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.

A 3-year project will cost $375 at the end of year 1 and is expected to produce operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $110 in year 1. $108 in year 2, and $150 in year 3. Depreciation, both real and financial, will be calculated using straight-line depreciation over 3 years. The cost of capital is 8%, and the firm's marginal tax rate is 25%. Calculate the project IRR if 100% equity financing is used. O 1.9 % O-2.0% O 1.7 % O 1.3 %
The XYZ Corporation expects to have sales of $15 million this year. Costs other than depreciation are expected to be 80% of sales, and depreciation is expected to amount to $1 million. XYZ is using $5 million debt at 10%. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than depreciation must be paid for during the year. XYZ's federalolus - state tax rate is 30%.

Hammer Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for $284,000. Management predicts that the machine will produce sales of $187,000 each year for the next 5 years. Expenses are expected to include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead (excluding depreciation) totaling $78,000 per year. The firm uses straight-line depreciation with an assumed residual (salvage) value of $50,000. Hammer's combined income tax rate, t, is 20%. Management requires a minimum after-tax rate of return of 10% on all investments. What is the estimated net present value (NPV) of the proposed investment (rounded to the nearest hundred dollars)?
