Molteni Motors Inc. recently reported $6 million of net income. Its EBIT was $13 million, and its tax rate was 40%. What was its interest expense? (Hint: Write out the headings for an income statement, and then fill in the known values. Then divide $6 million net income by 1 − T = 0.6 to find the pre-tax income. The difference between EBIT and taxable income must be the interest expense. Use this procedure to work some of the other problems.)

d. The present value of $500 due in 10 years at a 12% discount rate
(4-14) Uneven Cash Flow Stream
a. Find the present values of the following cash flow streams. The appropriate interest rate is 8%. (Hint: It is fairly easy to work this problem dealing with the individual cash flows. However, if you have a financial calculator, read the section of the manual that describes how to enter cash flows such as the ones in this problem. This will take a little time, but the investment will pay huge dividends throughout the course. Note that, when working with the calculator’s cash flow register, you must enter CF0 = 0. Note also that it is quite easy to work the problem with Excel, using procedures described in the Chapter 4 Tool Kit.)
Year Cash Stream A Cash Stream B
1 $100 $300
2 400 400
3 400 400
4 400 400
5 300 100
b. What is the value of each cash flow stream at a 0% interest rate?

(4-26) Reaching a Financial Goal
You need to accumulate $10,000. To do so, you plan to make deposits of $1,250 per year—with the first payment being made a year from today—into a bank account that pays 12% annual interest. Your last deposit will be less than $1,250 if less is needed to round out to $10,000. How many years will it take you to reach your $10,000 goal, and how large will the last deposit be?
