@sultanakbar 1. Profit margin= Net income or net profit/ sales or revenues Return on equity=net income/ average total assets 0.06=net income/ 1.25 net income=0.06*1.25 net income=0.075 profit margin= 0.075/2.5 profit margin=0.3 2. Debt ratio= total liabilities/total assets current asset= 2:1 or 2/1, current liabilities=1 total liabilties= 1- return on equity total liabilities=1-0.09 total liabilities=0.91 debt ratio=0.91/2.5 debt ratio=0.364 Thats what i could do.

Here goes my next questions:
Q.1 Delta motors is considering one of two mutually exclusive projects. Projects A requires an initial investment of Rs.200,000 and generates net income of Rs.60,000 every year for the next five years.Project B would involve an investment of Rs.300,000 and would return net income of Rs.70,000 every year for the next 8 years. Required: Calculate the net present value(NPV) for both the projects. __________________________________________________ __________ Q2. Sapphire corporation is considering cash outlay of $ 800,000 for acquistion of new equipment. The useful life is four years and residual value is zero at the end of four years. After-Tax cash inflows of $200,000 are expected in year 1, 250,000 in year 2, $300,000 in year 3, $400,000 in year 4. The company falls in the tax bracket of 50%. i) If the required rate of return is 15 percent, what is the net present value of the project? Is the project acceptable? ii) What is the internal rate of return? __________________________________________________ ______________ Q3. A stock currently sells for %50 per share. The market requires a 13% return on the firm's stock. If the company maintains a constant 5% growth in dividends, what was the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock? Sister kindly solve these questions for me. |

Required: Calculate the net present value(NPV) for both the projects. ------------------------ Solution: Initial investment = Rs.200,000(projectA), 300,000(Project B) Net income = Rs.60,000(Project A for 5 years), 70,000(project B for 8 years) Discount rate=Nil Project A NPV= -Ci + C1/(1+r)1+ C2/(1+r)2+ C3/(1+r)3+ C4/(1+r)4+ C5/(1+r)5 NPV= -200,000+ 60,000/(1+0)1+60,000/(1+0)2+60,000/(1+0)3+60,000/(1+0)4+60,000/(1+0)5 NPV= -200,000+60,000+60,000+60,000+60,000+60,000 NPV= -200,000+300,000 NPV= Rs. 100,000 Project B NPV= -300,000 + 70,000/(1+0)1+70,000/(1+0)2+70,000/(1+0)3+70,000/(1+0)4+70,000/(1+0)5+70,000/(1+0)6+70,000/(1+0)7+70,000/(1+0)8 NPV= -300,000 +70,000+70,000+70,000+70,000+70,000+70,000+70,000+ 70,000 NPV= -300,000+ 560,000 NPV= 260,000 Project B is more suitable for the Delta motors.

Dear member,
Without the cost of money you can just add all the cash flows and subtract them from the initial investment and you can get the answer. |

Q2. Sapphire corporation is considering cash outlay of $ 800,000 for acquistion of new equipment. The useful life is four years and residual value is zero at the end of four years. After-Tax cash inflows of $200,000 are expected in year 1, 250,000 in year 2, $300,000 in year 3, $400,000 in year 4. The company falls in the tax bracket of 50%. i) If the required rate of return is 15 percent, what is the net present value of the project? Is the project acceptable? ii) What is the internal rate of return? -------------------------- Solution: i)NPV= -800,000 + 200000/(1.15)1 +250000/(1.15)2 +300000/(1.15)3 +400000/(1.15)4 NPV= -$800,000+ 173913 + 189035 + 197368 + 229885 NPV= -800,000+790201 NPV=$ (9798) ii) IRR is the discount rate t which the NPV of an investment becomes zero. Internal Rate of Return is not separate from the NPV, for the acceptable project, NPV and IRR should be close/equal to zero but not less than zero, above mentioned answer tells that %age of r should be reduced to have the NPV and IRR Close or equal to zero. Take r=14.4% instead of 15% IRR= 200,000/(1.144)1+250,000/(1.144)2+300,000/(1.144)3+400,000/(1.144)4 - 800,000= 0 IRR= 174825 + 191131+ 200534 + 233781 - 800,000 = 0 IRR= 800271 - 800,000 = 0 IRR= 271(Approximately equal to zero) = 0 IRR ≈ 14.4%

Q3. A stock currently sells for %50 per share. The market requires a 13% return on the firm's stock. If the company maintains a constant 5% growth in dividends, what was the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock? Solution By Using Gordon growth model, we have P=D(1+g)/(k-g) where, P=Stock Price= 50 per share D= most recent dividend g=Dividend growth rate = 5% k=Required return = 13% P=D(1+g)/(k-g) or, D=P(k-g)/(1+g) D=50(1+0.05)/(1+0.13) D=46.46 -------- Solved.

DP Company presently has Rs.3 million in debt outstanding bearing an interest rate of 12
percent. It wishes to finance a Rs.4 million expansion program and is considering three alternatives: additional debt at 14 percent interest, preferred stock with a 12 percent dividend, and the sale of common stock at Rs.16 per share. The company presently has 800,000 shares of common stock outstanding and is in a 40 percent tax bracket. (i) If earnings before interest and taxes are presently Rs.1.5 million, what would be earnings per share for the three alternatives, assuming no immediate increase in profitability? (ii) Develop a break-even, or indifference chart for these alternatives. What are the approximate indifference points? To check one of these points, what is the indifference point mathematically between debt and common? (iii) Which alternative do you prefer? How much would EBIT need to increase before the next alternative would be best? Kindly solve this question. |

Net present value (NPV) expresses the sum total of an investment’s future net cash flows (receipts less payments) minus the investment’s initial costs. It is an investment appraisal tool. CALCULATION METHODS AND FORMULAS: The net cash flows may be even (i.e. equal cash inflows in different periods) or uneven (i.e. different cash flows in different periods). When they are even, present value can be easily calculated by using the present value formula of annuity. However, if they are uneven, we need to calculate the present value of each individual net cash inflow separately. In the next step we subtract the initial investment on the project from the total present value of inflows to arrive at net present value. Thus we have the following two formulas for the calculation of NPV: 1. When cash inflows are even: NPV = R × 1 − (1 + i)^-n/i − Initial Investment In the above formula, R is the net cash inflow expected to be received each period; i is the required rate of return per period; n are the number of periods during which the project is expected to operate and generate cash inflows. 2. When cash inflows are uneven: NPV = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... − Initial Investment (1 + i)1 (1 + i)2 (1 + i)3 Where, i is the target rate of return per period; R1 is the net cash inflow during the first period; R2 is the net cash inflow during the second period; R3 is the net cash inflow during the third period, and so on. Example: 1. When cash inflows are even: The management of Abid Electronics Company is considering to purchase an equipment to be attached with the main manufacturing machine. The equipment will cost $6,000 and will increase annual cash inflow by $2,200. The useful life of the equipment is 6 years. After 6 years it will have no salvage value. The management wants a 20% return on all investments. Required: Compute net present value (NPV) of this investment project. Given data: Initial cost ------------- $ 6000 Life of the asset -------6 years Annual cash inflow ---$ 2,200 Salvage value ----------- 0 Required rate of return- 20% Solution: (without present value of $1 table) Formula: NPV = R × 1 − (1 + i)^-n/i − Initial Investment NPV= $2,200 [1-(1+0.20)^-6]/0.20 – $6,000 NPV=2,200 [1-(1.20)^-6]/0.20 – 6,000 NPV=2,200[1-0.3348]/0.20 – 6,000 NPV=2,200 (0.6651) /0.20 – 6,000 NPV=2,200 * 3.3255 – 6000 NPV= 7,316 – 6000 NPV= $1,316 --------------------------------------------------- Using present value of $1 table, take the value in the 6th year with 20% rate. The value is 3.326, put this value at the place of [1-(1+0.20)^-6]/0.20 (NPV= $2,200 * 3.326 – 6000) and the rest is same as above. 3. When cash inflows are uneven: A project requires an initial investment of $225,000 and is expected to generate the following net cash inflows: Year 1 2 3 4 Cash inflow $95,000 $80,000 $60,000 $55,000 Required: Compute net present value of the project if the minimum desired rate of return is 12% Solution: (without present value of $1 table) Formula : NPV = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... − Initial Investment (1 + i)1 (1 + i)2 (1 + i)3 NPV = $95,000/(1+0.12)^1 + 80,000/(1+0.12)^2 + 60,000/(1+0.12)^3 + 55,000/(1+0.12)^4 – 225,000 NPV= $95,000/1.12 + 80,000/1.254 + 60,000/1.404 + 55,000/1.574 – 225,000 NPV= $84,821 + 63,795 + 42735 + 34942 – 225,000 NPV= $226,293 – 225,000 NPV=1,293 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Take the value from present value of $1 table Solution: 1 0.893 * $ 95,000 $ 84,835 2 0.797* 80,000 63,760 3 0.712* 60,000 42,720 4 0.636* 55,000 34,980 Total $ 226,295 Initial investment required 225,000 Net present value $ 1,295 Decision rule for any project: Accept the project only if its NPV is positive or zero. Reject the project having negative NPV. While comparing two or more exclusive projects having positive NPVs, accept the one with highest NPV.
