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…
GBATT has a capital need of $100 million to fund its operations. GBATT has an equity investor that has made an investment in the common stock of GBATT for 60% of this amount but there is the anticipation is that they will earn a 15% return on this investment through capital returns and dividends. This level of anticipated return takes into account the anticipated risk in the investment. With this amount of capital support, GBATT was able to find a lender who will provide the balance of the capital needed at an interest rate of 10% with such debt to be paid out over 10 years. Such lender will require GBATT to fully collateralize its buildings in support of its bond payments. What is the cost of capital in this example?
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.
The president of Real Time Inc. has asked you to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new computer. The computer's price is $70,000, and it falls into the MACRS 3-year class. Purchase of the computer would require an increase in net operating working capital of $2,000. The computer would increase the firm's before-tax revenues by $30,000 per year but would also increase operating costs by $15,000 per year. The computer is expected to be used for 3 years and then be sold for $25,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent, and the project's cost of capital is 14 percent.What is the net cash flow at t = 0? Cash outflow should be in negative number, e.g., -33,000, and do not include the $ sign.
