Wansley Lumber is considering the purchase of a paper company which would require an initial investment of $300 million. Wansley estimates that the paper company would provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of capital for the paper company is 16%. a. Should Wansley purchase the paper company? -Select- V b. Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $27 million per year or $53 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2 in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 16%. -Select- V c. Wansley can wait for 1 year and find out whether the cash flows will be $27 million per year or $53 million per year before…
You have just completed a $15,000 feasibility study for a new coffee shop in some retail space you own. You bought the space two years ago for $96,000, and if you sold it today, you would net $114,000 after taxes. Outfitting the space for a coffee shop would require a capital expenditure of $35,000 plus an initial investment of $5,500 in inventory. What is the correct initial cash flow for your analysis of the coffee shop opportunity?
You need to solve this exercise using Excel functions. (Please show work on excel) ABC Inc. plans to invest in new equipment. It will purchase the new equipment for $130,000 and sell its old version, which is fully depreciated, for $25,000. The new equipment has a 10-year useful life and will save $45,000 a year in expenses before tax. The opportunity cost of capital is 11%, and the firm’s tax rate is 21%. What is the NPV of this investment if ABC can benefit from bonus depreciation?
Involves the purchase of a lumber mill operation located in Nova Scotia. You have estimated the initial investment as $1,000,000 and the annual pre-tax cash flow over the next 10 years as $200,000 at which point the operation will be obsolete. If GBEI decides to invest in the lumber mill operation, it will be financed using the same proportions of debt and equity that GWEI currently uses. You have collected information on a publicly-traded lumber products company whose primary line of business is similar to GBEI’s lumber mill operation – this has led you to recommend a discount rate of 11.27% for this investment. Assume straight line depreciation. 1. Calculate the NPV, Payback Period, and Profitability Index of the lumber mill operation.
