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 = $

Dynamic is considering investing in a rooftop solar network to generate its own power. Any unused power will be sold back to the local utility company. Between cost savings and new revenues, the company expects to generate $1,460,000 per year in net cash inflows from the solar network installation. The solar network would cost $7.2 million and is expected to have a 18-year useful life with no residual value. Calculate (i) the internal rate of return (IRR) and (ii) the net present value (NPV) assuming the company uses a 13% hurdle rate. (i) Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR). Use technology to find this value. (Enter a percentage rounded to two decimal places, X.XX%.) The IRR is %.

Mayberry, Inc., is considering a design change that will cost $6,000 and will result in an annual savings of $1,000 per year for the 6-year life of the project. A cost of $2,000 will be avoided at the end of the project as a result of the change. MARR is 8%/year. What is the annual worth of this investment? $Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance is ±4.
