- MGMT2023 - Financial Management 1-UWI Open Campus Stephanie Carter has been gifted a sum of $50,000 by her grandparents on completing her graduation successfully. She is a fresh finance graduate and is excited to invest some money in the capital market, for which she intends to use the gifted sum of $50,000. However, instead of committing this money to the market immediately, she decides to wait for some time, work in the field and acquire some experience before proceeding with her intended investment. She thus contemplates an extremely conservative investment in a portfolio of stocks and bonds, at the start of year 5 from now. For now, she will leave the $50,000 in a fixed deposit with the bank which promises an interest rate of 6% per annum. She will require a return of at least 9% on her stock investments and 4% on bond investments. Stephanie would have to pay 25% taxes on any interest income. Dividends will be tax-free. Stephanie's research has allowed her to narrow down on the…arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Singing Fish Fine Foods is considering two potential projects for the funds. Each will cost $2,000,000 for capital investments. Project 1 is updating the deli section of the store for additional food service. The estimated annual after-tax cash flow of this project is $600,000 per year for the next five years. Project 2 is updating the store’s wine section. The estimated annual after-tax cash flow for this project is $530,000 for the next six years. The appropriate discount rate for the deli expansion is 9.5% and the appropriate discount rate for the wine section is 9.0%. If the two projects are independent, use the NPV to determine which project(s) Singing Fish should choose for the store. Question 1: For each project, adjust the NPV for unequal lives with the equivalent annual annuity. Enter the highest equivalent annuity payment.arrow_forwardSUBJECT: ENGINEERING ECONOMICS INSTRUCTION: Answer the following questions by including the appropriate cash flow diagrams, solution, and final answer. 1.

- OPTIMAL CAPITAL STRUCTURE Assume that you have just been hired as business manager of Campus Deli(CD) , Which os located adjeacent to the campus. Sales were $1,100,000 last year variable costs were 60% of sales and fixed costs were $40,000. Therefore, EBIT totaled $400,000. Because the university's enrollment is capped, EBIT is expected to be constant over time. Because no expansion capital is required, CD distributes all earnings as dividends. Invested capital is $2 million, and 80,000 shares are outstanding. The management group owns about 50% if the stock, which is traded in the over-the counter market. CD currently has no debt-it is an all-equity firm- and its 80,000 shares outstanding sell at a price of $25 per share, which is also the book value. The firms federal-plus-state tax rate is 40% on the basis of statement made in your finance text, you belive that CD's shareholders would be better off if some debt financing were used.

Estimated benefits are $0 in Year 1 and $100,000 each year in Years 2, 3, and 4. Use a 9 percent discount rate, and round the discount factors to two decimal places.
