1.Pop Evil, Inc.'s, net income for the most recent year was $10,146. The tax rate was 24 percent. The firm paid $3,430 in total interest expense and deducted $2,195 in depreciation expense. What was the cash coverage ratio for the year?

2.You decided to save money for a travel to Barcelona in two years. You decided to open a savings account and make equal monthly deposits for the next two years. You think that you need to save $5,000. You checked a few banks to find out the best savings account and identified one, the APR of which is 3.6%. You will receive interests every month and you are going to keep those received interests in your savings account. How much do you have to deposit each month into this account to have exactly $5,000 in two years? (i.e., you are going to make 24 monthly deposits starting from the end of this month. You have to have $5,000 in your account right after you make your twenty-fourth deposit)

3.If the appropriate interest rate is 10%, then present value of $725 paid at the beginning of each of the next 20 years is closest to:

Expert Solution

1.Cash Coverage Ratio = (EBIT + Non Cash Expenses)/Interest Expense

= EBIT = earnings before interest and tax

EBT*(1- tax rate) = Net Income , EBT is Earnings before Tax

Therefore EBT = Net Income / .76

=13350

EBIT = 13350 + 3430 = 16780 , EBT + Interest

Cash Coverage Ratio = (16780 + 2195)/3430

=5.53

3.

Here,

Rate of interest= 10%

Amount to be paid every year= $725

Time period= 20 years

Since it is paid in the start of the year it shall be for for 19 years present value plus one year at the original cost.

Present Value=

9 +     725

= $ 6,789.57

So, the present value shall be closest to $ 6,790.

please see the attached file.

4.

a.

EVA = EBIT(1 - Tax%) - (Cost of capital × Total Capitalization)

  • Total capitalization = Long term debt + Shareholder's equity

Tax rate = 11.97/57 = 21%

Total capitalization =$(141 + 240) =$ 381 millions

EVA = [(89 × (1 - 21%)) - ( 8.5% ×381)] millions

=$( 70.31 - 32.385) millions

=$ 37.925 millions

=$ 37.93 millions

b.

Return on capital = (EBIT×( 1 - tax%)/(Total Capitalization)

= (89 ×(1 - 21%))/381

= 70.31/ 381

= 0.18454068241

= 0.1845

=18.45%

c.

Return on equity = Net income/Shareholder's equity

= 45.03/240

= 0.187625

= 18.76%

d.

Yes, the company is creating value for its shareholders.

Because the EVA is positive i.e. $ 37.93 millions and ROC and ROE is greater than Cost of capital.
