Boisjoly Enterprises is considering buying a vacant lot that sells for $1.4 million. If the property is purchased, the company’s plan is to spend another $6 million todayto build a hotel on the property. The cash flows from the hotel will depend critically on whether the state imposes a tourism tax in this year’s legislative session. If the tax is imposed, the hotel is expected to produce cash flows of $500,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years. If the tax is not imposed, the hotel is expected to produce cash flows of $1,200,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years. The project has a 12% WACC. Assume at the outset that the company does not have the option to delay the project. 1.What is the project’s expected NPV if the tax is imposed? 2.What is the project’s expected NPV if the tax is not imposed? 3.Given that there is a 45% chance that the tax will be imposed, what is the project’s expected NPV if management proceeds with it today? 4.Although the company does not have an…
You are considering starting a new doughnut shop in the Prince Kuhio Mall. You wish to complete a cash flow statement to be used for capital budgeting purposes. You will have to purchase $80,000 of equipment with cash you have saved to manufacture the doughnuts. You will purchase the equipment on the day you start the business.

Bill expects aftertax cash inflows of $86,000 annually for six years, after which he plans to scrap the equipment and retire to the beaches of Nevis. The first cash inflow occurs at the end of the first year. Assume the required return is 11 percent. What is the project’s profitability index (PI)? (Do not round intermediate calculations.

Robertson Construction Company is considering two projects upon which to bid. The first is for 5-year renovation of an aging government building. For Robertson to do this job they will need to invest $1.2 million into various equipment (with the total salvage value being approximately $50,000, with yearly operations cost beginning at $5,000 in year 1, and increasing by $500 each year of the project). The second is the building of a library which is expected to take 7 years and will require a $1.6 million dollar investment (salvage being $80,000 at the end of 7 years with yearly operations cost at $4,000). Assume that almost identical renovation projects come up every 5 and 7 years respectively. Robertson has a MARR of 10% a) Robertson has been asked to quote an annual price that each project will cost. What is the minimum annual price Robertson should ask for if each project will be worth their while? Include all your calculations for this.b) If these projects were mutually exclusive…
Priscila Eunice Co. is interested in purchasing a state-of-the-art packaging machine for its manufacturing plant. The new machine has been designed to basically eliminate all errors and defects in the production process. The new machine will cost P150,000, and have a salvage value of P70,000 at the end of its seven-year useful life. Priscila Eunice has determined that cash inflows for years 1 through 7 will be as follows: P32,000; P57,000; P15,000; P28,000; P16,000; P10,000; and P15,000 respectively. Maintenance will be required in years 3 and 6 and at P10,000 and P7,000 respectively. Priscila Eunice uses a discount rate of 11 percent and wants projects to have a payback period of no longer than 5 years. Required: a.) Compute the net present value of the new machine. b.) Compute the firm's profitability index. c.) Compute the payback period. d.) Evaluate this investment proposal for Priscila Eunice Co.
Students at Harvard University are interested in developing a 6th generation 3D printer. The project has a two-year life with an initial investment of $160,000 to fund a year-long development phase. At the end of a year, a further $85,000 is required for production. Cash inflows from sales will occur at the end of the second year. The Project Manager of this additive manufacturing development team at the university is very aware of the uncertainty about the amount of cash inflows as it is unclear whether the market will embrace such a new innovative device. The management team believes there is a 70 percent probability that the new device will be a success. They also believe that the direction of device will become more apparent over the next year. In particular, there is an 80 percent chance that the direction over the next year will continue over the subsequent year. If the device is initially a success and this direction continues in the next year, the payoff will be $465,000. If…
