CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL
MANAGEMENT
Basic
1. Capital budgeting (deciding on whether to expand a manufacturing plant), capital structure (deciding
whether to issue new equity and use the proceeds to retire outstanding debt), and working capital
management (modifying the firms credit collection policy with its customers).
2. Disadvantages: unlimited liability, limited life, difficulty in transferring ownership, hard to raise
capital funds. Some advantages: simpler, less regulation, the owners are also the managers,
sometimes personal tax rates are better than corporate tax rates.
3. The primary disadvantage of the corporate form is the double taxation to shareholders of distributed
earnings and dividends. Some advantages include: limited liability, ease of transferability, ability to
raise capital, unlimited life, and so forth.
4. The treasurers office and the controllers office are the two primary organizational groups that
report directly to the chief financial officer. The controllers office handles cost and financial
accounting, tax management, and management information systems, while the treasurers office is
responsible for cash and credit management, capital budgeting, and financial planning. Therefore,
the study of corporate finance is concentrated within the treasury groups functions.
5. To maximize the current market value (share price) of the equity of the firm (whether its publicly-
traded or not).
6. In the corporate form of ownership, the shareholders are the owners of the firm. The shareholders
elect the directors of the corporation, who in turn appoint the firms management. This separation of
ownership from control in the corporate form of organization is what causes agency problems to
exist. Management may act in its own or someone elses best interests, rather than those of the
shareholders. If such events occur, they may contradict the goal of maximizing the share price of the
equity of the firm.

7. Such organizations frequently pursue social or political missions, so many different goals are
conceivable. One goal that is often cited is revenue minimization; i.e., provide whatever goods and
services are offered at the lowest possible cost to society. A better approach might be to observe that
even a not-for-profit business has equity. Thus, one answer is that the appropriate goal is to
maximize the value of the equity.
8. Presumably, the current stock value reflects the risk, timing, and magnitude of all future cash flows,
both short-term and long-term. If this is correct, then the statement is false.
B-2 Solutions
9. An argument can be made either way. At the one extreme, we could argue that in a market economy,
all of these things are priced. There is thus an optimal level of, for example, ethical and/or illegal
behavior, and the framework of stock valuation explicitly includes these. At the other extreme, we
could argue that these are non-economic phenomena and are best handled through the political
process. A classic (and highly relevant) thought question that illustrates this debate goes something
like this: A firm has estimated that the cost of improving the safety of one of its products is $30
million. However, the firm believes that improving the safety of the product will only save $20
million in product liability claims. What should the firm do?
10. The goal will be the same, but the best course of action toward that goal may be different because of
differing social, political, and economic institutions.
11. The goal of management should be to maximize the share price for the current shareholders. If
management believes that it can improve the profitability of the firm so that the share price will
exceed $35, then they should fight the offer from the outside company. If management believes that
this bidder or other unidentified bidders will actually pay more than $35 per share to acquire the
company, then they should still fight the offer. However, if the current management cannot increase
the value of the firm beyond the bid price, and no other higher bids come in, then management is not
acting in the interests of the shareholders by fighting the offer. Since current managers often lose
their jobs when the corporation is acquired, poorly monitored managers have an incentive to fight
corporate takeovers in situations such as this.
15. How much is too much? Who is worth more, Jack Welch or Tiger Woods? The simplest answer is
that there is a market for executives just as there is for all types of labor. Executive compensation is
the price that clears the market. The same is true for athletes and performers. Having said that, one
aspect of executive compensation deserves comment. A primary reason executive compensation has
grown so dramatically is that companies have increasingly moved to stock-based compensation.
Such movement is obviously consistent with the attempt to better align stockholder and management
interests. In recent years, stock prices have soared, so management has cleaned up. It is sometimes
argued that much of this reward is simply due to rising stock prices in general, not managerial
performance. Perhaps in the future, executive compensation will be designed to reward only
differential performance, i.e., stock price increases in excess of general market increases.

The cash flow from assets can be positive or negative, since it represents whether the firm
raised funds or distributed funds on a net basis. In this problem, even though net income and
OCF are positive, the firm invested heavily in both fixed assets and net working capital; it
had to raise a net $104 in funds from its stockholders and creditors to make these
investments.
d. Cash flow to creditors = interest net new LTD = 100 0 = $100

Cash flow to stockholders = cash flow from assets cash flow to creditors
= 104 100 = $204 = dividends net new equity;
Net new equity = 150 + 204 = $354
The firm had positive earnings in an accounting sense (NI > 0) and had positive cash flow
from operations. The firm invested $400 in new net working capital and $1,000 in new fixed
assets. The firm had to raise $104 from its stakeholders to support this new investment. It
accomplished this by raising $354 in the form of new equity. After paying out $150 of this in
the form of dividends to shareholders and $100 in the form of interest to creditors, $104 was
left to meet the firms cash flow needs for investment.

22. Liquidity measures how quickly an asset can be converted to cash at or near market value. High
liquidity helps lower the possibility of financial distress, however, liquid assets generally earn
lower returns. Cash, for example, earns no return.
CHAPTER 3
WORKING WITH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basic
1. a. If inventory is purchased with cash, then there is no change in the current ratio. If inventory is
purchased on credit, then there is a decrease in the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0.
b. Reducing accounts payable with cash increases the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0.
c. Reducing short-term debt with cash increases the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0.
d. As long-term debt approaches maturity, the principal repayment and the remaining interest
expense become current liabilities. Thus, if debt is paid off with cash, the current ratio increases
if it was initially greater than 1.0. If the debt has not yet become a current liability, then paying it
off will reduce the current ratio since current liabilities are not affected.
e. Reduction of accounts receivables and an increase in cash leaves the current ratio unchanged.
f. Inventory sold at cost reduces inventory and raises cash or accounts receivable, so the current
ratio is unchanged.
g. Inventory sold for a profit raises cash in excess of the inventory recorded at cost, so the current
ratio increases, whether it is sold for cash or on credit.
2. A current ratio of 0.50 means that the firm has twice as much in current liabilities as it does in
current assets; the firm potentially has poor liquidity. If pressed by its short-term creditors and
suppliers for immediate payment, the firm might have a difficult time meeting its obligations. A
current ratio of 1.50 means the firm has 50% more current assets than it does current liabilities. This
probably represents an improvement in liquidity; short-term obligations can generally be met com-
pletely with a safety factor built in. A current ratio of 15.0, however, might be excessive. Any excess
funds sitting in current assets generally earn little or no return. These excess funds might be put to
better use by investing in productive long-term assets or distributing the funds to shareholders.
3. a. Quick ratio provides a measure of the short-term liquidity of the firm, after removing the effects
of inventory, generally the least liquid of the firms current assets.
b. Cash ratio represents the ability of the firm to completely pay off its current liabilities balance if
immediate payment was demanded.
c. Total asset turnover measures how much in sales are generated by each dollar of firm assets.
d. Equity multiplier represents the leverage of an equity investor of the firm; it measures the dollars
worth of firm assets each equity dollar has a claim to.
e. Times interest earned ratio provides a relative measure of how well firm operating earnings
cover current interest obligations.
f. Profit margin is the accounting measure of bottom-line profit per dollar of sales.
g. Return on assets is a measure of bottom-line profit per dollar of assets.
h. Return on equity is a measure of bottom-line profit per dollar of equity.
i. Price/earnings ratio reflects how much value the market places on a dollar of accounting
earnings for a firm.
4. NWC = $950 = CA CL; CA = $950 + $2,500 = $3,450

Current ratio = CA / CL = $3,450/$2,500 = 1.38 times

Days sales in receivables = 365 days / receivables turnover = 365 / 4.70 = 77.66 days
The average collection period for an outstanding accounts receivable balance was 77.66 days.
7. Inventory turnover = COGS / inventory = $1,375,151 / $325,800 = 4.22 times

Days sales in inventory = 365 days / inventory turnover = 365 / 4.22 = 86.49 days
On average, a unit of inventory sat on the shelf 86.49 days before it was sold.
8. Total debt ratio = 0.45 = TD / TA = TD / ( TD + TE ); 0.55(TD) = 0.45(TE)

Debt/equity ratio = TD / TE = 0.45 / 0.55 = 0.82
Equity multiplier = 1 + D/E = 1.82

Market-to-book ratio = Share price / BVPS = $65 / $44 = 1.48 times
P/E ratio = Share price / EPS = $65 / $2.64 = 24.6 times
10. ROE = ( PM )( TAT )( EM ) = (.13)(1.20)(1.9) = 29.64%

12. Payables turnover = COGS / payables = $9,273 / $1,283 = 7.23 times

Days sales in payables = 365 days / payables turnover = 365 / 7.23 = 50.48 days
The company left its bills to suppliers outstanding for 50.48 days on average. A large value for this
ratio could imply that either (1) the company is having liquidity problems, making it difficult to pay
off its short-term obligations, or (2) that the company has successfully negotiated lenient credit terms
from its suppliers.
13. EM = 1 + D/E = 2.25

ROE = ( ROA )( EM ) = .073( 2.25 ) = 16.43%
ROE = NI / TE; NI = ( .1643 )( $245,000 ) = $40,253.50

As long as both net income and sales are measured in the same currency, there is no problem; in fact,
except for some market value ratios like EPS and BVPS, none of the financial ratios discussed in the

CHAPTER 6
INTEREST RATES AND BOND VALUATION
Basic
1. The yield to maturity is the required rate of return on a bond expressed as a nominal annual interest
rate. For noncallable bonds, the yield to maturity and required rate of return are interchangeable
terms. Unlike YTM and required return, the coupon rate is not a return used as the interest rate in
bond cash flow valuation, but is a fixed percentage of par over the life of the bond used to set the
coupon payment amount. For the example given, the coupon rate on the bond is still 10 percent, and
the YTM is 8 percent.
2. Price and yield move in opposite directions; if interest rates rise, the price of the bond will fall. This
is because the fixed coupon payments determined by the fixed coupon rate are not as valuable when
interest rates risehence, the price of the bond decreases.

All else held equal, the premium over par value for a premium bond declines as maturity approaches,
and the discount from par value for a discount bond declines as maturity approaches. In both cases,
the largest percentage price changes occur at the shortest maturity lengths.
14. If both bonds sell at par, the initial YTM on both bonds is the coupon rate, 8 percent. If the YTM
suddenly rises to 10 percent:
PA = $40(PVIFA5%,4) + $1000(PVIF5%,4) = $964.54

All else the same, the lower the coupon rate on a bond, the greater is its price sensitivity to changes
in interest rates.

return can be observed in the market by finding the YTM on outstanding bonds of the company.

Bond closed up 1/2, so yesterdays close = 104 1/2
18. a. Bond price is the present value term when valuing the cash flows from a bond; YTM is the
interest rate used in valuing the cash flows from a bond.
b. If the coupon rate is higher than the required return on a bond, the bond will sell at a premium,
since it provides periodic income in the form of coupon payments in excess of that required by
investors on other similar bonds. If the coupon rate is lower than the required return on a bond,
the bond will sell at a discount, since it provides insufficient coupon payments compared to that
required by investors on other similar bonds. For premium bonds, the coupon rate exceeds the
YTM; for discount bonds, the YTM exceeds the coupon rate, and for bonds selling at par, the
YTM is equal to the coupon rate.
Current yield is defined as the annual coupon payment divided by the current bond price. For
premium bonds, the current yield exceeds the YTM, for discount bonds the current yield is less
than the YTM, and for bonds selling at par value, the current yield is equal to the YTM. In all
cases, the current yield plus the expected one-period capital gains yield of the bond must be
equal to the required return.

Using the payback criterion and a cutoff of 2.5 years, accept project A and reject project B.
4. $340,650/$1,000,000 = .3407 or 34.07%
5. 0 = $30,000 + $25,000/(1+IRR) + $10,000/(1+IRR)3 ; IRR = 10.59% < r = 11%, so reject the project.
6. NPV = $30,000 + $25,000/1.10 + $10,000/1.103 = $240.42; NPV > 0 so accept the project.
NPV = $30,000 + $25,000/1.14 + $10,000/1.143 = $1,320.46; NPV < 0 so reject the project.
7. NPV = $1,500 + $400(PVIFA6%, 7) = $732.95; accept the project if r = 6%

IRR = 9.53%
IRRS > IRRL, so IRR decision rule implies accept project S. This may not be a correct decision
B-22 Solutions
IRR = 82.06% , 85.76%

When there are multiple IRRs, the IRR decision rule is ambiguous; in this case, if the
correct IRR is 82.06%, then we would accept the project, but if the correct IRR is
-85.76%, we would reject the project.
12. PI = [ $1,000/1.08 + $800/1.082 + $800/1.083 ] / $2,000 = 1.123

decision is always to maximize NPV.
14. a. PBA = 3 + ($115K/$375K) = 3.31 years; PBB = never

Payback criterion implies accept project A, because it pays back sooner than project B.

B: NPV = $20K + $10K/1.15 + $5K/1.152 + $3K/1.153 + $1K/1.154 = $4,979.33
NPV criterion implies accept project A, because project A has a higher NPV than
project B.

Profitability index criterion implies accept project A, because its PI is greater than project
Bs.
e. In this instance, the NPV criterion happens to be consistent with the other methods.

16. If a project has a positive NPV and conventional cash flows then the project does pay back, although
the decision rule may not agree with NPV analysis. The profitability index must be larger than one
and the IRR must be greater than the required return.
Intermediate
17. a. Payback period is the time required for an investment to generate sufficient cash flows to recover
its initial cost. The decision rule for the payback period is to accept a project if the calculated
payback period is less than the cutoff value.
b. Ignores the time value of money, requires an arbitrary cutoff point, ignores cash flows beyond the
cutoff, biased against long-term projects and new projects.
Chapter 8 B-23
c. Easy to understand, adjusts for uncertainty of later cash flows, biased toward liquidity. The
payback period is often used for small, everyday investment decisions and does provide some
control over expenditures.
18. a. AAR is calculated as average net income divided by average book value. The decision rule is to
accept a project if the average accounting return exceeds a target average accounting return.
b. Problems Not a true rate of return, ignores the time value of money, uses an arbitrary
benchmark cutoff, based on accounting returns, not cash flows, and based on book values, not
market values. The most redeeming feature is that the required information is usually available.
19. a. NPV is the present value of all cash inflows minus the present value of all cash outflows. The
decision rule is to accept all projects with a positive NPV and reject all projects with a negative
NPV.
b. NPV takes into account all cash flows and the time value of money. If a projects NPV is $2,500,
the project will increase shareholder wealth by $2,500
20. a. IRR is the discount rate which yields a zero NPV. The IRR is the rate of return on the project.
The decision rule is to accept the project if the IRR is greater than the required return.
b. IRR and NPV are calculated in the same method and will always give the same answer when
evaluating conventional cash flows. NPV is the preferred method when cash flows are not
conventional or when two projects are mutually exclusive.
c. The IRR provides a simpler method of communicating information concerning the project. It also
provides a practical advantage since the appropriate discount rate is often not required.
21. a. The profitability index is the present value of future cash flows divided by the initial investment.
The decision rule is to accept the project if the profitability index is greater than one.
b. The profitability index and NPV will give identical answers when evaluating an individual
project. The profitability index may lead to an erroneous decision when comparing mutually
exclusive projects.

CHAPTER 9
MAKING CAPITAL INVESTMENT DECISIONS
Basic
1. Financing costs are important to the firm as a whole, however the mix of debt and equity a firm
chooses to use is determined by the managers of the firm and determines how the project cash flows
are to be divided between owners and creditors. The financing decision needs to be analyzed
separately from the project, not as part of the project.
2. The $6 million acquisition cost of the land six years ago is a sunk cost. The $500,000 current
appraisal of the land is an opportunity cost if the land is used rather than sold off. The $8 million
cash outlay is the initial fixed asset investment needed to get the project going. The $300,000
grading cost is also part of the initial cash outlay. Therefore, the proper year zero cash flow to use in
evaluating this project is $500,000 + 8,000,000 + 300,000 = $8.8 million.
3. Sales due solely to the new product line are 15,000($19,000) = $285 million. Increased sales of the
compact cars occur because of the new product line introduction; thus 7,000($11,000) = $77 million
in new sales is relevant. Erosion of luxury sedan sales is also due to the new mid-size sedans; thus
4,000($29,000) = $116 million loss in sales is relevant. The net sales figure to use in evaluating the
new line is thus $285 million + $77 million $116 million = $246 million.

Best Case: price = $287.50, variable costs = $114.75, fixed costs = $6.8M, quantity = 115,000
12. An estimate for the impact of changes in price on the profitability of the project can be found from
the sensitivity of the NPV with respect to price; NPV/P. This measure can be calculated by
finding the NPV at two different price levels and forming the ratio of the changes in these
parameters. Whenever a sensitivity analysis is performed, all other variables are held constant at
their base-case values.
13. Forecasting risk is the risk that a poor decision is made because of errors in projected cash flows.
The danger is greatest with a new project because the cash flows are probably harder to predict.
14. The option to abandon reflects our ability to reallocate assets if we find our initial estimates were too
optimistic. The option to expand reflects our ability to increase cash flows from a project if we find
our initial estimates were too pessimistic. Since the option to expand can increase cash flows and the
option to abandon reduces losses, failing to consider these two options will generally lead us to
underestimate a projects NPV.
15. The marketing survey is a sunk cost and should be ignored.

processing of investors, that assets are fairly priced. An implication of this is that, on average, the
typical market participant cannot earn excessive profits from a particular trading strategy. However,
that does not mean that a few particular investors cannot outperform the market over a particular
investment horizon. Certain investors who do well for a period of time get a lot of attention from the
financial press, but the scores of investors who do not do well over the same period generally get
considerably less attention from the financial press.
18. a. If the market is not weak form efficient, a trading pattern may be developing for technical
analysts. For (2), (3) and (4), no information about the future price of the stock can be determined.
b. Profit opportunities exist for (1) and (2) since the market has not fully absorbed all public
information. No opportunities exist in (3) and (4) since the market has already priced the anomaly
you believe you have found.
c. Profit opportunities may exist for (1), (2) and (3). Since senior management has been buying
stock, you may assume it is based on private information which is not priced in the stock. No
opportunities exist for (4).

Although stock B has more total risk than A, it has much less systematic risk, since its beta is much
smaller than As. Thus A has more systematic risk, and B has more unsystematic and more total risk.
Since unsystematic risk can be diversified away, A is actually the riskier stock despite the lack of
volatility in its returns. Stock A will have a higher risk premium and a greater expected return.

19. The SML approach explicitly considers risk and can be applied to non-dividend paying companies.
The disadvantages are the two estimations, the market risk premium and beta. It also depends on the
past to predict the future.
20. The cost of debt for a particular company is found by the YTM of current debt in the market. If the
firm has only private debt, its cost of debt is simply the rate that lenders demand. If the debt held by
institutional investors is rated, we could use the YTM from bonds with the same rating and maturity.
21. a. Shareholders return is the dividend yield and capital gains yield. He is neglecting the capital gains
yield.
b. The cost of debt is based on the YTM the market requires on new debt, not payments on
outstanding debt.
c. Since equity is riskier than debt, equity will have a higher expected return, thus, he has failed to
accurately assess the reasonableness of his estimates. In addition, he is not accounting for the fact
that interest expense is tax deductible and the cost of debt should be evaluated on an aftertax basis.
22. The divisional cost of capital should be used when a company has different divisions which have
different levels of risk. The riskier division would get more money since they would have greater
returns, however this ignores the greater risk. A major problem which occurs is that it becomes
difficult to separate the needed factors to estimate the cost of capital. For example, while it is
possible to obtain a beta estimate for the firm as a whole, there is no beta for the various divisions of
the firm. Two methods that are often used are the pure play approach and the subjective approach.
The pure play approach uses the WACC based on companies in similar lines of business. The
subjective approach adjusts the WACC based on the risk of the project.

DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

1. It would not be irrational to find low-dividend, high-growth stocks. The university should be
indifferent between receiving dividends or capital gains since it does not pay taxes on either one
(ignoring possible restrictions on invasion of principal, etc.). It would be irrational to hold municipal
bonds. Since the university does not pay taxes on interest income it receives, it does not need the tax
break associated with municipal bonds. Therefore, it should prefer to hold higher yielding, taxable
bonds.

5. Repurchasing the shares will reduce shareholders equity by $8,750.

Shares bought = $8,750/$35 = 250; New shares outstanding = 6,750.
After repurchase, share price = $236,250 equity/6,750 shares = $35. The repurchase is effectively the
same as the cash dividend because you either hold a share worth $35 or a share worth $33.75 and
$1.25 in cash. Therefore you participate in the repurchase according to the dividend payout
percentage; you are unaffected.
6. PO = $4,500,000 equity/100,000 shares = $45. New shares outstanding = 100,000(1.10) = 110,000

Repurchase: $6,000/$52 = 115.38 shares will be repurchased. If you choose to let your shares
be repurchased, you have $52 in cash; if you keep your shares, theyre still worth $52.
b. Dividends: EPS = $6.00; P/E = $40/$6.00 = 6.67

c. A share repurchase would seem to be the preferred course of action. Only those shareholders
who wish to sell will do so, giving the shareholder a tax timing option that he or she doesnt get
with a dividend payment.
B-42 Solutions
8. No. Mutual fund shareholders who cannot participate in such alternative dividends will have their
stock value reduced by other shareholders who can participate in such dividends. The mutual funds
would be better off investing in stocks which pay a cash dividend which will benefit the fundholders
directly.
9. Dividends are a cash outflow for corporations. IPOs are undertaken by new companies which are
unlikely to have cash available to pay dividends to shareholders.
10. The biggest drawback to a residual dividend policy is that the dividend is unstable. This is a problem
because investors often to want a somewhat predictable cash flow. Also, if there is information
content to dividend announcements, then the firm may be inadvertently telling the market that it is
expecting a downturn in earnings prospects when it cuts a dividend, when in reality its prospects are
very good. In a compromise dividend policy, the firm maintains a relatively constant dividend. It
increases dividends when it expects earnings to remain at a sufficiently high level to pay the larger
dividend, and it lowers the dividend only if it absolutely has to.

RAISING CAPITAL

1. He could have done worse since his access to oversubscribed and, presumably, underpriced issues
was restricted while the bulk of his funds were allocated to stocks from the undersubscribed and,
quite possibly, overpriced issues.
2. IPOs are not always underpriced. Your ability to make money is directly related to your ability to
purchase only the IPOs that are underpriced.
3. They are riskier and harder to market from the investment banks perspective.
4. Yields on comparable bonds can usually be readily observed, so pricing a bond accurately is much
less difficult.
5. It is clear that the stock was sold too cheaply, so Netscape had reason to be unhappy.
6. No, but in fairness, pricing the stock in such a situation is difficult.
7. Its an important factor. Only 5 million shares were underpriced. The other 33 million were, in
effect, priced completely correctly.
8. If you receive 1,000 shares of each, the profit is 1,000($4) 1,000($2) = $2,000
Expected profit = 500($4) 1,000($2) = $0. This is an example of the winners curse.
9. X(1 .06) = $25M; X = $26,595,744.68 required total funds from the sale.

10. X(1 .06) = $25.350M; X = $26,968,085.11 required total funds from the sale.
number of shares offered = $26,968,085.11/$40 = 674,202
11. a. The price will probably go up because IPOs are generally underpriced. This is especially true for
smaller issues such as this one.
b. It is probably safe to assume that they are having trouble moving the issue, and it is likely that the
issue is not substantially underpriced.

1. Disbursement float; Available balance = $200,000; Book balance = $115,000
2. Collection float: Available balance = $175,000; Book balance = $325,000
3. Disbursement float = $6,000; Collection float = -$15,000; Net float = -$9,000
4. Net disbursement float is more desirable because the bank thinks the firm has more money than it
actually does, and the firm is therefore receiving interest on funds it has already spent.
5. The firm has a net disbursement float of $500,000. If this is an ongoing situation, the firm may be
tempted to write checks for more than it actually has in its account.
6. a. About the only disadvantage to holding T-bills are the generally lower yields compared to other
money market instruments.
b. Some ordinary preferred stock issues pose both credit and price risks that are not consistent with
most short-term cash management plans.
c. The primary disadvantage of NCDs is the normally large transaction sizes, which may not be
feasible for short-term investment plans of many smaller to medium-sized companies.
d. The primary disadvantages of the commercial paper market are the higher default risks associated
with the securities, and the lack of an active secondary market which may excessively restrict the
flexibility of corporations to meet their liquidity adjustment needs.
7. Terms of sale, credit analysis and collection policy.
8. The credit period, the type of credit instrument, the cash discount and the discount period.
9. a. 90 days until the account is overdue; remittance: 600($50) = $30,000

b. 3% discount; 30 day discount period; remittance: .97($30,000) = $29,100
c. Implicit interest: $30,000 $29,100 = $900; 90 30 = 60 days credit
10. 1. Perishability and collateral value

2. Consumer demand
3. Cost, profitability and standardization
4. Credit size
5. The size of the account
6. Competition
7. Customer type
If the credit period exceeds the customers operating cycle, then the firm is financing the receivables
and other aspects of the customers business that go beyond the purchase of the selling firms
merchandise.
B-48 Solutions
11. a. B: A is likely to sell for cash only, unless the product really works. If it does, they might grant
longer credit periods to entice buyers.
b. A: Landlords have significantly greater collateral, and that collateral is not mobile.
c. A: Since As customers turn over inventory less frequently, they have a longer inventory period
and will most likely have a longer credit period as well.
d. B: Since As merchandise is perishable and Bs is not, B will probably have a longer credit
period.
e. A: Rugs are fairly standardized and they are transportable, while carpets are custom fit and not
particularly transportable.
12. a. A sight draft is a commercial draft that is payable immediately.

b. A time draft is a commercial draft that does not require immediate payment.
c. A bankers acceptance is when a bank guarantees the future payment of a commercial draft.
d. A promissory note is an IOU that a customer signs.
e. A trade acceptance is created when the buyer accepts the commercial draft and promises to pay it
in the future.
13. Trade credit is usually granted on an open account. The invoice is the credit instrument.
14. Credit costs: required return on receivables, losses from bad debt, costs of managing credit and credit
collections.
No-credit costs: lost sales.
The sum of these are the total costs of granting credit.
15. 1. Character: Determines if a customer is willing to pay his debt.

2. Capacity: Determines if a customer is able to pay debts out of operating cash flow.
3. Capital: Determines the customers financial reserves in case problems occur with
operating cash flow.
4. Collateral: Assets that can be liquidated to pay off debt in case of default.
5. Conditions: Customers ability to weather an economic downturn and whether such a
dowturn is likely.
16. Nominal interest = .02/.98 = .0204 for 60 15 = 45 days

EAR = (1.0204)365/45 1 = 17.80%
a. .03/.97 = .0309; EAR = (1.0309)365/45 1 = 28.00%
b. EAR = (1.0204)365/15 1 = 63.46%
c. EAR = (1.0204)365/50 1 = 15.88%
17. The three main categories of inventory are: raw material (input to the firms production in process),
work-in-progress (partially completed products) and finished goods (products ready for sale). From
the firms perspective, the demand for finished goods is not dependent on the demand for other types
of inventory. The demand for raw material and work-in-progress is derived from, or dependent on,
the firms needs for these inventory types in order to achieve the desired levels of finished goods.
18. JIT systems reduce inventory amounts. Assuming no adverse effects on sales, inventory turnover
will increase. Since assets will decrease, total asset turnover will increase. Recalling the DuPont
identity, an increase in total asset turnover, all else being equal, has a positive effect on ROE.
19. Carrying costs should be equal to order costs. Since carrying costs are low relative to the order costs,
the firm should increase the inventory level.
Chapter 17 B-49
20. Carrying costs = (8,000/2)($24) = $96,000

Ordering costs = (52)($1,600) = $83,200
EOQ = [2(52)(8,000)($1,600)/$24]1/2 = 7,448
The firms policy is not optimal, since the costs are not equal. Brooks should decrease the order size
and increase the number of orders.
21. Carrying costs = (250/2)($13) = $1,625

Ordering costs = (52)($800) = $41,600
EOQ = [2(52)(250)($800)/$13]1/2 = 1,265
Number of orders per year = 52(250)/1,265 = 10.28 times
The firms policy is not optimal, since the costs are not equal. Hall should increase the order size
and decrease the number of orders.

1. a. $100(Lit 1,783/$1) = Lit 178,300

b. .05609
c. Lit 3M($.0005609/Lit 1) = $1,682.70
d. Singapore dollar
e. Mexican peso
f. (SFr 1.5033/$1)($0.02681/BF 1) = SFr .04030/BF 1 ; this is a cross rate.
g. Most valuable: Kuwait Dinar = $3.2765
Least valuable: Turkish Lira = $0.00000407
2. a. 100, since (100)($1.6913/1) = $169.13

b. 100, since (100)($1.6913/1)(FF 6.0495/$1) = FF 1,023.15
c. (FF 6.0495/$1)($1.6913/1) = FF 10.2315/1 ; 1/10.2315 = 0.09774/FF 1
3. a. F6 month = 128.44 (per $). The yen is selling at a premium because it is more expensive in the
forward market than in the spot market ($0.007587 versus $0.007786).
b. F3 month = $0.5569/DM 1. The dollar is selling at a discount because it is less expensive in the
forward market than in the spot market (DM 1.8045 versus DM 1.7956).
c. The value of the dollar will fall relative to the yen, since it takes more dollars to buy one yen in
the future than it does today. The value of the dollar will also fall relative to the deutsche mark,
because it will take more dollars to buy one deutsche mark in the future than it does today.
4. a. The U.S. dollar, since (Can$1)/(Can$1.40/$1) = $0.7143

b. (Can$1.95)/(Can$1.40/$1) = $1.39. Among the reasons that absolute PPP doesnt hold are
tariffs and other barriers to trade, transactions costs, taxes, and differential tastes.
c. The U.S. dollar is selling at a discount, because it is less expensive in the forward market than
in the spot market (Can$1.35 versus Can$1.40).
d. The Canadian dollar is expected to appreciate in value relative to the dollar, because it takes
fewer Canadian dollars to buy one U.S. dollar in the future than it does today.
e. Interest rates in the United States are probably higher than they are in Canada.
5. a. The dollar is selling at a premium because it is more expensive in the forward market than in
the spot market (SF 1.62 versus SF 1.60).
b. The franc is expected to depreciate relative to the dollar because it will take more francs to buy
one dollar in the future than it does today.
c. Inflation in Switzerland is higher than in the United States, as are interest rates.
6. a. (115/$1)($1.67/1) = 192.05/1
b. The yen is quoted too low relative to the pound. Take out a loan for $1 and buy 115. Use the
115 to purchase pounds at the cross-rate - 115/180 = 0.6389. Use the pounds to buy back
dollars and repay the loan0.6389(1.67) = $1.0668; arbitrage profit is 6.696 per dollar used.
Chapter 18 B-51
7. The exchange rate will increase as it takes progressively more deutsche marks to purchase a dollar.
This is the relative PPP relationship.
8. a. The Australian dollar is expected to weaken relative to the dollar, because it will take
more A$ in the future to buy one dollar more than it does today.
b. The inflation rate is higher in Australia.
c. Nominal interest rates in Australia are higher; relative real rates in the two countries are the same.
9. A Yankee bond is most accurately described by d.
10. France: RFC = (FF 5.9917 FF 6.0495)/FF 6.0495 + .04 = 3.04%

Japan: RFC = (128.44 131.80)/131.80 + .04 = 1.45%
Switzerland: RFC = (SFr 1.4730 SFr 1.5033)/SFr 1.5033 + .04 = 1.98%
11. US: $12M(1.0050)3 = $12,180,902

Great Britain: ($12M)(0.59/$1)(1.0075)3/(0.61/$1) = $11,869,668; invest in U.S.
12. Relative PPP: FF 4.5 = (FF 5)(1 + {hFC hUS})3 ; (4.5/5)1/3 1 = -.0345
Inflation in U.S. is expected to exceed that in the France by 3.45% over this period.
13. No change in exchange rate: profit = 60,000($170 [(W207,300)(W.0007236/$1)])=$1,199,863.20

If exchange rate rises: profit = 60,000($170 [(W207,300)(W.0007236(1.1)/$1)]) = $299,849.52
If exchange rate falls: profit = 60,000($170 [(W207,300)(W.0007236(.9)/$1)]) = $2,099,876.88
Breakeven: $170 = W207,300/ST ; ST = W.0008201/$1 = 13.34% increase
14. a. RUS 1.061/2 1 = 2.96% ; RG 1.081/2 1 = 3.92%

If IRP holds, then F6 month = (DM 1.70)(1 + {.0392 - .0296}) = DM 1.7163
Since F6 month = DM 1.75, an arbitrage exists, the forward premium is too high.
Borrow DM 1 today at 3.92% interest. Agree to a 6 month forward contract at DM 1.75.
Convert the loan proceeds into $1/DM 1.70 = $0.5882 today. Invest these dollars at 2.96%,
ending up with $0.6056. Convert the dollars back to deutsche marks as $0.6056(DM 1.75/$1) =
DM 1.0598. Repay the DM 1 loan, ending with a profit of 1.0598 1.0392 = DM 0.0206.
b. F6 month = (DM 1.70)(1 + {.0392 - .0296}) = DM 1.7163
15. a. The yen is expected to get stronger since it will take less yen to buy one dollar in the future than it
does today.
b. hUS hJAP (103 / 105) 1 = .019; (1 .019)4 1 = .0740
The approximate inflation differential between the U.S. and Japan is 7.40% annually
Intermediate
16. a. False. If goods are rising faster in Great Britain, it will take more pounds to buy the same
amount of goods one dollar can buy; pound will depreciate relative to the dollar.
b. False. The forward market will already reflect the projected deterioration of the deutchse mark
relative to other currencies. Only if you feel that there might be additional, unanticipated
weakening of the deutchse mark that isnt reflected in the forward rates today will the forward
hedge protect you against additional declines.
c. True. The market will only be correct on average, you would be correct all of the time.
B-52 Solutions
17. a. American exporters: their situation in general improves because a sale of the exported goods for
a fixed number of DMs will be worth more dollars.
American importers: their situation in general worsens because the purchase of the imported
goods for a fixed number of DMs will cost more in dollars.
b. American exporters: they would generally be better off if the British governments intentions
result in a strengthened pound.
American importers: they would be generally worse off if the pound strengthens.
c. American exporters: they would be generally worse off because their goods would be more
expensive in Ireland, reducing sales. If the sale price were kept at a fixed number of punts, Irish
sales would be worth less in dollars.
American importers: would be generally better off since Irish goods would cost less in dollars
to pay for.
d. American exporters: would generally be much worse off because in an extreme case of fiscal
expansion like this one would make American goods prohibitively expensive to buy, or lease.
Brazilian sales, if fixed in cruzeiros would become worth an unacceptably low number of
dollars.
American importers: would be generally be much better off because Brazilian goods will
become much cheaper to purchase in dollars
