Best production company is evaluating the project under profitability index. Initialinvestment is $400,000 and net present value is $1,100,000. Profitability index of theproject is:

ELK, Inc. has compiled this information for a proposed project: sales price = $89 ±3 percent; fixed costs = $21,800 ±1 percent; variable cost per unit = $42.90 ±3 percent; sales quantity = 1,500 units ±5 percent; tax rate = 34 percent; initial investment in fixed assets = $36,500; depreciation method = straight-line to a zero book value over the project's life; project life = 4 years; salvage value of fixed assets = $0; net working capital requirement = $4,800, which will be recouped at the end of the project; discount rate = 12 percent. What is the project's net present value for the pessimistic scenario?

Information for two alternative projects involving machinery investments follows. Project 1 requires an initial investment of $130,900. Project 2 requires an initial investment of $97,200. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Annual Amounts Sales of new product Expenses Materials, labor, and overhead (except depreciation) Depreciation-Machinery Selling, general, and administrative expenses Income Project 1 Years 1-7 Initial investment Net present value Compute the net present value of each potential investment. Use 7 years for Project 1 and 5 years for Project 2. (Negative net present values should be indicated with a minus sign. Round your present value factor to 4 decimals. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.) Net Cash Flows X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Present Value of Annuity at 10% 26,460 X Project 1 $ 105,300 X 70,200…

Management of TSC, Inc. is evaluating a new $79,000 investment with the following estimated cash flows:   Year Cash Flow 1 $ 13,000   2   29,000   3   47,000   4   61,000     The firm’s cost of capital is 14 percent and the project will require that the firm spend $25,000 to terminate the project. Use Appendix B to answer the question. Use a minus sign to enter a negative value, if any. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. The NPV of the investment is $   . Should the firm make the investment? The firm  make the investment.

Two competing project proposals, 1 and 2, are currently under consideration for the manufacture of a new product line. Information for each of the projects is as follows, with cash flows stated in nominal terms: Project Estimated life 1 2 3 years $200 000 5 years $600 000 Initial outlay Annual after-tax cash flows $175 000 $245 000 1.1 Assume that projects 1 and 2 are of average risk to the firm, and the firm's cost of capital is 5.5% p.a., stated in real terms. If inflation is expected to be 4.25% p.a. for each of the next five years, calculate the net present value of each project. Round your answer off to the nearest dollar. 1.2 Which of the two projects you will select to implement? Motivate your answer.
