Better Mousetraps has developed a new trap. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $5.4 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line over 6 years, but, in fact, it can be sold after 6 years for $682,000. The firm believes that working capital at each date must be maintained at a level of 10% of next year's forecast sales. The firm estimates production costs equal to $1.30 per trap and believes that the traps can be sold for $5 each. Sales forecasts are given in the following table. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the trap becomes technologically obsolete. The firm's tax bracket is 40%, and the required rate of return on the project is 8%.

You are responsible to manage an IS project with a 4-year horizon. The annal cost of the project is estimated at $40,000 per year, and a one-time costs of $120,000. The annual monetary benefit of the project is estimated at $96,000 per year with a discount rate of 6 percent. a. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. b. Perform a break-even analysis (BEA). At what year does break-even occur?
We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 8,800 units per year at $191 net cash flow apiece (including CCA) for the next 16 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $191 × 8,800 = $1,680,800. The relevant discount rate is 10%, and the initial investment required is $5,590,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,550 units if the first year is a success a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) NPV $ b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $2,846,000. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) The value…
An advertising program will cost (outflow) $420,000 today BUT will generate net profits of $50,000 over the next 15 years. Further, they would have to re-affirm the brand with a minor media campaign costing $40,000 (outflow) in 5 years from today. Determine the expected yield (rate of return OR IRR) on the program?
You are a consultant who has been hired to evaluate a new product line for Markum Enterprises. The upfront investment required to launch the product line is $11 million. The product will generate free cash flow of $0.76 million the first year, and this free cash flow is expected to grow at a rate of 6% per year. Markum has an equity cost of capital of 10.5%, a debt cost of capital of 5.04%, and a tax rate of 23%. Markum maintains a debt-equity ratio of 0.70. a. What is the NPV of the new product line (including any tax shields from leverage)? b. How much debt will Markum initially take on as a result of launching this product line? c. How much of the product line's value is attributable to the present value of interest tax shields? a. What is the NPV of the new product line (including any tax shields from leverage)? The NPV of the new product line is $ million. (Round to two decimal places.) C...
