Sandy Kupchack just graduated from State University with a bachelor’s degree in history. During her four years at the university, Sandy accumulated $10,000 in student loans. She asks for your help in determining the amount of the quarterly loan payment. She tells you that the loan must be paid back in five years and that the annual interest rate is 8%. Payments begin in three months.

Required:
Determine Sandy's quarterly loan payment.

Answer: $611.57 or $612 rounded to nearest dollar.

Explanation:

She would have to make a constant payment per quarter which makes it an annuity.

The $10,000 is the present value of the annuity.

The quarters remaining are = 5 years * 4 = 20 quarters

Quarterly interest = 8%/4 = 2%

10,000 = Annuity * Present Value of Annuity factor, 20 periods, 2%

10,000 = Annuity * 16.3514

Annuity = 10,000/16.3514

= $611.57

Puffin Industries acquired all of Sunset Coast Digital's stock on January 1, 2014, for $3,500,000, $2,100,000 in excess of book value. At that time, Sunset Coast's inventory (LIFO) was overvalued by $500,000 and its plant assets (10-year life) were overvalued by $1,000,000. The remaining excess of cost over book value is attributed to undervalued identifiable intangible assets being amortized over 20 years. Sunset Coast depreciates plant assets and amortizes intangibles by the straight-line method. During 2014 and 2015, Sunset Coast reported total net income of $650,000 and paid out 50 percent in dividends. Puffin carries its investment in Sunset Coast using the complete equity method. Sunset Coast's inventory increased each year since it was acquired by Puffin, and Sunset Coast's reported net income for 2016 was $200,000, and dividends totaled 50 percent of reported income.

Required:
a. Compute Puffin's 2016 equity in net income of Sunset Coast.
b. Compute the balance in the Investment in Sunset Coast account at December 31, 2016, after all equity method entries have been booked.
c. Prepare the working paper eliminating entries needed in consolidation at December 31, 2016.

Your uncle Abdallah is celebrating his 33th birthday today and wants to start saving for his retirement at the age of 63. He wants to be able to withdraw AED 100,000 from his saving account on each birthday for 20 years following his retirement. The first withdraw will be on his 64th birthday. Your uncle intends to invest his money in a local bank in Abu Dhabi that offers 7% interest rate per year. He wants to make equal payments on each birthday into the account established in the local bank for his retirement fund.
1. If your uncle starts making these deposits on his 33th birthday and continues to make deposits until he is 63, what amount must he deposit annually to be able to make the desired withdrawals at retirement?
2. If your uncle has just inherited a large sum of money, so instead of making equal payments, he has decided to pay one lump sum payment on his 33th birthday to cover his retirement needs. What amount does he have to deposit?
3. If your uncle’s employer informs your uncle that he will contribute AED 1,000 to your uncle account every year. Also, if your uncle expects AED100,000 from another investment on his 53th birthday, which he will also put into the retirement account. What amount must he deposit annually now to be able to make the desired withdrawals at retirement.

A relocation of a short stretch of rural highway feeding into Route 390 northwest of Dallas is to be made to accommodate new growth. The existing road is now unsafe, and improving it is not an alternative. Alternate new route locations are designated as East and West.

Much has been written about how to identify and interpret signs that indicate that a new organizational form is needed. Grinnell and Apple have identified five signs in addition to those previously described in Section 3.625:Management is satisfied with its technical skills, but projects are not meeting time, cost, and other project requirements.There is a high commitment to getting project work done, but great fluctuation in how well performance specifications are met.Highly talented specialists involved in the project feel exploited and misused.Particular technical groups or individuals constantly blame each other for failure to meet specifications or delivery dates.Projects are on time and to specification, but groups and individuals aren’t satisfied with the achievement. Grinnell and Apple state that there is a good chance that a matrix structure will eliminate or alleviate these problems. Do you agree or disagree? Does your answer depend on the type of project? Give examples or counterexamples to defend your answers.

a. Fethe's Funny Hats is considering selling trademarked, orange-haired curly wigs for University of Tennessee football games. The purchase cost for a 2-year franchise to sell the wigs is $20,000. If demand is good (40% probability), then the net cash flows will be $27,000 per year for 2 years. If demand is bad (60% probability), then the net cash flows will be $6,000 per year for 2 years. Fethe's cost of capital is 13%. What is the expected NPV of the project?

b. If Fethe makes the investment today, then it will have the option to renew the franchise fee for 2 more years at the end of Year 2 for an additional payment of $20,000. In this case, the cash flows that occurred in Years 1 and 2 will be repeated (so if demand was good in Years 1 and 2, it will continue to be good in Years 3 and 4). Write out the decision tree. Note: The franchise fee payment at the end of Year 2 is known, so it should be discounted at the risk-free rate, which is 4%. Use decision-tree analysis to calculate the expected NPV.
