Farmers Alliance Limited is considering investing in new equipment with the initial cost of project/investment to be $100,000. This project is expected to generate EBIT of $15,000 per year forever (perpetuity). This project or investment can be financed either with $100,000 in equity (assume from internally generated fund) or with $40,000 of debt and $60,000 equity. The shareholders required return on an all equity financed project in this risk class is 10%. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40%. The cost of any debt is 5% before taxes. Note that in the world of Modigliani & Miller, all cash flows are perpetual and debt does not mature. Required: (i) Use the flow to equity method to calculate the value of the project’s net worth to equity holders.

1. A company is considering investing in a project. The future perpetual cash flow is either $750K if the market goes up or $125K if the market goes down next year. The objective probability the market will go up is 20%. The appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return (cost of capital) is 25%. The initial capital investment required at time 0 is $1200K. а. Should the company invest in this project? b. Upon closer inspection the CFO realizes the company actually has some flexibility in managing this project. Specifically, if the market goes down, the company can abandon the project, and liquidate its original capital investment for 75% of its original value. If, however, the market should go up, the company could expand operations, which would result in twice the original PV of the cash flows. To expand the company will have to make an additional capital expenditure of $800K. The CFO wants to know if the company should now proceed with the project with the added flexibilities, and asks…
1) ABC Inc. is looking at investing in a 3-year project that will create cash inflows of $7,000 in the first year, $8,000 in the second year, and $9,000 in the third year. The cost of this project is $18,000, and the required return is 12%. Should the company invest in this project based on the profitability index criterion? Multiple Choice 1.14 1.45 1.38 0.94 1.06 2) ABC Inc., a wedge manufacturer, is deciding between two machines used for making wedges. Machine A will cost $70,000 and Machine B will cost $120,000. The annual before-tax operating costs for Machine A and B are $7,500 and $6,000, respectively. Machine A will last for 2 years before it has to be replaced, whereas Machine B will last for 3 years before it must be replaced. The machines are subject to CCA rate of 30%, and the company's marginal tax rate is 35%. If the required return for ABC is 16%, which machine should ABC choose? Assume that salvage is zero.

I am considering a project with free cash flows in one year of €200,000 or €250,000 with equal probability. The cost of the project is $180,000. The project’s cost of capital is 12% and the risk-free rate is 4%. What is the NPV of the project? If the project is financed by all equity, what is the initial market value of the unlevered equity? If the project is financed with 50% debt (at the risk-free rate), what is the expected return on the levered equity?
