Question

Transcribed Image Text:a) You are the CEO of a highly profitable firm and you expect the firm to remain
successful and profitable in the future. Currently, you are evaluating a new,
large investment project that could be initiated at the start of 2022. The project
involves the purchase of a real estate asset requiring an initial outlay of £650
million. You expect that, over the first five years of the project, its initial capital
investment should be fully depreciated. Your accountants have prepared the
following projections on expected sales and cash flows (in millions), and
information on the cost of capital of your company:

Address the following questions, always assuming that cash flows occur at the
end of their respective years:
(i) Estimate the NPV of the investment project at the start of 2022, if it is
100% financed with equity and assuming that the project is terminated at
the end of 2026. Describe your calculations and comment on your
findings.
(ii) Use the WACC method to estimate the NPV of the investment at the
start of 2022, assuming that it is financed 25% with equity and 75% with
debt and that the project is terminated at the end of 2026. Describe your
calculations and comment on your findings.

- The Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each project has an initial after-tax cash outflow of $6,500 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual project after-tax cash flows begin 1 year after the initial investment and are subject to the following probability distributions: Project A Project B Probability Cash Flows Probability Cash Flows 0.2 $6,250 0.2 $ 0.6 6,500 0.6 6,500 0.2 6,750 0.2 19,000 BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 11% and the less-risky project at 8%. a. What is each project's expected annual after-tax cash flow? Round your answers to the nearest cent. Project A: $ Project B: Project B's standard deviation (OB) is $6,185 and its coefficient of variation (CVB) is 0.80. What are the values of gg and CVA? Do not round intermediate calculations.
