Construct the managerial balance sheet from the following information

Cash = $20 million

Accounts payable = $4 million

Short and long term liability = $81 million

Inventory = $15 million

Intangible assets = $0 million

Accounts receiveable =   $3 million

Tangible assets = $80 million

Make sure you identify capital employed and working capital required.

16 Your business uses cash it already has to buy a competitors chemical plant for $60 million. How much does the right hand side of the balance sheet change by ?

A Up by $60 millionB It doesn

Explanation / Answer

15)

A Cash flow will decline


16)

C Down by $60 million

17)

A $10 million   

18)

amount left to depricate = 100000 * (1- 3/4) = 25000


19)

amount raised = 35- 35 = 10 million

20)

NPV goes down

21)

depriciation per year = 200

let x be the price per ball

net cash flow per year = (100x - 250 -10x -200) * (1-0.4) + 200

so

0 = -2000 + [(100x - 250 -10x -200) * (1-0.4) + 200] * [1-(1+0.1)^-10]/0.1


x = 7.32 per ball bearing
