Grady-White Boats, Inc. is considering a project that will require additional inventory of $1,131,000. In addition, pursuing this project will also increase accounts payable by $400,000 as suppliers are willing to finance part of these purchases. Accounts receivable are currently $800,000 and are expected to increase by 10% if this project is accepted. The firm's cash requirements are not anticipated to change. What is the incremental change to net working capital as a result of accepting this project? O A. $1,531,000 O B. $1,451,000 C. $811,000 D. $651,000 O E. $1,611,000
Channel Tunnel Inc. plans to build an additional 23-mile-long tunnel under the English Channel for added train service. The cost (NINV) of the tunnel is expected to be $3.2 billion. Net cash inflows are expected to equal $793 million per year. How many years must the firm generate this cash inflow stream for investors to earn their required 24 percent rate of return? Use Table IV to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. years
Blur Corp. is looking at investing in a production facility that will require an initial investment of $500,000. The facility will have a three-year useful life, and it will not have any salvage value at the end of the project’s life. If demand is strong, the facility will be able to generate annual cash flows of $250,000, but if demand turns out to be weak, the facility will generate annual cash flows of only $120,000. Blur Corp. thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong and a 50% chance that demand will be weak. If the company uses a project cost of capital of 13%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project? -$66,346 -$63,187 -$34,753 -$44,231 Blur Corp. could spend $510,000 to build the facility. Spending the additional $10,000 on the facility will allow the company to switch the products they produce in the facility after the first year of operations if demand turns out to be weak in year 1. If the…
Bullock Gold Mining is evaluating a new gold mine in South Dakota. All of the analysis has been done and the CFO has forecast some of the relevant cash flow information. If BGM opens the mine, it will cost $635 million today (Time 0) and it will have a cash outflow nine years from today (Time 9) of $45 million in costs related to closing the mine and reclaiming the area around. Of the initial costs, BGM will depreciate $500 million over 8 years using straight line method. Expected earnings before taxes for the eight years of operation are shown below. BGM has a required rate of return for all of its gold mines of 12%.

The Karns Oil Company is deciding whether to drill for oil on a tract of land that the company owns. The company estimates the project would cost $4 million today. Karns estimates that, once drilled, the oil will generate positive net cash flows of $2 million a year at the end of each of the next 4 years. Although the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, in 2 years it will have more information about the local geology and about the price of oil. Karns estimates that if it waits 2 years then the project would cost $5 million. Moreover, if it waits 2 years, then there is a 90% chance that the net cash flows would be $2.1 million a year for 4 years and a 10% chance that they would be $1.1 million a year for 4 years. Assume all cash flows are discounted at 8%. If the company chooses to drill today, what is the project's net present value? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.23 million should be entered…

mine. Alma has used the estimates provided by Dan to determine the revenues that could be expected from the mine. She also has projected the expense of opening the mine and the annual operating expenses. If the company opens the mine, it will cost $825 million today, and it will have a cash outflow of $75 million nine years from today in costs associated with closing the mine and reclaiming the area surrounding it. The expected cash flows each year from the mine are shown in the following table. Bullock Mining has a 12 percent required return on all of its gold mines.
