Permian Partners (PP) produces from aging oil fields in west Texas. Production is 1.97 million barrels per year in 2018, but production is declining at 9% per year for the foreseeable future. Costs of production, transportation, and administration add up to $26.70 per barrel. The average oil price was $66.70 per barrel in 2018. PP has 8.7 million shares outstanding. The cost of capital is 11%. All of PP's net income is distributed as dividends. For simplicity, assume that the company will stay in business forever and that costs per barrel are constant at $26.70. Also, ignore taxes. a. Assume that oil prices are expected to fall to $61.70 per barrel in 2019, $56.70 per barrel in 2020, and $51.70 per barrel in 2021. After 2021, assume a long-term trend of oil-price increases at 7% per year. What is the ending 2018 value of one PP share? (Do not round intermediate calculations.

Cost of Capital, Net Present Value Leakam Companys product engineering department has developed a new product that has a 3-year life cycle. Production of the product requires development of a new process that requires a current 100,000 capital outlay. The 100,000 will be raised by issuing 60,000 of bonds and by selling new stock for 40,000. The 60,000 in bonds will have net (after-tax) interest payments of 3,000 at the end of each of the 3 years, with the principal being repaid at the end of Year 3. The stock issue carries with it an expectation of a 17.5% return, expressed in the form of dividends at the end of each year (with 7,000 in dividends expected for each of the next 3 years). The sources of capital for this investment represent the same proportion and costs that the company typically has. Finally, the project will produce after-tax cash inflows of 50,000 per year for the next 3 years. Required: 1. Compute the cost of capital for the project. (Hint: The cost of capital is a weighted average of the two sources of capital, where the weights are the proportion of capital from each source.) 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the NPV for the project. Explain why it is not necessary to subtract the interest payments and the dividend payments and appreciation from the inflow of 50,000 in carrying out this computation.

101 2018 CURRENT ASSETS INVESTMENT POLICY Rentz Corporation is investigating the optimal level of current assets for the coming year Management expects sales to increase to approximately $2 million as a result of an asset expansion presently being undertaken. Fixed assets total $1 million, and the firm plans to maintain a 60% debt-to- assets ratio. Rentz's interest rate is currently 8% on both short and long-term debt (which the firm uses in its permanent structure). Three alternatives regarding the projected current assets level are under consideration: (1) a restricted policy where current assets would be only 45% of projected sales, (2) a moderate policy where current assets would be 50% of sales, and (3) a relaxed policy where current assets would be 60% of sales. Earnings before interest and taxes should be 12% of total sales, and the federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. a. What is the expected return on equity under each current assets level? b. In this problem, we assume that…

QUESTION 10 A project will produce operating cash flows of $57,000 a year for 3 years. During the life of the project, inventory will be lowered by $10,000 and accounts receivable will increase by $20,000. Accounts payable will decrease by $5,000. The project requires the purchase of equipment at an initial cost of $90,000. The equipment will be salvaged at the end of the project creating a $17,000 after-tax cash inflow.
