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.

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.
