Mattice Corporation is considering investing $790,000 in a project. The life of the project would be 6 years. The project would require additional working capital of $29,000, which would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The annual net cash inflows would be $168,000. The salvage value of the assets used in the project would be $39,000. The company uses a discount rate of 13%. (Ignore income taxes.) Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. Required: Compute the net present value of the project. Note: Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount. Net present value

The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
Jasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10. What is the payback period for this project?
Markoff Products is considering two competing projects, but only one will be selected. Project A requires an initial investment of $42,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $6,000 for each of the next 50 years. Project B requires an initial investment of $210,000 and will generate $30,000 for each of the next 10 years. If Markoff requires a payback of 8 years or less, which project should it select based on payback periods?
Shao Airlines is considering the purchase of two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million, and will produce net cash flows of $30 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million, and will produce net cash flows of $25 million per year. Shao plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Inflation in operating costs, airplane costs, and fares are expected to be zero, and the company’s cost of capital is 12%. By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better project (plane)? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each plane?
Friedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.
Staten Corporation is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial outlay of 150,000 and will operate for five years. The cash flows associated with these projects are as follows: Statens required rate of return is 10%. Using the net present value method and the present value table provided in Appendix A, which of the following actions would you recommend to Staten? a. Accept Project X and reject Project Y. b. Accept Project Y and reject Project X. c. Accept Projects X and Y. d. Reject Projects X and Y.
Bouvier Restaurant is considering an investment in a grill that costs $140,000, and will produce annual net cash flows of $21,950 for 8 years. The required rate of return is 6%. Compute the net present value of this investment to determine whether Bouvier should invest in the grill.
Harrison Company is considering taking on a project that requires an initial cost of $180,000. The project has a lifespan of two (2) years, after which after two years the project has no salvage value. The possible incremental after-tax cash flows and their probabilities can be seen in the following table. The required return by the company for this investment is 8%. Questions :a). The expected net present value of this projectb). If it is possible to abandon (abandonment) this project and the abandonment value at the end of the first year is $90,000 after tax. For this project, is abandonment of this project after one year is the right choice? Calculate the expected net present value, assuming that the company would abandon the project if it were useful. Compare with the calculations in the answer to part (a). What are the implications if you are a financial manager?
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $405,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $120,000, which includes depreciation of $30,000. The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $18,000. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to: 3.38 years 2.7 years 4.5 years 2.93 years
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company is considering a project that would require an initial investment of $720,000 and would have a useful life of 8 years. The annual cash receipts would be $178,000 and the annual cash expenses would be $49,000. The salvage value of the assets used in the project would be $45,000. The company uses a discount rate of 10%. Compute the net present value of the project. a $145,590 b $250,645 c ($10,770) d ($31,785) e ($15,770)
Marie's Fashions is considering a project that will require $30,000 in net working capital and $88,000 in fixed assets. The project is expected to produce annual sales of $91,000 with associated costs of $51,000. The project has a 5-year life. The company uses straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the life of the project. The tax rate is 30 percent. Calculate operating cash flow. (Do not include the dollar signs ($). Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount. (e.g., 32)) Your Answer: Answer
Shelly's Boutique is evaluating a project which will increase annual sales by $70,000 and annual costs by $40,000. The project will initially require $100,000 in fixed assets which will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the 5-year life of the project. The applicable tax rate is 34 percent. What is the operating cash flow for this project?
