Chapter 15, Problem 15.5BYP
Communication Case 15–5
Where’s the gain?
Appendix
General Tools is seeking ways to maintain and improve cash balances. As company controller, you have proposed the sale and leaseback of much of the company’s equipment. As seller-lessee, General Tools would retain the right to essentially all of the remaining use of the equipment. The term of the lease would be six years.
You previously convinced your CFO of the cash flow benefits of the arrangement, but now he doesn’t understand the way you will account for the transaction. “I really had counted on that gain on the sale portion of the transaction to bolster this period’s earnings. What gives?” he wondered. “Put it in a memo, will you? I’m having trouble following what you’re saying to me.”
Required:
Write a memo to your CFO. Include discussion of each of these points:
1. How the transaction should be accounted for.
2. Why General Tools will not get the gain the CFO had counted on.

- Problem 21-11 Deposits in Leasing The Wildcat Oil Company is trying to decide whether to lease or buy a new computer- assisted drilling system for its oil exploration business. Management has decided that it must use the system to stay competitive; it will provide $2.6 million in annual pretax cost savings. The system costs $7.7 million and will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life, after which it will be worthless. Wildcat's tax rate is 21 percent and the firm can borrow at 6 percent. Lambert Leasing Company has offered to lease the drilling equipment to Wildcat for payments of $1,660,000 per year. Lambert's policy is to require its lessees to make payments at the start of the year. Suppose Lambert requires Wildcat to pay a $790,000 security deposit at the inception of the lease. Calculate the NAL with the security deposit.

- QUESTION 3 The executive management at Xuixa Ltd has decided to introduce a new product line. To achieve this, management has to invest in one of two (2) types of equipment. Option 1 The equipment ‘R’ will cost P200, 000 and is expected to have a life span of five (5) years with no residual value. The company would need to incur a cost of P40, 000 for safe disposal of the equipment at the end of its life span. It is estimated the equipment could yield net returns of P50, 000 in the first three years and net returns of P40, 000 in the last two years. Option 2 The equipment ‘S’ will cost 350,000 and its estimated useful life is four years. There will be no residual value. Acquiring this equipment will involve additional cost of training of P30, 000 for staff that will operate the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment could yield net returns of P80, 000 in the first year, P120, 000 in years 2-3 and P100, 000 in year 4.

The product development manager has recommended this production opportunity for consideration at the company's board. She believes that the new product perfectly fits the firm's strategic plan. The new product has already attracted the strong interest of a rival business, and if XYZ Ltd decides not to go ahead with production, it can sell the patent rights to the competitor for £160,000. The marketing manager has suggested that annual revenues will depend on whether the demand for the new product is weak or strong, forecasting the following levels of annual demand and the independent probability of each level of demand for the two years of the project's life: Year 1 Year 2 Probability Sales (units) 350,000 Probability Sales (units) 450,000 0.2 0.3 350,000 200,000 90,000 0.3 300,000 100,000 90,000 0.3 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.2 Manufacture of the new product…arrow_forwardProblem 10.24Blanda Incorporated management is considering investing in two alternative production systems.

- Question 20 Arrow Electronics is considering Projects S and L, which are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. Project S has an initial cost of $1 million and cash inflows of $370,000 for 4 years, while Project L has an initial cost of $2 million and cash inflows of $720,000 for 4 years. The CEO wants to use the IRR criterion, while the CFO favors the NPV method, using a WACC of 6.67%. You were hired to advise the firm on the best procedure. If the wrong decision criterion is used, how much potential value would the firm lose? That is, what is the difference between the NPVs for these two projects? Your answer should be between 112000 and 202000, rounded to even dollars (although decimal places are okay), with no special characters. 1,000,000arrow_forwardProblem 11.9: You recently went to work for Allied Components Company, a supplier 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 an assignment that includes the estimated cash flows for two proposed projects. The project's are related to the firm's ignition system line, but you are unsure if the projects are independent or mutually exclusive so ranking the two projects would be helpful. Allied requires a rate of return on projects like this of 14 percent and a maximum payback period of 4 years. The cash flows for the two projects are provided below and to prepare your analysis you have decided to do the following: 1. Calculate the payback period, NPV and IRR for both projects. 2. If you assume the two projects are independent - that is, that both could be accepted if both are acceptable, evaluate the two projects' acceptability using all three decision…arrow_forwardProblem 9 A contractor is considering the following three alternatives: a.

The system should last 6 years. c. Purchase a used microcomputer system for $8,200. It is expected to last 3 with no salvage value. Use a common-multiple-of-lives approach.

The plane is expected to have a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The second plane costs $40,040,000, it will enable the company to increase annual cash flow by $9.100,000 per year.

Since the Company's inception in 1956, the Company continued to restore the lands affected by its mining activities Management Expects restoration costs to be P2,000,000. Discount rates for similar instruments are as follows: 8% for 2 years and 12% for 10 years. On December 21, 2020, Machu was being sued by one of another corporation over a patent infringement. The Company's legal counsel finds it probable that Machu will be liable for P2.00,000 damages. Machu has a P5,000,000 comprehensive insurance which covers these type of situations. The insurance has a P300,000 deductible clause.
