- Dawn is preparing a home office to perform subcontract projects for midsized architect firms. She plans to use $13,000 of her own funds, which currently generate a return of 4% per year. The remainder of financing will be provided by a $9,000 bank loan carrying a 9% per year interest rate. She hopes to realize a return of 3% above the average cost of capital to establish her office, and she realizes that the factors of inflation and risk should also be considered. Her decision is to add another 1.5% per year to compensate for these elements. What is the MARR she should use when evaluating projects? the Marr she should use is __%As the CFO of Regency Health Care, one of Allison's primary responsibilities is to set the hurdle rate to use in evaluating future projects. Her approach is to set the hurdle rate at 12% more than the company's cost of capital, rounded to the next whole number. For the next year, she projects that the company's capital will be 60% debt with an overall interest rate of 4.25%, net of taxes. She knows that the private equity company that owns most of Regency's stock expects a return of 22% on its investment. With this information irfmind, Allison decides that next year's hurdle rate will beYou are an accountant for the Davanzo Company. The president of the company calls you into her office and says, "I want to ask you about two issues. First, we need to sell one of our investments to raise $1 million because I think I have found a better investment. We could sell the shares of Company X, which are currently worth $1 million even though they have an amortized cost basis $950,000. But I don't want to sell them, because I like the steady stream of cash flow we get related to interest. Or we could sell the bonds in that dog, Company Z. These bonds are also worth $1 million, but they cost us $1.2 million. I hate to admit we made such a big mistake, and if they can somehow avoid bankruptcy, we may actually recover our investment. And then there's that loss. I don't want to report that. Second, I am going to use the $1 million to buy about 20% of the shares of Company M, but I seem to remember that there is some accounting rule that might affect how much we buy. I was also…

- Kayla was very impressed with the cash budget/projections that you prepared for her and she has now hired you to evaluate her working capital management strategy and recommend the optimal policy mix. Kayla's Kayaks has $500,000 in assets. If she goes with a low-liquidity plan for the assets, she can earn 17%, but with a high-liquidity plan, the return will be 14%. If she goes with a short-term financing plan, the financing costs on the $500,000 will be 10%, and with a long-term financing plan, the financing costs on the $500,000 will be 12%. Given these facts, Kayla wants to know the anticipated return after financing costs with the most aggressive, most conservative, and moderate asset financing mixes. Please calculate these amounts for Kayla, explain the advantages and disadvantages of each mix, and provide a recommendation as to which mix you believe Kayla should choose (with an explanation as to why you chose that mix).Suppose she believes that the cash revenues from a new project will be $20,000 per year, assuming everything goes as expected.
