Please select the option that best analyzes the WORKING CAPITAL for our example company.
The working capital represents the amount of current assets available to settle our current liabilities. Our example company will definitely be able to pay their current liabilities as they come due.
The working capital represents the amount of current assets available to settle our current liabilities. The current liabilities are not due for more than two years so our current asset amounts are inconsequential.
The working capital represents the amount of current assets available to settle our current liabilities. Our example company will be unable to pay their current liabilities as they come due.
The working capital represents the amount of current assets available to settle our current liabilities. We cannot determine if our example company will be able to pay their current liabilities as they come due.
b. What effect would a $10.2 million capital expense have on this year's earnings if the capital is depreciated at a rate
of $2.04 million per year for five years? What effect would it have on next year's earnings? (Select all the choices
that apply.)
A. Capital expenses do not affect earnings directly. However, the depreciation of $2.04 million would appear
each year as a capital expense.
B. Capital expenses do not affect earnings directly. However, the depreciation of $2.04 million would appear
each year as an operating expense.
C. With a reduction in taxes of 25% × $2.04 million = $0.51 million, earnings would be lower by
$2.04 million - $0.51 million = $1.53 million for each of the next 5 years.
D. With an increase in taxes of 25% × $2.04 million = $0.51 million, earnings would be higher by
$2.04 million - $0.51 million = $1.53 million for each of the next 5 years.

- You are the financial controller of Pack West (Pty) Ltd. Your company is experiencing difficulties with their cash flows owing to the Covid-19 uncertainty. At the end of April 2022, you noticed that the total sales of the company keep decreasing while the total cost are relatively stable, and you are worried that the company will not have sufficient funds to pay the salaries of R50 000 for April.You have the following historical information at your disposal:Total sales were R125 000 in January, R115 000 in February, and R110 000 and R95 000 for March and April, respectively. Historical information shows that 70% of the total sales are for cash and the debtors pay as follows:50% of the total debt one month after the sale, 30% in the following month and 20% in the third month after the sale.The total purchases for January were R100 000, R110 000 in February, and R100 000 and R105 000 for March and April, respectively. 30% of the total purchases are paid in cash and the rest of the…arrow_forwardSuppose the risk of the company changes based on an unanticipated decrease in the Free Cash Flows by 10% annually during the years 2015, 2016, and 2017.

- David Lyons, CEO of Lyons Solar Technologies, is concerned about his firms level of debt financing. The company uses short-term debt to finance its temporary working capital needs, but it does not use any permanent (long-term) debt. Other solar technology companies have debt, and Mr. Lyons wonders why they use debt and what its effects are on stock prices. To gain some insights into the matter, he poses the following questions to you, his recently hired assistant: e. Suppose the expected free cash flow for Year 1 is 250,000 but it is expected to grow faster than 7% during the next 3 years: FCF2 = 290,000 and FCF3 = 320,000, after which it will grow at a constant rate of 7%. The expected interest expense at Year 1 is 128,000, but it is expected to grow over the next couple of years before the capital structure becomes constant: Interest expense at Year 2 will be 152,000, at Year 3 it will be 192,000 and it will grow at 7% thereafter. What is the estimated horizon unlevered value of operations (i.e., the value at Year 3 immediately after the FCF at Year 3)? What is the current unlevered value of operations? What is the horizon value of the tax shield at Year 3? What is the current value of the tax shield? What is the current total value? The tax rate and unlevered cost of equity remain at 25% and 14%, respectively.arrow_forward5.1 Calculate the Payback Period (expressed in years, months and days). 5.2 Calculate the Accounting Rate of Return on average investment (expressed to two decimal places). 5.3 Identify TWO (2) reasons why the company should not use the accounting rate of return to evaluate capital investments. 5.4 Calculate the Net Present Value. 5.5 Calculate the Internal Rate of Return (expressed to two decimal places) if the net cash flows are R320 000 per year for five years. Your answer must include two net present value calculations (using consecutive rates/percentages) and interpolation.
