Q:
Some of these questions are just definitions, but others require real thought about the make-up of the ratios and relationships among the ratios. We tell our students that to answer some of these questions it is useful (1) to write out the relevant ratio or ratios, (2) then to think about how the ratios would change if the accounting data changed, and (3) occasionally to make up illustrative data to test their conclusions.

Q:
Some people--including the former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (Ben Bernanke) --have argued that one advantage of corporate debt from the stockholders' standpoint is that the existence of debt forces managers to focus on cash flow and to refrain from spending too much of the firm's money on private plane and other "perks." This is one of the factors that led to the rise of LBOs and private equity firms.
a. True
b. False

Q:
Thomson Media is considering some new equipment whose data are shown below. The equipment has a 3-year tax life. Under the new tax law, the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation, so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. The equipment would have a positive pre-tax salvage value at the end of Year 3, when the project would be closed down. Also, additional net operating working capital (NOWC) would be required, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Revenues and operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.

Equipment cost $70,000

Q:
Assume that the rate on a 1-year bond is now 6%, but all investors expect 1-year rates to be 7% one year from now and then to rise to 8% two years from now. Assume also that the pure expectations theory holds, hence the maturity risk premium equals zero. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. The yield curve should be downward sloping, with the rate on a 1-year bond at 6%.
b. The interest rate today on a 2-year bond should be approximately 6%.
c. The interest rate today on a 2-year bond should be approximately 7%.
d. The interest rate today on a 3-year bond should be approximately 7%.

Q:
Assuming that the term structure of interest rates is determined as posited by the pure expectations theory, which of the following statements is CORRECT?

c. The maturity risk premium is assumed to be zero.

Q:
Last year Jandik Corp. had $270,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $18,750 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 37%. Now suppose the new CFO convinces the president to increase the debt-to-total-capital ratio to 48%. Sales, total assets and total invested capital will not be affected, but interest expenses would increase.
