Bonita Inc. is considering a capital investment proposal that costs $227,500 and has an estimated life of four years and no residual value. The estimated net cash flows are as follows:               Year                     Net Cash Flow $97,500 80,000 60,000 40,000 The minimum desired rate of return for net present value analysis is 10%. The present value of $1 at compound interest rates of 10% for 1,2,3, and 4 years is .909, .826, .751, and .683, respectively. Determine the net present value.

Lible, Incorporated, is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.74 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 1 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .75, a cost of equity of 11.4 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 4.2 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +2 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)

What is the PI for Berra's current project?

You are evaluating a project that requires an investment of $97 today and garantees a single cash flow of $115 one year from now. You decide to use 100% debt financing, that is, you will borrow $97. The risk-free rate is 6% and the tax rate is 30%. Assume that the investment is fully depreciated at the end of the year, so without leverage you would owe taxes on the difference between the project cash flow and the investment, that is, $18. a. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity using the APV method. b. Using your answer to part (a), calculate the WACC of the project. c. Verify that you get the same answer using the WACC method to calculate NPV. d. Finally, show that flow-to-equity method also correctly gives the NPV of this investment opportunity.
