Canary Motors, an all-equity firm, has expected earnings of £10 million per year in perpetuity. The firm pays all of its earnings out as dividends, so the £10 million may also be viewed as the shareholders’ expected cash flow. There are 10 million shares outstanding, implying expected annual cash flow of £1 per share. The cost of capital for this unlevered firm is 10 percent. In addition, the firm will soon build a new plant for £4 million. The plant is expected to generate additional cash flow of £1 million per year. What is the NPV of the new plant?

You expect that Bean Enterprises will have earnings per share of $2 for the coming year. Bean plans to retain all of its earnings for the next three years. For the subsequent two years, the firm plans on retaining 50% of its earnings. It will then retain only 25% of its earnings from that point forward. Retained earnings will be invested in projects with an expected return of 20% per year. If Bean's equity cost of capital is14%, then the price of a share of Bean's stock is closest to:
Al_Tech plc is considering investing in a new company, New_tech plc. It has estimated that the new tech company will cost £440,000. Cash flows from increased sales will be £160,000 in the first year. These cash flows will increase by 5% every year. Al_Tech plc estimates that New_tech plc will lose all its technological advantages in five years from now and will lose all its value. Assume that the initial cost is paid now, and all the revenues are received at the end of each year. The company requires a 12% p.a. return for such an investment. a) Calculate the NPV of the investment project. b) Calculate the profitability index and the discounted payback period. c) Should Al_Tech plc consider investing in New_tech plc? What can you say about the internal rate of return to that project? Explain. d) Explain why it is theoretically correct to assume that accepting a project with a positive NPV should increase the value of a company by the NPV of the project.
