- Dynamic is considering investing in a rooftop solar network to generate its own power. Any unused power will be sold back to the local utility company. Between cost savings and new revenues, the company expects to generate $1,560,000 per year in net cash inflows from the solar network installation. The solar network would cost $8.8 million and is expected to have a 18-year useful life with no residual value. Calculate (i) the internal rate of return (IRR) and (ii) the net present value (NPV) assuming the company uses a 12% hurdle rate. (i) Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR).

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?arrow_forward
- Halloween, Incorporated, is considering a new product launch. The firm expects to have an annual operating cash flow of $9.2 million for the next 8 years. The discount rate for this project is 13 percent for new product launches. The initial investment is $39.2 million. Assume that the project has no salvage value at the end of its economic life. a. What is the NPV of the new product? (Do not round intermediate calculations and After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $26.2 million. If the estimates of remaining cash flows are revised based on the first year’s experience, at what level of expected cash flows does it make sense to abandon the project?arrow_forwardA company is developing a special vehicle for Arctic exploration. The development requires an initial investment of $80,000 and investments of $50,000 and $40,000 for the next two years, respectively. Net returns beginning in Year 4 are expected to be $41,000 per year for 10 years. If the company requires a rate of return of 13%, compute the net present value of the project and determine whether the company should undertake the project. The net present value of the project is $ (Round the final answer to the nearest dollar as needed. Round all intermediate values to six decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardOpenSeas, Inc. is evaluating the purchase of a new cruise ship.
