Q.5 Answer:
Using Single Amount Cash Flow
Future Value Formula:
Calculator Formula: FV = PV x (1+i)n
A) 1. FV = PV x (FVIF7%,3)
FV = $1,500 x (1.225)
FV = $1,837.50
2. FV = PV x (FVIF7%,6)
FV = $1,500 x (1.501)
FV = $2,251.50
3. FV = PV x (FVIF7%,9)
FV = $1,500 x (1.838)
FV = $2,757.00
-$1,500.00
-$1,837.50
-$2,251.50
C) The longer the investment period is, the larger the total amount of interest collected
will be. The incremental interest earned per 3-year period increases with each
subsequent 3 year period. The total interest for the first 3 years is $337.50;
increasing change in interest earned is due to compounding, the earning of interest on
previous interest earned. The greater the previous interest earned, the greater the
impact of compounding.
Problem 6: As part of your financial planning, you wish to purchase a new car exactly 5 years
from today. The car you wish to purchase costs $14,000 today, and your research indicates that
its price will increase by 2% to 4 per year over the next 5 years.
A. Estimate the price of the car at the end of 5 years if inflation is (1) 2% per year, and (2) 4%
per year.
B. How much more expensive will the car be if the rate of inflation is 4% rather
than 2%?
Q6. Answer:
Using Single Amount Cash Flow
Future Value Formula:
Calculator Formula: FVn = PV x (1+i)n
FV5 = $15,456.00
2. FV5 = PV x (FVIF4%,5)
FV5 = $17,038.00
B) The car will cost $1,582 more with a 4% inflation rate than an inflation rate of 2%. This
increase is 10.2% more ($1,582 $15,456) than would be paid with only a 2% rate of
inflation.
Problem 7: You can deposit $10,000 into an account paying 9% annual interest either today
or exactly 10 years from today. How much better off will you be at the end of 40 years if you
decide to make the initial deposit today rather than 10 years from today?
Q.7 Answer:
Using Single Amount Cash Flow
Future Value Formula:
Calculator Formula: FV = PV x (1+i)n
Deposit now:
FV = PV x FVIF9%,40
FV = $10,000 x (1.09)40
FV = $10,000 x (31.409)
FV = $314,090.00
Deposit in 10 years:
FV = PV10 x (FVIF9%,30)
FV = PV10 x (1.09)30
FV = $10,000 x (13.268)
FV = $132,680.00
You would be better off by $181,410 ($314,090 - $132,680) by investing the $10,000 now
instead of waiting for 10 years to make the investment.
Problem 8: Misty needs to have $15,000 at the end of 5 years in order to fulfill her goal of
purchasing a small sailboat. She is willing to invest the funds as a single amount today but
wonders what sort of investment return she will need to earn. Use your calculator or the time
value tables to figure out the approximate annually compounded rate of return needed in each
of these cases:
a) Misty can invest $10,200 today.
b) Misty can invest $8,150 today.
c) Misty can invest $7,150 today.
Q.8 Answer:
Using Single Amount Cash Flow
Future Value Formula:
Calculator Formula: FV = PV x (1+i)n
Interest = 8%
Interest = 12%
Interest = 15%
Problem 5: Micro-Pub, Inc., is considering the purchase of one of two microfilm cameras, R
and S. Both should provide benefits over a 10-year period, and each requires an initial
investment of $4,000. Management has constructed the following table of estimates of rates of
return and probabilities for pessimistic, most likely and optimistic results:
Camera R Camera S
Amount Probability Amount Probability
Initial investment $4,000 1.00 $4,000
Annual rate of return
Pessimistic 20% .25 15% .2O
Most likely 25% .50 25% .55
Optimistic 30% .25 35% .25
A) Determine the range for the rate of return for each of the two cameras.
B) Determine the expected value of return for each camera.
C) Purchase of which camera is riskier? Why?
Q.5 Answer:
a) Camera Range
(ki x Pri)
c) Camera S is considered more risky than Camera R because it has a much broader range
of outcomes. The risk-return trade-off is present because Camera S is more risky and
also provides a higher return than Camera R.
Problem 6: Katherine Wilson is wondering how much risk she must undertake in order to
generate an acceptable return on her portfolio. The risk-free return currently is 5%. The return
on the average stock (market return) is 16%. Use the CAPM to calculate the beta coefficient
associated with each of the following portfolio returns.
a) 10%
b) 15%
c) 18%
d) 20%
e) Katherine is risk-averse. What is the highest return she can expect if she is unwilling to take
more than an average risk?
Q.6 Answer:
To solve this problem you must take the CAPM and solve for beta. The resulting model is:
k RF
Beta
km R F
10% 5% 5%
a) Beta .4545
16% 5% 11%
15% 5% 10%
b) Beta .9091
16% 5% 11%
18% 5% 13%
c) Beta 1.1818
16% 5% 11%
20% 5% 15%
d) Beta 1.3636
16% 5% 11%
e) If Katherine is willing to take a maximum of average risk then she will be ab1le to have
an expected return of only 16%. (k = 5% + 1.0(16% - 5%) = 16%.)
Problem 7: Metal Manufacturing has isolated four alternatives for meeting its need for
increased production capacity. The data gathered relative to each of these alternatives is
summarized in the following table.
Alternative Expected return Standard deviation of return
A 20% 7.0%
B 22 9.5
C 19 6.0
D 16 5.5
Q.7 Answer:
k
Formula of Coefficient of Variation: CV
k
7%
a) A CVA .3500
20%
9.5%
B CVB .4318
22%
6%
C CVC .3158
19%
5.5%
D CVD .3438
16%
b) Asset C has the lowest coefficient of variation and is the least risky relative to the other
choices.
Q.8 Answer:
a) Project A is least risky based on range with a value of .04.
b) Project A is least risky based on standard deviation with a value of .029. Standard
deviation is not the appropriate measure of risk since the projects have different
returns.
.029 .035
c) A CVA .2417 C CVC .2692
.12 .13
.032 .030
B CVB .2560 D CVD .2344
.125 .128
In this case project A is the best alternative since it provides the least amount of risk for each
percent of return earned. CV is probably the best measure in this instance since it provides a
standardized method of measuring the risk investments with differing returns.
d) Shortening either the average age of inventory or the average collection period,
lengthening the average payment period, or a combination of these can reduce the cash
conversion cycle.
Problem 2: Camp Manufacturing turn over its inventory 8 times each year, has an average
payment period of 35 days, and has an average collection period of 60 days. The firm’s annual
sales are $3.5 million. Assume there is no difference in the investment per dollar of sales in
inventory, receivables, and payables; and a 365-day year.
a) Calculate the firm’s operating cycle and cash conversion cycle.
b) Calculate the firm’s daily cash operating expenditure. How much in resources must be
invested to support its cash conversion cycle?
c) If the firm pays 14% for these resources, by how much would it increase its annual profits by
favorably changing its current cash conversion cycle by 20 days?
Q.2 Answer:
a) AAI = 360 days 8 times inventory = 45 days
Operating Cycle = AAl + ACP
= 45 days + 60 days
OC = 105 days
Problem 3: Garrett Industries turns over its inventory 6 times each year; it has an average
collection period of 45 days and an average payment period of 30 days. The firm’s annual sales are
$3 million. Assume there is no difference in the investment per dollar of sales in inventory,
receivables, and payables; and a 365-day year.
a) Calculate the firm’s cash conversion cycle, its daily cash operating expenditure, and the amount
of resources needed to support its cash conversion cycle.
b) Find the firm’s cash conversion cycle and resource investment requirement if it makes the
following changes simultaneously.
(1) Shortens the average age of inventory by 5 days. (2) Speeds the collection of accounts
receivable by an average of 10 days. (3) Extends the average payment period by 10 days.
c) If the firm pays 13% for its resource investment, by how much, if anything, could it increase its
annual profit as a result of the changes in part b? d) If the annual cost of achieving the profit in part
c is $35,000, what action would you recommend to the firm? Why?
Q.3 Answer:
a. AAI = 360 6 times inventory = 60 days
OC = AAI + ACP
= 60 days + 45 days
= 105 days
CCC = OC - APP
= 105 days - 30 days
= 75 days
Daily Financing = $3,000,000 360
= $8,333
Resources needed = Daily financing x CCC
= $8,333 x 75
= $624,975
b. OC = 55 days + 35 days
= 90 days
CCC = 90 days - 40 days
= 50 days
Resources needed = $8,333 x 50
= $416,650
c. Additional profit = (Daily expenditure x reduction in CCC)
x financing rate
= ($8,333 x 25) x .13
= $27,082
d. Reject the proposed techniques because costs ($35,000) exceed savings ($27,082).
Problem 4: Dynabase Tool has forecast its total funds requirements for the coming year as
shown in the following table.
Month Amount Month Amount
January $2,000,000 July $12,000,000
February 2,000,000 August 14,000,000
March 2,000,000 September 9,000,000
April 4,000,000 October 5,000,000
May 6,000,000 November 4,000,000
June 9,000,000 December 3,000,000
a) Divide the firm’s monthly funds requirement into (1) a permanent component and (2) a
seasonal component, and find the monthly average for each of these components.
b) Describe the amount of long-term and short-term financing used to meet the total funds
requirement under (1) an aggressive funding strategy and (2) a conservative funding strategy.
Assume that under the aggressive strategy, long-term funds finance permanent needs and
short-term funds are used to finance seasonal needs.
c) Assuming that short-term funds cost 12% annually and that the cost of long-term funds is
17% annually, use the averages found in part a to calculate the total cost of each of the
strategies described in part b.
d) Discuss the profitability–risk tradeoffs associated with the aggressive strategy and those
associated with the conservative strategy.
Q.4 Answer:
Aggressive versus Conservative Seasonal Funding Strategy
a)
b) 1. Under an aggressive strategy, the firm would borrow from $1,000,000 to $12,000,000
according to the seasonal requirement schedule shown in a. at the prevailing short-term
rate. The firm would borrow $2,000,000, or the permanent portion of its requirements, at
the prevailing long-term rate.
2. Under a conservative strategy, the firm would borrow at the peak need level of
$14,000,000 at the prevailing long-term rate.
d) In this case, the large difference in financing costs makes the aggressive strategy more
attractive. Possibly the higher returns warrant higher risks. In general, since the conservative
strategy requires the firm to pay interest on unneeded funds, its cost is higher. Thus, the
aggressive strategy is more profitable but also more risky.

Q.2 Answer:
CD 360
Formula for Cost of giving up cash discount
100% - CD N
a) (.02 .98) x (360 20) = 36.73%
Problem 3: Purchases made on credit are due in full by the end of the billing period. Many
firms extend a discount for payment made in the first part of the billing period. The original
invoice contains a type of “short-hand” notation that explains the credit terms that apply.
a) Write the short-hand expression of credit terms for each of the following.
Cash discount CD period Credit period Beginning of Credit
period
1% 15 days 45 days date of invoice
2 10 30 end of month
2 7 28 date of invoice
1 10 60 end of month
b) For each of the sets of credit terms in part a, calculate the number of days until full payment is
due for invoices dated March 12.
c) For each of the sets of credit terms, calculate the cost of giving up the cash discount.
d) If the firm’s cost of short-term financing is 8%, what would you recommend in regard to
taking the discount or giving it up in each case?
Q.3 Answer:
a) 1/15 net 45 date of invoice
b) 45 days

d) In all four cases the firm would be better off to borrow the funds and take the discount.
The annual cost of not taking the discount is greater than the firm's 8% cost of capital.
Problem 4: Erica Stone works in an accounts payable department. She has attempted to
convince her boss to take the discount on the 3/10 net 45 credit terms most suppliers offer, but
her boss argues that giving up the 3% discount is less costly than a short-term loan at 14%.
Prove to whoever is wrong that the other is correct.
Q.4 Answer:
CD 360
Formula of Cost of giving up cash discount
100% - CD N
Cost of giving up cash discount = (.03 .97) x (360 35) = 31.81%
Since the cost of giving up the discount is higher than the cost of borrowing for a short-term
loan, Erica is correct; her boss is incorrect.
