lem 10-29 Break-Even Cost [LO2] Light emitting diode (LEDS) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.41 and lasts for 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.20 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt hour of electricity costs $.117. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. However, electricity costs actually vary quite a bit depending on location and user type. An industrial user in West Virginia might pay $.04 per kilowatt-hour whereas a residential user in Hawaii might pay $.25. You require a return of 9 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year. What is the break-even cost per kilowatt-hour? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 6 decimal places, e.g., 32.161616.) Break-even cost

Problem 24-14 Abandonment Value [LO5] We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 5,300 units per year at $67 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual cash flow is projected to be $67 × 5,300 = $355,100. The relevant discount rate is 16 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,520,000. X a. What is the base-case NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,240,000. If expected sales are revised based on the first year's performance, below what level of expected sales would it make sense to abandon the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) a. NPV b. Level of expected sales
#11 NPV A proposed nuclear power plant will cost 2.2 to build and then will produce cash flow of 3 million per year for 15 years. After that period (in 15 years) it must be decommissioned at a cost of 900 million. What is the project NPV if the discount rate is 5%? What is the discount rate at 18%?
Problem 11-27 Scenario Analysis [LO2] Consider a project to supply Detroit with 27,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $5,300,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 6 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,275,000 and that variable costs should be $240 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 6-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $650,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $350 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $510,000. You require a return of 14 percent and face a tax rate of 25 percent on this project. a-1.

CH5 #10 A company is considering two alternative marketing strategies for a new product. Introducing the product will require an outlay of $15,000. With a low price, the product will generate cash proceeds of $10,000 per year and will have a life of two years. With a high price, the product will generate cash proceeds of $18,000 but will have a life of only one year. The hurdle rate for this project is 0.05. Which marketing strategy should be accepted?
