Question
4. Division D is considering two possible expansion plans. Plan A would expand a current product line at a cost of $8,600,000. Expected annual net
- Compute the payback, the ARR, the NPV, and the profitability index for both plans.
- Compute the estimated IRR of Plan A.
- Use Excel to verify the NPV calculations in Requirement 4(a) and the actual IRR for the two plans. How does the IRR of each plan compare with the company’s required
rate of return ? - Division D must rank the plans and make a recommendation to Dillard’s top management team for the best plan. Which expansion plan should Division D choose? Why?

This expansion requires $240,000 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires a $15,000 investment in net working capital (assume NWC will be recovered at the end of the project). What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 15 percent? Question 1 options: $(3,375.49) $(3,638.02) $(3,750.54) $(3,563.01) $(3,825.55)arrow_forward

- The company estimates that a project with an initial investment of -$25 will produce ten positive cash flows of $4.3 a year at the end of each of the next 10 years. The project's cost of capital is 11%. One year from now, there is a 40% chance that the product demand will be low, in which case the yearly cash flows will be only $2.00. One year from now, there is 60% chance that the product demand will be higher, and the yearly cash flows will be $4.8. Should the company exercise investment timing option and wait a year before proceeding? Prove numerically.arrow_forwardA project has an initial cost of $35,000 and produces cash flows of $20,000, $15,000, $10,000, and $5,000 over the next four years, respectively. The project requires a 13 percent rate of return and has a required discounted payback period of three years. Should the project be accepted? Why or why not?arrow_forwardA company has to make a decision about expanding its production facilities. Research indicates that the desired expansion would require an immediate outlay of $130,000 and an outlay of a further $20,000 in 3 years. The net cash returns are shown below. Find the net present value of the project. According to the net present value criterion, should the expansion project be undertaken if the required rate of return is 10%? Year 1 to Year 8 Year 9 to Year 12 $22,000 per year $18,000 per year The net present value of the expansion project is $ (Round the final answer to the nearest dollar as needed.

- Cash flows from a new project are expected to be $4,000, $5,000, and $3,000 over the next 3 years, respectively. Assuming an initial cost of $10,000 and a required return of 9%, what is the project's NPV?arrow_forwardA project is projected to cost $2,000,000 to undertake. It will generate positive cash inflows as follows: Year 1 - $400,000; Year 2 500,000; Year 3 - $650,000; ear 4 - 750,000; Year 5 - 800,000. What is the project's Profitability Index if the required return is 10% ?arrow_forwardWhat is the expected operating cash flow for year 2 of a project given the following information. To undertake the project, $321,000 must be spent on new equipment. The equipment has an expected life of 7 years and will be depreciated straight- line over that same period to a book value of 0. New annual sales of $211,000 are expected (expected sales are the same each year). Cost of goods sold are projected to be 44% of sales, Fixed cash operating expenses are $46,000 per year. Tax rate is 26%, in the event EBIT is negative, the firm would have a tax credit based on the 26% tax rate.
