A paving company is considering selling their lab faciltities and outsourcing their QC (Quality Control) testing. This external testing will cost them an average of $140k per year, but the will save $45k per year in labor costs. Selling their lab facilties will generate $1m. Assuming that this decision is permamenet, is this a good idea if their MARR is 8% per year. (DRAW CASH FLOW DIAGRAM PLS)

Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?
Tropical Sweets is considering a project that will cost $70 million and will generate expected cash flows of $30 million per year for 3 years. The cost of capital for this type of project is 10%, and the risk-free rate is 6%. After discussions with the marketing department, you learn that there is a 30% chance of high demand with associated future cash flows of $45 million per year. There is also a 40% chance of average demand with cash flows of $30 million per year as well as a 30% chance of low demand with cash flows of only $15 million per year. What is the expected NPV?
Each of the following scenarios is independent. All cash flows are after-tax cash flows. Required: 1. Patz Corporation is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The cash benefits will be 800,000 per year. The system costs 4,000,000 and will last eight years. Compute the NPV assuming a discount rate of 10 percent. Should the company buy the new system? 2. Sterling Wetzel has just invested 270,000 in a restaurant specializing in German food. He expects to receive 43,470 per year for the next eight years. His cost of capital is 5.5 percent. Compute the internal rate of return. Did Sterling make a good decision?

(Calculating free cash flows) You are considering new elliptical trainers and you feel you can sell 5.000 of these per year for 5 years (after which time this project is expected to shut down when it is learned that being fit is unhealthy). The elliptical trainers would sell for $1.000 each and have a variable cost of $500 each. The annual fland costs associated with production would be $1,300,000 In addition, there would be a $3,000,000 initial expenditure associated with the purchase of new production equipment. It is assumed that this initial expenditure will be depreciated using the bonus depreciation method in year 1. This project will also require a one-time initial investment of $1,200 000 in not working capital associated with inventory, and working-capital investment will be recovered when the project is shut down Finally, assume that the firm's marginal tax rate is 25 percant a. What is the initial outlay associated with this project? b. What are the annual free cash flows…
Your boss has just presented you with the summary in the accompanying table of projected costs and annual receipts for a new product line. He asks you to calculate the IRR for this investment opportunity. What would you present to your boss, and how would you explain the results of your analysis? (It is widely known that the boss likes to see graphs of PW versus interest rate for this type of problem.) The company’s MARR is 10% per year.
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…

The elliptical trainers would sell for $1,000 each and have a variable cost of $500 each. The annual fixed costs associated with production would be $1,300,000. In addition, there would be a $3,000,000 initial expenditure associated with the purchase of new production equipment.

Texas Instruments is considering the launch of a new calculator, the TI-99, which would have quite a few additional features that they believe students would find useful. It would require a $5M investment today, and they have modeled 3 different scenarios for possibilities of the free cash flows that would be generated: (50%) Base case: $4M/year for the next 3 years, starting one year from now (25%) Worst case: $2M/year for the next 3 years, starting one year from now (25%) Best case: $6M/year for the next 3 years, starting one year from now, and then $500K perpetually after that In all 3 scenarios, they expect launching the TI-99 will hurt the free cash flows they generate from their current TI-84. They currently expect free cash flows of $10M per year for the next 3 years, starting one year from now, but if the TI-99 is launched they would expect a 5% decrease in free cash flows each year. Texas Instruments has a capital structure that includes $40M of debt, $20M of…
(Calculating free cash flows) You are considering new elliptical trainers and you feelyou can sell 5,000 of these per year for 5 years in Great Britain (after which time this projectis expected to shut down when it is replaced by other fitness methods). The ellipticaltrainers would sell for £1,000 each and have a variable cost of £500 each. The annualfixed costs associated with production would be £1 million. In addition, there would be a£5 million initial expenditure associated with the purchase of new production equipment.It is assumed that this initial expenditure will be depreciated using the simplified straightlinemethod down to zero over 5 years. This project will also require a one-time initialinvestment of £1 million in net working capital associated with inventory, and thatworking-capital investment will be recovered when the project is shut down. Finally,assume that the firm’s marginal tax rate is 20 percent (as announced by the U.K.government).a) What are the annual free…
