I have a project coming up that I need help with.

Here are the general requirements:

Time Value of Money

A.Calculate the following time value of money figures:

1.Calculate the present value of the company based on the given interest rate and expected revenues over time.

2. Suppose the risk of the company changes based on an internal event. Recalculate the present value of the company.

3.Suppose that a potential buyer has offered to buy this company in five years. Based on the present value you calculated above, what wouldbe a reasonable amount for which the company should be sold at that future time?

B.What are theimplicationsof the change in present value based on risk? In other words, what does the change mean tothe company, and how wouldyou,as a financial manager,interpret it? Be sure to justify your reasoning.

C.Based on the future value of the company that you calculated,andbeing mindful of the need to effectively balance portfolio risk with return, whatrecommendation would you make about purchasing the company as an investment at that price? Be sure to substantiate your reasoning.

The spreadsheet template:

Assume that you have $1,000 to invest, so insert 1000 as your Present Value in the following table. Assume that you want to invest your money for 5 years (insert 5 for Number of Periods). Assume an annual interest rate of 3.00% (insert 3 for Interest Rate per Period). The table will determine the Future Value of your investment. If you input the numbers correctly, your Future Value is computed to be $1.159, which is what your investment will be worth in 5 years. Now revise the input to reflect your actual savings and the prevailing interest rate so that you can see how your savings will grow in 5 years. Even if you have no savings now, you can at least see how the interest rate affects the future value of savings by revising your input in the Interest Rate per Period and then observing the change in the Future Value. Future Value of a Present Amount Present Value $1,500 Number of Periods 5 Interest Rate per Period 3.0% FV = PV*(1+R)^N Future Value $1,739 2. Assume that you have $1,000 to invest at the end of each of the next 5 years, so insert 1000 as your Payment per Period in the following table. Assume that you want to invest your money for 5 years (insert 5 for Number of Periods). Assume an annual interest rate of 3.00% (insert 3 for Interest Rate per Period). The following table will determine the Future Value of your investment. If you input the numbers correctly, your Future Value is computed to be $5,309, which is what your investments will be worth in 5 years. Now revise the input to reflect your actual expected savings per year over the next 5 years, and existing interest rate quotations so that you can estimate how your savings will grow in 5 years. You can now revise the table to fit your own desired level of saving. Future Value of an Annuity Payment per Period $1,500 Number of Periods 5 Interest Rate per Period 3.0% FV = FV(R, N, PMT, (PV), beginning=1, end=0) Future Value $7,964 3.

Assume an annual interest rate of 3.00% (insert 3 for Interest Rate per Period). The following table will determine the Present Value, which represents the amount of savings you need today that would accumulate to be worth $10,000 in 5 years. If you input the numbers correctly, the Present Value is estimated in the table to be $8,606. Now revise the input to reflect your own desired savings amount in 5 years so that you can estimate how much you need now to achieve your savings goal in 5 years. Present Value of a Future Amount Future Amount $20,000 Number of Periods 5 Interest Rate per Period 3.0% PV = FV / (1+R)^N Present Value $17,252 4.

The following table will determine the Annual Payment, which represents the annual payments that will accumulate to your future desired investment. If you input the numbers correctly, your Annual Payment is computed to be $1,884. Now revise the input to reflect your own desired savings amount in 5 years so that you can estimate how much you need to save per year to achieve your savings goal in 5 years. Compute Payment Needed to Achieve Future Amount Future Amount $20,000.00 Number of Periods 5.00 Interest Rate per Period 3.00% PMT = FV / [FV(R, N, -1)] Annual Payment $3,767

Decisions 1. Using the above formulas and understanding of the impact of interest rates and time on your savings, report on how much you must save per year and the return you must earn to meet your savings goal for graduation, and your savings goal in your first three years of post-graduation life.

I need a report on how much to save per year and the return to earn to meet savings goal for graduation, and savings goal in the first three years of post graduation. Can you please use the numbers above that are already calculated in the formula. I have had an answer on this below. I don't understand why the periods don't stay the same for 5 years. The annuity is 7964 I took that divided b y 60 = 132.7 per month and multiplied it by 12 for a year and got 1592.4. Is that the savings for the answer to saving for a year. IF not I need help figuring out the calculation for the return to meet after gradutaion and the next three years post graduation.

Goal 1 Savings Goal for graduation, FV $ 20,000
Time till graduation (Number of periods) 5
Present value of savings $ -
Expected interest rates 3%
Savings needed per year, PMT $3,767.09 =PMT(3%,5,0,20000,)
Goal 2 Savings Goal for 1st year of post graduation, FV $ 15,000
Time till post graduation year 1 (Number of periods) 6
Present value of savings $ -
Expected interest rates 3%
Savings needed per year, PMT $2,318.96 =PMT(3%,6,0,15000,)
Goal 3 Savings Goal for 2nd year of post graduation, FV $ 15,300
Time till post graduation year 1 (Number of periods) 7
Present value of savings $ -
Expected interest rates 3%
Savings needed per year, PMT $1,996.75 =PMT(3%,7,0,15300,)
Goal 4 Savings Goal for 3rd year of post graduation, FV $ 15,606
Time till post graduation year 1 (Number of periods) 8
Present value of savings $ -
Expected interest rates 3%
Savings needed per year, PMT $1,754.99 =PMT(3%,8,0,15606,)

Are my answers correct?

Suppose you invest $10,000 in a savings account earning 2% interest (compounded yearly) with no risk. After 7 years, how much will you have?

Principal = $10,000.00

Rate = 2.00%

Year = 7

Amount (Compound interest) = P x (1 + r/n) ^nt

Where P = Principal

r rate of interest

n = number of time interest is calculated in a year

t = time

Amount after 7 years = 10,000 x (1+0.02) ^7 = $11,486.86

Repeat Question #1, but this time there is an inflation rate of 4%. How does this change your overall return on investment? If you had a chance to invest in an account with a long-term expected rate of 5%, with a 50% chance of earning 0% nominal compound interest and a 50% chance of earning 10% nominal compound interest in each year, would you choose this account, or the savings account? Why?

Effects of inflation on PV = 10,000 x (1/(1+0.04)^7) = $7,599.18

FV Adjusted for inflation = 11,486.86 x (1/(1+0.04)^7) = $ 8,729.07

Overall return on investment will decrease by 1,270.93 = 10,000 – 8,729.07

Repeat #1 with inflation:

Amount after 7 years = 10,000 x ((1+0.02)/(1+0.04)) ^7

10,000 x (0.98) ^7 = $8,729.07.

Safe vs. Risky (not including inflation)

If I get 0%, the amount after 7 years = 10,000 x (1+0.00) ^7 = $10,000.00

If I get 10%, the amount after 7 years = 10,000 x (1+0.10) ^7 = $19,487.17

If I get 5% (expected), amount after 7 years = 10,000 x (1+0.05) ^7 = $14,071.00

I would choose the account with the 5% expected rate of return because it has higher effective annual return over the saving account. There is a higher return, but the risk is higher as compared to the savings account, which provides a certain return.

Suppose you will need $50,000 in 4 years to start up a new business you have planned. With a 5% real interest rate, how much do you have to invest now in order to achieve this goal?

This condition clearly says that we need to calculate the present value of the future earnings and it has to be the present value factor and not annuity.

Therefore, to get 50000 is the future value therefore present value of 50000

Amount to be invested today =PVF@5%,4 *Amount

= .82270 * 50000

= $ 41135.12

Repeat Problem #3, but assume you can contribute an equal amount on a yearly basis. How much would you need to put into the account each year?

Amount to invested each year = Amount /FVAF@5%,4 = 11,600.66

I need help proof reading my assignment please, thank you in advance.

Cost of Debt

The cost of debt is the effective rate that a company pays on its total debt.

As a company acquires debt through various bonds, loans and other forms of debt, the cost of debt is a useful metric. It gives an idea as to the overall rate being paid by the company to use debt financing. This measure is also useful because it gives investors an idea as to the riskiness of the company compared with others. The higher the cost of debt, the higher the risk.

1. Cost of debt (before tax) = Corporate Bond rate of company’s bond rating.

Pepsico 2.75% = 2.75%

Current cost of Debt as of February 17th 2014 = 2.75%

2. Current tax rate

In 2013 PepsiCo’s tax rate was = 23.66%

2013 PepsiCo averaged tax rate of 23.66%

3. Cost of Debt (After Tax) = (Cost of Debt Before Tax) (1 – Tax Rate)

The effective rate that a company pays on its current debt after tax.

.0275 x (1 – .2366) = Cost of debt after tax

The cost of debt after tax for PepsiCo is 2.10%

Cost of Equity or R Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta Equity (Average Market Return – Risk Free Rate)

The cost of equity is the return a firm theoretically pays to its equity investors to compensate for the risk they undertake by investing in their company.

Risk Free Rate = U.S. 10-year bond = 2.74%

Average Market Return 1950 – 2014 = 7%

Beta = PepsiCo’s Beta = 0.37

Risk Free Rate + Beta Equity (Average Market Return – Risk Free Rate)

2.74 + 0.37 (7- 2.74)

2.74 + 0.37 x 4.26

2.74 + 1.58 = 4.31%

Currently, PepsiCo’s has a Cost of Equity or R Equity of 4.31%, so investors should expect to get a return of 4.31% per-year average over the long term on their investment to compensate for the risk they undertake by investing in this company.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital or WACC calculation

The WACC calculation is a calculation of a company’s cost of capital in which each category of capital is equally weighted. All capital sources such as common stock, preferred stock, bonds and all other long-term debt are included in this calculation.

As the WACC of a firm increases, and the beta and rate of return on equity increases, this is an indicator of a decrease in valuation and a higher risk. By taking the weighted average, we can see how much interest the company has to pay for every dollar it finances. For this calculation, you will need to know the following listed below:

Tax Rate = 23.66%

Cost of Debt (before tax) or R debt = 2.75%

Cost of Equity or R equity = 4.31%

Debt (Total Liabilities) for 2013 TTM or D = $53.069 billion

Stock Price = $78.09 (Feb. 17th, 2014)

Outstanding Shares = 1.55 billion

Equity = Stock price x Outstanding Shares or E = $121.04 billion

Debt + Equity or D+E = $174.109 billion

WACC = R = (1 – Tax Rate) x R debt (D/D+E) + R equity (E/D+E)

(1 – Tax Rate) x R debt (D/D+E) + R equity (E/D+E)

(1 – .2366) x .0275 x ($53.069 /$174.109) + .0431 ($121.04 /$174.109)

.7634x .0275 x .3048 + .0431 x .6972

.0064 + .03

= 3.64%

Based on the calculations above, we can conclude that PepsiCo pays 3.64% on every dollar that it finances, or 3.64% cents on every dollar. From this calculation, we understand that on every dollar the company spends on an investment, the company must make $.0673 plus the cost of the investment for the investment to be feasible for the company.

Understanding the WACC of a company is important because securities analysts employ WACC all the time when valuing and selecting investments. In discounted cash flow analysis, for instance, WACC is used as the discount rate applied to future cash flows for deriving a business’s net present value.

Investors use WACC as a tool to decide whether to invest. The WACC represents the minimum rate of return at which a company produces value for its investors. Let’s say a company produces a return of 20% and has a WACC of 11%. That means that for every dollar the company invests into capital, the company is creating nine cents of value. By contrast, if the company’s return is less than WACC, the company is shedding value, which indicates that investors should put their money elsewhere.
