- Alset Inc. is considering manufacturing and selling high-end electric automobiles for the next four years. It hired two research and development teams. Team #1: This team believes that it would be realistic to sell 16 cars for $295,000 after-tax profit per car (i.e., operating cash flow per car). The R&D team also estimates $14.1 million in required initial investment. A 13 percent annual rate of return would be appropriate for discounting all future cash flows. a. Calculate the Net Present Value of this project according to Team #1. (Let's call it the "base-case Net Present Value".) (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.) b. Team #2: This team has done a more sophisticated analysis, which may potentially greatly affect the project's revised Net Present Value! The project goes as planned for four years…arrow_forwardInnis consulting groups investment manager funds for a number of companies and wealthy Clients.

- Capital Investment Decision:Accounting Rate-of-Return Method Boink Corporation manufactures metal hard hats for on-site construction workers. Recently, management has tried to raise productivity to meet the growing demand from the real estate industry. The company is now thinking about buying a new stamping machine. Management has decided that only capital investments that yield at least a 14 percent return will be accepted. The new machine would cost $325,000; revenue would increase by $98,400 per year; the residual value of the new machine would be $32,500; and operating cost increases (including depreciation) would be $74,600.Using the accounting rate-of-return method, decide whether the company should invest in the machine. Show all computations to support your decision.arrow_forwardBy outbidding its competitors, Turbo Image Processing (TIP), a defense contractor, has received a contract worth $7,300,000 to build navy flight simulators for U.S. Navy pilot training over two years. For some defense contracts, the U.S. government makes an advance payment when the contract is signed, but in this case, the government will make two progressive payments: $4,300,000 at the end of the first year and the $3.000,000 balance at the end of the second year. The expected cash outflows required in order to produce these simulators are estimated to be $1,000,000 now, $2.000,000 during the first year, and $4,320,000 during the second year. The expected net cash flows from this project are summarized as follows: In normal situations, TIP would not even consider a marginal project such as this one in the first place. However, hoping that TIP can establish itself as a technology leader in the field. management felt that it was worth outbidding its competitors by providing the lowest…arrow_forwardAssume that the risk-free rate (RF) is 3% and the market risk premium (km - Rp) is 8%.

- Projects differ in risk, and risk analysis is a critical component of the capital budgeting process. Consider the case of United Recycling Inc.: United Recycling Inc. is one of the largest recyclers of glass and paper products in the United States. The company is looking into expanding into the cardboard recycling business. The company’s CFO has performed a detailed analysis of the proposed expansion. The company’s CFO used sophisticated software to analyze a large number of scenarios and generate estimated rates of return and risk indexes. Based on the information given, determine which of the statements is correct. The company’s CFO used a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the project’s financial model. The company’s CFO conducted a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the project’s financial model. Evaluating risk is an important part of the capital budgeting process.

- Recently, Air Liquide signed a long-term contract with Yan’an Energy and Chemical Co., a subsidiary of Yanchang Petroleum Group—one of China’s largest firms engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and production as well as oil refining. The new contract specifies that Air Liquide invest approximately 80 million euros in two air separation units (ASUs), which will supply air gases for Yan’an’s production of plastics. Air Liquide is a French multinational firm that supplies industrial gases to a wide range of industries, including chemical manufacturers. Why is a long-term contract preferable to a spot exchange or vertical integration between Yan’an and Air Liquide?

It has to decide whether to spend another $500 million today to get final approval from the FDA in two years. Once approved, expected profits will be $50 million per year for the foreseeable future. The firm’s cost of capital is 5%. Should the firm proceed? (Hint: use the perpetuity formula used to value projects found in the readings to find the value of the profit stream that starts in two years, and then discount that.) 2. Suppose some doctors do not see any advantage of using the drug over what they currently prescribe for patients and the profit stream is only $25 million per year. Should the firm proceed? 3. Going back to the original information, suppose there is a delay of a year in getting FDA approval. Should the firm proceed? 4. Going back to the original information, suppose the firm’s’ cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm proceed?arrow_forwardA firm has a capital budget of $30,000 and is considering three possible independent projects. Project A has a present outlay of $12,000 and yields $4,231 per annum for 5 years. Project B has a present outlay of $10,000 and yields $4,184 per annum for 5 years. Project C has a present outlay of $17,000 and yields $5,802 per annum for 10 years. Funds which are not allocated to one of the projects can be placed in a bank deposit. Identify seven combinations of project investments and a bank deposits which exhaust the budget. Which of the above combinations should the firm choose when the bank deposit rate is (i) 15% or (ii) 20%? Explain your answer and show your work. Suppose there is no option to deposit in the bank, but the projects are "divisible" (e.g. you may have 25% of project A). Which combination should the firm choose? Explain your answer and show your work. Use 15% as the deposit rate (discount rate).arrow_forward
