Decision Case 13-1
Lena Kay and Kathy Lauder have a patent on a new line of cosmetics. They need additional capital to market the products, and they plan to incorporate the business. They are considering the capital structure for the corporation. Their primary goal is to raise as much capital as possible without giving up control of the business. Kay and Lauder plan to invest the patent (an intangible asset, which will be transferred to the company’s ownership in lieu of cash) in the company and receive 100,000 shares of the corporation’s common stock. They have been offered $100,000 for the patent, which provides an indication of the fair market value of the patent.
The corporation’s plans for a charter include an authorization to issue 5,000 shares of preferred stock and 500,000 shares of Si par common stock. Kay and Lauder are uncertain about the most desirable features for the preferred stock. Prior to incorporating, they are discussing their plans with two investment groups. The corporation can obtain capital from outside investors under either of the following plans:
- Plan 1. Group 1 will invest Si 50,000 to acquire 1,500 shares of 6%, $100 par nonvoting, noncumulative preferred stock.
- Plan 2. Group 2 will invest $100,000 to acquire 1,000 shares of $5, no-par preferred stock and $70,000 to acquire 70,000 shares or common stock. Each
preferred share receives 50 votes on matters that come before the common stockholders.

- #3 Dwight Donovan, the president of Benson Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, he will be able to invest in only one of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of four years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $103,000 and for Project B are $34,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $35,350 for Project A and $12,151 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next four years. Benson Enterprises’ desired rate of return is 6 percent. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)Required Compute the net present value of each project.

The product development manager has recommended this production opportunity for consideration at the company's board. She believes that the new product perfectly fits the firm's strategic plan. The new product has already attracted the strong interest of a rival business, and if XYZ Ltd decides not to go ahead with production, it can sell the patent rights to the competitor for £160,000. The marketing manager has suggested that annual revenues will depend on whether the demand for the new product is weak or strong, forecasting the following levels of annual demand and the independent probability of each level of demand for the two years of the project's life: Year 1 Year 2 Probability Sales (units) 350,000 Probability Sales (units) 450,000 0.2 0.3 350,000 200,000 90,000 0.3 300,000 100,000 90,000 0.3 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.2 Manufacture of the new product…arrow_forwardSubject: acountingarrow_forward
- Question 1 The TLC Yogurt Company has decided to capitalize on the exercise fad and plans to open an exercise facility in conjunction with its main yogurt and health foods store. To get the project under way, the company will rent additional space adjacent to its current store. The equipment required for the facility will cost $50,000. Shipping and installation charges for the equipment are expected to total $5,000. This equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its five-year economic life to an estimated salvage value of $0. In order to open the exercise facility, TLC estimates that it will have to add about $7,000 initially to its net working capital in the form of additional inventories of exercise supplies, cash, and accounts receivable for its exercise customers. In addition, TLC expects that it will have to add about $5,000 per year to its net working capital in years 1, 2, and 3 and nothing in years 4 and 5.
