Suppose you need a total of $100 M in financing, $40 M of which is needed right away and remainder in one year. Next year, news about product development prospects will have come out. Probability of good news is 80% with certain payoff of $400 M. Probability of bad news is 20% with 10% chance of success (payoff $400 M) and 90% chance of complete failure of product. a) What is value of company with staging? Without staging? Why is value different? b) What is the VC ownership and founder ownership if funding is not staged? c) What is VC ownership and founder ownership if funding is staged?

A company that manufactures magnetic flow meters expects to undertake a project that will have the cash flows below. At an interest rate of 10% per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of the project? Find the AW value using (a) tabulated factors, (b) calculator functions, and (c) a spreadsheet. Which method did you find the easiest to use?
Suppose we are asked to decide whether a new consumer product should be launched. Based on projected sales and costs, we expect that the cash flows over the five-year life of the project will be $2,000 in the first two years, $4,000 in the next two, and $5,000 in the last year. It will cost about $10,000 to begin production. We use a 10% discount rate to evaluate new products. a. Calculate the NPV of the project. b. Should we take the project?
Suppose that you are working on a product development venture and your best guess about the cost and revenue is as follows: you expect to spend $2 million on inventories and marketing in the near future (so you can treat all the expenses as immediate cash outlays) but you expect to receive $2.3 million of revenue in two years. Note that the # is an expected amount that is an average of the optimistic scenarios and pessimistic scenarios. This is also simplified to make the set-up easy. What is your expected return on this venture (in terms of a per year rate of return? In other words, what is the IRR?
The two machines shown are being considered for a chip manufacturing operation. Assume the MARR is a real return of 12% per year and that the inflation rate is 7% per year. Which machine should be selected on the basis of an annual worth analysis if the estimates are in (a) constant-value dollars, and (b) future dollars? Solve by hand and using a spreadsheet. Machine A B First cost, $ −150,000 −1,025,000 M&O, $ per year −70,000 −5,000 Salvage value, $ 40,000 200,000 Life, years 5 ∞
Assume the following facts: A project will cost RM45 000 to develop. When the system becomes operational, after a one-year development period, operational costs will be RM9000 during each year of the system’s five year useful life. The system will produce benefits of RM30 000 in the first year of operation, and this figure will increase by 10% each year. When is the payback period for this project? Using the same facts, what is the ROI for this project? Using the same facts, what is the NPV for this project? (*Assuming 12% rate)
Perform a present worth analysis of equal-service machines that have the costs shown on the next page, if the MARR is 10% per year. Revenues for all three alternatives are expected to be the same.
A potential project requires an initial investment of $45,000 at the beginning of the 1st year, and will give a net cash inflow of $35,000 per year (realized at the end of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year respectively) for three years. The required rate of return is 12%. What is the Net Present Value? Make sure you express the formula, so that you can get credit in case you make a numerical error
You are considering investing in a project related to a new product opportunity. If you undertake the project immediately, you calculate the NPV will be $165,000. If you postpone the decision for one year, you will learn more about the relevant manufacturing process as well as the market for your product. If you wait one year, you expect with 80 percent likelihood competitors will enter the market and your NPV (in one year) will be - $20,000. With 20 percent likelihood, you will be the only market player and you will improve your production technology to create an NPV (in one year) of $400,000. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. Required: Calculate the expected NPV if you defer the project for one year, regardless of the potential scenario. Calculate the expected NPV if you strategically decide how to undertake your project. That is, if we find that competitors enter the market, we can decide not to enter. Interpret the difference in your answers to parts 1 and 2.
Consider a project with a 15 year time horizon (T=14). Suppose that in the first two years, the project has a cost of $175 and $150 respectively and no benefits. From the third year on, the project yields benefits. Starting with a benefit of $40 in t=2, the benefits continuously decline a 1% every year for the remainder of the horizon. Calculate the present value of this project. Use an Excel spreadsheet and print out your work. Consider two different interest rates (i) 3% per year and (ii) 5% per year. In each case, assume that time is (a) discrete and (b) continuous. Create a chart plotting the present value of net benefits for the project horizon under each scenario. (You should have 4 lines on the chart.) Print out your chart as well.
Suppose a project with a 6% discount rate yields R5000 for the next three years. Annual operating costs amount to R1000 for each year, and the one time initial investment cost is R8000. a. Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of this project.b. Calculate the cost-benefit ratio for the project. c. Is the project acceptable? Motivate your answer.
Please draw the graph and solve neatly. I will rate once given me the right answer. Question: A project pays $2000 today, costs $5000 a year from now, and pays $12, 500 in two years. What is the rate of return? Assume that the MARR is 25%
You are evaluating a project that will cost $502,000, but is expected to produce cash flows of $127,000 per year for 10 years, with the first cash flow in one year. Your cost of capital is 10.7% and your company's preferred payback period is three years or less. a. What is the payback period of this project? b. Should you take the project if you want to increase the value of the company? a. What is the payback period of this project? The payback period is years. (Round to two decimal places.) b. Should you take the project if you want to increase the value of the company? (Select from the drop-down menus.) If you want to increase the value of the company you take the project since the NPV is will not will
