First National Bank of Conway is considering installing two ATMs in its Southsidebranch. The new machines are expected to cost $37,000 apiece. Installation costswill amount to about $15,000 per machine. Each machine has a projected useful lifeof 10 years. Due to rapid growth in the Southside district, these two machines areexpected to handle 50,000 cash transactions per year. On average, each cash transac-tion is expected to save 30 cents in teller expenses. If First National has a 10 percentcost of capital, should the bank proceed with this investment project?

To determine whether the project should be accepted, we need to calculate the NPV of the project.…

A university is trying to determine how much it should charge for tickets to basketball games to help offset the expenses of the new arena. The cost to build the arena including labor, materials. etc. was $92 million. Each year the maintenance cost is expected to increase by 5% as the building gets older. The maintenance cost for the first year is $150.000. Utilities are expected to average about $200,000 per year and labor costs $300,000. The average attendance at basketball games over the year is expected to be 100,000 people (or 100,000 tickets sold to events). Assuming the arena has no other source of income besides regular ticket sales (not including student tickets) for basketball games, what should the university charge sothat it can recover at least 6% cost of borrowing on its investment? The university expects the arena to be used for 40 years and to have no appreciable salvage value.
ZipCar auto parts store has $88,000 to invest in a project to detect and reduce insier theft in their stores. They have considering investing in one of two alternatives, identified as Y and Z. Z is the higher first-cost alternative, and the incremental initial investment between the two is $22,000 and will exhibit a rate of return of 12% per year. Z requires an investment of $88,000. They expect a rate of return on the $88,000 investment of 49 percent. Answer the following questions; (a) what is the size of the investment required in Y?, and, (b) what is the rate of return on Y? The size of the investment required in Y is $ The rate of return on Y is %.
A surgery center specializes in high-risk cardiovascular surgery. The center needs to forecast its profitability over the next three years to plan for capital growth projects. For the first year, the hospital anticipates serving 1,300 patients, which is expected to grow by 9% per year. Based on current reimbursement formulas, each patient provides an average billing of $125,000, which will grow by 2% each year. However, because of managed care, the center collects only 25% of billings. Variable costs for supplies and drugs are calculated to be 10% of billings. Fixed costs for salaries, utilities, and so on will amount to $20,000,000 in the first year and are assumed to increase by 5% per year. Develop a spreadsheet model to predict the net present value of profit over the next three years. Use a discount rate of 4%. (Type whole numbers.)

The dean of the School of Fine Arts is trying to decide whether to purchase a copy machine to place in the lobby of the building. The machine would add to student convenience, but the dean feels compelled to earn an 8 percent return on the investment of funds. Estimates of cash inflows from copy machines that have been placed in other university buildings indicate that the copy machine would probably produce incremental cash inflows of approximately $12,000 per year. The machine is expected to have a three-year useful life with a zero salvage value. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required a. Use Present Value Appendix PV of $1. to determine the maximum amount of cash the dean should be willing to pay for a copy machine. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.) b.

Pinder Co., Ltd. is considering investing $500, 000 to build a factory to produce electric bicycles. Pinder Co., Ltd. has signed a contract with a large retailer that guarantees that Pinder Co., Ltd. will get $50 for every bicycle sold, in addition to all production - related costs. This means that the annual cash flow generated by the production of bicycles will be $50 multiplied by the number of bicycles sold. In exchange for this guarantee, the retailer will take over the factory at a price of $200, 000 in five years. Pinder Co., Ltd. is expected to sell 7, 000 bicycles every year in the next five years. Assume that the discount rate of Pinder Co., Ltd. is 10%. How much do the sales of bicycles need to be reduced before this project reduces the wealth of the shareholders of Pinder Co., Ltd. ?
Blossom Corp. management is investigating two computer systems. The Alpha 8300 costs $2,341,725 and will generate cost savings of $ 1,309, 125 in each of the next five years. The Beta 2100 system costs $ 2,812,500 and will produce cost savings of $843, 750 each year in the first three years and then $2 million each year for the next two years. The company's discount rate for similar projects is 14 percent.What is the NPV of each system? (Enter negative amounts using negative sign, e.g -45.25. Do not round discount factors.

FEX, a grocery store, is considering offering one-hour photo developing in their store. The firm expects that sales from the new one-hour machine will be $139,000 per year. FEX currently offers overnight film processing with annual sales of $90,000. While FEX expects that many of the one-hour photo sales will be to new customers, it also expects that most of the old customers will switch to the new one-hour machine. Specifically, FEX estimates that 75% of their current overnight photo customers will switch and use the one-hour service. Given these expectations, the level of incremental sales associated with introducing the new one hour photo service is closest to O $206,500 O $36,300 O $71,500 $139,000 O $121,800 O $94,800
First National Bank of Conway is considering installing two ATMs in its Southside branch. The new machines are expected to cost $37000 apiece. Installation costs will amount to about $15000 per machine. Each machine has a projected useful life of 10 years. Due to rapid growth in the Southside district, these two machines (combined) are expected to handle 50000 cash transactions per year. On average, each cash transaction is expected to save $0.30 in teller expenses. If First National has a 0.10 cost of capital, what is the NPV of this project?
The Hangover Diner is considering a project to build a new diner next to Saint Joseph's University with an initial cost of $555,000. Construction will take 2 years. The diner will open in year 3, so no cash will be received in the first 2 years. At the end of the third year, the diner expected to produce a cash inflow of $100,000. Starting in the fourth year the cash flows are expected to grow by 2.50% per year forever. What is the project's net present value today at a 15% discount rate? O -$22,711 $44,274 O $49,915 $58,552
