    FIN370 Week4 Team DRAFT

    “Management has decided to acquire a new asset that costs $200,000. The estimated economic life of the asset is five years, but the firm wants the use of the asset only for three years. If the firm purchases the asset, it anticipates selling it at the end of three years for $50,000. The firm may lease the asset for $55,000 a year paid at the end of each year. The lease does not include maintenance. It is estimated that annual maintenance initially will be $5,000 (paid at the end of the year), but that cost will increase by $1,000 each year as the asset ages. The firm could purchase the asset with a five-year loan of $200,000. The loan will be retired in five payments of $40,000 unless the equipment is sold, in which case the loan must be paid off at closing of the sale. The interest rate is 10 percent and is paid at the end of each year on the balance owed. The annual interest payment is provided below. If the firm does purchase the asset, it will enter into a maintenance agreement with the manufacturer that costs $5,000 a year. The annual depreciation expense is provided below. The firm’s tax bracket is 40 percent. Based on the above information, should the firm borrow and purchase or should the…

    Finc312 Case 3

    Agro-Chem, Inc. is a regional producer of agricultural chemicals based in Houston Texas that needs help making a lease versus purchase decision. By understanding the material presented, we will be able to come to a decision. However, after reviewing the information presented, there are a few problems that need to be investigated before finalizing our recommendation. Agro-Chem, Inc. chose to go with the financial manager’s idea of using a discount rate of 14% (average risk) to figure out the present value costs of leasing and purchasing even though the assistant treasure suggested a 12% (low risk) discount rate. Agro-Chem, Inc. brought in the company’s CPA to help settle the debate but this only led to further confusion and disagreement concerning the appropriate discount rate which concerns us and should be taken into consideration. In addition it concerns us that the salvage value is unclear for the end of the fourth year. The probabilities of the equipment’s residual values, which are pretty extreme, are 0.25 which concludes that the situation could vary greatly. Another problem is that Lonestar’s executives think that the equipment’s residual value will be larger than expected as a result of possible expansion. This is a risk factor that has to be analyzed because relocating will affect the final decision. Due to these issues, we have come up with solutions to fix these problems as well as a final decision concerning the lease versus purchase decision.…

    Wriston Manufacturing Case Writeup

    Selling the plant would cause immediate cash inflow of $4,000,000 and $6,000,000 loss from employee termination. While this does net in a $2,000,000 loss, this option results in the highest net present value for Wriston Manufacturing. In this option the Detroit products are segmented into three groups and redistributed to other factories. Group 1 products are sent to Lancaster, and Group 2 products are sent to Lima, while Group 3 products are terminated. This plan yields a net present value of $24,595 million. We assume that both plants will operate for 20 years and will be sold in their last years of operation. The terminal value of the sale of the Lancaster factory would be $13,568. We take 4,000,000 as the terminal value of the Detroit factory multiplying it by 2 assuming that our factory will be sold in 20 years instead of 77 and that the highest amount of depreciation will occur in the first 50 years. After that we compare all the factories in terms of their capacity with the Detroit factory and calculated the ratio of capacity between the factories. After that we used the discount factor of 0.8 as we assume that a factory twice as big would not cost twice as much. We do the same calculations for the Lima factory, which results in a terminal value of $7,680.…
