Question

Superfast Bikes is thinking of developing a new composite road bike. Development will take 6 years and the cost is $208,500 per year. Once in production, the bike is expected to make $296,102 per year for 10 years. The cash inflows begin at the end of year 7.

Assuming the cost of capital is 9.9% per annum:

a. The NPV of this investment opportunity is $.
(Round your answer to the nearest dollar)

 

Should the company make this investment?

 

b.  The IRR of this investment opportunity is %.
(Round your answer to two decimal places)

 

Note: The IRR for this question will require Excel or a financial calculator. Students will not be required to do this in an exam unless you are told explicitly to do so.

 

If the cost of capital is 9.9%, the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged is %.
(Round your answer to two decimal places. Your answer should include the appropriate positive/negative sign.)
 
c.  For the decision to change, development must last  _____ years.
(Round your answer to two decimal places)
 

Assuming now that the cost of capital is instead 12.4% per annum:

d.  The NPV of this investment opportunity is $.
(Round your answer to the nearest dollar)
(A positive NPV answer does not require a sign. A negative NPV requires you to use the "-" sign)

 

Should the company make this investment?

 

e.  If the cost of capital is 12.4%, the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision changed is %.
(Round your answer to two decimal places. Your answer should include the appropriate positive/negative sign.)

  

 

f.  For the decision to change, development must last  _____ years.
