Suppose you obtain a five-year lease for a Porsche and negotiate a selling price of $157,000. the annual interest-rate is 8.4%, the residual value is $76,000, and you make a down payment of $5000. Find each of the following. A) the net capitalized cost B) the money factor (round to 4 decimal places) C) the average monthly finance charge (round to the nearest cent) D) the average monthly depreciation (round to the nearest cent) and E) the monthly lease amount (round to the nearest cent)
Suppose your firm is seeking a three-year, amortizing $400,000 loan with annual payments, and your bank is offering you the choice between a loan of $415,000 with a compensating balance of $15,000 and a loan of $400,000 without a compensating balance. The interest rate on the $400,000 loan is 9.5 percent. How low would the interest rate on the loan with the compensating balance have to be for you to choose it? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Interest rate 8.73 %
A small business has determined that the machinery they currently use will wear out in 17 years. To replace the new machine when it wears out, the company wants to establish a savings account today. If the interest rate on the account is 1.1 percent per quarter and the cost of the machinery will be $255,000, how much will the company have to deposit today?
Consider a firm A that wishes to acquire an equipment. The equipment is expected to reduce costs by $5700 per year. The equipment costs $29000 and has a useful life of 7 years. If the firm buys the equipment, they will depreciate it straight-line to zero over 7 years and dispose of it for nothing. They can lease it for 7 years with an annual lease payment of $8000. If the after-tax interest rate on secured debt issued by company A is 7% and tax rate is 25%, what is the Net Advantage to Leasing (NAL)?(keep two decimal places) Answer: -18233.59
a. Renting a machine will need monthly payments of $6,000 for the next 5 years (i.e., at t = 1, 2, …, 60). However,if we choose to buy the machine today,which is (t = 0) will cost $320,000. Assume the machine's value is zero after 5 years. It is possible to borrow and lend at a semi-annually compounded interest rate of 6% (APR). Would it be better to buy or to lease? Explain. b.We are currently at year 0. It is worthy to note that there is a perpetuity that pays $250 at the end of each odd year and $150 at the end of each even year. The term structure is flat at 10% per year. Evaluate the present value of this perpetuity. c.Assume the CAPM is valid.The return on asset ABC is perfectly correlated with the return on market portfolio. Your friend makes the following statetment: a portfolio that had a dollar invested and at the same time,shorting one dollar of the market portfolio will have no systematic risk. Comment on this and whether it is feasible.
Please answer the following showing detailed working: Bruce & Co. expects its EBIT to be $100,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 11 percent.

Your company has an opportunity to invest in four companies. You are trying todetermine which of these investments make sense. Your company has a 9% cost ofcapital. It will invest in these companies and receive an annual cash dividend eachyear starting one year after the investment. At the end of the term of investment, theinvestment will be scrapped with no salvage value. (a) Determine the internal rate ofreturn for each investment. Round off to the nearest integer discount rate, withdetailed calculation process. (b)Which investments would you recommend yourcompany make?
Suppose you bought a condo for $100,000 financing it with a $20,000 down payment of your own funds and an $80,000 mortgage loan from a bank. Assume that the market value of your condo has now risen to $120,000. Ignoring interest and other costs, and assuming the loan amount is still $80,000, calculate your rate of return on your asset (ROA) and your rate of return on equity (ROE).
