a. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the most aggressive asset financing mix.
b. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the most conservative asset financing mix.
c. Compute the anticipated return after financing costs with the two moderate approaches to the asset financing mix.
d. If the firm used the most aggressive asset financing mix described in part a and had the anticipated return you computed for part a, what would earnings per share be if the tax rate on the anticipated return was 30 percent and there were 20,000 shares outstanding?
e. Now assume the most conservative asset financing mix described in part b will be utilized. The tax rate will be 30 percent. Also assume there will only be 5,000 shares outstanding. What will earnings per share be? Would it be higher or lower than the earnings per share computed for the most aggressive plan computed in part d?
a.
To calculate: The anticipated return, after deducting the finance costs, with the most aggressive approach of the asset financing mix.
Introduction:
Anticipated return:
It is the amount that an individual or company has estimated to earn from an investment. It is one of the factors taken into account by an investor before selecting an investment plan.
Aggressive approach:
When a company selects a plan of low liquidity with high return and long-term financing, it is termed as an aggressive approach.
Answer to Problem 11P
The anticipated return, after deducting the finance costs, with the most aggressive approach of the asset financing mix is $50,400.
Explanation of Solution
The calculation of the anticipated return is as follows.
Working notes:
The calculation of the return from the low liquidity plan is as follows.
The calculation of the finance cost of short-term financing is as follows.
b.
To calculate: The anticipated return, after deducting the finance costs, with the most conservative approach of the asset financing mix.
Introduction:
Conservative approach:
When a company selects a plan of high liquidity with low return and short-term financing, it is termed as a conservative approach.
Answer to Problem 11P
The anticipated return, after deducting the finance costs, with the most conservative approach of the asset financing mix is $8,400.
Explanation of Solution
The calculation of the anticipated return is as follows.

c.
To calculate: The anticipated return, after deducting the finance costs, with the two moderate approaches of the asset financing mix.
Introduction:
Moderate approach:
When a company selects a plan of low liquidity with high return and short-term financing or one of high liquidity with low return and long-term financing, it is termed as a moderate approach.
Answer to Problem 11P
The anticipated return, after deducting the finance costs, with the moderate approach of the low liquidity plan and long-term financing of the asset financing mix is $33,600.
The anticipated return, after deducting the finance costs, with the moderate approach of the high liquidity plan and short-term financing of the asset financing mix is $25,200.
Explanation of Solution
Anticipated return in the moderate approach of the low liquidity plan and long-term financing of the asset financing mix:
The calculation of the anticipated return is as follows.
Working notes:
The calculation of the return from the low liquidity plan is as follows.
The calculation of the finance costs of long-term financing is as follows.
Anticipated return in the moderate approach of the high liquidity plan and short-term financing of the asset financing mix:
The calculation of the anticipated return is as follows.
Working notes:
The calculation of the return from the high-liquidity plan is as follows.
The calculation of the finance costs of short-term financing is as follows.
d.
To calculate: The earnings per share if Atlas Sporting Goods Inc. uses the aggressive approach of the asset financing mix with the anticipated return computed in part (a).
Introduction:
Earnings per share:
It is a measurement of the company's profitability. It is calculated by dividing the net income less dividend paid for the prefernece stock by the average number of outstanding shares.
Answer to Problem 11P
The calculation of the earnings per share is as follows.
If Atlas Sporting Goods Inc. uses the aggressive approach of the asset financing mix with the anticipated return computed in part (a), its earnings per share is $1.76.
Explanation of Solution
The calculation of the earnings per share using Excel is as follows.
e.
To calculate: The earnings per share if Atlas Sporting Goods Inc. uses the conservative approach of the asset financing mix with the anticipated return computed in part (b) as well as to check whether it is higher or lower than the earnings per share computed in part (d).
Introduction:
Earnings per share:
It is a measurement of the company's profitability. It is calculated by dividing the net income less dividend paid for the preference stock by the average number of outstanding shares.
Answer to Problem 11P
The calculation of the earnings per share is as follows.
If Atlas Sporting Goods Inc. uses the conservative approach of the asset financing mix with the anticipated return computed in part (b), its earnings per share is $1.18.
The earnings per share by the conservative approach of the asset financing mix, that is, $1.18 is lower that by the aggressive approach of the asset financing mix, that is, $1.97.
Explanation of Solution
The formula used for the calculation of the earnings per share using Excel is as follows.

What is the regular payback period for each of the projects? b. What is the discounted payback period for each of the projects? c. If the two projects are independent and the cost of capital is 10%, which project or projects should the firm undertake? d. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 5%, which project should the firm undertake? e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 15%, which project should the firm undertake? f. What is the crossover rate? g.

The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment.

- Ogier Incorporated currently has $800 million in sales, which are projected to grow by 10% in Year 1 and by 5% in Year 2. Its operating profitability ratio (OP) is 10%, and its capital requirement ratio (CR) is 80%? What are the projected sales in Years 1 and 2?

Wansley estimates that the paper company would provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of capital for the paper company is 13%. Should Wansley purchase the paper company? Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $30 million per year or $50 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2 in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Wansley can wait for 1 year and find out whether the cash flows will be $30 million per year or $50 million per year before deciding to purchase the company. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, if it waits to purchase, Wansley can no longer sell the company 2 years after purchase. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? If so, when?
