Fountain Corporation’s economists estimate that a good business environment and a bad business environment are equally likely for the coming year. The managers of the company must choose between two mutually exclusive projects. Assume that the project the company chooses will be the firm’s only activity and that the firm will close one year from today. The company is obligated to make a $4,100 payment to bondholders at the end of the year. The projects have the same systematic risk but different volatilities. Consider the following information pertaining to the two projects:    Economy Probability Low-Volatility Project Payoff High-Volatility Project Payoff Bad .50 $ 4,100 $ 3,500 Good .50 4,600 5,200    a. What is the expected value of the company if the low-volatility project is undertaken? The high-volatility project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) b. What is the expected value of the…

Affleck Inc.'s business is booming, and it needs to raise more capital. The company purchases supplies on terms of 1/10, net 20, and it currently takes the discount.

What would be the effective annual percentage cost of funds raised by this action? (Assume a 365-day year.)

Marpor Industries has no debt and expects to generate free cash flows of $16.82 million each year. Marpor believes that if it permanently increases its level of debt to $35.60 million, the risk of financial distress may cause it to lose some customers and receive less favourable terms from its suppliers. As a result, Marpor's expected free cash flows with debt will be only $15.32 million per year. Suppose Marpor's tax rate is 25%, the risk-free rate is 6%, the expected return of the market is 12%, and the beta of Marpor's free cash flows is 1.10 (with or without leverage). a. Estimate Marpor's value without leverage. b. Estimate Marpor's value with the new leverage.

Is it possible that I can get help with this? I am not understanding why it is wrong. I have attached an example of the correct solution.     Futuristic Development (FD) generated $3 million in sales last year with assets equal to $6 million. The firm operated at full capacity last year. According to FD's balance sheet, the only current liabilities are accounts payable, which equals $480,000. The only other liability is long-term debt, which equals $1,035,000. The common equity section is comprised of 500,000 shares of common stock with a book value equal to $3 million and $1,485,000 of retained earnings. Next year, FD expects its sales will increase by 20 percent. The company's net profit margin is expected to remain at its current level, which is 16 percent of sales. FD plans to pay dividends equal to $0.60 per share. It also plans to issue 70,000 shares of new common stock, which will raise $460,000. Estimate the additional funds needed (AFN) to achieve the forecasted sales next…

Kohwe Corporation plans to finance a new investment with leverage. Kohwe Corporation plans to borrow $49.3 million to finance the new investment. The firm will pay interest only on this loan each year, and it will maintain an outstanding balance of $49.3 million on the loan. After making the investment, Kohwe expects to earn free cash flows of $10.7 million each year. However, due to reduced sales and other financial distress costs, Kohwe's expected free cash flows will decline to $9.7 million per year. Kohwe currently has 4.6 million shares outstanding, and it has no other assets or opportunities. Assume that the appropriate discount rate for Kohwe's future free cash flows is 7.9% and Kohwe's corporate tax rate is 40%. What is Kohwe's share price today given the financial distress costs of leverage? The price per share is $23.01 per share. (Round to the nearest cent.) C
