TG Instruments is considering an investment of $500,000 in a new product line. The company will make the investment only if it will result in a rate of return of 15% per year or higher.

The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?

Identify which project(s) is/are unacceptable and briefly state the conceptual justification as to why each of your choices is unacceptable. B. Assume Fenton has $330,000 available to spend. Which remaining projects should Fenton invest in and in what order? C. If Fenton was not limited to a spending amount, should they invest in all of the projects given the company is evaluated using return on investment?

The company you work for is considering a new product line projected to have the net cash flows (NCF) shown. The values are in future dollars, which have been inflated by 5% per year. Because the plant manager is unsure how the present worth is calculated, he asked you to do it in two ways over the 4-year planning horizon: (1) using the company’s market rate of 20% per year, and (2) converting all of the estimates into CV dollars and using the company’s real rate. You said both ways will provide the same answer, but he asked you to show him the calculations. What is the present worth by method (1) and method (2)? Solve by hand and spreadsheet. Year 0 1 2 3 4 NCF, $1000 −10,000 2000 5000 5000 5000
