc.) and online chan-
nels require comprehensive real time data analytics to assess
and score transactions. That is, each transaction has to be
analyzed within a split second to calculate the probability
that it is fraudulent or legitimate.
A big part of a bank’s relationship with customers is
giving them confi dence that they are protected against fraud,
and balancing that protection with their need to have access
to your services.
HSCB Overview
HSBC is a commercial bank known by many as the “world’s
local bank.” HSBC is a United Kingdom–based company
that provides a wide range of banking and related fi nancial
services. The bank reported a pre-tax profi t of $6.8 billion
in the fi rst quarter of 2014 (1Q 2014). It has 6,300 offi ces in
75 countries and over 54 million customers.
Fighting Fraudulent Transactions
HSBC was able to reduce the incidence of fraud across tens
of millions of debit and credit card accounts. The bank imple-
mented the latest Fraud Management software from SAS. The
software includes an application programming interface (API)
and a real time transaction scoring system based on advanced
data analytics. Using the Fraud Management app, HSBC has
reduced its losses from fraudulent transactions worldwide and
its exposure to increasingly aggressive threats. The antifraud
solution is live in the United States, Europe, and Asia, where it
protects 100 percent of credit card transactions in real time.
Scenario
Consider this scenario. A credit card transaction request
comes in for the purchase of $6,000 in home appliances. The
bank has a moment to decide to approve the transaction, or
reject it as potentially fraudulent. Two outcomes are possible:
• Legitimate purchase rejected: When a legitimate pur-
chase is rejected, the customer might pay with another
card. The bank loses the fee income from the purchase
and the interest fee. Risk of account churn increases.
• Fraudulent purchase accepted: When a fraudulent pur-
chase is accepted, a legitimate customer becomes a victim
of a crime. The bank incurs the $6,000 loss, the cost of the
fraud investigation, potential regulatory scrutiny, and bad
publicity. Chances of recovering any losses are almost zero.
With trillions of dollars in assets, HSBC Holdings plc is a prime
target for fraud. Fighting all forms of fraud—unauthorized
use of cards for payment and online transactions, and even
customer fraud—has risen to the top of the corporate
agenda. Fraud losses are operating costs that damage
the bottom line.
As required by regulations, HSBC has ...

You have a good start here but significant improvement is needed. Please make sure you are reviewing all my materials and taking the time to watch my video and review the rubric. Please read the rubric description - several areas you included were not well defined and lacked context/detail related to the rubric description. Make sure you continue to make the connection between your project and the mission, vision, and values of the facility. This is very important when you approach your board – they want to know how it fits into the overall objectives of the organization. I have provided some detailed feedback above that I think your project could benefit from. Think about what questions an investor or board would ask from a financial and clinical perspective and then answer them. The key is to answer questions before they are asked. One of these questions is, "How long will it take to make my money back?"

4. Monday October 27 lecture
Themes: Global Media Governance and Regulation; The Internet and Digital Media
Readings: Chapter 5, “The Medium: Global Technologies and Organizations,” and Chapter 6, “The Internet”
In this lecture, we discussed the definition and history of communication rights as one element or dimension of communication policy, and used it to bring to life a subject—policy—that sometimes seems abstract and technical in nature.
In doing so, we noted the evolution from a “negative” rights view of communication rights, as expressed in Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, to the more “positive” definition of communication rights explained in the lecture content derived from the work of Marc Raboy (and Jeremy Shtern).
Remember that “negative” does not mean “bad” here nor “positive” good. “Negative” and “positive” rights—which are ways of thinking about all human rights, not just communication rights—are instead ways of characterizing the orientation of rights toward individuals and society. Negative rights are defined in terms of freedom
from
things, and positive rights in terms of freedom
to
have or do certain things. Both negative and positive rights derive their legitimacy from fundamental and universal consideration of what it means to be human and to be treat people as human beings.
In our case study at the end of the lecture, we then discussed how a “positive” approach to communication rights could help us better understand and perhaps act against cyberbullying.
In your paper, and in your own words, define “communication rights,” and then briefly explain the evolution from the negative to the positive rights approach to communication rights.
Once you have done that, and with reference to the cyberbullying pamphlet from the Canadian government attached to your lecture notes, demonstrate how a “positive” rights approach to communication rights can help us better understand and prevent cyberbullying. In other words, what are the limitations of approaching cyberbullying from a “negative” rights perspective, and what does a “positive” approach to communication rights do to help us understand and perhaps act against cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is a problem in international communication that affects many, especially vulnerable teenagers, as illustrated in the case of the late Amanda Todd (from British Columbia).
You do not need to use the McPhail chapter here, as it is not directly relevant to this question. Rather, draw on the lecture notes and the podcast as your sources here.

7.13Chapter 7 Problem 13In many financial transactions, interest is computed and charged more than once a year. Interest on corporate bonds, for example, is usually payable every six months. Consider a loan transaction in which interest is charged at the rate of 1 percent per month. Sometimes such a transaction is described as having an interest rate of 12 percent per annum. More precisely, this rate should be described as a nominal 12 percent per annum coumpounded monthly.Clearly, it is desirable to recognize the difference between 1 percent per month compounded monthly and 12 percent per annum compounded annually. If $1,000 is borrowed with interest at 1 percent per month compounded monthly, the amount due in one year is:F = $1,000(1.01)12 = $1,000(1.1268) = $1,126.80 This compares to F = $1,000(1+.12) =$1,120.00 for annual compounding.Hence, the monthly compounding has the same effect on the year-end amount due as the charging of a rate of 12.68 percent compounded annually. 12.68 percent is referred to as the effective interest rate. To generalize, if interest is compounded m times a year at an interest rate of r/m per compounding period. Then,The nominal interest rate per annum, or the APR = m(r/m) = r.The effective interest rate per annum,or the EAR = (1+r/m)m - 1.Consider a $100,000, 30 year, fixed-rate, 9 percent, home mortgage requiring monthly payments.a. The monthly interest rate on the mortgage is 9%/12 months = .75%. What is the APR on the mortgage?b. What is the EAR on the mortgage?c. The borrower's payment book will look something like the following.

After paying on this mortgage for 15 years, what will be the remaining principal outstanding? e. Suppose after 15 years the borrower has the opportunity to refinance the remaining principal on the mortgage with a new 15-year mortgage carrying an interest rate of 7 1/8%. Refinancing will involve $250 in costs and "points.

Business Case: HSBC Combats Fraud in Split-second Decisions
With billions of dollars, corporate reputations, customer
loyalty, and criminal penalties for noncompliance at stake,
fi nancial fi rms must outsmart fraudsters. Detecting and pre-
venting fraudulent transactions across many lines of business
(checking, savings, credit cards, loans, etc.) and online chan-
nels require comprehensive real time data analytics to assess
and score transactions. That is, each transaction has to be
analyzed within a split second to calculate the probability
that it is fraudulent or legitimate.
A big part of a bank’s relationship with customers is
giving them confi dence that they are protected against fraud,
and balancing that protection with their need to have access
to your services.
HSCB Overview
HSBC is a commercial bank known by many as the “world’s
local bank.” HSBC is a United Kingdom–based company
that provides a wide range of banking and related fi nancial
services. The bank reported a pre-tax profi t of $6.8 billion
in the fi rst quarter of 2014 (1Q 2014). It has 6,300 offi ces in
75 countries and over 54 million customers.
Fighting Fraudulent Transactions
HSBC was able to reduce the incidence of fraud across tens
of millions of debit and credit card accounts. The bank imple-
mented the latest Fraud Management software from SAS. The
software includes an application programming interface (API)
and a real time transaction scoring system based on advanced
data analytics. Using the Fraud Management app, HSBC has
reduced its losses from fraudulent transactions worldwide and
its exposure to increasingly aggressive threats. The antifraud
solution is live in the United States, Europe, and Asia, where it
protects 100 percent of credit card transactions in real time.
Scenario
Consider this scenario. A credit card transaction request
comes in for the purchase of $6,000 in home appliances. The
bank has a moment to decide to approve the transaction, or
reject it as potentially fraudulent. Two outcomes are possible:
• Legitimate purchase rejected: When a legitimate pur-
chase is rejected, the customer might pay with another
card. The bank loses the fee income from the purchase
and the interest fee. Risk of account churn increases.
• Fraudulent purchase accepted: When a fraudulent pur-
chase is accepted, a legitimate customer becomes a victim
of a crime. The bank incurs the $6,000 loss, the cost of the
fraud investigation, potential regulatory scrutiny, and bad
publicity. Chances of recovering any losses are almost zero.
With trillions of dollars in assets, HSBC Holdings plc is a prime
target for fraud. Fighting all forms of fraud—unauthorized
use of cards for payment and online transactions, and even
customer fraud—has risen to the top of the corporate
agenda. Fraud losses are operating costs that damage
the bottom line.
As required by regulations, HSBC has ...

Please read the rubric description - several areas you included were not well defined and lacked context/detail related to the rubric description. Make sure you continue to make the connection between your project and the mission, vision, and values of the facility. This is very important when you approach your board – they want to know how it fits into the overall objectives of the organization. I have provided some detailed feedback above that I think your project could benefit from. Think about what questions an investor or board would ask from a financial and clinical perspective and then answer them. The key is to answer questions before they are asked. One of these questions is, "How long will it take to make my money back?"

4. Monday October 27 lecture
Themes: Global Media Governance and Regulation; The Internet and Digital Media
Readings: Chapter 5, “The Medium: Global Technologies and Organizations,” and Chapter 6, “The Internet”
In this lecture, we discussed the definition and history of communication rights as one element or dimension of communication policy, and used it to bring to life a subject—policy—that sometimes seems abstract and technical in nature.
In doing so, we noted the evolution from a “negative” rights view of communication rights, as expressed in Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, to the more “positive” definition of communication rights explained in the lecture content derived from the work of Marc Raboy (and Jeremy Shtern).
Remember that “negative” does not mean “bad” here nor “positive” good. “Negative” and “positive” rights—which are ways of thinking about all human rights, not just communication rights—are instead ways of characterizing the orientation of rights toward individuals and society. Negative rights are defined in terms of freedom
from
things, and positive rights in terms of freedom
to
have or do certain things. Both negative and positive rights derive their legitimacy from fundamental and universal consideration of what it means to be human and to be treat people as human beings.
In our case study at the end of the lecture, we then discussed how a “positive” approach to communication rights could help us better understand and perhaps act against cyberbullying.
In your paper, and in your own words, define “communication rights,” and then briefly explain the evolution from the negative to the positive rights approach to communication rights.
Once you have done that, and with reference to the cyberbullying pamphlet from the Canadian government attached to your lecture notes, demonstrate how a “positive” rights approach to communication rights can help us better understand and prevent cyberbullying. In other words, what are the limitations of approaching cyberbullying from a “negative” rights perspective, and what does a “positive” approach to communication rights do to help us understand and perhaps act against cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is a problem in international communication that affects many, especially vulnerable teenagers, as illustrated in the case of the late Amanda Todd (from British Columbia).
You do not need to use the McPhail chapter here, as it is not directly relevant to this question. Rather, draw on the lecture notes and the podcast as your sources here.
5. Wednesday October 29 lecture
Themes: Global Media Case Study in Media and the Arab World; Orientalism
Readings: Said, Edward (1978)..

EXAMPLE QUESTIONS ..........
What’s your first, most vivid memory? Going to my grandma and grandpa’s farm and making grandma walk me out to the outhouse for fear of a mean bannie rooster would peck me to death. He was afraid of grandma.
What was the apartment or house like that you grew up in? How many bedrooms did it have? Bathrooms? I lived with my mother and father mostly in a house in the city that had 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. I had to share a room with my older brother that was upstairs.
What was your bedroom like? Very simple. It had 2 beds made of feathers, a desk with a lamp and one dresser for our clothes. Dallas (my brother got the bottom 2 and I got the top 2)
Can you describe the neighborhood you grew up in? Not really. Every chance I got I went to grandma and grandpas and spent time with them. They lived deep in the country. I had one friend out there that lived about 3 miles away on the next farm. His name was Carl.
Tell me about your parents. Where were they born? When were they born? What memories do you have of them? Both parents were born in Richmond, IN. Memories include more of my mother than my father. He was a drunk that stayed out all the time. He only came home when he was ready to pass out or to beat us.
Who was more strict: your mother or your father? Do you have a vivid memory of something you did that you were disciplined for? Since mom was the main one around I would say that she was more strict. I remember one instance when I was about 16 and mom had kicked me out of the house because she was forced to work with dad being gone all the time and I was telling her that I no longer wanted to take care of my little brother because I felt like I was his mother rather than her and that I didn’t want to do anymore of the house work. It was her house she should have to clean it. She kicked me out. I was sitting on the porch crying and dad came home (sober for once) and sat on the porch with me, got me calmed down and offered to give me a ride to grandma and grandpa’s.
Did your parents have a good marriage? No they had a horrible marriage.
How did your family earn money? How did your family compare to others in the neighborhood – richer,
poorer, the same? My family earned money from my mother working in a diner. Dad worked in a mill but we rarely saw his money. We did alright but I would say that we were on the poorer end of society.
What kinds of things did your family spend money on? The necessities and that was it.
How many brothers and sisters do you have? When were they born? What memories do yo.

- 1. HCM565 Module 4 CT Chapter 11 Problem 1 Winston Clinic is evaluating a project that costs $52,125 and has expected net cash flows of $12,000 per year for eight years. The first inflow occurs one year after the cost outflow, and the project has a cost of capital of 12 percent. a. What is the project's payback? b. What is the project's NPV? Its IRR? c. Is the project financially acceptable? Explain your answer. Chapter 11 Problem 3 Capitol Health Plans, Inc., is evaluating two different methods for providing home health services to its members. Both methods involve contracting out for services, and the health outcomes and revenues are not affected by the method chosen. Therefore, the incremental cash flows for the decision are all outflows. Here are the projected flows: Year Method A Method B 0 -$300,000 -$120,000 1 -$66,000 -$96,000 2

If the cost of capital for both methods is 9 percent, which method should be chosen? Why? Chapter 11 Problem 5 Assume that you are the CFO at Porter Memorial Hospital. The CEO has asked you to analyze two proposed capital investments: Project X and Project Y. Each project requires a net investment outlay of $10,000, and the cost of capital for each project is 12 percent. The project's expected net cash flows are as follows: Year Project X Project Y 0 -$10,000 -$10,000 1 $6,500 $3,000 2 $3,000
- 3. $3,000 3 $3,000 $3,000 4 $1,000 $3,000 a. Calculate each project's payback period, net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR). b. Which project (or projects) is financially acceptable? Explain your answer. Chapter 11 Problem 7 California Health Center, a for-profit hospital, is evaluating the purchase of new diagnostic equipment. The equipment, which costs $600,000, has an expected life of five years and an estimated pretax salvage value of $200,000 at that time. The equipment is expected to be used 15 times a day for 250 days a year for each year of the project's life. On average, each procedure is expected to generate $80 in collections, which is net of bad debt losses and contractual allowances, in its first year of use. Thus, net revenues for Year 1 are estimated at 15 X 250 X $80 = $300,000. Labor and maintenance costs are expected to be $100,000 during the first year of operation, while utilities will cost another $10,000 and cash overhead will increase by $5,000 in Year 1. The cost for expendable supplies is expected to average $5 per procedure during the first year. All costs and revenues, except depreciation, are expected to increase at a 5 percent inflation rate after the first year. The equipment falls into the MACRS five-year class for tax depreciation and hence is subject to the following depreciation

Estimate the project's net cash flows over its five-year estimated life. b. What are the project's NPV and IRR? (Assume that the project has average risk.) (Hint: Use the following format as a guide.) Year

- 9. Taxes After-tax equipment salvage value Chapter 12 Problem 3 Consider the project contained in Problem 7 in Chapter 11 (California Health Center). a. Perform a sensitivity analysis to see how NPV is affected by changes in the number of procedures per day, average collection amount, and salvage value. Remember supplies vary with number of procedures. b. Conduct a scenario analysis. Suppose that the hospital's staff concluded that the three most uncertain variables were number of procedures per day, average collection amount, and the equipment's salvage value. Furthermore, the following data were developed:
- 10. Equipment Number of Average Salvage Scenario Probability Procedures Collection Value Worst 0.25 10 $60 $100,000 Most likely 0.50 15 $80 $200,000 Best 0.25 20 $100 $300,000 c. Finally, assume that California Health Center's average project has a coefficient of variation of NPV in the range of 1.0 - 2.0. (Hint: Coefficient of variation is defined as the standard deviation of NPV divided by the expected NPV.) The hospital adjusts for risk by adding or subtracting 3 percentage points to its 10 percent corporate cost of capital. After adjusting for

Chapter 12 Problem 5 Allied Managed Care Company is evaluating two different computer systems for handling provider claims. There are no incremental revenues attached to the projects, so the decision will be made on the basis of the present value of costs. Allied's corporate cost of capital is 10 percent. Here are the net cash flow estimates in thousands of dollars: Year System X System Y 0 -$500 -$1,000 1 -$500 -$300 2 -$500 -$300 3 -$500 -$300 a. Assume initially that the systems both have average risk. Which one should be chosen? b. Assume that System X is judged to have high risk. Allied accounts for differential risk by adjusting its corporate cost of capital up or down by 2 percentage points. Which system should be chosen?
- 12. Chapter 12 Problem 10 Michigan Home Health is considering opening an office in a new market. The organization has identified the number of home visits, revenue per home visit, and the level of fixed costs of the new office as being the major sources of uncertainty in the investment decision. To get a better understanding of the sensitivity of the new office NPV to these variables, the following data have been assembled: Change NPV from Number Revenue Level of base of home per home fixed case visits visit costs -30% -$814 -$57 $82 -20% -$515 -$11 $82 -10% -$216 $36
