Anderson International Limited is evaluating a project in Erewhon. The project will create the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow -$590,000 0 1 2 √34 3 220,000 163,000 228,000 207,000 All cash flows will occur in Erewhon and are expressed in dollars. In an attempt to improve its economy, the Erewhonian government has declared that all cash flows created by a foreign company are "blocked" and must be reinvested with the government for one year. The reinvestment rate for these funds is 7 percent. Assume Anderson uses a required return of 13 percent on this project. a. What is the NPV of the project? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the IRR of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a. b. X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. NPV IRR $ 17,315.59 x 14.40 × %
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.

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).
The US based company is investing in a 2-year project in Europe. The initial investment is €10,000. The expected cash inflow in the year one is €6,000 and in the year two is €8,000. The risk-free rate in US is 3% and Europe 2%. If the spot rate is $1.25/€ and the required rate of return of the project is 14%, calculate the NPV of the project in dollars. (A) The NPV of the project in dollars is $1,773.62. (B) The NPV of the project in dollars is $1,704.32. (C) The NPV of the project in dollars is $1,418.90. (D) The NPV of the project in dollars is $1,989.74.
ABC Corporation is considering an investment project proposal that requires an initial outlay of RM500,000. The project is expected to provide net cash inflows of RM125,000 in year 1, RM250,000 in year 2, RM300,000 in year 3, RM225,000 in year 4, RM100,000 in year 5, RM25,000 in year 6 and RM0 in year 7. (a) Compute the payback period for the project.(b) Compute the net present value of the project if the firm estimates its cost of capital to be 14%. Based on the project’s net present value, should Awesome Corporation make thisinvestment? Why?(c) Why is net present value considered to be a superior method of evaluating the cash flows from a project?(d) Evidence suggests that in spite of the theoretical superiority of net present value, financial managers use the internal rate of return approach just as often as the net present value method.Discuss the above statement.
