- Fenton, Inc., has established a new strategic plan that calls for new capital investment. The company has a 9.8% required rate of return and an 8.3% cost of capital. Fenton currently has a return of 10% on its other investments. The proposed new investments have equal annual cash inflows expected. Management used a screening procedure of calculating a payback period for potential investments and annual cash flows, and the IRR for the 7 possible investments are displayed in image. Each investment has a 6-year expected useful life and no salvage value. A. Identify which project(s) is/are unacceptable and briefly state the conceptual justification as to why each of your choices is unacceptable. B. Assume Fenton has $330,000 available to spend. Which remaining projects should Fenton invest in and in what order? C. If Fenton was not limited to a spending amount, should they invest in all of the projects given the company is evaluated using return on investment?Begin with the partial model in the file Ch02 P21 Build a Model.xlsx on the textbooks Web site. a. Using the financial statements shown here for Lan Chen Technologies, calculate net operating working capital, total net operating capital, net operating profit after taxes, free cash flow, and return on invested capital for 2020. The federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%. b. Assume there were 15 million shares outstanding at the end of 2019, the year-end closing stock price was 65 per share, and the after-tax cost of capital was 10%. Calculate EVA and MVA for 2020.

- LONG-TERM FINANCING NEEDED At year-end 2019, total assets for Arrington Inc. were 1.8 million and accounts payable were 450,000. Sales, which in 2019 were 3.0 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2020. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained; that is, they will grow at the same rate as sales. Arrington typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to 500,000 in 2019, and retained earnings were 475,000. Arrington plans to sell new common stock in the amount of 130,000. The firms profit margin on sates is 5%; 35% of earnings will be retained. a. What were Arringtons total liabilities in 2019? b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2020? (Hint: AFN - New stock = New long-term debt.)Clearcast Communications Inc. is considering allocating a limited amount of capital investment funds among four proposals. The amount of proposed investment, estimated operating income, and net cash flow for each proposal are as follows: The companys capital rationing policy requires a maximum cash payback period of three years. In addition, a minimum average rate of return of 12% is required on all projects. If the preceding standards are met, the net present value method and present value indexes are used to rank the remaining proposals. Instructions 1. Compute the cash payback period for each of the four proposals. 2. Giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investments and assuming no estimated residual value, compute the average rate of return for each of the four proposals. Round to one decimal place. 3. Using the following format, summarize the results of your computations in parts (1) and (2). By placing the computed amounts in the first two columns on the left and by placing a check mark in the appropriate column to the right, indicate which proposals should be accepted for further analysis and which should be rejected. 4. For the proposals accepted for further analysis in part (3), compute the net present value. Use a rate of 12% and the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. 5. Compute the present value index for each of the proposals in part (4). Round to two decimal places. 6. Rank the proposals from most attractive to least attractive, based on the present values of net cash flows computed in part (4). 7. Rank the proposals from most attractive to least attractive, based on the present value indexes computed in part (5). 8. Based on the analyses, comment on the relative attractiveness of the proposals ranked in parts (6) and (7).Project S has a cost of $10,000 and is expected to produce benefits (cash flows) of $3,000 per year for 5 years. Project L costs $25,000 and is expected to produce cash flows of $7,400 per year for 5 years. Calculate the two projects’ NPVs, IRRs, MIRRs, and PIs, assuming a cost of capital of 12%. Which project would be selected, assuming they are mutually exclusive, using each ranking method? Which should actually be selected?
