Project panther has an initial after-tax cost of $150,000 at t=0. The project is expected toproduce after-tax cash flows of $60,000 for the next three years. The project’s WACC is 12%.The project’s CFs depend critically upon customer’s acceptance of the product. There’s a 50%probability that the product will be successful and generate annual after-tax CFs of $100,000,and a 50% probability that it will not be successful and hence produce annual after-tax CFs of-$10,000.Should the company abandon the project after a year?

Assume the following facts: A project will cost RM45 000 to develop. When the system becomes operational, after a one-year development period, operational costs will be RM9000 during each year of the system’s five year useful life. The system will produce benefits of RM30 000 in the first year of operation, and this figure will increase by 10% each year. When is the payback period for this project? Using the same facts, what is the ROI for this project? Using the same facts, what is the NPV for this project? (*Assuming 12% rate)
Giant Equipment Ltd. is considering two projects to invest next year. Both projects have the same start-up costs.

Assume the following facts:• A project will cost $45,000 to develop.• When the system becomes operational after a one-year development period, operational costs willbe $9,000 during each year of the system’s five-year useful life.• The system will produce benefits of $30,000 in the first year of operation, and this figure willincrease by a compound 10% each year.what is the ROI for this project?
WorldTrans is evaluating a new project that would cost $8.2 million at t = 0. There is a 50% chance that the project would be highly successful and generate annual after-tax cash flows of $6.2 million during Years 1, 2, and 3. However, there is a 50% chance that it would be less successful and would generate only $1 million for each of the 3 years. If the project is highly successful, it would open the door for another investment of $10 million at the end of Year 2, and this new investment could be sold for $20 million at the end of Year 3. Assuming a WACC of 8.5%, what is the project's expected NPV (in thousands) after taking into account this growth option? Do not round intermediate calculations. Group of answer choices $5,720 $3,661 $4,576 $5,492 $5,034

A firm is considering a project with a 5-year life and an initial cost of $1,000,000. The discount rate for the project is10%. The firm expects to sell 2,500 units a year for the first 3 years. The after-tax cash flow per unit is $120. Beyondyear 3, there is a 50% chance that sales will fall to 400 units a year for both years 4 and 5, and a 50% chance that saleswill continue at 2,500 units a year, for both years 4 and 5. The firm will have the option to abandon the project after 3years (i.e., at t=3) by selling it for $250,000 (after-taxes). You will know which state will be realized in years 4 and 5(should the project be continued) by the time you have to make the potential abandonment decision at t=3. What is thenet present value of this project given the sales forecasts and the abandonment option? In your answer, showthe NPV with the option and NPV without the option.
