A firm is considering a project with a 5-year life and an initial cost of $1,000,000. The discount rate for the project is 10%. The firm expects to sell 2,500 units a year for the first 3 years. The after-tax cash flow per unit is $120. Beyond year 3, there is a 50% chance that sales will fall to 400 units a year for both years 4 and 5, and a 50% chance that sales will continue at 2,500 units a year, for both years 4 and 5. The firm will have the option to abandon the project after 3 years (i.e., at t=3) by selling it for $250,000 (after-taxes). You will know which state will be realized in years 4 and 5 (should the project be continued) by the time you have to make the potential abandonment decision at t=3. What is the net present value of this project given the sales forecasts and the abandonment option? In your answer, show the NPV with the option and NPV without the option.

Ebay is considering an investment into a project which it intends to operate for 5 years. The project requires an initial outlay of $6 million. The project will generate cash sales of $2.5 million in the first year. Sales will grow by $1 million each year in the following two years. After the third year, sales will grow by 7%. Cash operating costs, excluding depreciation, will be 20% of sales. Depreciation expenses will be 10% of sales. There are no cash flows associated with the salvage value or the net working capital. Ebay’s tax rate is 30%. What is the IRR of this project? (Round to the nearest two digits)

You are responsible to manage an IS project with a 4-year horizon. The annal cost of the project is estimated at $40,000 per year, and a one-time costs of $120,000. The annual monetary benefit of the project is estimated at $96,000 per year with a discount rate of 6 percent. a. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. b. Perform a break-even analysis (BEA). At what year does break-even occur?

We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 8,800 units per year at $191 net cash flow apiece (including CCA) for the next 16 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $191 × 8,800 = $1,680,800. The relevant discount rate is 10%, and the initial investment required is $5,590,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,550 units if the first year is a success a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.)   NPV $   b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $2,846,000. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.)   The value…

We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 6,000 units per year at $74 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual cash flow is projected to be $74 × 6,000 = $444,000. The relevant discount rate is 18 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,710,000. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,540,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,000 units if the first year is a success and revised downward to 4,600 units if the first year is not a success.   a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

FastTrack​ 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.

Project Z has an initial after-tax cost of $500,000. The project is expected to produce after-tax CFs of $100,000 at the end f each year for the next five years, and has a WACC of 12%. There's a 10% probability that the project will to growth opportunities that have an NPV of 3m at t = 5 and a 90% probability of an NPV of -1,200,000 at t = 5 Is it feasible for the company to expand the project after 5 years?

A project requires an initial investment of $150,000 and promises four annual cash flows of $70k starting next year.  If your required rate of return is 20% for a project of this risk, what is the projects Profitability Index?

You are evaluating a 20 year project. Using a discount rate of 10%, you have calculated the project's NPV as $200. Part 1 After completing your project estimation, the sales group of another division in the company notes that your project will probably cannibalize the sales of their products. They estimate that their after-tax profits will decrease by $27 per year for the 20-year life of the project. What is the new NPV of your project after taking this into account?

RadCo is considering two projects. The first, project A. has $400,000 income after the first year which increases by 8% each year for a total of 5 years. Project B has $450,000 income after the first year which increases by $25,000 each year for a total of 5 years. RadCo can only choose one project. Based on present worth today, which project should RadCo choose? The interest rate is 6% annual compounded annually.
