- Assume an investment has cash flows of -$25, 200, $7,000, $8,000, $8,500, and $9,000 for Years 0 to 4, respectively. What is the NPV if the required return is 12 percent? (do not round intermediate calculations, enter negative number with a minus sign and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., -32.16.) Should the project be accepted or rejected? (write either "accepted" or "rejected")arrow_forwardThere are two projects under consideration by the Rainbow factory. Each of the projects will require an initial investment of $34,927 and is expected to generate the following cash flows: First Year Second Year Third Year Total Alpha Project $32,500 $22,500 $4,500 $59,500 Beta Project 7,000 23,500 27,904 58,404 A. Calculate the internal rate of return on both projects. Use the IRR spreadsheet function to calculate internal rate of return. Alpha Project fill in the blank % Beta Project fill in the blank % B.

- Yokam Company is considering two alternative projects. Project 1 requires an initial investment of $420,000 and has a present value of all its cash flows of $1,350,000. Project 2 requires an initial investment of $5 million and has a present value of all its cash flows of $6 million. (a) Compute the profitability index for each project.(b) Based on the profitability index, which project should the company select?arrow_forwardConsider a project with free cash flow in one year of $139,138 or $187,005, with either outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $110,000, and the project's cost of capital is 23%. The risk-free interest rate is 7%. (Assume no taxes or distress costs.) a. What is the NPV of this project? b. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment, the project is sold to investors as an all-equity firm. The equity holders will receive the cash flows of the project in one year. How much money can be raised in this way that is, what is the initial market value of the unlevered equity? c. Suppose the initial $110,000 is instead raised by borrowing at the risk-free interest rate. What are the cash flows of the levered equity, and what is its initial value according to M&M? a. What is the NPV of this project? The NPV is $ 22578. (Round to the nearest dollar.) b.

The annual before-tax operating costs for Machine A and B are $7,500 and $6,000, respectively. Machine A will last for 2 years before it has to be replaced, whereas Machine B will last for 3 years before it must be replaced. The machines are subject to CCA rate of 30%, and the company's marginal tax rate is 35%. If the required return for ABC is 16%, which machine should ABC choose? Assume that salvage is zero.

- Consider these two alternatives. Solve, a. Suppose that the capital investment of Alternative 1 is known with certainty. By how much would the estimate of capital investment for Alternative 2 have to vary so that the initial decision based on these data would be reversed? The annual MARR is 15% per year. b. Determine the life of Alternative 1 for which the AWs are equal.arrow_forwardA firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the IRR rule.
