Question
A company just paid $10 million for a feasibility study. If the company goes ahead with the project, it must immediately spend another $119,793,331 now, and then spend $20 million in one year. In two years it will receive $80 million, and in three years it will receive $90 million. If the cost of capital for the project is 11 percent, what is the project’s NPV?

- Consider the following projects, X and Y where the firm can only choose one. Project X costs $1500 and has cash flows of $678, $652, $347, $111, $54, $16 in each of the next 6 years. Project Y also costs $1500, and generates cash flows of $738, $693, $405 for the next 3 years, respectively. WACC=11%.Calculate the projects’ NPVs, IRRs, payback periods.arrow_forwardBlink of an Eye Company is evaluating a 5-year project that will provide cash flows of $39,300, $80,430, $63,170, $61,250, and $44,470, respectively. The project has an initial cost of $182,560 and the required return is 8.8 percent. What is the project's NPV?arrow_forwardGiant Equipment Ltd. is considering two projects to invest next year. Both projects have the same start-up costs. Project A will produce annual cash flows of $42,000 at the beginning of each year for eight years. Project B will produce cash flows of $48,000 at the end of each year for seven years. The company requires a 12% return. Which project should the company select and why?arrow_forward
- A project requires an initial outlay of - $822,000. Expected cash flows in each of the next four years are $383,000; $ 161,000; $163,000; and $320,000. If the cost of capital is 14%, what is the project's NPV? Round your answer to the nearest penny. Be sure you enter a negative sign (-) if your answer is a negative number.arrow_forwardFastTrack Bikes, Inc. is thinking of developing a new composite road bike. Development will take six years and the cost is $200,000 per year. Once in production, the bike is expected to make $300,000 per year for 10 years. Assume the cost of capital is 10%. a. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity, assuming all cash flows occur at the end of each year. Should the company make the investment? b. By how much must the cost of capital estimate deviate to change the decision? (Hint: Use Excel to calculate the IRR.) c. What is the NPV of the investment if the cost of capital is 14%? Note: Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the appropriate year and that the inflows do not start until year 7.arrow_forwardA new machine will cost $400,000 and generate after-tax cash inflows of $50,000 for 12 years. Find the NPV if the firm uses a 11% opportunity cost of capital. What is the IRR? What is the payback period? (5’)arrow_forward
- You are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $103.2 million upfront. After that, it is expected to produce profits of $30.9 million at the end of every year. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 8.6%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged. If your cost of capital is 8.6%, the NPV of this investment opportunity is S Should you make the investment? (Select the best choice below.) O A. Yes, because the project will generate cash flows forever. O B. No, because the NPV is not greater than the initial costs. O C. Yes, because the NPV is positive. O D. No, because the NPV is less than zero. million. (Round to one decimal place.) The IRR of the investment is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

- A project requires an increase in inventories, accounts payable, and accounts receivable of $120,000, $50,000, and $80,000, respectively. If opportunity cost of capital is 9% and the project has a life of 13 years, and the working capital investments will be recovered at the end of the life of the project, what is the effect on the NPV of the project? Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places. Enter your response below. Numberarrow_forwardA project’s initial cost is 13 million. The company expects a net cashflow of 10 million in year one, but the net cashflow is expected to decrease 1 million each year for the next years. If the company’s MARR is 12%, using NPW/NFW analysis is the project profitable in the first 5 years?arrow_forwardYou are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $98.6 million upfront. After that, it is expected to produce profits of $29.9 million at the end of every year. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 8.1%. Should you make the investment?
