Interpreting Cash Flows from Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities
Quantum Dots, Inc., is a nanotechnology company that manufactures “quantum dots,” which are tiny pieces of silicon consisting of 100 or more molecules. Quantum dots can be used to illuminate very small objects, enabling scientists to see the blood vessels beneath a mouse’s skin ripple with each heartbeat, at the rate of 100 times per second. Evaluate this research-intensive company’s cash flows, assuming the following was reported in its statement of cash flows.

ARCI Instruments manufactures a ventilation controller designed for monitoring and controlling carbon monoxide in parking garages, boiler rooms, tunnels, etc. The net cash flow associated with one phase of the operation is shown on the next page. (a) How many possible rate of returnvalues are there for this cash flow series? (b) Find all the rate of return values between 0 and 100% using tabulated factors and a spreadsheet.
A new advertising campaign by a company that manufactures products that rely on biometrics, surveillance, and satellite technologies resulted in the cash flows shown (in $1000 units). Develop one spreadsheet that displays the following: external rate of return using both the ROIC method with ir = 30% per year, and the modified ROR approach with ir = 30% and ib = 10% per year; and the unique or multiple internal rate of return value(s) indicated by the two multiple-root sign tests.
You recently went to work for Allied Components Company, a sup-plier of auto repair parts used in the after-market with products from Daimler AG, Ford, Toyota, and other automakers. Your boss, the chief financial officer (CFO), has just handed you the estimated cash flows for two proposed projects. Project L involves adding a new item to the firm’s ignition system line; it would take some time to build up the market for this product, so the cash inflows would increase over time. Project S involves an add-on to an existing line, and its cash flows would decrease over time. Both projects have 3-year lives because Allied is planning to introduce entirely new models after 3 years. Here are the projects’ after-tax cash flows (in thousands of dollars): 02 1 Project L Project S ⫺$100 ⫺$100 $10 $70 $60 $50 3 $80 $20 Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows.

- In the provided scenario, you address the time value of money also known as discounted cash flow analysis. This type of analysis is crucial to being able to viably analyze financial statements. The start - up firm you founded is trying to save $10, 000 in order to buy a parcel of land for a proposed small warehouse expansion. In order to do so, your finance manager is authorized to make deposits of S 1250 per year into the company account that is paying 12% annual interest. The last deposit will be less than $1250 if less is needed to reach $10,000. How many years will it take to reach the $10,000 goal and how large will the last deposit be?

- Cash management is a very important function of managers. Companies need to manage their operations in a way that they can sustain growth and yet not run out of cash. Consider the case of the Red Hamster Manufacturing Inc.: Red Hamster Manufacturing Inc. has forecasted sales of $30,000,000 for next year and expects its cost of goods sold (COGS) to remain at 80% of sales. Currently, the firm holds $2,800,000 in inventories, $2,200,000 in accounts receivable, and $2,600,000 in accounts payable. Approximately how long does it take Red Hamster Manufacturing to convert its raw materials to its finished products and then to sell those goods? (Note: Use 365 days as the length of a year in all calculations, and round all values to two decimal places.) a) 42.58 days b) 40.45 days c) 38.32 days d) 31.94 days On average, it takes (___) from the time a sale is made until the time cash is collected from customers.

OA’s work resulted in unit sales estimates of 318,331, 341,342, 368,769, 383,432, and 376,532 units respectively for the next five years conditioned on Ljutic adhering to an average sales price of $568 per unit for the first two years and $387 in years three, four, and five. From that point going forward, growth in unit sales is predicted to be 2.72% indefinitely. The results of an independent outside analysis by a leading market research firm has determined that the company can manufacture its product line at a variable cost per unit expected to be $63.47 growing at 2.23% per year for the first 5 years and 3.17% per year indefinitely thereafter while overall fixed costs are estimated to be $10,482,000 annually for the…arrow_forwardOptimal Cash Transfer Barenbaum Industries projects that cash outlays of 4.5 million will occur uniformly throughout the year.
