Tilson Dairies operates several cheese plants. The plants are all old and in r renovation. Tilson's engineers have developed plans to renovate all of them. Each would have a positive present worth at the company's MARR. Tilson has $3.5 available to invest in these projects. The following facts about the potential ren projects are available: Project A: Renovate plant 1 3: Renovate plant 2 C: Renovate plant 3 D: Renovate plant 4 First Cost $0.8 million $1.2 million $1.4 million $2.0 million Present Worth $1.1 million $1.7 million $1.8 million $2.7 million Which proio te cho uld Tilcon a ccont?

Your company is developing a new textbook for FIN 301 and you paid your current FIN 301 instructor $700,000 for his input about the feasibility of such a product. The project would involve initial capital investment of $1,200,000 and installation costs related to the capital expenditures of $600,000. The project would also necessitate an increase in net working capital of $200,000 at the beginning of the project. You can straight line depreciate any depreciable expenses to zero over the three-year life of the project, and you don't expect the capital investment to be sold at the end of the project. Each year, you estimate you will receive $3,000,000 in sales revenue from your awesome textbook. Variable product and selling costs associated with these sales are expected to be 40% of revenue in each of those years. The fixed costs in each of the three years of the project will be $500,000. The corporate tax rate is 40%. Calculate the total year 0 cash flows associated with the project. $…

Assume that Walmart Inc. has decided to surface and maintain for 10 years a vacant lot next to one of its stores to serve as a parking lot for customers. Management is considering the following bids involving two different qualities of surfacing for a parking area of 11,300 square yards. Bid A: A surface that costs $5.25 per square yard to install. This surface will have to be replaced at the end of 5 years. The annual maintenance cost on this surface is estimated at 25 cents per square yard for each year except the last year of its service. The replacement surface will be similar to the initial surface. Bid B: A surface that costs $10.75 per square yard to install. This surface has a probable useful life of 10 years and will require annual maintenance in each year except the last year, at an estimated cost of 12 cents per square yard. Click here to view factor tables. Compute present value of the bids. You may assume that the cost of capital is 12%, that the annual maintenance…

The investment committee of Granny’s Restaurants Inc. is evaluating two restaurant sites. The sites have different useful lives, but each requires an investment of $1,200,000. The estimated net cash flows from each site are as follows:   Net Cash Flows Year Helena Butte 1 $375,000 $500,000 2 $375,000 $500,000 3 $375,000 $500,000 4 $375,000 $500,000 5 $375,000   6 $375,000                                                                   The committee has selected a rate of 20% for purposes of net present value analysis. It also estimates that the residual value at the end of each restaurant’s useful life is $0, but at the end of the fourth year, Helena’s residual value would be $500,000.                                                                                        Instructions:  Using formulas/functions wherever available, complete the following on the Input tab… For each site, compute the net present value,…
