What is this project's internal rate of return? Should the project be accepted? Why or why not? a. If the discount rate is 11 percent, then the project's NPV is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)

A project will have an initial investment requirement of $5,000. Then, it will generate 5 years of $1,000 per year, with all cash expected to be received at the end of the year. The discount rate is 10%. The hurdle rate is the same as the discount rate, 10%. 9.What is the NPV? 10.What is the Payback? 11.What is the IRR. 12.Do you accept this project? 13.At WHAT HURDLE RATE would the project result in an NPV of exactly $0?

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company is considering an investment in a project that will have a three-year life. The project will provide a 4% internal rate of return and is expected to have a $40,000 cash inflow the first year and a $0 cash inflow in the second year, and $50,000 cash inflow in the third year.

YOU ARE A FINANCIAL ANALYST FOR A COMPANY THAT IS CONSIDERING A NEW PROJECT. IF THE PROJECT IS ACCEPTED, IT WILL USE A FRACTION OF A STORAGE FACILITY THAT THE COMPANY ALREADY OWNS BUT CURRENTLY DOES NOT USE. THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO LAST 10 YEARS, AND THE ANNUAL DISCOUNT RATE IS 10% (COMPOUNDED ANNUALLY). YOU RESEARCH THE POSSIBILITIES, AND FIND THAT THE ENTIRE STORAGE FACILITY CAN BE SOLD FOR €100,000 AND A SMALLER (BUT BIG ENOUGH) FACILITY CAN BE ACQUIRED FOR €40,000. THE BOOK VALUE OF THE EXISTING FACILITY IS €60,000, AND BOTH THE EXISITING AND THE NEW FACILITIES (IF IT IS ACQUIRED) WOULD BE DEPRECIATED STRAIGHT LINE OVER 10 YEARS (DOWN TO A ZERO BOOK VALUE). THE CORPORATE TAX RATE IS 40%. DISCUSS WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF USING THE EXISTING STORAGE CAPACITY?

What is the value of the abandonment option (in millions), in the question below? Round your answer to two decimal places... Sunshine Smoothies Company (SSC) manufactures and distributes smoothies.It is considering the introduction of a "weight loss" smoothie.The project would require a $4 million investment outlay today (t = 0).The after-tax cash flows would depend on whether the weight loss smoothie is well received by consumers.There is a 30% chance that demand will be good, in which case the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2 million at the end of each of the next 3 years.There is a 70% chance that demand will be poor, in which case the after-tax cash flows will be $1 million for 3 years.The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 12%.The firm will know if the project is successful after receiving first year's cash flows.After receiving the first year's cash flows it will have the option to abandon the project.If the firm decides to…

a. What is the net present value (at the discount rate of 10%) of this project?b. Perot’s engineers have determined that spending $10 million more on development will allow them to add even more advanced features. Having a more advanced chip will allow them to price the chip $50 higher in both years ($870 for year 1 and $700 for year 2). What is the NPV of the project if this option is implemented?c. If sales are only 200,000 the first year and 100,000 the second year, what would the NPV of the project be? Assume the development costs and sales price are as originally estimated. Development cost - $1,250,000Estimated development time - 9 monthsPilot testing - $200,000Ramp-up cost - $400,000Marketing and support cost - $150,000/yrSales & Production volume - $60,000/yrUnit production cost - $100Unit price - $205Interest rate - 8%
