The OceаnWоrld Cоmpаny currently hаs nо debt outstanding, and its financial position is given by the following data: Value (Market value  = Book Value) $700,000 EBIT $105,000 Cost of equity (rs) 9% Current price per share (P0) $70 Shares outstanding (n0) 10,000 Tax rate, T 40% Value of Debt Now (D0) 0 The firm is considering recapitalization by selling bonds and simultaneously repurchasing some of its stock to reach a 30% debt ratio.

B) What is the value of the firm (V)?  C) What is the new price of stock per share? D) How many shares are repurchased? E) What is the new Earning Per Share (EPS)?

New-Prоject Anаlysis: Cоmprehensive  Wоrk on Excel аnd copy the cleаn answer table here: Rio Grande Industries is considering adding a new line of taco griddles to its product mix.  The production line would be set up in unused space in Rio's main plant.  The machinery’s invoice price would be approximately $340,000, another $30,000 in shipping charges would be required, and it would cost an additional $60,000 to install the equipment.  The machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and SC has obtained a special tax ruling that places the equipment in the MACRS 3-year class.  The machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $50,000 after 4 years of use. The new line would generate incremental sales of 1,600 units per year for 4 years at an incremental cost of $110 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. Each unit can be sold for $220 in the first year. The sales price and cost are expected to increase by 2% annually due to inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 11% of sales revenues. The firm’s tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital, which is the risk-adjusted cost of capital for an average project (r), is 14%. Calculate year 0 cash flows (depreciable asset + working capital needs) Calculate CF from salvage value in year 4. Consider profits and taxes. Forecast the annual working capital investments. Calculate annual cashflows (also consider working capital investments, salvage, working capital recovery) Using a robust capital budgeting technique, evaluate if the project should be accepted.   Summary data         Cost       $340,000 Shipping       30,000 Installation       60,000           Economic Life       4 Market Salvage Value       50,000 Depreciation Method MACRs       4 Annual Unit Sales       1600 Unit sales price       220 Unit cost       110 Net working capital required (NWCt = 11%(Salest+1)       11% Tax rate       40% Project cost of capital (WACC)       14% Inflation rate (on unit prices and costs)       2%   Annual Depreciation (MACRS -3): Year % 1 33.33% 2 44.45% 3 14.81% 4 7.41%

Wоrk оn Excel аnd cоpy the cleаn аnswer table here: Additional Financing Needed: LetsGo210's sales are projected to grow from $1,500 in 2023 to $2,400 in 2024. The balance sheet on December 31, 2023, is as follows: Balance sheet as of Dec 31, 2023 Assets Liabilities and Equity Cash $150 Accounts payable $60 Accounts receivable 250 Notes payable 200 Inventories 250 Accruals 60 Net fixed assets 600 Long-term debt 500 Common stock 150   Retained earnings 280 Total assets $1,250 Total liabilities and equity $1,250 In 2023, LetsGo210's fixed assets were utilized only 50% of their capacity, but its current assets were correctly proportional to sales. Except for fixed assets, all assets must rise at the same rate as sales. Fixed assets would also need to rise at the same rate if there was no current excess capacity. LetsGo210's after-tax profit margin is expected to be 6% and its payout ratio to be 50%.  Forecast the company's new level of assets required, new sources of funding, and additional funds needed (AFN) starting from the above balance sheet.
