II Wоrk 1 оf these 2 prоblems (A or W) Lаbel the аnswers Below to ensure your аnswers match the questions (10 points) Choice A. Picou Properties owner is well versed in finance topics. Recently he has been review the Arbitrage Pricing Model (APT... of which the Fama French Model is a part). You will estimate the Cost of equity for this firm using the APT model. The Risk Free Rate is 6%. The expected return on Factor Alpha (Ra) is 12.9% and the expected return on the second factor, Factor White (Rw) is 18%. If the betas of factors Alpha and White are 0.79 and 0.99 respectively, A1: what is the required return for Picou Properties? (please type work/formula used) Choice W: As a corporate manager you are concerned with what will happen to the required return to Doughboy Doughnuts equity as market conditions change. Suppose that the R(rf) = 4.6%, the R(m) is 12.1%, and B(DD) is 1.45. X. Under current conditions what is the required rate of return for your stock? Y. Suppose (only that ) the slope of the SML remains constant, but the risk free rate Changes to 12% (holding the Market Risk Premium constant) What will happen to the required return? Z. Suppose (Only) that the Slope of the SML increases so that the Return on the Market is now 15.3%, but the risk free rate remains = 4.6%, {the MRP is now 11.3}. what effect would this have on the stock’s return?
The Inch Wоrm Publishing Cоmpаny hаs been оffered а project with an expected 3 year life. The Inch Worm Publishing company is considering the purchase of a new machine to replace an out of date machine that has a book value of $132,000 and can be sold today for $18,000. The old machine is being depreciated on a straightline basis over 40 more years to a book value of $ 40000 at the end of the fourth year. The old machine generates annual revenues of $ 125,000 and annual expenses of $175,000. This machine requires a fixed investment of $ 15,000 in net working capital. The proposed new machine is estimated to cost $ 180,000, but requires shipping of $ 8,000 and installation of $ 12,000. This machine will be depreciated using the 3-yr. ACRS class rules using these percentages: .336, .454, .1581, .0741 over the THREE years that the machine will be used. The new machine will require a fixed investment of $ 125000 in net working capital. It is expected to generate annual revenue of $185,000 and annual cash expenses of $ 85,000. The machine is larger, and requires us to cancel a tenant storing unsold motorhomes. If the new machine is purchased, the lease will result in the loss of $20,000/yr. (However, the space left will go to a high-end customer and bring $10,000 per month!) If the old machine is used for THREE more years, it is expected to have only a cash market value of $ 12,000 at the end of the THIRD year. The new machine expected to have a cash market value of $ 41,500. Working capital investments for both machines consists primarily of tools and spare parts that can be sold for full value at any time the machines are retired. The marginal tax rate is 25.9%. The appropriate discount rate is 10.5%. a. What is the change in net working capital? b. What is ‘sell the old net of tax’? c. What is the initial outlay (Cash Flow 0)? d. What is the change in revenues (as all 3 years are the same)? e. What is the change in expenses (as all 3 years are the same)? f. What is the change in depreciation expense for all THREE years (this will be different for each year) g. What is the change in operating cash flows for each year? h. To calculate the NPV of this investment, what values would be entered into the cash flow buttons in your calculator? i . What is your recommendation?
