- Turner Printing is looking to invest in a printer, which costs $60,000. Turner expects a 15% rate of return on this printer investment. The company expects incremental revenues of $30,000 and incremental expenses of $15,000. There is no salvage value for the printer. What is the accounting rate of return (ARR) for this printer? Did it meet the hurdle rate of 15%?arrow_forwardSunshine Smoothies Company (SSC) manufactures and distributes smoothies. It is considering the introduction of a "weight loss" smoothie. The project would require a $4 million investment outlay today (t = 0). The after-tax cash flows would depend on whether the weight loss smoothie is well received by consumers. There is a 30% chance that demand will be good, in which case the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2 million at the end of each of the next 3 years. There is a 70% chance that demand will be poor, in which case the after-tax cash flows will be $1 million for 3 years. The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 12%. The firm will know if the project is successful after receiving first year's cash flows. After receiving the first year's cash flows it will have the option to abandon the project. If the firm decides to abandon the project the company will not receive any cash flows after t = 1 , but it will be able to sell the assets…arrow_forwardSuppose Francine Dunkleberg's Sweets is considering investing in warehouse management software that costs $450,000, has $35,000 residual value, and should lead to cost savings of $130,000 per year for its five-year life.

Any unused power will be sold back to the local utility company. Between cost savings and new revenues, the company expects to generate $1,560,000 per year in net cash inflows from the solar network installation. The solar network would cost $8.8 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 12% 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%.)

It would cost $10 million at Year 0 to buy the equipment necessary to manufacture the server. The project would require net working capital at the beginning of each year in an amount equal to 10% of the year's projected sales; for example, NWC = 10% (Sales). The servers would sell for $24,000 per unit, and Webmasters believes that variable costs would amount to $17,500 per unit. After Year 1, the sales price and variable costs will increase at the inflation rate of 3%. The company's nonvariable costs would be $1 million at Year 1 and would increase with inflation. The server project would have a life of 4 years. If the project is undertaken, it must be continued for the entire 4 years. Also, the project's returns are expected to be highly correlated with returns on the firm's other assets. The firm believes it could sell 1,000 units per year. The equipment would be depreciated…arrow_forward

We were considering adapting our production line, in order to produce some parts for electric automobiles, this way, and after analyzing the possible market opportunities, we could expect to obtain net revenues of $40,000 per month for at least the next 8 years. a) What is the maximum that we should invest on this project if we consider a cost of capital of 4%? b) If we ask for a loan of 2,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 2% compounded semiannually, to be paid in 8 years, how much would you have to pay every semester to cover the loan?arrow_forwardFantastic Footwear can invest in one of two different automated clicker cutters.
