Consider a project with free cash flows in one year of $90 000 in a weak economy or $117 000 in a strong economy, with each outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $40 000, and the project's cost of capital is 15.9%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment the firm borrows $20 000 at the risk-free rate and issues new equity to cover the remainder. In this situation, the value of the firm's levered equity from the project is closest to: a. $49301 b. $89301 c. $83500 Od. $69301

Shannon Industries is considering a project which has the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 ? 1 $2,000 2 3,000 3 3,000 4 1,500 The project has a payback of 2.5 years. The firm's cost of capital is 12 percent. What is the project's net present value NPV? Round it to a whole dollar, e.g., 1234.
Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 7 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are 3.5 and 4.5 years, respectively. Time: Cash flow: 0 2 3 4 5 -$5,400 $1,600 $2,800 $2,000 $2,000 $1,800 Use the MIRR decision rule to evaluate this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) 6 $1,600
You are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $95.1 million up front and will take one year to build. After that it is expected to produce profits of $31.8 million at the end of every year of production. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 7.6%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged. The NPV of the project will be $ million. (Round to one decimal place.)
Suppose your firm is considering two mutually exclusive, required projects with the cash flows shown below. The required rate of return on projects of both of their risk class is 8 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistic for the projects are 2 and 3 years, respectively. Time 1 2 3 Project A Cash Flow Project B Cash Flow -25,000 15,000 35,000 6,000 -35,000 15,000 25,000 55,000 Use the NPV decision rule to evaluate these projects; which one(s) should be accepted or rejected? Multiple Choice Accept A, reject B Accept neither A nor B Accept both A and B Reject A, accept B
Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $8.8 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.68 million per year for 8 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.85 percent and a cost of equity of 11.43 percent. The debt-equity ratio is .68 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?

Suppose your firm is considering investing in a project with the cash flows shown below, that the required rate of return on projects of this risk class is 7 percent, and that the maximum allowable payback and discounted payback statistics for the project are 3.5 and 4.5 years, respectively.

Assume a company is going to make an investment of $300,000 in a machine and the following are the cash flows that two different products would bring in years one through four. The company's required rate of return is 12%. What is the NPV for Option A? What is the NPV for Option B? What is the IRR for Option A? What is the IRR for Option B? PLEASE NOTE #1: The dollar amounts will be with "$" and commas as needed and rounded to two decimal places (i.e. $12,345.67). Round your IRR answers, in percentage format, to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34%). Given the above answers, which project should the company invest in? Project . PLEASE NOTE #2: Your answer is either "A" or "B" - capital letter, no quotes.
You are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $104.8 million upfront and will take one year to build. After that, it is expected to produce profits of $28.2 million at the end of every year of production. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 7.8%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR. Does the IRR rule agree with the NPV rule?
You are considering a project that will cost $50,000 to set up, and will pay out $18,000 1,2,3 and 4 years from today. The unlevered beta for this project is 1.2, the risk free rate is 6.5%, and the expected return on the S&P 500 is 15%. Corporate taxes are 25%. a. What is the unlevered cost of equity for this project? b. What is the NPV of this project if you finance with all equity? c. You are considering borrowing $30,000 to finance this project, with repayment in 4 years. You could normally borrow at 7.5%. The Nebraska state government has offered to lend you the money at 6%. What is the adjusted present value of this project if you take the subsidized loan?
I am considering a project with free cash flows in one year of €200,000 or €250,000 with equal probability. The cost of the project is $180,000. The project’s cost of capital is 12% and the risk-free rate is 4%. What is the NPV of the project? If the project is financed by all equity, what is the initial market value of the unlevered equity? If the project is financed with 50% debt (at the risk-free rate), what is the expected return on the levered equity?
Consider a project with free cash flows in one year of $90,000 in a weak economy or $117,000 in a strong economy, with each outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $80,000, and the project's cost of capital is 15%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. Suppose that to raise the funds for the initial investment the firm borrows $40,000 at the risk-free rate and issues new equity to cover the remainder. In this situation, the cost of capital for the firm's levered equity is closest to:
