A company planning to market a new model of motor scooter analyzes theeffect of changes in the selling price of the motor scooter, the number of unitsthat will be sold, the cost of making the motor scooter, the effect on NetWorking Capital, and the cost of capital for the project. They predict that thebreak-even point for the sales price for the motor scooter is $2,480. Whatdoes this mean?O If the motor scooter is sold for $2,480, then the project will make a profit.O If the motor scooter is sold for $2,480, then the net present value (NPV) for theproduct will be zero.O The predicted selling price of the motor scooter is $2,480.O The maximum that the motor scooter can sell for and still make the project have apositive net present value (NPV) is $2,480.

The correct statement is: If the motor scooter is sold for $2,480, then the net present value (NPV)…

A project will increase revenue from $3.6 million to $4.4 million. Wages are 30% of revenue. Maintenance on the machine will be $47,000 more than it is on the machine that will be replaced. What are the incremental expenses (i.e. change in combined wages and maintenance costs) that will result from accepting this project? (Hint: This is tricky. Read the question carefully to be sure you understand exactly what this question is asking for.) Question 5Answer a. $0.800 million b. $0.287 million c. $0.193 million d. $0.560 million
Mooby's is considering building a new theme park. After future cash flows were estimated, but before the project could be evaluated, the economy picked up and with that surge in the economy interest rates rose. That rise in interest rates was reflected in the required rate of return Mooby's used to evaluate new projects. As a result, the required rate of return for the new theme park jumped from 8.5 percent to 10 percent. If the initial outlay for the park is expected to be $220 million and the project is expected to return free cash flows of $55 million in years 1 through 5 and $70 million in years 6 and 7, what is the project's NPV using
Sunshine 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 $1 million for 3 years. The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 12%. The firm will know if the project is successful after receiving first year's cash flows. After receiving the first year's cash flows it will have the option to abandon the project. If the firm decides to abandon the project the company will not receive any cash flows after t = 1 , but it will be able to sell the assets…
Russell Trent was recently tasked with evaluating projects for Stan's No Touch Car Wash. The company recently decided to use NPV as its primary criterion for approving projects. To be selected, a project must have a positive NPV. Russell is currently evaluating a project with the following estimated investment requirements ($ millions) by year (starting in year 0): \ Investment Year Investment 0 16 1 10.1 2 12.5 The estimated revenues ($ millions) from the project, expected to begin at time 2, are given in the table below: Investment Year Investment 0 11.1 1 11.3 2 8.2 3 14.3 4 11.9 To account for the different risk characteristics throughout the project's life, Russell has determined that a hurdle rate of 23% should be used beginning at time 0, while 37% should be used beginning in period 4. Determine the NPV for the project. NPV=
Linkin Corporation is considering purchasing a new delivery truck. The truck has many advantages over the company’s current truck (not the least of which is that it runs). The new truck would cost $55,440. Because of the increased capacity, reduced maintenance costs, and increased fuel economy, the new truck is expected to generate cost savings of $8,400. At the end of 8 years, the company will sell the truck for an estimated $28,200. Traditionally the company has used a rule of thumb that a proposal should not be accepted unless it has a payback period that is less than 50% of the asset’s estimated useful life. Larry Newton, a new manager, has suggested that the company should not rely solely on the payback approach, but should also employ the net present value method when evaluating new projects. The company’s cost of capital is 8%.(a) Compute the cash payback period and the net present value of the proposed investment. Cash payback period 6.6 years Net present value $
. A manager is trying to decide whether to build a small, medium, or large facility. Demand can be low, average, or high, with the estimated probabilities being 0.25, 0.40, and 0.35, respectively. A small facility is expected to earn an after-tax net present value of just $18,000 if demand is low. If demand is average, the small facility is expected to earn $75,000; it can be increased to medium size to earn a net present value of $60,000. If demand is high, the small facility is expected to earn $75,000 and can be expanded to medium size to earn $60,000 or to large size to earn $125,000. A medium-sized facility is expected to lose an estimated $25,000 if demand is low and earn $140,000 if demand is average. If demand is high, the medium-sized facility is expected to earn a net present value of $150,000; it can be expanded to a large size for a net payoff of $145,000. If a large facility is built and demand is high, earnings are expected to be $220,000. If demand is average for the…

Compute the operating leverage factor of both plans at the anticipated demand of 6,000 units.
Bermuda Co. must choose between gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $110,000, whereas the gas powered truck will cost $40,000. The required rate of return that applies to both investments is 14 percent. The life for both types of truck is estimated be 12 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $23,500 per year and those for gas-powered truck will be $10,000 per year. Calculate the NPV and IRR for each type of truck, and decide which to recommend.

Hello sir how r u, please help
A venture capital investment group received a proposal from Wireless Solutions to produce a new smartphone. The variable cost per unit is estimated at $250, the sales price would be set at twice the VC/unit, fixed costs are estimated at $750,000, and the investors will put up the funds if the project is likely to have an operating income of $500,000 or more. What would sales volume (units) be required to meet this profit goal?
