- An investment is expected to produce the following annual year-end cash flows:year 1: $5,000 year 4: $5,000year 2: $1,000 year 5: $6,000year 3: $0 year 6: $863.65The investment will cost $13,000 today.a. Will this investment be profitable?b. What will be the IRR (compounded annually) on this investment?c. Prove your answer in (b) by showing how much of each year’s cash flow is the recovery of the $13,000 investment and how much of the cash flow is return on investment. (Hint: See Concept Box 3.2.)arrow_forwardFinnegan Company plans to invest in a new operating plant that is expected to cost $762,500. The projected incremental income from the investment is as follows: Net Income Year After Tax $51,000 $66,000 $71,000 $76,000 $61,000 $41,000 1 4 6. The unadjusted rate of return on the initial investment would be approximately:arrow_forwardAlfarsi Industries uses the net present value method to make investment decisions and requires a 15% annual return on all investments. The company is considering two different investments. Each requires an initial investment of $14,700 and will produce cash flows as follows: End of year Investment A Investment B 1 $9300 $0 2 $9300 $0 3 $9300 $27900 The present value factors of $1 each year at 15% are: 1 0.8696 2 0.7561 3 0.6575 The present value of an annuity of $1 for 3 years at 15% is 2.2832 The net present value of Investment A is: (The answer is $6534 but I do not know how to get there)arrow_forward
- Revenues generated by a new fad product are forecast as follows: Year Revenues 1 60,000 2 40,000 3 30,000 4 10,000 Thereafter 0 Expenses are expected to be 30% of revenues, and working capital required in each year is expected to be 10% of revenues in the following year. The product requires an immediate investment of $81,000 in plant and equipment. a). What is the inital investment in the product? Rememebr working capital. b).If the plant and equipment are depreciated over 4 years to a slavage value of zero using straight-line depreciation, and the firm's tax rate is 20%, what are the project cash flows in each year? Assume the plant and equipment are worthless at the end of 4 years. c). If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, what is the project's NPV? d). What is the project IRR?arrow_forwardEpiphany Industries is considering a new capital budgeting project that will last for three years. Epiphany plans on using a cost of capital of 12% to evaluate this project. Based on extensive research, it has prepared the following incremental cash flow projects: Year Sales (Revenues) Cost of Goods Sold (50% of Sales) Depreciation = EBIT 0 A. $66,600 B. $55,500 C. $59,200 D. $74,000 Taxes (20%) = unlevered net income + Depreciation + changes to working capital - capital expenditures The free cash flow for the last year of Epiphany's project is closest to: 1 150,000 75,000 20,000 55,000 11,000 44,000 20,000 - 5,000 - 90,000 2 150,000 75,000 20,000 55,000 11,000 44,000 20,000 - 5,000 3 150,000 75,000 20,000 55,000 11,000 44,000 20,000 10,000arrow_forwardA capital budgeting project is expected to generate an increase to annual operating cash flow of $10,000 per year.

- The cash flows in Table P6.41 represent the potential annual savings associated with two different types of production processes, each of which requires an investment of $40,000. Assume an interest rate of 12%. a. Determine the equivalent annual savings for each process. b. Determine the hourly savings for each process if it will be in operation of 3,000 hours per year. c. Which process should be selected?arrow_forwardThe Fleming Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated below. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.

- Everest Dew Corporation is planning to construct a new manufacturing plant on which has 60 production lines to run at any point of time to make output. The usage of the line is expected to be 92% all time throughout the years. The initial investment cost for all the lines is RM950,000. It is expected to generate revenue RM8,200 per line in year 1 and 10% increase for every year from year 2 to 6. The operating cost per line is RM1,200 and expected to increase by 10% every year from year 2 to 6. At year 6 it can cease the operation by selling the entire business for RM420,000. The cost of capital is expected to be about 12%. Advice whether the project is acceptable or rejected by using the below methods. A. Accounting Rate of Return (AROR) B.
