Carlson Inc. is evaluating a project in India that would require a $5.5 million after-tax investment today (t = 0). The after-tax cash flows would depend onwhether India imposes a new property tax. There is a 50-50 chance that the tax will pass, in which case the project will produce after-tax cash flows of$1,150,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. If the tax doesn't pass, the after-tax cash flows will be $1,950,000 for 5 years. The project has a WACC of12.0%. The firm would have the option to abandon the project 1 year from now, and if it is abandoned, the firm would receive the expected $1.15 million cashflow at t-1 and would also sell the property and receive $4.85 million after taxes at t-1. If the project is abandoned, the company would receive no furthercash inflows from it. What is the value (in thousands) of this abandonment option?

martin development company is deciding whether to proceed with Project X. The cost would be $9 million in year 0, there is a 50% chance that X would be hugely successful and would generate a cash after tax flow of $6 million per year during years 1, 2 and three. however there is a 50% chance that X would be less successful and would generate only $1 million per year for the three years. If Project X is hugely successful it would open the door to another investment project why which would require an outlay of 10 million dollars at the end of year 2. project Y would then be sold to another company at a price of $20 million at the end of year 3 Martins weighted average cost of capital is 11%. A)if the company does not consider real options what is Project X expected NPV? b) What is X is expected NPV with the growth option? c)what is the value of the growth option?

Consider a project to produce solar water heaters. It requires a $10 million investment and offers a level after-tax cash flow of $1.64 million per year for 10 years. The opportunity cost of capital is 10.35%, which reflects the project's business risk. a. Suppose the project is financed with $4 million of debt and $6 million of equity. The interest rate is 6.55% and the marginal tax rate is 21%. An equal amount of the debt will be repaid in each year of the project's life. Calculate APV. Note: Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b. If the firm incurs issue costs of $650,000 to raise the $6 million of required equity, what will be the APV? Note: Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars.

Cricket World Cup (CWC) is considering a project proposal which requires an initial investment of $72,625 and it is expected to have net cash flows of $15,000 per year for 8 years. The firm cash flows are discounted at a rate of 12 percent. 1. What is the project’s Net Present Value (NPV)? 2. What is the project’s discounted payback period?
The Bank of China is considering an application from the Government of the Republic of Zambia for a large dam project. Some costs and benefits of the project (in Kwacha values) are as follows: Construction costs: K500 million per year for three years Operating costs: K50 million per year Hydropower to be generated: 3 billion kilowatt hours per year Price of electricity: K0.05 per kilowatt hour Irrigation water available from dam: 5 billion liters per year Price of irrigation water: K0.02 per liter Agricultural product lost from flooded lands: K45 million per year Forest products lost from flooded lands: K20 million per year Assume that the project incurs no ecological and other costs besides the ones stated above. Do a formal cost-benefit analysis encompassing all of the quantifiable factors listed above. Assume that the lifespan of the dam is 10 years and that construction begins in Year 0. All other impacts start once the dam is completed and continue for 10 years. Use 5%…
5. Suppose you are evaluating the following potential investment project: Spend $34 million today on a factory in Alabama that will be completed in 1 year. You expect to receive $12 million in profits from this factory at the end of the second year, at which time you also expect to sell the factory to Toyhonda, a Japanese competitor, for a further $30 million. The market interest rate is 9%. (Assume the inflation rate is constant at 0, and is expected to remain so for the duration of the above investments.) Would this plan generate profits enough to cover the investment cost? Yes b. No c. break-even (i.e., no profit nor loss) a.
CIP Co, a telecommunications company, is considering an investment of $150 million into a wind farm. The wind farm is expected to generate after-tax cash flows of $75 million in Year 1, $120 million in Year 2, and $175 million in Year 3. CIP Co’s WACC is 12% but some members of management believe the project should be assessed using a discount rate of 15% (which is what Major Bank Ltd advises is a typical discount rate for a wind farm project). The company has spent $15 million up to today researching this opportunity. What is NPV?
Drysdale Co. (a U.S. firm) is considering a new project that would result in cash flows of 5 million Argentine pesos in 1 year under the most likely economic and political conditions. The spot rate of the Argentina peso in 1 year is expected to be $.40 based on these conditions. However, it wants to also account for the 10 percent probability of a political crisis in Argentina, which would change the expected cash flows to 4 million Argentine pesos in 1 year. In addition, it wants to account for the 20 percent probability that the exchange rate may only be $.36 at the end of 1 year. These two forms of country risk are independent. Drysdale’s required rate of return is 25 percent and its initial outlay for this project is $1.4 million. Show the distribution of possible outcomes for the project’s net present value (NPV).
Suppose that Kittle Co. is a U.S. based MNC that is considering setting up a subsidiary in Singapore.
