...Considering, the incremental return on investment, or the additional revenue generated from each resource profile investment. Each of the strategies has financial costs and benefits. These are discussed below. 1) Ten per cent increase through efficiency The efficiency improvement strategy carries no costs and should yield 10 per cent on the bottom line, or about an additional $12,100 profit. The calculations are: $550,000 annual revenue x 2% margin = $11,000 net profits $11,000 net profit x 10% efficiency improvement = $1,100 $11,000 + 1,100 = $12,100 increase in net profits 2) Add adventure diving The adventure diving resort strategy will require about $15,000 to get started. It should yield about $95,680 additional revenue. The calculations are: 8 divers per trip x $115 for each diver = $920 revenue per trip $920 each trip x 2 dives per week - $1,840 revenue per week $1,840 revenue per week x 52 weeks = $95,680 annual adventure diving revenue 3) Focus on family diving The family diving resort strategy will cost $60,000 to $160,000 (in renovations and improvements) and should yield at least an additional $157,000 over current revenues, assuming no increases in prices. If Coral Divers raises its prices to equal other family resorts, the revenues should be even higher. Two methods of calculation are shown below. Method 1: Occupancy during high season is 90 per cent, so: 90% (“x”) = 0.90x [where “x” equals total seasonal...

Then you can use the case model to find the future values. 3. Templates for both a. and b. are in the model. 4. a. Refer to the model for guidance. b. and c. can be solved using the model. d. and e. will require that you use a financial calculator, given the complexity of the problems. There are several calculators on the internet. (See the Web Sites section of this site.) The key inputs are: interest rate, future value, number of annual payments, and amount of each payment. f. is another bonus opportunity (one point). For this bonus question, you have to make an assumption that, under annual compounding, the bank will pay interest on the mid-year payments, and the rate for those payments is that rate which produces an effective annual rate of 10.0 percent. 5. Same comments as for question 4 above, and again one bonus point is possible for f.

...NIKE INC. CASE 14 Philip Chen, Choco Huang, Ariel Chou, Matt Krieger In this report we analyzed Cohen’s approach in calculating WACC. After observing how Cohen derived his figures we came up with our own WACC, terminal value, and EPS. Cohen broke down his calculations into five parts 1) Single or Multiple Costs of Capital 2) Proportion of capital from debt and equity 3) Cost of Debt 4) Cost of Equity 5) WACC In part one; we disagreed with Cohen where he decided to value the company as a whole instead of valuing each division separately. Since Nike is a multidivisional firm Cohen should of aggregated the values of the individual divisions and calculate a different cost of capital for each one. Since the exhibit 1 and 3 provide a consolidated income statement and balance sheet it is difficult to segregate the divisions. Therefore when we did our own calculations we used Cohen’s assumption of a single cost of capital. In part two Cohen allocated the weight of debt and equity based on book value. This method is incorrect because the allocation should be based on market value. The table below is our calculation of capital allocation. Table 1.1 | Price: Exhibit 4 | shares outstanding | Total | % of Capital | Debt | 95.60 | 271.50 | 25,955.40 | 69.43% | | | | | | | Price: Exhibit 2 | shares outstanding | Total | % of Capital | Equity | 42.09 | 271.50 | 11,427.44 | 30.57% | | | | 37,382.84 | 100.00% | Part 3 is the cost...

...price. Along with good and bad news relating to the operations of a company, any sort of distribution that is made to investors will also affect stock price. These distributions can include cash dividends, stock dividendsand stock splits. When distributions are made, the adjusted closing price calculations are quite simple. For cash dividends, the value of the dividend is deducted from the last closing sale price of the stock. For example, let's assume that the closing price for one share of XYZ Corp. is $20 on Thursday. After close on Thursday, XYZ Corp. announces a dividend distribution of $1.50 per share. The adjusted closing price for the stock would then be $18.50 ($20-$1.50). If XYZ Corp. announces a 2:1 stock dividend instead of a cash dividend, the adjusted closing price calculation will change. A 2:1 stock dividend means that for every share an investor owns, he or she will receive two more shares. In this case, the adjusted closing price calculation will be $20*(1/(2+1)). This will give you a price of $6.67, rounded to the nearest penny. If XYZ Corp. announces a 2:1 stock split, investors will receive an extra share for every share they already own. This time the calculation will be $20*(1/(1x2)), resulting in an adjusted closing price of $10. We have...

...you know if you can afford or it not. In order to refinance your loan, you’ll start it all over again then compare the results. The recommended course of action are as follows paying the current loan balance at the interest rate over 20 years there would be a difference left over. And it’s less reasonable to refinance if you’re paying more per month to reduce the cost. Paying for 25 years and if you choose to refinance the loan the more money you will have to pay each month. So the best option in this case is to go ahead and pay the loan within 20 years without financing. Paying additional to go ahead and pay the loan off quicker. The formula used was C = (P(r/12) / (1-(1+[r/12])^(-m). To avoid any incorrect calculations I referred to my financial calculator and performed a few steps and came up with the current loan balanced of 125,911.86 at 5.6% over 20 years, the payment would be 887.13 leaving a difference of 106.38. It would be unreasonable to refinance and pay an extra 106.38 per month to reduce the cost per month. Making payments of 780.75 for 25 years, if loan was refinanced at 2,000.00 then the monthly payments per month would be 524.63 and 6, 295.59 per...

...Financial concepts are greatly important when determine which would be the best method to use for the firm or personal use. Some financial concepts are time value of money, risk and return, and interest rates. The activity of the assignment is to determine which options are best for the individual if the individual were given three alternatives of his or her inheritance; taking the $5,000 now, $1,000 for the next eight years, or taking a $12,000 at the end of the eight years. Assume that the individual can earn 11 percent interest annually. First, determine which what formulas will need to apply based on the way cash is being received. Perform the necessary calculations and determine which inheritance alternative would be best and why? Second, would he or she decision be different if he or she can earn interest at 12 percent? Without a proper calculation of the funds, decisions can be misconception. Receiving $5,000 cash now sound great and then invest for eight eights with 11 percent interest for the eight years. On the other hand, receiving $1,000 for the next eight years seems to be a little long and the amount is not that amazing but that $1,000 can be as large by the end of the eight years because the interest received increase each year—higher deposit at year two. For example, at year one, he or she invests $1,000 times that by the 11 percents interest rate will equal to $1,110 for the first year. For the second years, the interest will be calculate base...
