12. Problem 17.24 (Assessing Foreign Project Funded with Debt and Equity) Algo eBook Nebraska Co. plans to pursue a project in Argentina that will generate revenue of 9 million Argentine pesos (AP) at the end of each of the next four years. It will have to pay operating expenses of AP4 million per year. The Argentine government will charge a 30 percent tax rate on profits. All after-tax profits each year will be remitted to the U.S. parent and no additional taxes are owed. The spot rate of the AP is presently $0.20. The AP is expected to depreciate by 10 percent each year for the next four years. The salvage value of the assets will be worth AP36 million in four years after capital gains taxes are paid. The initial investment will require $10 million, half of which will be in the form of equity from the U.S. parent and half of which will come from borrowed funds. Nebraska will borrow the funds in Argentine pesos. The annual interest rate on the funds borrowed is 14 percent. Annual…
4. Mulroney Corp. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of S9,000 at t = 0. Project X has an expected life of 2 years with after-tax cash inflows of $6,200 and $7,100 at the end of Years 1 and 2, respectively. In addition, Project X can be repeated at the end of Year 2 with no changes in its cash flows. Project Y has an expected life of 4 years with after-tax cash inflows of $4,600 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Each project has a WACC of 8%.

Q7: Oil wells in the United States can operate and produce for an average of 20-40 years. Investing in an oil well requires foreseeing risks, opportunities, and costs associated with the project investment. Suppose you are an investor and considering investing in a project that will produce for 20 years. The expected annual production capacity is 25,000 barrels. The fixed cost of purchasing equipment, leasing land, drilling the well, and setting up production equipment is $15 million. The marginal cost of producing is $20 / barrel, and you expect the price of oil to be $80 / barrel for the entire lifespan of this rig. The annual interest rate is 10%. Should you invest? If yes, in which year will it start to be profitable? If no, why not?

10- Assume that a company is considering opening a small store in İzmir. The store will cost 100 million TL to build, and the present value of the expected cash flows from the store is 120 million TL. Further assume that by opening this store, the company will have the chance to expand into a much larger store any time over the next 5 years. The cost of expansion will be 200 million TL, and it will be undertaken only if the present value of the expected cash flows exceeds 200 million TL. At the moment, the present value of the expected cash flows from the expansion is believed to be only 150 million. The variance is 0.08, 5-year risk-free rate is 6%. What would be the strategic NPV?
