- You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $950,000, have a four-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 180 units per year; price per unit will be $18,500, variable cost per unit will be $14,000, and fixed costs will be $185,000 per year. The required return on the project is 15 percent, and the relevant corporate tax is 35%. a. Based on your experience, you think the unit sales, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given projections are probably accurate to within +10 percent. What are the upper and lower bounds for these projections? What is the base-case NPV? What are the best-case and worst-case scenarios? (Hint: consider your changes to cost and revenue corresponding to each case, e.g. best or worst) b. If the probability of base-case scenario is 50 percent, the best-case scenario is 25%, the worst-case scenario is 25%, What is the project's expected NPV, standard deviation, and its coefficient…arrow_forwardThe management of Truelove Corporation is considering a project that would require an initial investment of $357,030 and would last for 7 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $29,800, including depreciation of $46,890. At the end of the project, the scrap value of the project's assets would be $28,800 (Ignore income taxes.): Required: Determine the payback period of the project.

The annual net operating income from the project would be $104,000, which includes depreciation of $15,000. The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $24,000. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

- Assume that a company is considering purchasing a machine for $100,000 that will have a seven-year useful life and no salvage value. The machine will lower operating costs by $18,000 per year. The company also expects this investment to provide qualitative benefits that it is struggling to incorporate into its financial analysis. Assuming the company's required rate of return is 17% and the net present value of the investment before considering the qualitative benefits is $(29,404), the minimum dollar value per year that must be provided by the machine's qualitative benefits to justify the $100,000 investment is closest to: Multiple Choice O O о O $7,787. $8,247. $7,497. $8,067.arrow_forwardWe are evaluating a project that costs $844,200, has a nine-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 80,000 units per year. Price per unit is $54, variable cost per unit is $38, and fixed costs are $760,000 per year. The tax rate is 23 percent, and we require a return of 10 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±15 percent. Saved Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures.

- Tidal Wave is considering purchasing a water park in Fort Worth, Texas, for $2,100,000. The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $495,000 for ten years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for ten years and have no residual value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Its owners want payback in less than five years and an ARR of 12% or more. Management uses a 10% hurdle rate on investments of this nature. (Click the icon to view the present value annuity table.)

Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 144,000 units per year. Price per unit is $36, variable cost per unit is $25, and fixed costs are $984,784 per year. The tax rate is 23 percent, and we require a return of 13 percent on this project. The projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within +/- 17 percent. a. Calculate the best-case NPV. Best case b. Calculate the worst-case NPV. Worst casearrow_forwardHM Company is contemplating a new project that demands a $5 million investment in plant and machinery. Sales forecasts for the project indicate $2 million in the first year, $4 million in the second year, and $6 million in the third year. Future sales are expected to increase at a rate matching the anticipated inflation of 10%. The project involves scrapping the plant after 6 years, with an estimated salvage value of $1 million. Tax-related depreciation follows a straight-line pattern at $1 million per year. Cost of goods is projected to be 70% of sales, and working capital needs are minimal. The company is subject to a 35% tax rate. a) Compute the projected cash flows for each year and determine the Net Present Value (NPV) of the investment, assuming a required rate of return of 16%. b) Reassess the calculations, this time analyzing the project in real terms rather than nominal terms. Discount the cash flows using an estimated real rate of approximately 5.45%.arrow_forward
