Carlson Inc. is evaluating a project in India that would require a $6.0 million after-tax investment today (t = 0). The after-tax cash flows would depend on whether India imposes a new property tax. There is a 50-50 chance that the tax will pass, in which case the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $1,100,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. If the tax doesn't pass, the after-tax cash flows will be $2,100,000 for 5 years. The project has a WACC of 10.2%. The firm would have the option to abandon the project 1 year from now, and if it is abandoned, the firm would receive the expected $1.10 million cash flow at t = 1 and would also sell the property and receive $4.95 million after taxes at t = 1. If the project is abandoned, the company would receive no further cash inflows from it. What is the value (in thousands) of this abandonment option? Do not round intermediate calculations. a. $1,124 b. $739 c. $705 d. $671 e. $34

Imperial Motors is considering producing its popular Rooster model in China. This will involve an initial investment of CNY 5.3 billion. The plant will start production after one year. It is expected to last for five years and have a salvage value at the end of this period of CNY 513 million in real terms. The plant will produce 100,000 cars a year. The firm anticipates that in the first year, it will be able to sell each car for CNY 78,000, and thereafter the price is expected to increase by 4% a year. Raw materials for each car are forecasted to cost CNY 31,000 in the first year, and these costs are predicted to increase by 3% annually. Total labor costs for the plant are expected to be CNY 2.4 billion in the first year and thereafter will increase by 7% a year. The land on which the plant is built can be rented for five years at a fixed cost of CNY 313 million a year payable at the beginning of each year.

King Racing Company (KRC) is considering which of two mutually exclusiveengine development projects to pursue. King's RPX design has an expectedlife of 4 years and projected cash inflows are $3.6 million at the end ofeach of the first two years and $1.8 million in each of the next twoyears. King's RPB design is more flexible and has an eight-year life.The projected end-of-year flows from the RPB design are $2.4 million ineach of the first two years and $2.0 million in each of the next sixyears. Both projects require an initial investment of $5.4 million, andKing's cost of capital is 12 percent. Frequent changes in racing rulesand engine technology make engine development risky, but King feels thatthe basic designs can be refined and modified. Thus, King often assumesthat continuous replacements can be made as a project's life ends.What is the net present value (on an eight-year extended basis) of theproject with the most value to the company?
