The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation.

- A corporation is considering purchasing a machine that will save $150,000 per year before taxes. The cost of operating the machine (including maintenance) is $30,000 per year. The machine will be needed for five years, after which it will have azero salvage value. MACRS depreciation will be used, assuming a three-year class life. The marginalincome tax rate is 40%.

[use closes approximate value]arrow_forwardYou are thinking of making an investment in a new factory. The factory will generate revenues of $1,960,000 per year for as long as you maintain it. You expect that the maintenance costs will start at $90,160 per year and will increase 5% per year thereafter. Assume that all revenue and maintenance costs occur at the end of the year. You intend to run the factory as long as it continues to make a positive cash flow (as long as the cash generated by the plant exceeds the maintenance costs). The factory can be built and become operational immediately and the interest rate is 6% per year. a. What is the present value of the revenues? - b. What is the present value of the maintenance costs? c. If the plant costs $19,600,000 to build, should you invest in the factory?
