...Monique Davis Strayer University – Online Campus FIN 534 Professor Ronal Lentz Monique Davis December 11, 2011 Company profile ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT) is a global manufacturer and top 10 U.S. defense contractor specializing in electronics and fluids with annual revenues of about $11 billion. As the largest supplier of pumps and systems in the transport and treatment of water, ITT offers its services to local governments in the U.S. and to the governments of developing nations. ITT also manufactures electronics such as night vision goggles and communication systems for the U.S. military. The future of ITT's fluids business depends on the global demand for clean water, especially in developing countries such as China and India. The growth in agriculture, increasingly wealthy populations, and widespread pollution in these developing countries have contributed to the rising demand for clean water. ITT is just one of many competitors working to bring clean water to developing nations. (WIKI Invest, 2011) provides that during the financial period about 58% of ITT's revenue is generated by its defense and information solutions business segment. As a result, a significant proportion of ITT's revenues come directly from U.S. government contracts. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, U.S. defense spending has risen over 35%, reaching $896.2 billion in 2010. ITT consists of three business segments: Defense Electronics...

Answer questions a) to d) and prepare a report (3_4 pages) on your conclusions; Show calculations. Info Systems Technology (IST) manufactures microprocessor chips for use in appliances and other applications. IST has no debt and 100 million shares outstanding. The correct price for these shares is either $14.50 or $12.50 per share. Investors view both possibilities as equally likely, so the shares currently trade for $13.50. IST must raise $500 million to build a new production facility. Because the firm would suffer a large loss of both customers and engineering talent in the event of financial distress, managers believe that if IST borrows the $500 million, the present value of financial distress costs will exceed any tax benefits by $20 million. At the same time, because investors believe that managers know the correct share price, IST faces a lemons problem if it attempts to raise the $500 million by issuing equity. a) Suppose that if IST issues equity, the share price will remain $13.50. To maximize the long term share price of the firm once its true value is known, would managers choose to...

...FIN 534 Chapter 4 Homework Loramie Johnson January 26, 2013 1. (b) If the loan were amortized over 10 years rather than 7 years, and if the interest rate were the same in either case, the first payment would include more dollars of interest under the 7-year amortization plan. This statement is true. The first payment would income more dollars in interest since interest in each period is calculated by multiplying the loan balance at the beginning of the year by the interest rate. At the end of the payment schedule, the principal is less therefore the interest paid is less than the first payment. 2. (b) If you have a series of cash flows, and CF0 is negative but each of the following CFs is positive, you can solve for I, but only if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows exceeds cost. This statement is correct. Equation 4-10 of irregular cash flow can illustrate mathematically. Even if the CF0 is negative but the succeeding cash flows are positive and with value greater than the cost or present value, the value if I can be calculated. 3. (d) 0.30%. Midwest Bank will be charging 0.30% lower on effective annual rate. EAR = [ 1 + (0.065/12)]12 – 1.0 = 0.37% EAR = [ 1 + (0.07/ 1)]1 – 1.0 = 0.07% 4. (a) $3,726.00.

In order to calculate the present value of uneven cash fellow, I would like to identify what is the present value for uneven cash flow means? Although the return or the payment of these cash flow is usually regular, the amounts in most cases is different from period to other period .when we need to determine the present value of certain asst, we cannot use the standard formula, Because using the standard formula assumes that the payment is equal in each period and this now a nurture of the cash flow. The present value of an annuity formula assumes equal cash flows at each time period. However, sometimes cash flows are not even. Learn how to use a formula to calculate the present value of uneven future cash flows. An annuity is an asset that will pay equal amounts of money at regular time periods over its life. Essentially, an annuity can be thought of as a security with equal expected cash flows usually paid annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly. The payment of dividends or payments from a lawsuit settlement are typical annuities. However, expected future cash flows from a security with the uncertainty of market and economic conditions rarely follow such a regular schedule. (Garger &Patsalides, 2010). Now after we exposed to different opinion to uneven present cash...

...Capital Budgeting Assignment 2 Ebony N. Robinson FIN 534: Financial Management January 30, 2011 Professor: Dr. Glenn L. Stevens Strayer University Abstract The Net Present Value rule states that when making an investment decision, choose the project with the highest NPV. If the objective is to maximize wealth, then “the NPV rule always gives the correct answer (Berk and DeMarzo, 2011).” According to the text, we use the NPV rule to evaluate capital budgeting decisions, making decisions that maximize NPV (Berk and DeMarzo, 2011). Determining which projects to accept or reject is based on whether or not the project has a positive NPV. NPV compares the value of a dollar today to the value of that same dollar in the future, taking inflation and returns into account. Based upon the principle of this rule, a project with a positive NPV is accepted because it ensures that the future value of that same dollar will be greater. The following scenario is provided to evaluate Bauer Industries’ project to manufacture lightweight trucks. Bauer Industries is an automobile manufacturer. Management is currently evaluating a proposal to build a plant that will manufacture lightweight trucks. Bauer plans to use a cost of capital of 12% to evaluate this project. Based on extensive research, it has prepared the following incremental free cash flow projections (in millions of dollars): | ...

...From the e-Activity, examine ethical behavior within firms in relation to financial management. Provide two (2) examples of companies that have been guilty of ethics-based malfeasance related to financial management and determine why their comeuppance was deserved. The two companies that I focus on in this section are Goldman Sachs company and WorldCom in the telecom world. Goldman Sachs was charged by the securities exchange commission, with fraud because the company developed and marketed an artificial collateralized debt system. Paulson & Co had the same invested and at stake with in the equity of ABACUS as believed by ACA. In circumstance, they did not have a concern in the success. By October. 24, 2007, the investors were defrauded by omitted facts or misstatements which led to downgrading of 83% of the RMBS in the ABACUS portfolio and 17 percent were on negative watch. (SEC Charges Goldman Sachs with Fraud concerning structuring and marketing of CDO Tied to Subprime Mortgages in 2010. Goldman established to pay $550 million in a settlement (Duggan, T. 2013). The vice president of Goldman was found liable for fraud too. The WorldCom scandal is another well-known unethical scandal.
