Question 1) Value Drivers and Horizon Value of Constant Growth Firm

You are given the following forecasted information for the year 2016: sales = $300,000,000, operating profitability (OP) = 7%, capital requirements (CR) = 39%, growth (g) = 6%, and the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) = 9.4%. If these values remain constant, what is the horizon value (i.e., the 2016 value of operations)? Do not round intermediate steps. Round answer to the nearest $1000.

Question 2) Dozier Corporation is a fast-growing supplier of office products. Analysts project the following free cash flows (FCFs) during the next 3 years, after which FCF is expected to grow at a constant 3% rate. Dozier's weighted average cost of capital is WACC 13%.

Operating Cash Flow

The financial staff of Cairn Communications has identified the following information for the first year of the rollout of its new proposed service:

Projected sales

$25 million

Operating costs (not including depreciation)

11 million

Depreciation

6 million

Interest expense

4 million

The company faces a 30% tax rate. What is the project's operating cash flow for the first year (t = 1)? Write out your answer completely. For example, 2 million should be entered as 2,000,000.

Net Salvage Value

Allen Air Lines must liquidate some equipment that is being replaced. The equipment originally cost $24 million, of which 80% has been depreciated. The used equipment can be sold today for $8.4 million, and its tax rate is 30%. What is the equipment's after-tax net salvage value? Write out your answer completely. For example, 2 million should be entered as 2,000,000.

New-Project Analysis

You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new chromatograph for the firm's R&D department. The equipment's basic price is $130,000, and it would cost another $19,500 to modify it for special use by your firm. The chromatograph, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), would be sold after 3 years for $45,500. Use of the equipment would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $6,500. The chromatograph would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $39,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.

Replacement Analysis

St. Johns River Shipyards's welding machine is 15 years old, fully depreciated, obsolete, and has no salvage value. However, even though it is obsolete, it is perfectly functional as originally designed and can be used for quite a while longer. The new welder will cost $82,500, and have an estimated life of 8 years with no salvage value. The new welder will be much more efficient, however, and this enhanced efficiency will increase earnings before depreciation from $26,000 to $52,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 14%. Should the old welder be replaced by the new one?

Risky Cash Flows

The Bartram-Pulley Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive investment projects. Each project costs $6,500 and has an expected life of 3 years.
