- You are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $96.2 million upfront and will take one year to build. After that, it is expected to produce profits of $30.2 million at the end of every year of production. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 8.2%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR. Does the IRR rule agree with the NPV rule? Here is the cash flow timeline for this problem: Years Cash Flow ($ million) 0 -96.2 1 2 + 30.2 3 30.2 4 30.2 Forever 30.2arrow_forward(NPV, PI, and IRR calculations) Fijisawa Inc. is considering a major expansion of its product line and has estimated the following free cash flows associated with such an expansion. The initial outlay would be $1,850,000, and the project would generate incremental free cash flows of $600,000 per year for 5 years. The appropriate required rate of return is 9 percent. a. Calculate the NPV. b. Calculate the PI. c. Calculate the IRR. d. Should this project be accepted?arrow_forwardYou are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $95.1 million up front and will take one year to build. After that it is expected to produce profits of $31.8 million at the end of every year of production. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 7.6%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged. The NPV of the project will be $ million.

- Please provide correct solution for correct answerarrow_forwardYou have a potential project for which you want to establish the value of any possible real options. The project will have an initial cost of $86 million, which must be paid at the time of investment. You realize that the project has four possible cash flows starting in year 1 and continuing forever. First, there is a 22% chance of earning $1.02 million per year starting in year 1. Second, there is a 26% chance of earning $6.54 million per year starting in year 1. Third, there is a 20% chance the the project will earn $5.82 million per year. Fourth, there is a chance that the project will earn $3.22. These are the only four possibilities. In 2 year(s), you will be able to improve the quality of your manufacturing process to increase the net CFs from the project if you would like to. The cost of this will be $62 million, and the cash flows will increase beginning immediately when you make this investment (the CFs increase starting the same year that you pay the improvement cost) and…arrow_forwardYou run a construction firm. You have just won a contract to build a government office complex. Building it will require an investment of $9.5 million today and $5.5 million in one year. The government will pay you $21.7 million in one year upon the building's completion. Suppose the interest rate is 10.3%. a. What is the NPV of this opportunity? b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today? www. a. What is the NPV of this opportunity? The NPV of the proposal is $ million. (Round to two decimal places.) b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today? (Select the best choice below.) O A. The firm can borrow $19.67 million today and pay it back with 10.3% interest using the $21.7 million it will receive from the government. B. The firm can borrow $15.0 million today and pay it back with 10.3% interest using the $21.7 million it will receive from the government. O C.
