A venture will provide a net cash inflow of $57,000 in Year 1. The annual cash flows are projected to grow at a rate of 7 percent per year forever. The project requires an initial investment of $739,000 and has a required return of 15.6 percent. The company is somewhat unsure about the growth rate assumption. At what constant rate of growth would the company just break even?

A company has a project with initial investment is $40,000. It will generate $15,000 annually for the next four years. Assume that this company and its project have a beta of 2.0, the risk-free rate of return (i.e., Rm) is 2%6, and the market return (i.e., Rm) is 7%6?. How much is the NPV of this project? [Hint: As discussed, the CAMP model can be used to estimate discount rate (r) in the NPV analysis equation). A) 5,555 B) 3,333 4,444 D) 6,666

A project generates 10 years of cash flows. The cash flow for the first year is 100,000. For the remaining years cash flows are projected to grow at a rate of 3%. The required initial investment is $250,000. Assume that the company is 100% equity finance (there is no debt in the capital structure of this company). The risk-free rate of interest of 3% and the expected market risk premium is 7%. If we assume that the beta of the firm is 0.9 when in fact the beta is really 1.5, for how much more or less (in dollars) are we valuing the investment project? Explain in words why the estimation of the value of project assuming a beta of 0.9 is incorrect. Please show excel formulas
Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be able to recover its initial investment from Project Delta's expected future cash flows. To answer this question, Cold Goose's CFO has asked that you compute the project's payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received evenly throughout each year. Complete the following table and compute the project's conventional payback period. For full credit, complete the entire table. (Note: Round the conventional payback period to two decimal places. If your answer is negative, be sure to use a minus sign in your answer.) Expected cash flow Cumulative cash flow Conventional payback period: Cash flow $ Discounted cash flow $ Cumulative discounted cash flow $ Discounted payback period: Year 0 -$6,000,000 O The discounted payback period O The regular payback period O $1,714,226 $3,957,217 years The conventional payback period…
Ariana, Incorporated, is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $7 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year, indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .69, a cost of equity of 13.4 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 6.4 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.
You are considering acquiring a firm that you believe will generate cash flows of $100,000 per year for 10 years, after which you are expecting to sell it for $150,000. You will only use equity financing for this project. The beta of the firm is believed to be .75. Of course, you know these cash flows are uncertain. All these cash flows are subject to a 25% corporate tax rate. a) How much is the firm’s worth if the risk-free rate is 5% and the expected market return is 12%? Show your work. b) If the actual beta of the firm turns out to be .50, by how much will you have valued the firm incorrectly? c) If it turns out that you over-projected the cash flows by 2%, by how much will you have valued the firm incorrectly?

Hotel Today Ltd. is thinking of buying a real estate asset. The asset's projected stabilized NOI for the following year is $ 5,400,000 and it is currently selling for $ 65 million based on the market cap rate perception.

Ariana, Incorporated, is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $6.1 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year, indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .60, a cost of equity of 13 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 5.5 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. a. Calculate the required return for the project. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. b. What is the maximum cost the company would be willing to pay for this project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. a.
