Problem 11-3 Scenario Analysis [LO2] Stinnett Transmissions, Incorporated, has the following estimates for its new gear assembly project: Price = $2,300 per unit; variable costs = $460 per unit; fixed costs = $4.2 million; quantity = 76,000 units. Suppose the company believes all of its estimates are accurate only to within ±15 percent. What values should the company use for the four variables given here when it performs its best-case scenario analysis? What about the worst-case scenario?

Solve for LO3 21. (LO3 20 for data / Do not solve) LO3 20. Sensitivity Analysis We are evaluating a project that costs $1.68 million, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 90,000 units per year. Price per unit is $37.95, variable cost per unit is $23.20, and fixed costs are $815,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent, and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. a. Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV. What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a 500-unit decrease in projected sales. b. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a $1 decrease in estimated variable costs. LO3 21. Scenario Analysis In the previous problem, suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within…

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. What is the estimated OCF for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your…
FINA 340 Long Horizon NPV Problem (terminal value) Beta Compounding Pharmaceuticals is about to launch a new specialty drug for arthritis. It has been working on this drug for around 10 years and has spent in excess of $4 million in research and development to date. It will need to spend $400,000 on new equipment for a production facilities upgrade to be able to produce the new drug. The company estimates that an additional $50,000 will be required This equipment will be to train current workers on the new equipment before production can begin. depreciated on a straight line basis over 5 years with no planned salvage value. Beta estimates that it will have to add about $10,000 in net working capital before production begins. Beta also estimates that it will have to market the new drug at an initial cost of $100,000, with incremental marketing costs of at least $25,000 for the next three years. The company believes that the drug will continue to be sold for a long period of time, at…

Problem 11-13 Operating Cash Flow and Leverage [LO4] A proposed project has fixed costs of $86,000 per year. The operating cash flow at 8,200 units is $93,800. Ignore the effect of taxes. a. What is the degree of operating leverage? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.) b. If units sold rise from 8,200 to 8,700, what will be the new operating cash flow? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c.

Exercise 24-20A (Algo) IRR for investment using Excel LO P4 OptiLux is considering investing in an automated manufacturing system. The system requires an initial investment of $5.0 million, has a 20-year life, and will have zero salvage value. If the system is implemented, the company will save $780,000 per year in direct labor costs. The company requires a 12% return from its investments. Using Excel, compute the internal rate of return for the proposed investment. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Internal rate of return
You are an analyst for a large public pension fund and you have been assigned the task of evaluating two different external portfolio managers (Y and Z). You consider the following historical average return, standard deviation, and CAPM beta estimates for these two managers over the past five years: Portfolio Actual Avg. Retum Standard Deviation Beta Manger Y 10.20% 12009% 1.20 Manger Z 8.80% 9.90% 0.80 Additionally, your estimate for the risk premium for the market portfolio is 5.00 percent and the risk-free rate is currently 4.50 percent. For both Manager Y and Manager Z, calculate the expected return using the CAPM. Express your answers to the nearest basis point (Le., xx.xx96).
Question 20 Arrow Electronics is considering Projects S and L, which are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. Project S has an initial cost of $1 million and cash inflows of $370,000 for 4 years, while Project L has an initial cost of $2 million and cash inflows of $720,000 for 4 years. The CEO wants to use the IRR criterion, while the CFO favors the NPV method, using a WACC of 6.67%. You were hired to advise the firm on the best procedure. If the wrong decision criterion is used, how much potential value would the firm lose? That is, what is the difference between the NPVs for these two projects? Your answer should be between 112000 and 202000, rounded to even dollars (although decimal places are okay), with no special characters. 1,000,000
Ch 25 Pro. 2 Please give me step by step instructions to calculate the answer. Average Rate of Return—Cost Savings Master Fab Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $99,000 with a $9,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of $22,950 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $4,770 per year. Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment. If required, round to the nearest whole percent.__________________ % Liz C
