$20.00Data for question 1 – 4 growth rate 8% (for past 10 years) dividends 2013 2.6 million Net Income 2013 9.8 million Net Income 2014 12.6 million Investment 7.3 million target debt ratio 35% Calculate Boehm’s total dividends for 2014 under each of the following policies: 1 Its 2014 dividend payment is set to force dividends to grow at the long-run growth rate in earnings. 2 It continues the 2013 dividend payout ratio. 3 It uses a pure residual policy with all distributions in the form of dividends (35% of the $7.3 million investment is financed with debt). 4 It employs a regular-dividend-plus-extras policy, with the regular dividend being based on the long-run growth rate and the extra dividend being set according to the residual policy. 5 What is the incremental profit? To get a rough idea of the project’s profitability, what is the project’s expected rate of return for the next year (defined as the incremental profit divided by the investment)? Should the firm make the investment? Why or why not? 6 Would the firm’s break-even point increase or decrease if it made the change? 7 What is the return on equity for each firm if the interest rate on current liabilities is12% and the rate on long-term debt is 15%? 8 Assume that the short-term rate rises to 20%, that the rate on new long-term debt rises to 16%, and that the rate on existing long-term debt remains unchanged. What would be the return on equity for Firm A and Firm B under these conditions? 9 In 1983 the Japanese yen-U.S. dollar exchange rate was 250 yen per dollar, and the dollar cost of a compact Japanese-manufactured car was $10,000. Suppose that now the exchange rate is 120 yen per dollar. Assume there has been no inflation in the yen cost of an automobile so that all price changes are due to exchange rate changes. What would the dollar price of the car be now, assuming the car’s price changes only with exchange rates? Final Paper Financial Analysis Apple, Inc.

A complete and thorough financial statement review.
Pro Forma financial statements (Balance Sheet and Income Statement) for the next two fiscal years, assuming a 10% growth rate in sales and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for each of the next two years.
Complete ratio analysis for the last fiscal year using at least two ratios from each of the following categories:
a. Liquidity
b. Financial leverage
c. Asset management
d. Profitability
e. Market value
Calculate Return on Equity (ROE) using the DuPont system.
Assess management performance by calculating Economic Value Added (EVA).
Review of the soundness of the company’s financial policies (e.g. capital structure, debt, leverage, dividend policy, etc.) based on the material covered during class.
A synopsis of your findings, including your recommendations and rationale for whether or not to purchase stock from this company.
This report should be 15 – 20 pages long excluding title page and reference page(s) using APA 6th edition formatting guidelines.

Fin534 Financial Management
- What is the present value of the following uneven cash flow stream − $50, $100, $75, and $50 at the end of Years 0 through 3? The appropriate interest rate is 10%, compounded annually
- We sometimes need to find out how long it will take a sum of money (or something else, such as earnings, population, or prices) to grow to some specified amount. For example, if a company’s sales are growing at a rate of 20% per year, how long will it take sales to double?
- Will the future value be larger or smaller if we compound an initial amount more often than annually — for example, every 6 months, or semiannually—holding the stated interest rate constant? Why?
- What is the effective annual rate (EAR or EFF%) for a nominal rate of 12%, compounded semiannually? Compounded quarterly? Compounded monthly? Compounded daily?
- Suppose that on January 1 you deposit $100 in an account that pays a nominal (or quoted) interest rate of 11.33463%, with interest added (compounded) daily. How much will you have in your account on October 1, or 9 months later?
- What would be the value of the bond described above if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13 % return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond?
- What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount bond?
- What is the yield to maturity on a 10-year, 9% annual coupon, $1,000 par value bond that sells for $887.00? That sells for $1,134.20? What does a bond selling at a discount or at a premium tell you about the relationship between and the bond’s coupon rate?
- What are the total return, the current yield, and the capital gains yield for the discount bond in Question #8 at $887.00? At $1,134.20? (Assume the bond is held to maturity and the company does not default on the bond.)
Goodman Industries’ and Landry Quiz
$20.00Directions: Answer the following questions on this document. Explain how you reached the answer or show your work if a mathematical calculation is needed, or both. Submit your assignment using the assignment link in the course shell. This homework assignment is worth 100 points. Use the following information for questions 1 through 8: The Goodman Industries’ and Landry Incorporated’s stock prices and dividends, along with the Market Index, are shown below. Stock prices are reported for December 31 of each year, and dividends reflect those paid during the year. The market data are adjusted to include dividends. Goodman Industries Landry Incorporated Market Index Year Stock Price Dividend Stock Price Dividend Includes Divi- dends 2013 $25.88 $1.73 $73.13 $4.50 17.49 5.97 2012 22.13 1.59 78.45 4.35 13.17 8.55 2011 24.75 1.50 73.13 4.13 13.01 9.97 2010 16.13 1.43 85.88 3.75 9.65 1.05 2009 17.06 1.35 90.00 3.38 8.40 3.42 2008 11.44 1.28 83.63 3.00 7.05 8.96 1. Use the data given to calculate the annual returns for Goodman, Landry, and the Market Index, and then calculate average annual returns for the two stocks and the index. (Hint: Remember, returns are calculated by subtracting the beginning price from the ending price to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the capital gain or loss, and then dividing the result by the beginning price. Assume that dividends are already included in the index, Also, you cannot calculate the rate of return for 2008 because you do not have 2007 data.) 2. Calculate the standard deviations of the returns for Goodman, Landry, and the Market Index. (Hint: Use the sample standard deviation formula given in the chapter, which corresponds to the STDEV function in Excel.) 3. Estimate Goodman’s and Landry’s betas as the slopes of regression lines with stock return on the vertical axis (y-axis) and market return on the horizontal axis (x-axis). (Hint: Use Excel’s SLOPE function.) Are these betas consistent with your graph? 4. The risk-free rate on long-term Treasury bonds is 6.04%. Assume that the market risk premium is 5%. What is the required return on the market using the SML equation? 5. If you formed a portfolio that consisted of 50% Goodman stock and 50% Landry stock, what would be its beta and its required return. 6. What dividends do you expect for Goodman Industries stock over the next 3 years if you expect the dividend to grow at the rate of 5% per year for the next 3 years? In other words, calculate D1, D2, and D3. Note that D0 = $1.50 7. Assume that Goodman Industries’ stock, currently trading at $27.05, has a required return of 13%. You will use this required return rate to discount dividends. Find the present value of the dividend stream, that is, calculate the PV of D!, D2, and D3, and then sum these PVs. 8. If you plan to buy the the stock, hold it for 3 years, and then sell it for $27.05, what is the most you should pay for it? (Problem 7-19) Use the following information for Question 9: Suppose now that the Good Industries (1) trades at a current stock price of $30 with a (2) strike price of $35. Given the following information: (3) time to expiration is 4 months, (annualized risk-free rate is 5%, and (5) variance of stock return is .25. 9. What is the price for a call option using the Black-Scholes model?
