Capital Budgeting Practice Problems

Part I: Capital Budgeting Practice Problems
a. Consider the project with the following expected cash flows:
Year
Cash flow
0
-$400,000
1
$100,000
2
$120,000
3 $850,000
If the discount rate is 0%, what is the project’s net present value?
If the discount rate is 2%, what is the project’s net present value?
If the discount rate is 6%, what is the project’s net present value?
If the discount rate is 11%, what is the project’s net present value?
With a cost of capital of 5%, what is this project’s modified internal rate of return?
Now draw (for yourself) a chart where the discount rate is on the horizontal axis (the “x” axis) and the net present value on the vertical axis (the Y axis). Plot the net present value of the project as a function of the discount rate by dots for the four discount rates. Connect the four points using a free hand ‘smooth’ curve. The curve intersects the horizontal line at a particular discount rate. What is this discount rate at which the graph intersects the horizontal axis?
[ Look at the graph you draw and write a short paragraph stating what the graph ‘shows?]
b. Consider a project with the expected cash flows:

If the discount rate is 1%, what is this project’s net present value?
If the discount rate is 4%, what is this project’s net present value?
If the discount rate is 10%, what is this project’s net present value?
If the discount rate is 18%, what is this project’s net present value?
Now draw (for yourself) a chart where the discount rate is on the horizontal axis (the “x” axis) and the net present value on the vertical axis (the Y axis).

The curve intersects the horizontal line at a particular discount rate. What is this discount rate at which the graph intersects the horizontal axis?
[ Observe the graph and write a short paragraph stating what the graph ‘shows?]
c. Read the background materials. Then write a one-to-two page paper answering the following question:
Which method do you think is the better one for making capital budgeting decisions – IRR or NPV?
Part 2: Equity and Debt
Read the article below available in ProQuest:
American Superconductor switch ; Westboro company plans to raise money through a stock offering, Andi Esposito. Telegram & Gazette. Worcester, Mass.: Aug 26, 2003. pg. E.1
Abstract (Article Summary)
“AMSC’s management and board of directors believe the decision to forgo a secured debt financing and to adopt an equity financing strategy under current market conditions is in the best interests of our shareholders,” said Gregory J. Yurek, chief executive officer of AMSC. The 265-employee company has operations in Westboro and Devens and in Wisconsin.
Finally, the Northeast blackout “shined a lot of light on the problems we have been talking about as a company for three to four years,” Mr. Yurek said. AMSC products, such as a system installed this year in the aging Connecticut grid and high temperature superconductor power cables and other devices bought by China for its grid, are designed to improve the cost, efficiency and reliability of systems that generate, deliver and use electric power. “We are a company with products out there solving problems today,” he said.
After reading the background materials and doing your research, apply what you learned from the background materials and write a two to three page paper answering the following questions:
What are the advantages and disadvantages for AMSCto forgo their debt financing and take on equity financing? Do you agree with their decision? How can a company’s cost of equity be determined? Is there a tax deduction from the use of debt financing? Please explain.
Explain your answers thoroughly. Be sure to support your opinions on these assignment questions with references to the background materials or to other articles in your paper.
Assignment Expectations
This assignment consists of a quantitative section (Part 1) and an essay section (Part 2) below. U

Once you have identified the new possible investment item, what problems are you going to have in estimating the cash flow that might be emanating from the initial investment and problems in getting it funded? Issues might be:
Risk
Cost
Politics (getting it through committees)
Public Relations
etc.,
Identify a potential capital project for your company describe such a project and write a short summary of the problems you see in getting the funding to see it through.
Part II
Examine the structure and activities in your organization and identify two projects or events that required an investment. One should be a ‘current project’ and the other long-term investment project.
For each project or event, identify the preferable source of funding. You may not have access to the actual source of funding so limit your paper to the source YOU feel is most appropriate. Then explain why you feel that source is most appropriate.

A study of the effect of flavoured and non?flavoured sugar?free chewing gums with different sweeteners, on the pH level in mouth after eating a meal and the development of dental plaque?

Description
Good Morning.
This type of work is called Extended Essay. There is a certain way in which this work should look like and I will
write as many information as possible but the rest will be in submitted guide.
The following work is supposed to be an extended research paper in chemistry on the topic ?A study of the
effect of flavoured and non?flavoured sugar?free chewing gums with different sweeteners, on the pH level in
mouth after eating a meal and the development of dental plaque?.
This is a title that I came up with, however it may be slightly modified if you wish to do so.In the attachment I
am sending you guidelines for writing such work, as well as the resources that I managed to gather. Of course,
feel free to use even more resources of different kinds, since this work is based on external sources, however
there has to also some personal work involved as well.
Since the aim of my work was to investigate the effect of pH, I have carried out an experiment which also has to
be included in my work as well as its results which I am sending in the attachment. Description of the
experiment: During this experiment, I was investigating five chewing gums and for each gum I have carried out
five measurements of pH. I was measuring pH with a pH meter 5 minutes before the meal, 10 minutes after the
meal, then I was chewing the gum for about 15?20 minutes and I measured the pH again. Before each
measurement, I have calibrated the pH meter with three buffer solutions ? one of pH 4, of pH 7 and of pH 10. To
every measurement, I used 5ml of my saliva. pH meter: +/? 0.02 pH. Saliva was measured with the use of
measuring cylinder for 10ml, +/? 0.5ml.After every measurement, pH meter, as well as the cylinder was cleaned
with the use of distilled water.
Even though this type of work is a part of a high school educational programme, the guidelines suggest that it
may in some parts contain academic level information.
The maximum words is 4,000. Title page, contents page, as well as abstract and bibliography are compulsory.
Bibliography and references are very important in this work, that is why, every work cited has to be included in
the bibliography. The introduction has to contain information why the topic is worth investigating, it should
contain references to important books, publications, and other resources that deal with the topic. In the end of
the introduction, I have to establish for the reader that the rest of the essay is worth reading. Introduction should
make clear how the research question relates to existing knowledge on the topic and explained how the topic
chosen is significant.
The body paragraph should be presented in the form of a reasoned argument. it should be clear for the reader
what relevant evidence has been discovered, where/how it has been discovered and how it support the argument.
Sub?headings are useful. The title should provide a clear indication of the focus of the essay. It should be precise
and not necessarily phrased in the form of a question. .Abstract must not exceed 300 words. It presents an

overview of the extended essay, and should therefore be written last. The minimum requirements for the abstract
are for it to state clearly:
1. the research question being investigated
2. the scope of the investigation
3. the conclusion (s) of the extended essay
It should be written on the separate sheet of paper, after the title page.
Illustrations, graphs, or course can appear in the work but they have to be referred to in the essay.
I the attachment there is a general guide for Extended Essay which containes general information about this type
of work. To make things easier, I submit you separate guide only for chemistry (taken from the general guide) 🙂
I also submit sample extended essay on chemistry, and gum’s ingredients used in my experiment (screenshots)
Many resources have to be included in the essay

Prompt: Virtually all of Stanford’s undergraduates live on campus.

Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommate — and us — know you better. (100 to 250 words)

Greetings future roommate!

The first thing that you might notice when you enter the dorm room is the large stash of water bottles in the corner. At the last dorm I stayed in, I had a literal open door policy – anyone could come in and chat, but most people came for the water bottles, so I feel obligated to leave them out.

As a recovering introvert who once refused to look people in the eyes, I?d love to talk. I?m a great listener – I haven?t met a single person yet whose stories didn?t interest me. But I?m not afraid to speak my mind either; I hope you won?t mind having a few debates here and there.

If you don?t feel like talking, how about a game of chess? I love playing blitz and lightning, matches that last only around one to six minutes long. It?s fun because the adrenaline from thinking of several different moves at once is exhilarating, but it?s funny because everyone makes mistakes, but we?re okay with that.

One of my previous roommates introduced me to my favorite movie of all time and I have no doubt that you?ll do something similar. That previous roommate however, also liked to blast rap music 24/7. Know that I?ll be fine with our differences – in fact, I?ll appreciate them – but I can?t guarantee I won?t troll you over them once in a while. I truly hope we?ll become great friends over the next few years.

PS: I apologize for not being more of a morning person. If you find an alarm clock randomly stowed in a corner of the room, please do not move it; I will be waking up like that for a while.
