The two machines have the following costs: Year Machine A Machine B $42,500 10,500 10,500 10,500 + replace $52,500 9,000 9,000 9,000 9,000 + replace 4 These costs are expressed in real terms. Suppose that technological change is expected to reduce costs by 10% per year. There will be new machines in year 1 that cost 10% less to buy and operate than A and B. In year 2, there will be a second crop of new machines incorporating a further 10% reduction, and so on. Suppose you are Borstal's financial manager. If you had to buy one or the other machine and rent it to the production manager for that machine's economic life, what annual rental payment would you have to charge at the end of the first year and how would this alter in subsequent years given the expected technological changes?

- The Patel Company has several financial issues to solve. As the company’s Financial Analyst you have been asked to answer the following 2 questions: Their bank will lend them $100,000 for 90 days at a cost of $1,200 interest. What is the company’s effective annual rate? A major supplier has granted credit terms of 1/10 N120. Assuming the company can borrow any amount of money at the rate you have calculated above (in part 1), should the company take the discount? (Your answer must be supported with a calculation of the cost of not taking the discount – using either simple or effective annual rate)arrow_forwardThe Angell Company has earned $150,000 before taxes during each of the last 15 years, and it expects to earn $150,000 per year before taxes in the future. This year, however, the firm incurred a loss of $650,000. It will claim a tax credit at the time it files this year’s income tax return, and it will receive a check from the U.S. Treasury. Show how Angell calculates this credit, and then indicate the firm’s tax liability for each of the next five years.

- Moonlight Industries just signed a sales contract with a new customer. JK will receive annual payments in the amount of $50,000, $96,000, $123,000, and $138,000 at the end of Years 1 to 4, respectively. What is this contract worth at the end of Year 4 if the firm earns 3.75 percent on its savings? Can the excel and calculator solution be provided?arrow_forwardYou acquired the following capitals for your own business. $100,000 comes from your family, which is interest free. $200,000 comes from your best friend. He charges you 4% APR for the loan. $300,000 comes from a bank as a 10 year note. The bank charges you 7.5% APR for the loan. Assume there is no tax, what is your WACC? (Please round up your answers to two decimals and write in percentage points. e.g. If your answer is 8.7896%, type 8.79 without the percentage sign)arrow_forwardNow assume that it is several years later. The brothers are concerned about the firm’s current credit terms of net 30, which means that contractors buying building products from the firm are not offered a discount and are supposed to pay the full amount in 30 days. Gross sales are now running $1,000,000 a year, and 80% (by dollar volume) of the firm’s paying customers generally pay the full amount on Day 30; the other 20% pay, on average, on Day 40. Of the firm’s gross sales, 2% ends up as bad-debt losses. The brothers are now considering a change in the firm’s credit policy. The change would entail: (1) changing the credit terms to 2/10, net 20, (2) employing stricter credit standards before granting credit, and (3) enforcing collections with greater vigor than in the past. Thus, cash customers and those paying within 10 days would receive a 2% discount, but all others would have to pay the full amount after only 20 days. The brothers believe the discount would both attract additional customers and encourage some existing customers to purchase more from the firm—after all, the discount amounts to a price reduction. Of course, these customers would take the discount and hence would pay in only 10 days. The net expected result is for sales to increase to $1,100,000; for 60% of the paying customers to take the discount and pay on the 10th day; for 30% to pay the full amount on Day 20; for 10% to pay late on Day 30; and for bad-debt losses to fall from 2% to 1% of gross sales. The firm’s operating cost ratio will remain unchanged at 75%, and its cost of carrying receivables will remain unchanged at 12%. To begin the analysis, describe the four variables that make up a firm’s credit policy and explain how each of them affects sales and collections.arrow_forward
- Your firm sells for cash only, but it is thinking of offering credit, allowing customers 90 days to pay. Customers understand the time value of money, so they would all walt and pay on the 90th day. To carry these receivables, you would have to borrow funds from your bank at a nominal 8%, dally compounding based on a 360-day year. You want to increase your base prices by exactly enough to offset your bank interest cost. To the closest whole percentage point, by how much should you raise your product prices? Do not round Intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. %arrow_forwardIn one year: Firm XYZ will earn $90 if its businesses perform well. The Firm owes a $60 payment to its creditors in one year.If the Firm's businesses perform poorly next year, then its earnings will only be $60. In this case, its payment to the creditors will be $45 because of the direct costs of bankruptcy.The chance that the Firm's businesses will perform well or poorly in one year equals 50%. The interest rate on the Firm's debt is 3%. The creditors are fully aware of these possible future outcomes. How should they evaluate this debt? To answer this question, first, the math shows that the creditors expect to receive _________ from the Firm next year. Then, one can calculate that the current value of debt equals _________.arrow_forwardSuppose a company invests in a $50,000 United States Treasury bill at 3.35% interest for 28 days.
