At the end of 2020, Sawyer Company is conducting an impairment test and needs to develop a fair value estimate for machinery used in its manufacturing operations. Given the nature of Sawyer’s production process, the equipment is for special use. (No secondhand market values are available.) The equipment will be obsolete in 2 years, and Sawyer’s accountants have developed the following cash flow information for the equipment. Year Net Cash FlowEstimate ProbabilityAssessment 2021 $6,000 40% 9,000 60% 2022 $ (500) 20% 2,000 60% 4,000 20% Scrap Value 2023 $ 500 50% 900 50% Instructions Using expected cash flow and present value techniques, determine the fair value of the machinery at the end of 2020. Use a 6% discount rate. Assume all cash flows occur at the end of the year.
A BoxerLoi33 company is deciding to undertake a project. The project is quite profitable as it will generate net cash inflows of $20 million per year for 5 years. However, it will cause pollution to the nearby residents. The company can mitigate this pollution by investing additional 10 million at Year 0 but legally it is not compulsory for it to do so. Undertaking this project would cost $60 million without mitigation. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual cash inflows would be $22 million. The risk adjusted WACC is 12%. Calculate the IRR and NPV with and without mitigation. 2.Using Picture formula can the project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do mitigation?
