At the end of the 6 years, the company will scrap the machine and does not expect to receive any salvage value for it. The cost of capital for the firm is 9%. Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) of this investment. Should the firm purchase the machine? Give your reason(s). You are to provide the full set of workings that is shown in the lecture notes (PowerPoint slides).

As a financial analyst, you must evaluate a proposed project to produce printer cartridges. The purchase price of the equipment, including installation, is $65,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at t = 0. Annual sales would be 4,000 units at a price of $50 per cartridge, and the project’s life would be 3 years. Current assets would increase by $5,000 and payables by $3,000. At the end of 3 years, the equipment could be sold for $10,000. Variable costs would be 70% of sales revenues, fixed costs would be $30,000 per year, the marginal tax rate is 25%, and the corporate WACC is 11%. The firm’s project CVs generally range from 1.0 to 1.5. A 3% risk premium is added to the WACC if the initial CV exceeds 1.5, and the WACC is reduced by 0.5% if the CV is 0.75 or less. Then a revised NPV is calculated. What are the revised values for the NPV? NPV Best Case Scenario = $  . NPV Base Case Scenario = $  . NPV Worst-case Scenario = -$  . Expected NPV = $

You are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $104.8 million upfront and will take one year to build.
