...UV0072 Version 2.2 THE INVESTMENT DETECTIVE The essence of capital budgeting and resource allocation is a search for good investments in which to place the firm’s capital. The process can be simple when viewed in purely mechanical terms, but a number of subtle issues can obscure the best investment choices. The capital-budgeting analyst, therefore, is necessarily a detective who must winnow bad evidence from good. Much of the challenge is in knowing what quantitative analysis to generate in the first place. Suppose you are a new capital-budgeting analyst for a company considering investments in the eight projects listed in Exhibit 1. The chief financial officer of your company has asked you to rank the projects and recommend the “four best” that the company should accept. In this assignment, only the quantitative considerations are relevant. No other project characteristics are deciding factors in the selection, except that management has determined that projects 7 and 8 are mutually exclusive. All the projects require the same initial investment, $2 million. Moreover, all are believed to be of the same risk class. The firm’s weighted average cost of capital has never been estimated. In the past, analysts have simply assumed that 10% was an appropriate discount rate (although certain officers of the company have recently asserted that the discount rate should be much higher). To stimulate your analysis, consider the following questions: 1. Can you rank the projects simply...

...Caledonia Products Calculating Free Cash Flow and Project Valuation It’s been two months since you took a position as an assistant financial analyst at Caledonia Products. Although your boss has been pleased with your work, he is still a bit hesitant about unleashing you without supervision. Your next assignment involves both the calculation of the cash flows associated with a new investment under consideration and the evaluation of several mutually exclusive projects. Given your lack of tenure at Caledonia, you have been asked not only to provide a recommendation, but also to respond to a number of questions aimed at judging your understanding of the capital-budgeting process. The memorandum you received outlining your assignment follows: To: The Assistant Financial Analyst From: Mr. V. Morrison, CEO, Caledonia Products Re: Cash Flow Analysis and Capital Rationing We are considering the introduction of a new product. Currently we are in the 34% tax bracket with a 15% discount rate. This project is expected to last five years and then, because this is somewhat of a fad project, it will be terminated. The following information describes the new project: Cost of new plant and equipment: $ 7,900,000 Shipping and installation costs: $ 100,000 Unit sales: Year Units Sold 1 70,000 2 120,000 3 140,000 4 80,000 5 60,000 Sales price per unit: $300/unit...

...James W. Taylor February 2012 Imperial College EMBA 2012 Quantitative Methods Individual Assignment This assignment consists of two parts. Part A is worth 50% of the marks, and Part B is worth the remaining 50%. Your report for the two parts should consist of no more than 1,500 words. Part A – Blanket Systems Blanket Systems is developing and testing a new computer workstation, OB1, which it will introduce to the market in the next 6 months. OB1 will be sold under a three-year warranty covering parts and labour. The company has decided to subcontract the service support for the warranty and has entered negotiations about the support contract with Fixit Inc. Fixit has proposed two different pricing schemes for the subcontract. The first involves the payment of a fixed fee of $1,000,000 and the second a variable fee of $250 per workstation sold, subject to a minimum fee of $350,000. Under both schemes, the payment will be made one year after the introduction of the workstation to the market at which point the product will be replaced by newer models not covered by the warranty service subcontract. At the moment, there is uncertainty about the sales potential of the new workstation. Sales of OB1 are expected to come from two sources: (i) the successful closure by senior management of a major purchase of 2000 units by a long standing customer, (ii) the efforts of regional sales offices. Given the state of the negotiations with the long-standing customer, the current estimate of...

...Assignments MGT200. Business Basics Mgt 200. Business Basics Mgt 200 Assignment 4 One of the driving goals of entrepreneurs is to start up a company, and then take it public through an IPO (initial public offering). Is the prospect of realizing great gains by going public that feeds the venture capital frenzy. During the dot-com glory days, many companies with no revenues – indeed, with prospect of revenues in the foreseeable future – went public and consequently made their investors very rich. The Washington Post article provided below offers a story of a company that has just “gone private” after being public for a number of years. The story makes it clear that there is nothing automatically good about going public. In fact, for serious businesses, there can be important drawbacks. Read the article carefully, and then bring together your business wisdom to answer the following questions: 1. What was the driving force for Deltek going public in the first place? Was there merit in this logic? 2. What advantages did Deltek find in going public once it became a public company? What disadvantages did it face? 3. What distinguishes Deltek from the dot-com companies that rushed to go public? Why did those companies go public? Who gained? 4. Why did Deltek decide to leave the public arena and become a closely held corporation once again? Do you think its management made the right decision? Your response should be no longer than three pages (single spaced typing). washingtonpost...
