Question
We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 8,800 units per year at $191 net cash flow apiece (including CCA) for the next 16 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $191 × 8,800 = $1,680,800. The relevant discount rate is 10%, and the initial investment required is $5,590,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,550 units if the first year is a success
a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.)
NPV $
b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $2,846,000. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.)
The value of the option to abandon $

- A project is expected to generate the following cash flows: $1 million in one year, $3.7 million in two years, $4 million in three years and $4,3 million in four years. The cash flow is then expected to remain constant (54 3 million per year) in perpetuity.

The first year cash inflow can be rather accurately estimated at $240,000, measured in today's dollars. If the actual first-through fifth-year cash flows are assumed to be the same size ($240,000), what would the NPV of the investment be if the appropriate discount rate is 15% ? Round to the nearest whole number. If the answer is negative, put your answer in parentheses.
