A town in Wyoming wants to drill a geothermal well to provide district heating steam and hot water for its businesses and residences. After government subsidies, the capital investment for the well is $342000, and the geothermal well will reduce natural gas consumption for steam and hot water production by $40000 per year. The salvage value of the well is negligible. The simple payback period for this well is 9 years. If the MARR of the town is 10% per year and the life of the geothermal well is 25 years, what is the IRR for this project? Choose the closest answer below. A. The IRR for the project is 8.7% per year. B The IRR for the project is 12.1% per year. C. The IRR for the project is 10.9% per year. D. The IRR for the project is 11,3% per year.

A company is investing in a solar panel system to reduce its electricity costs. The system requires a cash payment of $125,374.60 today. The system is expected to generate net cash flows of $13,000 per year for the next 35 years. The investment has zero salvage value. The company requires an 8% return on its investments. Compute the net present value of this investment.

A new project will cost $40,000 to fund today, and an additional $40,000 next year.  The device built will generate revenues of $17,000 starting in year 2 which increases by 4% each year until the device is sold at the end of year 12.  The device’s salvage value is $10,000.  $2,000 of maintenance is required every year.  What is the NPV of building this device, if the interest to borrow the funds is 15%?  (Round to nearest dollar)

The Adderley Corporation is considering investing in a new machine that has an estimated life of three years. The cost of the machine (in 5 millions) is $500 and the machine will be depreciated straight line over its three-year life to a residual value of $0. The machine will result in sales of 300 million widgets in year 1 with future sales estimated to grow by 10% per year. The price per widget that Adderley will charge its customers is $19 and is to remain constant over the three years. The widgets have a cost per unit to manufacture of $7 each. Installing the machine and the resulting increase in manufacturing capacity will require an increase in various net working capital accounts. It is estimated that the company will need to hold 3% of its annual revenues in cash, 4% of its annual revenues in accounts receivable, 13% of its annual revenues in inventory, but will also benefit from trade financing (ie, accounts payable) equal to 6% of its annual revenues. The firm is in the 28%…

A mining company is considering a new project. Because the mine has received a permit, the project would be legal; but it would cause significant harm to a nearby river. The firm could spend an additional $10 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental Problem, but it would not be required to do so. Developing the mine (without mitigation) would cost $60 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $20 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $21 million. The risk-adjusted WACC is 10%. Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.NPV $ millionIRR  % Calculate the NPV and IRR without mitigation. Round your answers to two decimal places.

A public school is being renovated for $13.5 million. The building has geothermal heating and cooling, high-efficiency windows, and a solar array that permits the school to sell electricity back to the local electric utility. The annual value of these benefits is estimated to be $2.7 million. In addition, the residual value of the school at the end of its 40-year life is negligible. What is the simple payback period and internal rate of return for the renovated school?

The plant manager of RecycleNow! Corp is considering a new pulverizer for one of its recycling sorting facilities. The new machine costs $35,755 making it eligible for the company’s 3-year payback rule. The new machine is expected to produce incremental after-tax profits of $13,150/year. A) What is the payback period? (Carry your answer to 1 decimal place.) B) Should RecycleNow! buy the new pulverizer?

XYZ is considering buying a new, high efficiency interception system. The new system would be purchased today for $47,700.00. It would be depreciated straight-line to SO over 2 years. In 2 years, the system would be sold for an after-tax cash flow of $14,600.00. Without the system, costs are expected to be $100,000.00 in 1 year and $100,000.00 in 2 years. With the system, costs are expected to be $79,000.00 in 1 year and $69,700.00 in 2 years. If the tax rate is 46.50% and the cost of capital is 8.40%, what is the net present value of the new interception system project? a. $11893.11 (plus or minus $50) b. $12724.27 (plus or minus $50) c. $8553.76 (plus or minus $50) d. $9953.14 (plus or minus $50) e. None of the above is within $50 of the correct answer

Scription Inc. has additional cash available for investment and considers replacing the old factory equipment with a new one. There are two options for Scription. One option is to purchase a new equipment from Supplier A for $100,000. Supplier A equipment has a useful life of 10 years with after-tax residual value, $5,000 and can save $60,000 annually. The other option is with Supplier B. Supplier B would charge $120,000 for a new equipment. Supplier B equipment would generate $50,000 annual cost saving. Its useful life is 12 years and the after-tax residual value of $6,000.  Assume the required rate of return for both options is 8%. Using NPV method, determine which option is the more attractive. Must show your computation steps. Use the appropriate tables in Appendix A to obtain the relevant present value factor and round up your final answer to the nearest dollar.
