This requires an investment of about $500 000 to finance capital assets and about $300 000 for additional working capital. Donatello has managed the firm without debt so far. His bank suggested: A loan guarantee by Donatello Metals based on specific business assets and a personal guarantee of the debt by Donatello. The bank also stated that if there is a personal guarantee, the company will only require a review engagement. If the loan is only secured by corporate assets, an audit of the company will be required. Donatello understands the differences between the guarantees but is not sure about the difference between a review and an audit engagement.

- A large pet-food manufacturer is considering buying a small boutique cat food business to add to their portfolio of pet foods. The head of the finance division has approached you, a recent TWU graduate, to conduct a financial analysis to determine the value of the cat food business, or the most the pet-food manufacturer should pay to acquire the cat food business.

The cost of equity is 15 percent and the cost of debt is 3 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm’s capital structure consists of 10 million in equity and 8 million in debt.

The company’s current balance sheet, re-stated to reflect market values, has been converted to percentages as shown in the table below.

- Gibson Delivery is a small company that transports business packages between New York and Chicago. It operates a fleet of small vans that moves packages to and from a central depot within each city and uses a common carrier to deliver the packages between the depots in the two cities. Gibson Delivery recently acquired approximately $7.0 million of cash capital from its owners, and its president, George Hay, is trying to identify the most profitable way to invest these funds. Todd Payne, the company's operations manager, believes that the money should be used to expand the fleet of city vans at a cost of $820,000. He argues that more vans would enable the company to expand its services into new markets, thereby increasing the revenue base. More specifically, he expects cash inflows to increase by $260,000 per year. The additional vans are expected to have an average useful life of four years and a combined salvage value of $101,000. Operating the vans will require additional working…arrow_forwardHassan Mustafa has recently started his new job as a financial manager in a firm called ScanSoft. ScanSoft is developing a new process to manufacture optical disks. The development costs were higher than expected, so ScanSoft requires an immediate cash inflow of $5,200,000. To raise the required capital, the company decided to issue bonds. Since ScanSoft had no expertise in issuing and selling bonds, Hassan suggested that the company work with an investment dealer. The investment dealer bought the company's entire bond issue at a discount, and then planned to sell the bonds to the public at face value or the current market value. To ensure it would raise the $5,200,000 it required, ScanSoft plans to issue 5200 bonds with a face value of $1000 each, on January 20, 2021. Interest is paid semi-annually on July 20 and January 20, beginning July 20, 2021. The bonds pay interest at 5.5% compounded semi- annually. Hassan Mustafa realized that when the bonds mature on January 20, 2041, there…arrow_forwardOrca Industries is considering the purchase of Shark Manufacturing.
