Buena Vision Clinic is considering an investment that requires an outlay of 600,000 and promises a net cash inflow one year from now of 810,000. Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the 810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2. What does this tell you about the meaning of NPV?
You are considering an investment that will cost $15,000 and generate returns of $4,000 at the end of year 1, $5,000 at the end of year 2, $6,000 at the end of year 3 and $3,000 at the end of year 4. Calculate the NPV of the investment using a cost of capital of j1=6.0%. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Your Answer: Answer
You are a financial analyst for the Hittle Company. The director of capital budgeting has asked you to analyze two proposed capital investments, Projects X and Y. Each project has a cost of $10,000, and the cost of capital for each is 12%. The projects’ expected net cash flows are as follows: Expected Net Cash Flows Year Project X Project Y 0 −$10,000 −$10,000 1 6,500 3,500 2 3,000 3,500 3 3,000 3,500 4 1,000 3,500 a. Calculate each project’s payback period, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), modified internal rate of return (MIRR), and profitability index (PI). b. Which project or projects should be accepted if they are independent? c. Which project should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive? d. How might a change in the cost of capital produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankings of these two projects? Would this conflict exist if r were 5%? (Hint: Plot the NPV profiles.) e. Why does the conflict exist?

An investment with total costs of $10,000 will generate total revenues of $11,000 for one year. Management thinks that since the investment is profitable, it should be made. Do you agree? What additional infromation would you want? If funds cost 12 percent, what would be your advice to management? Would your answer be different if the cost of capital is 8 percent?

Below are four cases that you will have to solve using Excel spreadsheets. 1st case The company COMERCIAL SA has two investment alternatives that present the following information: PROJECT A B It is requested Initial investment. $25,000 $22,000 Cash flows year 1 1. Determine the internal rate of return. 2. Determine the present value. $7,000 $12,000 The discount rate for the project will be 10% and the MARR will be 20%. 3. Determine the recovery period. 4. Define which is the most viable project. Year 2 cash flows $15,000 $8,000 Year 3 cash flows $18,000 $12,000
a. Capital budgeting is the process of identifying, analyzing and selecting investment projects whose returns are expected to extend beyond one year. This capital budgeting decision for an investment requires the analysis of some factors. List and explain three (3) of these factors. b. You have an investment opportunity that requires an initial investment of GH¢5,000 today and will pay GH¢6,000 in a year’s time. If an alternative investment with similar risk pays 25%, should you invest? c. You will retire in 18 years and you currently have GH¢250,000 saved, and your plan is to have GH¢1,000,000 at your retirement. What annual interest rate must you earn to reach this goal, assuming you do not save any additional funds? d. With practical example(s), differentiate between compounding and discounting. e. As a Business Finance student, what is the essence of the valuation principle in your personal life?
If the cost of capital is 18 percent and an investment costs $51,000, should you make this investment if the estimated cash flows are $8,000 for years 1 through 3, $11,000 for years 4 through 6, and $21,000 for years 7 through 10? Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the questions. Use a minus sign to enter a negative value, if any. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. NPV: $ The investment be made.
please colud you explain me what how you using calculator or computation to determine NPV or IRR. A firm has the following investment alternatives: Year A B C 1 $400 $--- $-- 2 400 400 --- 3 400 800 --- 4 400 800 1,800 Each investment costs $1,400, and the firm's cost of capital is 10 percent. a. What is each investment's internal rate of return? b. Should the firm make any of these investment? c. What is each investment's net present value? d. Should the firm firm make any of these investments?
2. A firm considers investing in a project. In Year 0 it needs to make an investment of $50,000. If it is expected to earn $50,000, $60,000, $70,000 in years 1,2,3 respectively, decide whether the firm should make the investment. Consider the required rate of return of 8%. You may use xis to make calculations. Make recommendations for both cases.
A firm has two possible investment with the following cash inflows. Each investment cost $480, and the cost of capital is ten percent. Cash Inflows Year A B 1 $300 $200 2 200 200 3 100 200 a. Based only on visual inspection, which investment is to be preferred and why? b. Based on each investment’s net present value, which investment(s) should the firm make? c. Based on each investment’s internal rate of return, which investment(s) should the firm make? Is this the same answer you obtained in part b? d. If the cost of capital were to increase to 14 percent, which investment(s) should the firm make?
