Question

1. Construct a Market Value Balance Sheet for Trump Toppers, Inc. (TT), manufacturer of custom-made hairpieces, given the following data (FYI: There are no other liabilities or stock issues other than those mentioned below.): (answer parts a through c)
   1. The company has issued $1,000 face value bonds that will mature in 6 years with a total book value of $31,000,000. The coupon rate on the bond is 6.0%, but market interest rate on similar bonds is now 4.0%. What is the price of one bond and market value of the entire bond issue?
   2. The company also has 8,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The company’s earnings are expected to be $12 per share and it plans to pay out 35% of its earnings to its shareholders. Meanwhile, its return on invested funds (ROE) is estimated at 17% and, given the riskiness of the stock, the required rate of return is 15%. Calculate the price per share and the market value of the total equity position.
   3. The book value of assets in place (plant and equipment) is $492,000,000. Indicate the value of investment opportunities.

2. Answer both (unrelated) parts a and b.

1. Nipper Corp., which sells glow-in-the-dark pacifiers to anxious parents, wants to expand its capacity. Nipper is considering buying a new piece of equipment that would cut the radioactivity in each pacifier. One alternative would cost them $77,000 for new machinery and provide them with cash flows of $29,000 per year for the next four years. The other would cost $186,000 but would result in cash flows of $66,000 a year over the same 4 year period. Assuming that the cost of capital Nipper faces is 12.0%, evaluate the NPV and IRR of these projects and determine which one of these two mutually exclusive alternatives you would choose. Explain your reasoning. Show all work!
2. Assume you are the financial manager with a hard capital rationing constraint of $18 million. You may invest in the following independent projects. Investment and cash flow figures are in millions.

	Project	Investment	Net Present Value
	A	5	2
	B	4	1
	C	9	3
	D	5	1
	E	2	1

Using the Profitability Index, which projects should you choose given the budget constraint? and

Which would you choose if there was no capital rationing?

4. The new hole-maker/donut-filler at Dunker Doughnuts is projected to cost $63,000. According to the base case cited in a secret management report, the following cash flows can be expected in each of the five years of the machine’s life. There is no salvage value or change in working capital.

                                                    Year 0                        Years 1-5

Investment                                  $63,000                                         

Sales                                                                                $300,000

Variable costs@ 78.5%                                                 235,500

Fixed costs                                                                        25,000

Depreciation                                                                      12,600

Pretax Profit                                                                        26,900

Taxes @ 21%                                                                       5,649

After-tax Profits                                                                 21,251

Depreciation                                                                       12,600

Cash Flows                                                                        33,851

Assume the cost of capital is 13%.

NPV = $56,061.80

Answer parts a through c

1. What is the net present value if the price of the machine turns out to be $83,000 instead of $63,000 (assume straight-line depreciation)?

2. Instead, what is the net present value if the economy booms and sales come in at $450,000 per year (variable costs remain at 78.5% of sales)?

3. Calculate the accounting break-even level of sales of the base (given) case:

Answer 1

Answer part b

Order of project selection based on profitability index - Project E , A ,C, then Last B

Order of Project selection if no capital rationing - project C,A,E and last B

Answer part a through c

a . NPV = $ 122,016.26 - $ 83,000

   = $ 39,016.26

Note: Depreciation will be $ 16,600

b. NPV = $ 208,672.05 - $63,000

= $ 145,672.05

c. Break even level of sales = $ 273,100

or $ 260,500 if u excludes depreciation from ur decision making .

BEP is level at which contribution equals to sales.that is No profit or No loss.

Dear student I beg ur pardon for answers a. It’s a time consuming one please post part a again
