You work at International Soybeans and your boss, Brenda Thompson, knowing that you are taking SC1x, asks you to help her to choose the best route to transport soybeans from Brazil to China. She is currently considering two Brazilian ports to export the soybeans to Shanghai: Santos, located in the state of Sao Paulo, and Rio Grande, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It takes on average 1.4 months, with a standard deviation of 0.2 months, to transport soybeans from the port of Santos to Shanghai, and the transportation cost for this route is $ 32.6 per ton. Similarly, it takes 1.6 months to ship soybeans to Shanghai through the port of Rio Grande, with a standard deviation of 0.1 months, and the transportation cost of this route is $33.7 per ton.

You are to present an investment analysis of a small retail income-producing property for sale to a potential investor. The asking price for the property is $1,360,000; rents are estimated at $174,080 during the first year and are expected to grow at 2.5 percent per year thereafter.

What is the terminal capitalization rate? c. What is the investor’s expected before-tax internal rate of return on equity invested (BTIRR)? d.…

Twelve serious prospects for retail outlets have already been identified and committed to the firm. The firm’s software products have been tested and displayed at several trade shows and computer fairs in the perceived operating region. All that is lacking is adequate financing to continue with the project . A small group of private investors is interested in financing the company. Two financing proposals are being evaluated. (A 34% tax rate is appropriate for this analysis.) 1) Plan A is an all-ordinary share capital structure. ‒ $2m dollars would be raised by selling shares at $10 each. 2) Plan B would involve the use of financial leverage. ‒ $1m dollars would be raised selling bonds with an effective interest rate of 11% per annum. ‒ The remaining $1m would be raised by selling shares at the $10 price…
