Your company is analyzing purchase of a machine costing $5,900 today. The investment promises to add $18,500 to sales one year from today, $14,500 two years from today, and $18,000 three years from today. Incremental cash costs should consume 75% of the incremental sales. The tax rate is 30% and the company’s financing rate is 8.2%. The investment cost is depreciated to zero over a 3-year straight-line schedule. What is the IRR for the project?
ABC mines copper with fixed costs of $0.50/lb and variable cost of $0.40/lb. The 1-year forward price of copper is $1/lb. The 1-year continuously compounded interest rate is 6%. If ABC does nothing to hedge copper price risk, what is its profit 1 year from now (per pound of copper)? If, on the other hand, ABC sells forward its expected copper production, what is its estimated 1-yearprofit from now? In both scenarios, assume the spot price of copper in 1 year can be $0.80, $0.90, $1.00, $1.10, and $1.20. 2) Compute ABC’s estimated profit in 1 year if it buys a put option with a strike of $1.00 and a premium of $0.04. Assume the spot price of copper in 1 year can be $0.80, $0.90, $1.00, $1.10, and $1.20.
