Aurillo Equipment Company (AEC) projected that its ROE for next year would be just 6 percent.However, the financial staff has determined that the firm can increase its ROE by refinancing somehigh interest bonds currently outstanding. The firm’s total debt will remain at $200,000 and the debtratio will hold constant at 80 percent, but the interest rate on the refinanced debt will be 10 percent.The rate on the old debt is 14 percent. Refinancing will not affect sales, which are projected to be$300,000. EBIT will be 11 percent of sales and the firm’s tax rate is 40 percent.

Option 2: Raise prices by 50%. If this occurs, there is a 75% chance that an Entrepreneur will set up in competition this year. The board’s estimate of its annual profit in this situation would be as follows: 2A: With new competitor 2B: Without new competitor Probability Profit (Sh.) Probability Profit (Sh.) 0.25 150,000 0.5 200,000 0.5 120,000 0.3 150,000 0.25 80,000 0.2 100,000 Option 3: Expand the car park quickly at a cost of Sh. 50,000 keeping prices theSame. The profits are then estimated to be like 2B above, except that the probabilities would be 0.6, 0.3 and 0.1 respectively. Required: Draw a decision tree for the above problem, including all the relevant data. Using expected values analyze the decision tree and recommend the best option to the owners of the car park.
A project will cost $45,000 to develop.• When the system becomes operational after a one-year development period, operational costs willbe $9,000 during each year of the system’s five-year useful life.• The system will produce benefits of $30,000 in the first year of operation, and this figure willincrease by a compound 10% each year.What is the payback period for this project?
Ruth Company currently has $1,000,000 in accounts receivable. Its days sales outstanding (DSO) is 50days. The company wants to reduce its DSO to the industry average of 32 days by pressuring more ofits customers to pay their bills on time. The company’s CFO estimates that if this policy is adopted thecompany’s average sales will fall by 10 percent. Assuming that the company adopts this change andsucceeds in reducing its DSO to 32 days and does lose 10 percent of its sales, what will be the level ofaccounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365-day year.

Please answer d, e and f. Question 2 A company is considering a project which has three options. The payoffs are shown in the body of the table. In this instance, the payoffs are in terms of present values, which represent equivalent current dollar values of expected future income less costs. This is a convenient measure because it places all alternatives on a comparable basis. If a small facility is built, the payoff will be the same for all three possible states of nature. For a medium facility, low demand will have a present value of $7 million, whereas both moderate and high demand will have present values of $12 million. A large facility will have a loss of $4 million if demand is low, a present value of $2 million if demand is moderate, and a present value of $16 million if demand is high. The payoff table depicting revenues and is shown in the following table. payoffs (PV inmillions) states ofnature Option Low Moderate High Small 10 10 10 Medium 7 12 12 Large -4…
The graphs shows the amount being paid in Social Security benefits and the amount going into the system. In 2004, the system’s income was $575 billion, projected to increase at an average rate of $43 billion per year. In which year will the system’s income be $1177 billion?The data for the system’s outflow can be modeled by the formulaB = 0.07x2 + 47.4x + 500,where B represents the amount paid in benefits, in billions of dollars, x years after 2004. According to this model, when willthe amount paid in benefits be $1177 billion? Round to the nearest year. How well do your answers model the data shown by the graphs?
An airline studied the data from their passenger records and noted that their customers turn up only about 95% of the time. A flight can accommodate 40 passengers and each seat costs 4,000 Php.
