FOUR capital budgeting questions. More information on the question in the attachment.

Question 1 – Financial Planning

You are considering going to graduate school to get your Ph.D. You anticipate that your studies will take five years to complete, that you will receive a full tuition waiver, but that you will incur living expenses of $35,000 a year while in grad school. As part of your studies you will also work as a research assistant for which you will be paid $25,000 a year. The annual interest rate on your savings account is 3.5%. Assume that there are no taxes and that you do not want to apply for a student loan. How much will you need to invest in your savings account today in order to afford graduate school? Present your results in a table similar to the one below.

Question 2 – Annuities and Perpetuities

You have decided to donate $250,000 to your degree granting university in order to fund a new scholarship program. You expect that the university can earn 8% per year on its investments.

A) Assume that you would like the scholarship program to run for 10 years and that you would like it to make the same dollar payment each year. What is the maximum amount that the scholarship can pay out each year? (Please show your work.)

B) Assume that you would like the scholarship program to run indefinitely and that you would like it to make the same dollar payment each year. What is the maximum amount that the scholarship can pay out each year? (Please show your work.)

Question 3 – Investment Decision

Calculate the NPV for each project and present your results in table similar to the one below

Assume that you only have $100,000 to invest and that you can not raise more capital. However, you have no labor hour constraints (you have enough workers to meet all labor hour requirements). Which project or combination of projects would you invest in?

C) Assume that you are not cash constrained, but that you cannot hire additional workers. With your current workforce the maximum number of labor hours you can allocate across projects each year is 150. Which project or combination of projects would you invest in?

Question 4 – Expanding Production

Suppose you are considering the purchase of new equipment in order to meet increased demand for your product. The equipment costs $320,000 today and has a useful life of eight years. You will depreciate the equipment by $40,000 each year over eight years, starting at the end of the first year. You expect that the equipment can be sold for $60,000 at the end of year eight. With the new equipment you expect an increase of revenues by $120,000 and of costs of goods sold (COGS) by $40,000 for each year over the next eight years. The net working capital requirements for this project will be 5% of the incremental revenues of this project. The marginal tax rate is 21%, and that the applicable interest rate is 10%.

A) Calculate the liquidation value of the equipment after tax in year eight.

B) Calculate the net working capital requirements for the project as well as the annual change in net working capital. Present your results in a table similar to the one below.

Lesson 9

There are three activities or Ethical Scenarios, please choose one of them and then thoroughly answer the questions in the scenario.

Activity 1: Ethical Scenario I

Your team are special assistants to the governor of a southeastern U.S. state in which unemployment (especially in rural areas) is well above the national average. After nearly three years in office and elected on a pledge to create jobs, the governor is concerned. Because he respects your moral stance on big issues, the governor is seeking your insight. An Asian automobile maker has just told the governor that your state is on its short list of potential sites for a new manufacturing facility. The facility is expected to employ about 1,500 people, with plenty of spillover effects for the wider economy. The governor informs you that the Asian automaker expects significant incentives and concessions. The governor would like to offer some $300 million in tax breaks and subsidies in an effort to bring the new plant to the state.

Discuss the situation and then answer the questions:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. What plan of action do you advise the governor to take? Would the outlay be an appropriate use of taxpayer money? Explain.
                                    2. Would you feel comfortable defending your advice if it were to become public? Explain.

Activity 2: Ethical Scenario II

Your teams are lawyers working with the International Court of Justice in The Hague in the Netherlands. Your task is to review a recent decision by a U.S. judge regarding extraterritoriality. The case: French survivors of the Holocaust sued Yahoo USA because French citizens were purchasing Nazi memorabilia on Yahoo’s U.S. website. The lawsuit also charged Yahoo USA with hosting the websites of anti-Semitic groups. Although both these actions are illegal according to French law, they are permitted in the United States because of U.S. legislation protecting free speech. Because Yahoo’s French website did not violate French law, the U.S. federal judge hearing the case threw it out. The judge ruled that French law does not have the right to dictate the behavior of U.S. firms operating inside the United States. Today, the Internet can make it difficult to determine where jurisdictions begin and end.

Read, analyze and research the scenario. Then answer these questions:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. If you had been the U.S. judge in this case, would you have ruled similarly? Explain.
                                    2. What factors most influenced your decision?
                                    3. Do you know of any Internet controls that companies or governments can use to stop such cases from occurring in the future?

Activity 3: Ethical Scenario III

You are chief operating officer of a U.S.-based telecommunications firm considering a joint venture inside China with a Chinese firm. The consultant you hired to help you through the negotiations has just informed you that ethical concerns can arise when international companies consider a cooperative form of market entry (such as a joint venture) with a local partner in any market. This is especially true when each partner contributes personnel to the venture because cultural perspectives cause people to see ethical dilemmas differently. This is of special concern to you because the venture had planned to employ people from both China and the United States. In light of this recent information, you are reassessing your entry mode options.

1. Do you think your two companies can establish a set of ethical principles before commencing operations that will guide a potential joint venture?
2. What ethical issues might arise in conjunction with other entry modes discussed in this chapter?
3. Is there a company that succeeded under circumstances that are similar to those that your firm faces?

Module 2 – SLP

THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT, INTERNAL PROFILE, AND SWOT

Simulation

Wonder Company Simulation

Simulation

The Module 2 SLP requires that you continue with the scenario and simulation you began in the Module 1 SLP.

SCENARIO CONTINUATION

SLP2 – It is January 15, 2017. You have finished analyzing the performance of the Wonder Company, and you have submitted the report requested by your CEO, Sally Smothers. You are ready to move forward to 2017, but then…..

….as you turn on the TV, you notice something very strange. You recognize that the date is January 1, 2013, and that you get to make the decisions for the Wonder Company for the 4-year period beginning with 2013. Your challenge is to do better than Joe Thomas.

At the beginning of each year (2013-2016), you will determine your pricing, your R&D allocations, and whether or not to discontinue any products. You are required to make your decisions for each year, and to report your results to see what happened. You must keep track of your decisions, making specific notes supporting each of your decisions.

Run the Wonder Co. simulation through the end of 2016. When you are finished, the date will be December 31, 2016. What is your total Score? Did you do better than Joe Thomas?

You organize your notes about your decisions, your analysis, and your reasoning into a well-written report.

Session Long Project

Run the Wonder Company simulation with your strategy, making decisions year by year for prices and R&D allocations. Write a 6- to 7-page paper, not including cover and reference pages, in which you discuss the decisions and the results for each year. Discuss why you did better (or worse) than Joe Thomas.

KEYS TO THE ASSIGNMENT

The key aspects of this assignment that should be covered and taken into account in preparing your paper include:

• As you run the simulation, keep track of your decisions and the results – both financial and marketing. Copy and paste the results into Excel or into a Word document. You will also want to record the information that you get from the Advisor. Make a note of your Final Total Score.
• Include your Final Total Score, some tables, and/or graphs showing key results. Using sound logic, be sure to clearly explain the differences from Joe.
• Remember that the key here is quality of analysis.
• Time Line Summary:

SLP1

• 2016: You are hired on December 31, 2016.
• Turned in first report to the CEO on January 15, 2017.

SLP2

• You again find yourself in a Time Warp that takes you back to January 1, 2013.
• You revise the decisions made by Joe for 2013 – 2016. You make new decisions each year.
• December 31, 2016 – You have gone through all four years, and you write your second report to summarize how you did.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Your paper will be evaluated using the grading rubric.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Please note the following tips and suggestions:

• Include a cover page and reference page, in addition to the 6-7 pages of analysis described above:
  • Use section headings as appropriate. Use graphs, charts, or figures strategically – but do not use these as “space fillers.” Include large graphs, etc., as an Appendix instead.
  • Cite and reference all sources that you use in your work, including those that you paraphrase. This means include citations and quotation marks for direct quotes, and citations for that information which you have “borrowed” or paraphrased from other sources.
  • Follow the Trident Guidelines for well-written papers.
