Abstract
This paper explores and analyzes the different aspects of an investment in a company. Two different corporations were analyzed and a decision was made regarding which corporation would be given an investment. The acquisition of two corporations was not allowed, as there was a spending limit among the two. I made substantial analysis for the two corporations, as this is very significant for possible growth of our own company. I analyzed a five-year projected income statement and a five-year projected cash flow. I also determined the Net Present Value, and Internal Rate of Return among the two companies to make a decision. This paper also includes three peer-reviewed sources to combine with the theoretical explanations.
Introduction
The thought of acquiring another corporation has come up among our own, and there are two possible opportunities. Each has a cost of $250,000, and we are not allowed to exceed that cost. The first possible company is Corporation A, which includes revenues of $100,000 in year one, growing by 10% per year. It includes expenses of $20,000 in year one, growing by 15% per year. It also includes depreciation expense of $5,000 each year, a tax rate of 25%, and a discount rate of 10%. The second possible company is Corporation B, which includes revenues of $150,000 in year one, growing by 8% each year. It also includes expenses of $60,000 per year, growing by 10% each year. Lastly, it includes depreciation expense of $10,000 per year, a tax
Our estimated cost of capital, 20.81%, is lower than Ricketts’ expected return, 30%-50%, thus the investment is worthy. However, it’s higher than other pessimistic members’ expected return, 10%-15%, making the decision more complex and requiring further valuation。
EEC calculated the amount of time involved the anticipation of its cost ($3 million). The timeline in recovering their cost of investment ($2 million) initially for the foundation of this investment any profit made in the future of this investment will be justified as a profit for the company. If EEC can anticipate a fast return on its investment it is a profitable wise decision in making the investment financial, it is considered to be an easier way of formulating investments financially. On the basis of one year all cash flows is added together equal to the sum of $2 million originally invested, then it is divided by the annual cash flow of $500,000. The calculation of the payback period would equal four years. After this time frame any financial proceeds will be considered profitable for the company. I conclude that the timeframe is adequate in comparison of the investment in this worthwhile investment financial venture for the company.
This project is to identify and analyze HPL (Hansson Private Label ) company’s new investment decisions based on a series of calculations include: Operating Cash Flows (OCF), Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Sensitivity Analysis. The analysis suggests that Hansson should be very cautious regarding the investment proposal that is developed by his manufacturing team. Although the projections and analysis of the project for the next 10 years proposed by Robert Gates seems reasonable and will generate positive NPV and an IRR greater than the discount rate, NPV is very sensitive with regard to unit volume and unit selling price changes. A decrease in the projected unit volume and selling price might produce
In this essay I would like to elaborate on the investment analysis of two companies, open a space of possibilities in discourse and practices in order to determine which of the two companies to invest in. The essay will commence with a brief overview of the two companies that are being considered. The latter part of the essay will explain and critique the financial position of the two companies and also the strategy and structure of the organization. For this purpose different financial tools will be used. The conclusion will be description and reasons for the company chosen to invest.
There was a significant investment opportunity that the top level executives had proposed that Mr. Case rejected due to his satisfaction with his current income and also lack of desire to enter what could possibly be a riskier product market in order to create a more competitive but less profitable business. The project was projected to cost $1.1 million, with $900,000 spread between the first two years. The expected yield in the first year was $1 million, with a 40% growth rate in years 2-4 and a 12% growth rate thereafter. It was projected to have a before-tax profit margin of 6%. With Mr. Case out of the picture it will be possible to pursue this opportunity and increase growth rates through reinvestment of earnings in related businesses instead of disbursement of dividends. This could mean bigger profits for management if the faster growth rate allowed them to take the company public at a high price-earnings ratio.
The investments of stockholders, corporations depend a lot on to fund their business operations. The company stands to gain and grow from selling their stock, when viewing each entity separately. The investor hopes to gain and earn a profit by investing in a company in hopes that their stock prices will go up. The company and the investor depend on each other. The more opportunity the company has to grow with the more people invests. Also the more opportunities for the company to grow, the happier they are able to make their investors, who in turn spend more money.
Ameritrade plans to make an investment which is 1\3 of its total value. By any standards, this is a very significant amount For Ameritrade. Ameritrade’s balance sheet for 1997 shows that the firm has ~ 53.5$m in cash reserves, which might be considered as possible financing source. The firm’s net income for that same year is much lower and equals to ~13.8$m. The implications are that minor fluctuations in Ameritrade’s cash flow might result in negative net income next year and therefore we conclude that Ameritrade should not use its cash reserves for its planned investments in order to prevent cash flow crunch scenarios. Another option is to finance the project by issuing equity, however at that stage we can’t examine this option based on the available data. That been said and without the ability to find the optimal capital structure, we believe that the whole amount of the planned investment should be financed by bonds issuance. Thus, the interest-bearing debt for our calculations will be 255,000,000$.
Investor within the corporation has invested money in the corporation based of their overall lifespan as an organizations and how they are mass producing there product.
Investment decision is an intricate process that requires careful analysis of individual investment options available for continued profitability. Different financial analyses provide different perspectives. While ratio analysis of an individual company offers the financial health of that company, its comparison with other key investment opportunities may be limited when comparing across different industries. This analysis seeks to utilize a number of statistical and financial results emerging from the analysis of 5 years of data. The results will be analyzed and discussed per individual subheading used in the analysis to provide a broader picture.
Managers of an acquiring company anticipate cost savings pretax of $50 million in the first year of the deal and $100 million the next and that thereafter the savings would grow @ inflation, 2%. Marginal tax rate is 30%. The firm must invest $1 billion to achieve these savings and starting in the third year must spend 5% of the pre-tax savings to sustain the rate of savings. As part of rationalization of operations, some assets will be sold generating a positive cash flow of $20 million net of tax in years 1 and 2 and $10 million in year 3. The analyst judges that these costs savings are rather certain, reflecting a degree of risk consistent with the variability in the firm’s
Johnson Controls, Inc. is a global company that offers services and products aimed at optimizing operational efficiencies and energy of buildings, electronics, automotive batteries and interior systems for automobiles. The company’s headquarters are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange as a fortune 500 company. Johnson Controls predicts that it will be able to increase its capital expenditures investments by $1.7 billion approximately. Most of the planned capital spending by the company will go to financing margin expansion and growth opportunities. This essay highlights the importance of companies to be able to evaluate investment decisions so that current and capital expenditure on proposed projects and schemes can be done prudently to ensure the company’s success (Johnson Controls (2015).
So the investor will invest 32.58860806% of the investment budget in the risky asset and 67.41139194% in the risk-free asset.
Conclusion.This study empirically investigates the relation between WAAC and Investment decision in the firm. The research findings are presented in chapter 4 of results and discussions. This chapter focuses on the conclusion derived from those research findings. We tested how WAAC impacts the investment decision of the firm. We have used data of 10 companies of cement sector listed on KSE, covers the period of 2008-2012. In this study, both variables were being dignified by using the data from the financial statements of the cement sector, and by using the specific formulas. We usedReturn on Investmentratio to measure the investment decision in the firm and WAAC is measured by the cost of each capital component multiplied by its proportional weight and then summing. We run regression, correlation and descriptive tests to find the impact of WAAC on investment decision of the shareholders and future
Personal investment is defined as an individual invest and manage their own financial instrument, such as, stocks, bonds, property and others. This personal investment is in aims of improve the liquidity and efficiency of the equity and capital of the individual. Basically, the individual investors have to develop their own investment plan and framework based on different characteristics of the individual investors.
