V5. Assume that Nike decides to build a new warehouse complex at significant cost, financed with additional project-specific long-term debt. Describe how this project and financing will impact Nike’s financial statements. In your response, focus on the impact on the ratios gross margin, profit margin, ROA, current ratio, and debt-to-equity Second, assume that management is wondering whether to capitalize the interest associated with the warehouse project’s financing. Describe how the financial statements will be impacted by the choice to capitalize interest or not. Also describe managements’ incentives to capitalize interest (or not to capitalize).
Which of the following statements is true? O The salvage value of new equipment should not be considered when using the internal rate of return method to evaluate a project. O The internal rate of return method assumes that the cash flows generated by a project are reinvested at a rate of return that equals the company's cost of capital. O The profitability index and the internal rate of return will always result in the same preference ranking for investment projects. O In calculating the profitability index, the initial investment in the project should be reduced by any proceeds from the sale of old equipment. O None of the above statements is true.

Problem 25-18 Valuing financial leases Nodhead College needs a new computer. It can either buy it for $285,000 or lease it from Compulease. The lease terms require Nodhead to make six annual payments (prepaid) of $69,000. Nodhead pays no tax. Compulease pays tax at 30%. Compulease can depreciate the computer for tax purposes straight-line over five years. The computer will have no residual value at the end of year 5. The interest rate is 10%. a. What is the NPV of the lease for Nodhead College? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Answer is complete and correct. Net present value (45,564) b. What is the NPV for Compulease? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
