A project requires an initial investment of $100,000 and is expected to produce a cash inflow before tax of $27, 300 per year for five years. Company A has substantial accumulated tax losses and is unlikely to pay taxes in the foreseeable future. Company B pays corporate taxes at a rate of 21% and can claim a 100% bonus depreciation immediately on the investment. Suppose the opportunity cost of capital is 10%. Ignore inflation. Calculate the project NPV for each company. What is the IRR of the after-tax cash flows for each company?

A firm is considering a project that will generate perpetual after-tax cash flows of $16,000 per year beginning next year. The project has the same risk as the firm's overall operations and must be financed externally. Equity flotation costs 14 percent and debt issues cost 6 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm's D/E ratio is 0.6. What is the most the firm can pay for the project and still earn its required return? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar. Maximum the firm can pay
Consider a project with free cash flows in one year of $90,000 in a weak economy or $117,000 in a strong economy, with each outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $80,000, and the project's cost of capital is 15%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment the firm borrows $40,000 at the risk-free rate and issues new equity to cover the remainder. In this situation, the cost of capital for the firm's levered equity is closest to:

| Frontier Corp. is considering a new product that would require an after-tax investment of $1,400,000 at t = 0. If the new product is well received, then the project would produce after-tax cash flows of $650,000 at the end of each of the next 3 years (t = 1, 2, 3), but if the market did not like the product, then the cash flows would be only $100,000 per year. There is a 70% probability that the market will be good. Tsai Corp. could delay the project for a year while it conducted a test to determine if demand would be strong or weak. The project's cost and expected annual cash flows are the same whether the project is delayed or not; however, the timing of the cash flows would change. (There would be the same number of cash flows-only the cash flows would be extended out one extra year.) The project's WACC is 10%. What is the value of the project after considering the investment timing option? a. $108,226.89 b. $137,743.32 c. $167,259.75 d. $196,776.18 e. $216,453.79
Blue Llama Mining Company is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $3,225,000. The project’s expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $325,000 Year 2 –100,000 Year 3 425,000 Year 4 500,000 1. Blue Llama Mining Company’s WACC is 7%, and the project has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Calculate this project’s modified internal rate of return (MIRR): 17.53% -20.06% 22.14% 16.61% 2. If Blue Llama Mining Company’s managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion, they should accept or reject this independent project. 3. Which of the following statements about the relationship between the IRR and the MIRR is correct? A typical firm’s IRR will be equal to its MIRR. A typical firm’s IRR will be less than its MIRR. A typical firm’s IRR will be greater than its MIRR.
CT Inc. is evaluating a project that would cost P8 million at t = 0. There is a 50% chance that the project would be highly successful and generate annual after-tax cash flows of P6 million during Years 1, 2, and 3. However, there is a 50% chance that it would be less successful and would generate only P1 million for each of the 3 years. If the project is highly successful, it would open the door for another investment of P10 million at the end of Year 2, and this new investment could be sold for P20 million at the end of Year 3. However, if the project is unsuccessful, the new P10 million investment at the end of Year 2 would only be sold for P5,000,000 at the end of Year 3. Assume a WACC of 12.0%. Listed below are the requirements for this data set: What is the project's expected NPV if the company would not take the growth option? (Round final answer to the nearest peso) What is the project's expected NPV after taking into account this growth option? (Round final answer to the…
martin development company is deciding whether to proceed with Project X. The cost would be $9 million in year 0, there is a 50% chance that X would be hugely successful and would generate a cash after tax flow of $6 million per year during years 1, 2 and three. however there is a 50% chance that X would be less successful and would generate only $1 million per year for the three years. If Project X is hugely successful it would open the door to another investment project why which would require an outlay of 10 million dollars at the end of year 2. project Y would then be sold to another company at a price of $20 million at the end of year 3 Martins weighted average cost of capital is 11%. A)if the company does not consider real options what is Project X expected NPV? b) What is X is expected NPV with the growth option? c)what is the value of the growth option?
Consider a project to produce solar water heaters. It requires a $10 million investment and offers a level after-tax cash flow of $1.64 million per year for 10 years. The opportunity cost of capital is 10.35%, which reflects the project's business risk. a. Suppose the project is financed with $4 million of debt and $6 million of equity. The interest rate is 6.55% and the marginal tax rate is 21%. An equal amount of the debt will be repaid in each year of the project's life. Calculate APV. Note: Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b. If the firm incurs issue costs of $650,000 to raise the $6 million of required equity, what will be the APV? Note: Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. a. Adjusted present value b. Adjusted present…
Your company is currently considering two investment projects. Each project requires an upfront expenditure of $25 million.

You are trying to value the following project for your company. You know that the project will generate free cash flows in perpetuity that will grow at a constant annual rate of 1.5% after year 3. The applicable interest rate for this project is 7.5%. What is the NPV of this project? Express your result in $-millions and round to two decimals (do not include the $-symbol in your answer). If you calculate a negative NPV enter a negative number. Year Free Cash Flows Free Cash Flow Forecasts (in $-millions) 0 -130 Year 1 -1 2 3 24 37
