The NPV of a new video game, Petty Larceny 1, is -$1.5M after discounting all expected cash flows. However, if high demand in the market evolves, Petty Larceny 2 is a possible follow-on opportunity in two years. In Year 2 it will cost $10M to start Petty Larceny 2, which will produce a one-time cash flow of $12M in year 3. The firm’s cost of capital is 10% and the risk-free rate is 5%. Estimated volatility for the project is 30%. What is the Petty Larceny 1 NPV with the follow-on investment option? Group of answer choices -$1.50 M $0.00 M $0.87 M $2.37 M

Two new software projects are proposed to a young, start-up company. The Alpha project will cost $1,150,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $140,000. The Beta project will cost $1,200,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $150,000. The company is very concerned about their cash flow. Using the payback period, which project is better from a cash flow standpoint? Why?
Caspian Sea Drinks is considering buying the J-Mix 2000. It will allow them to make and sell more product. The machine cost $1.54 million and create incremental cash flows of $552,182.00 each year for the next five years. The cost of capital is 11.42%. What is the internal rate of return for the J-Mix 2000?
You are planning to produce a new action figure called "Nia." However, you are very uncertain about the demand for the product. If it is a hit, you will have net cash flows of $66 million per year for three years (starting next year [i.e., at t = 1]). If it fails, you will only have net cash flows of $26 million per year for two years (also starting next year). There is an equal chance that it will be a hit or failure (probability = 50 percent). You will not know whether it is a hit or a failure until the first year's cash flows are in (i.e., at t = 1). You must spend $112 million immediately for equipment and the rights to produce the figure. If you can sell your equipment for $76 million once the first year's cash flows are received, calculate the value of the abandonment option. (The discount rate is 10 percent.)

Two new software projects are proposed to a young, start-up company. The Delta project will cost $150,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $40,000. The Echo project will cost $200,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $50,000. The company is very concerned about their cash flow. Using the payback period, which project is better from a cash flow standpoint? Why? Present the payback period for each project. Use this formula: Payback period = Investment/Annual Savings
Celestial Crane Cosmetics is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $3,225,000. The project's expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $375,000 Year 2 -125,000 Year 3 500,000 Year 4 400,000 If the company's WACC is 8% and the project has the same risk as the firm's average project, what is the project's modified internal rate of return (MIRR)? Should you accept or reject this project?
Texas Instruments is considering the launch of a new calculator, the TI-99, which would have quite a few additional features that they believe students would find useful. It would require a $5M investment today, and they have modeled 3 different scenarios for possibilities of the free cash flows that would be generated: (50%) Base case: $4M/year for the next 3 years, starting one year from now (25%) Worst case: $2M/year for the next 3 years, starting one year from now (25%) Best case: $6M/year for the next 3 years, starting one year from now, and then $500K perpetually after that In all 3 scenarios, they expect launching the TI-99 will hurt the free cash flows they generate from their current TI-84. They currently expect free cash flows of $10M per year for the next 3 years, starting one year from now, but if the TI-99 is launched they would expect a 5% decrease in free cash flows each year. Texas Instruments has a capital structure that includes $40M of debt, $20M of…
A paving company is considering selling their lab faciltities and outsourcing their QC (Quality Control) testing. This external testing will cost them an average of $140k per year, but the will save $45k per year in labor costs. Selling their lab facilties will generate $1m. Assuming that this decision is permamenet, is this a good idea if their MARR is 8% per year. (DRAW CASH FLOW DIAGRAM PLS)
Anta networks want to modernize their networking system. Proposals have been received from two major software companies. The first proposal cost OMR9million but will raise the firm’s annual cash flows by OMR5million. The second proposal cost OMR8million and provides cash flow of OMR5.5million a year. Both projects have a life span of 4 years. Assuming that the cost of capital is 9%, which proposal may be recommended on the basis of Net Present Value criteria.

Calculate the NPV b. Calculate the PI c. Calculate the IRR d. Should the project be accepted? Why? (*You must show your calculation process as well.)
Consider an entrepreneur who plans to invest in a project that requires an initial investment of $1,800 this year. The project will generate either $1,600 or $4,200 next year. The cash flows of the project depend on whether the economy is weak or strong. Both scenarios are equally likely. The risk-free rate is 4% and the risk premium of the project is 12%. Assume perfect capital markets. Now assume that the entrepreneur will borrow $400 at 5% interest rate to finance the project. The cost of equity of the project is closest to: 16.60% 17.72% 18.29% 19.43% None of the above
