A franchise restaurant chain is considering a new store in an unserved part of town. Its finance group estimates an NPV of $10 million if the population growth is 10% (40% probability), and NPV of $4 million of the population does not grow (30% probability), and an NPV of -$4 million if the population shrinks 5% (30% probability). What is the expected value of NPV (to the nearest dollar) for the following situation? Group of answer choices $3.4 million. $4.0 million. $4.6 million. $5.2 million. None of the above.

When McDonalds consider the new store, the management know that KFC might also considering opening a new store at the same place. McDonalds predicts that the future cash flow will be 630,000 with probability 50% if KFC does not open a new store, and 210,000 with probability 50% if KFC does. Should McDonalds undertakes the project?
A grocery store is considering the purchase of a new refrigeration unit with an Initial Investment of $412,000, and the store expects a return of $100,000 in year one, $72000 in years two and three, $65,000 in years four and five, and $38,000 in year six and beyond, what is the payback period?
9. Solve the following three independent scenarios: A grocery store is considering the purchase of a new refrigeration unit with an initial investment of $412,000, and the store expects a return of $100,000 in year one, $72,000 in years two and three, $65,000 in years four and five, and $38,000 in year six and beyond, what is the payback period? Payback period = ? years. Round your Payback Period (PB) answer to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34). An auto repair company needs a new machine that will check for defective sensors. The machine has an initial investment of $224,000. Incremental revenues, including cost savings, are $120,000, and incremental expenses, including depreciation, are $50,000. There is no salvage value. What is the accounting rate of return (ARR)? Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = ? . Round your ARR answer, in percentage format, to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34%).
Rose Apothecary is considering expanding its business to include a second store. David Rose, the CEO, believes that a marketing study would help to determine the overall demand for the store. Part A: Without the marketing study, the company estimates that there will be an up-front cost of $100,000 to get the new store up and running. The expectation is that there is a 50% chance that the store will generate annual cash flows of $48,000 per year for the subsequent four years and a 50% chance that the store will generate annual cash flows of $22,000 per year for the subsequent four years. What is the NPV of the store expansion project, assuming a 15% cost of capital?

Suppose you have an internship at a chemical factory. Your supervisor asks you to calculate the net present value of an expansion project. Suppose the expansion costs $5 million now and $1 million next year. The plant will produce revenues of $4 million in the second year and $4 million in the third year. Calculate the net present value (or the present value of the benefits less than the present value of the costs) at a 4% discount rate. Enter your answer in millions of dollars with two decimal places.

Two new software projects are proposed to a young, start-up company. The Alpha project will cost $150,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $40,000. The Beta project will cost $200,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $50,000. The company is very concerned about their cash flow. Using the payback period, which project is better from a cash flow standpoint ? Why?
Consider a simple, homogeneous monocentric city with a circular shape. If the location rent premium at the center is $6,000 per year per acre, the rent at the edge of the city is $10,000 per year per acre, and the density is 2 persons per acre. Supposing that the annual transportation cost per person per mile of distance from the CBD is $200 (round- trip), and if the population increases by 10% (the size of the city and transportation cost do not change, and there are still 2 houses per acre), what will be the new rent at the center of the city per year per acre? Group of answer choices $16,500 $16,300 $16,600 $17,000
