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.)

Its initial inventory level is $375,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory.

What will be the firm’s quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds?
(3-10) Times-Interest-Earned Ratio
The Morris Corporation has $600,000 of debt outstanding, and it pays an interest rate of 8% annually. Morris’s annual sales are $3 million, its average tax rate is 40%, and its net profit margin on sales is 3%. If the company does not maintain a TIE ratio of at least 5 to 1, then its bank will refuse to renew the loan and bankruptcy will result. What is Morris’s TIE ratio?

Use both the TVM equations and a financial calculator to find the following values.
a. An initial $500 compounded for 10 years at 6%
b. An initial $500 compounded for 10 years at 12%
c. The present value of $500 due in 10 years at a 6% discount rate
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.)
