Germaine Metals is considering installing a new molding machine which is expected to produce operating cash flows of $52,200 per year for 7 years. At the beginning of the project, inventory will increase by $19,800, accounts receivables will increase by $15,400, and accounts payable will increase by $19,000. At the end of the project, net working capital will return to the level it was prior to undertaking the new project. The initial cost of the molding machine is $262,000. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the life of the project. The equipment will be salvaged at the end of the project creating an aftertax cash flow of $42,400. What is the net present value of this project given a required return of 12.7 percent? Change in NWC = $ CFO = $ CF7 = $ NPV = $

The operating cash flows are expected to be $15 million the first year and are expected to increase by $5 million in each of the four remaining years. At the end of the project, they will recover the net working capital, and they expect to sell their equipment, producing an after tax cash flow of $15 million. Based on the riskiness of the project, they require a return of 17.5%. What is the NPV of this project? Question 2 options: $(5,504,371) $(5,344,049) $(4,916,526) $(5,611,252) $(5,130,287)
The management of Lanzilotta Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $208,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $104,000, which includes depreciation of $15,000. The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $24,000. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 6,000 units per year at $74 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual cash flow is projected to be $74 × 6,000 = $444,000. The relevant discount rate is 18 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,710,000. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,540,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,000 units if the first year is a success and revised downward to 4,600 units if the first year is not a success. a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
