The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
Utah Enterprises is considering buying a vacant lot that sells for $1.1 million. If the property is purchased, the company's plan is to spend another $5 million today (t = 0) to build a hotel on the property. The after-tax cash flows from the hotel will depend critically on whether the state imposes a tourism tax in this year's legislative session. If the tax is imposed, the hotel is expected to produce after-tax cash inflows of $550,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years, versus $1,100,000 if the tax is not imposed. The project has a 13% cost of capital. Assume at the outset that the company does not have the option to delay the project. Use decision-tree analysis to answer the following questions. What is the project's expected NPV if the tax is imposed? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.234 million should be entered as 1.234, not 1,234,000. Round your answer to three decimal places. Negative value, if any,…

A company is deciding whether to launch a new product or not. The research and development cost incurred by the company for this new product is RO.30,000. The research suggests that the revenue of the company will increase by RO.25,000 per year for next 5 years. However, the new product will have additional operating expenses of RO.9,000 per year as well. If the corporation tax rate is 12%, what will be the net relevant cash flows for the first year of operations, if the product is launched? a. RO.(8,000) Negative b. None of the option c. RO.14,080 d. RO.15,080

XYZ is considering investing in a new and cooking machine at an initial cost of $100,000. After close examination of the investment proposal, the firm’s CFO has determined that the expected after-tax cash flows from this operation for the next 5 years will be as followed: Using the Internal Rate of Return Rule; 7% required internal rate of return.

Assume that a company wants to incorprate the effect of taxes into their NPV analysis. The tax rate is 30%. In year 0, they would sell an old machine for the market value of $50,000. The current book value of this machine is $40,000. Note that cash flows in later years are unimportant for answering this question. Explain how the pre-tax cash inflow from the disposal in year 0, i.e., the $50,000, would be affected by the presence of taxes compared to the absence of taxes. It is sufficient if you indicate the direction of the change and explain why it would be the case.

ABC Industries is considering a 3-year project that will cost $200 today followed by free cash flows to firm of $100 in year 1, $80 in year 2, and $160 in year 3. ABC has $1000 of assets with a debt ratio of 40.00%. ABC's before-tax cost of debt is 7.00% and its cost of equity is 12.00%. Suppose ABC pays a fee of$6 to the investment bankers who help them to raise the $120 Debt capital. Assuming the tax rate is 35.00% and that the flotation cost can be amortized (i.e. deducted) for tax purposes over the 3 year life of the project. The NPV of the project using the APV method, taking into account the flotation costs, is closest to: $8.40 $11.34 $10.66 $7.72
