Amalgamated Industries is considering a 4-year project. The project is expected to generate operating cash flows of $11 million, $14 million, $16 million, and $9 million over the four years, respectively. It will require initial capital expenditures of $41 million dollars and an intitial investment in NWC of $24 million. The firm expects to generate a $11 million after tax salvage value from the sale of equipment when the project ends, and it expects to recover 100% of its nwc investments. Assuming the firm requires a return of 10% for projects of this risk level, what is the project's NPV? $(1,356,123) $(1,410,368) $(1,383,246) $(1,315,440) $(1,423,929)

Jasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10. What is the payback period for this project?
Roberts Company is considering an investment in equipment that is capable of producing more efficiently than the current technology. The outlay required is 2,293,200. The equipment is expected to last five years and will have no salvage value. The expected cash flows associated with the project are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the projects payback period. 2. Compute the projects accounting rate of return. 3. Compute the projects net present value, assuming a required rate of return of 10 percent. 4. Compute the projects internal rate of return.
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?
Postman Company is considering two independent projects. One project involves a new product line, and the other involves the acquisition of forklifts for the Materials Handling Department.
