A food processing company is considering replacing essential
machinery. Cost and relevant cash flow details are provided in
the table at the right. The company requires an 11% return on
its capital.
a) What is the present value of the yearly cash flows? Use a
Time Value of Money function for full credit. (round to nearest
dollar)
b) What is the net present value of the project? (round to
nearest dollar)
c) What is the internal rate of return of the project? Use a
Time Value of Money function for full credit. (round to two
decimal places)
Barnsa is planning to raise a total of $5,000,000 with a
bond issue. Each of the bonds has a face (par) value of $1,000
and coupon rate of 4%. The company's applicable tax rate is
21%.
a) What is the annual coupon payment, per bond, that

A team of analysts is using a two-stage variable growth model to
estimate the value of GNC's common stock. The most recent
annual dividend paid by GNC was $4 per share. The analysts
expect dividends to increase 7% per year for the next 3 years
and then drop to 3% starting in year 4 and remain at that rate
for the foreseable future. The required rate of return used for
the analysis is 8%.
a) What are the expected dividends for the next 4 years?
b) What is the value of the stock attributable to the first 3 years
of dividends? (use NPV function)
c) What is the value of the stock at the end of year 3? (use
constant-growth model) Use a cell reference in the numerator to
get an unrounded, more precise, answer figure.
d) What is the value of the stock attributable to years 4 and
beyond? (use pv function, where answer to part C is the fv)
e) What is the total value of GNC stock?
