- Midlife Crisis Inc. (MCI) has two assets: epsilon1,60 in cash and an investment project. The cash is invested in the risk-free asset which earns 5% per year. The project requires an investment of £800 today and generates an expected cash flow of £1,600 one year from now. This opportunity recurs perpetually each year. Thus, for example, one year from now MCI can again invest £800 and generate epsilon1,600 one year subsequent to that investment. MCI has 800 shares outstanding. The market equity risk premium is 5% per year, and the investment project has a CAPM beta of 1. Assume a Modigliani and Miller world. When answering this question, state any additional assumptions you may need to make. Show your calculations. (a) Should MCI invest in the project? Explain. (b) Suppose MCI's CFO decides to pursue the project. What is the value of MCI? (c) Suppose MCI's CFO decides to take the project and always pay out all free cash flow as a dividend.

You estimate that building the bridge will cost you $50 million up front and that it will generate $4 million in cash flows next year via toll collection and that these cash flows will grow 10% a year for the following four years (Years 2-5). After year 5, you expect the cash flows to continue to grow at the inflation rate (2%). Assuming a cost of capital of 8%, what is the NPV of this project to you? Would you recommend taking on this project and why?arrow_forward
- aaarrow_forwardAn investment opportunity requires an immediate cash outlay of $45,000, and then an $80,000 cash outlay two years from now. Net returns of $10,000, $30,000, and $125,000 are expected at the end of each of the next three years, respectively.

The company expects to replace software and in-field computing equipment at various times.

What is the future worth in year 10 of the planned expenditures, at an interest rate of 13.00% per year? (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)

- Vaughn Inc. is contemplating a capital investment of $84000. The cash flows over the project's four years are: Expected Annual Expected Annual Year Cash Inflows Cash Outflows 1 $31000 $12000 2 44000 19000 3 63000 24000 49000 29000 The cash payback period isarrow_forwardVijayarrow_forwardWe are examining a new project. We expect to sell 6,000 units per year at $74 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual cash flow is projected to be $74 × 6,000 = $444,000. The relevant discount rate is 18 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,710,000. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,540,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,000 units if the first year is a success and revised downward to 4,600 units if the first year is not a success. a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)arrow_forward
