Last month, Dow Chemical analyzed a project with an initial cash outflow of $1 million, and expected cash inflows of $455,000 per year in years 1, 2, and 3. However, before the decision to accept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve took monetary action that lowered interest rates and changed the firm's WACC from 10% to 9.5%. By how much did this change in the WACC affect the project's forecasted NPV? Your answer should be a positive number between 8132 and 12047, rounded to even dollars (although decimal places are okay), with no special characters.

Hibiscus HQ is considering a project with an initial cost of $320,800. The project will not produce any cash flows for the first two years. Starting in Year 3, the project will produce cash inflows of $194,000 a year for three years. This project is risky, so the firm has assigned it a discount rate of 17.4 percent. What is the project's net present value? -$14,586.20 $-11.793.26 $3,285.94 -$16,930.76 $-21,784.92

Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be able to recover its initial investment from Project Omega's expected future cash flows. To answer this question, Cold Goose's CFO has asked that you compute the project's payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received evenly throughout each year. Complete the following table and compute the project's conventional payback period. For full credit, complete the entire table. Note: Round the conventional payback period to two decimal places. Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 4,000,000 $1,600,000 $3,400,000 Expected cash flow $1,400,000 Cumulative cash flow Conventional payback period: The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Cold Goose's CFO. He has now asked you to compute Omega's discounted payback period, assuming the company has a 10% cost of capital. Complete the following…

The firm is considering replacing their computer system. The incremental cash flow from assets for this project are an $80,000 initial investment and and the expected cash flows are $36,000 per vear for the next 3 years.

At present, the common stock is selling for $50 per share, the bonds are selling for $950.62 per $1,000 of face value, and the preferred stock is selling at $74 per share. The estimated market return is 13%, the risk free rate is 8%, and Bluefield's beta is 1.4. Bluefield's tax rate is 30 percent. Short Answer Toolbar navigation BIUS E = E E E E
