10. Games Unlimited Inc. is considering a new game that would require an investment of $21.0 million. If the new game is well received, then the project would produce cash flows of $9.5 million a year for 3 years. However, if the market does not like the new game, then the cash flows would be only $5.0 million per year. There is a 50% probability of both good and bad market conditions. The firm could delay the project for a year while it conducts a test to determine if demand would be strong or weak. The project's cost and expected annual cash flows would be the same whether the project is delayed or not. If the WACC is 9.2%, what is the value (in thousands) of the investment timing option? Do not round intermediate calculations. a. $1,356 b. $1,288 c. $1,492 d. $1,627 e. $1,424

Ang Electronics, Incorporated, has developed a new mesh network. If successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $33.6 million. If the mesh network fails, the present value of the payoff is $11.6 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 40 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.26 million to test market the mesh network. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 70 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. Calculate the NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct.

. Consider the problem of investing in a risky project. A project costs $500. The annual cash flow for the first year are $60 and grows at the rate of 3% annually. The risk free rate is 5%. The company WACC is 12%. . Suppose the project has an option to let you wait and decide whether to accept the project. You can invest now or next year or in two years. At the end of 2 years you either invest in the project or lose it since further deferral is not possible. The project analyst has done the calculations and has produced the binomial tree showing the cash flows from the project at future dates. Calculate the NPV of the project. p_up 0.40 $80 $70 $60 $60 $50 $40 ○ $783.21 ○ $563.45 ○ $166.67 ○ $666.67
A project has two possible outcomes. The good outcome returns $9,000 next year and occurs 59% of the time. The bad outcome is total failure, retuming $0 , the rest of the time. If the risk free interest rate is 3.2% , the expected market return is 12.6% , and the project beta is 1.1 , what is the price of the project today?
WACC and NPV Pink, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.82 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .85, a cost of equity of 12.2 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 5 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual projects the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +2 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project?
A new computer system will require an initial outlay of $17,500, but it will increase the firm’s cash flows by $3,500 a year for each of the next 8 years. How high can the discount rate be before you would reject the project?
Adam Andler Corp is analyzing an average-risk project, and the following data have been developed. Unit sales will be constant, but the sales price should increase with inflation. Fixed costs will also be constant, but variable costs should rise with inflation. The project should last for 3 years. This is just one of many projects for the firm, so any losses on this project can be used to offset gains on other firm projects. What is the project's expected NPV? Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. WACC or cost of capital Net investment cost (depreciable basis) The salvage value of its equipment No other fixed assets will be acquired for following years The company will require an increase in net working capital at the $10,000 beginning The company will liquidate all working capital at the end of the project -10,000 Units sold (constant through years) 60,000 $30.00 $50,000 $17.00 Average price per unit, Year 1 Fixed operating…
Suppose you are considering building a factory that produces turbo jets. Price of a turbo jet right now is $200. Next year the price could go up to $220 or go down to $180 or stay at $200 with equal probabilities. The price then remains fixed for a long time. (This assumption makes this cash flow risky). This will be your revenue. Cost of factory is $300 and it can be built right away since you have infrastructure in place. WACC is 30%. Cost of debt is 10%. You have the option to wait one year and see whether the price goes up or down and then invest only if price is above $180? What is the NPV? 414.22 167.52 312.82 566.67
You are planning to produce a new action figure called "Nia." However, you are very uncertain about the demand for the product. If it is a hit, you will have net cash flows of $80 million per year for three years (starting next year [i.e., at t = 1]). If it fails, you will only have net cash flows of $40 million per year for two years (also starting next year). There is an equal chance that it will be a hit or failure (probability = 50 percent). You will not know whether it is a hit or a failure until the first year's cash flows are in (i.e., at t = 1). You must spend $140 million immediately for equipment and the rights to produce the figure. If you can sell your equipment for $90 million once the first year's cash flows are received, calculate the value of the abandonment option. (The discount rate is 10 percent.) Multiple Choice $24.38 $18.56 -$5.82 $0.00
"Consider a $1310 investment that will produce perpetual cash flows. If the demand is high, the expected cash flows will be $161 per year. Otherwise, the expected cash flows will be $46 per year. The initial probabilities for high vs. low demand are 80%/20%, but after the first cash flow is realized, the firm will know with certainty whether the demand is high or low. At that time, the project can be abandoned with a terminal cash flow of $1259. The cost of capital is 5%. What is the NPV including the option to abandon?" A) "$1,649 " B) "$1,284" C) "$1,515 " D) "$1,426" E) "$1,620"
The NPV of a new video game, Petty Larceny 1, is -$1.5M after discounting all expected cash flows. However, if high demand in the market evolves, Petty Larceny 2 is a possible follow-on opportunity in two years. In Year 2 it will cost $10M to start Petty Larceny 2, which will produce a one-time cash flow of $12M in year 3. The firm’s cost of capital is 10% and the risk-free rate is 5%. Estimated volatility for the project is 30%. What is the Petty Larceny 1 NPV with the follow-on investment option? Group of answer choices -$1.50 M $0.00 M $0.87 M $2.37 M
You are analyzing a project with an initial cost of 130,000 pounds. The project is expected to return 20,000 pound the first year, 50,000 pound the second year, and 90,000 pound the third year. there is no salvage value. the current spot rate is 0.6211 pound. The nominal risk-free rate of return is 5.5% in the UK and 6% in the US. The return relevant to the project is 14% in the US. Assume that uncovered interest rate parity exists. What is the NPV of this project in US dollars using the approximate formula?
