None Suppose that the managers of the router division of Cisco Systems are considering the development of a wireless home networking appliance, called HomeNet, that will provide both the hardwareand the software necessary to run an entire home from any Internet connection. Cisco's receivables are 14.1% of sales and its payables are 14.7% of COGS. Forecast the required investment in networking capital for HomeNet assuming that sales and cost of goods sold (COGS) will be as follows:The required investment in net working capital for year 0 is $ (Round to the nearest integer. Enter decreases as negative numbers.)The required investment in net working capital for year 1 is $ (Round to the nearest integer. Enter decreases as negative numbers.)The required investment in net working capital for year 2 is $ (Round to the nearest integer. Enter decreases as negative numbers.)The required investment in net working capital for year 3 is $ (Round to the nearest integer.

Hello sir how r u, please help

A venture capital investment group received a proposal from Wireless Solutions to produce a new smartphone. The variable cost per unit is estimated at $250, the sales price would be set at twice the VC/unit, fixed costs are estimated at $750,000, and the investors will put up the funds if the project is likely to have an operating income of $500,000 or more. What would sales volume (units) be required to meet this profit goal?
Calculate the NPV of the proposed investment, using the inputs suggested in this case. How sensitive is this NPV to future sales volume? *The answer is 15.7 million; please show me the work.

Assume that you are the team leader of strategic planning and advisory board of M/S XYZ company. The company has decided to enter the market with a new electronic product. Your team conducted a marker research and presented the following two strategies along with the necessary data. Strategy A: Build a large plant with an estimated cost of 20,00,000 Rials. This alternative can face two states of nature on market conditions: High demand with a probability of 0.70, or a low demand with a probability of 0.30. If the demand is high, the company can expect to receive an annual revenue of 5,00,000 Rials for 7 years. If the demand were low the annual revenue would be only 1,00,000 Rials.

A large electronic retailer is considering the purchase of software that will minimize shipping expenses in its supply chain network. This software, including installation and training, would be a $10-million investment for the retailer. If the firm’s effective interest rate is 15% per year and the life of the software is four years, what annual savings in shipping expenses must there be to justify the purchase of the software?
A fin-tech firm is considering devising a new payment system. The initial cost for developing this system will be $20 million today. Once the system development is completed, in one year, the system will be sold to a major bank for $25 million. Assume that both the development of the system and the sale of the project for $25 million are certain. The firm can pay $20 million of investment entirely using its own cash. Or the firm can also raise funds to finance part of the investment by issuing a security that will pay investors $11 million in one year. Suppose the risk-free rate of interest is 10%. What is the NPV of this project if the fin-tech firm invests its own money and does not issue the new security? What is the NPV if the firm issues the new security? Briefly explain your answer by comparing the NPVs
A group of venture investors is considering putting money into Lemma Books, which wants to produce a new reader for electronic books. The variable cost per unit is estimated at $248, the sales price would be set at twice the VC/unit, and fixed costs are estimated at $357730. The investors will put up the funds if the project is likely to have an operating income of $406340 or more. What sales volume would be required in order to meet the minimum profit goal? (Hint: Use the break-even formula, but include the required profit in the numerator.) Note: Answers should be whole numbers (no decimals) Answer:
Webmasters.com has developed a powerful new server that would be used for corporations' Internet activities. It would cost $10 million at Year 0 to buy the equipment necessary to manufacture the server. The project would require net working capital at the beginning of each year in an amount equal to 10% of the year's projected sales; for example, NWC = 10% (Sales). The servers would sell for $24,000 per unit, and Webmasters believes that variable costs would amount to $17,500 per unit. After Year 1, the sales price and variable costs will increase at the inflation rate of 3%. The company's nonvariable costs would be $1 million at Year 1 and would increase with inflation. The server project would have a life of 4 years. If the project is undertaken, it must be continued for the entire 4 years. Also, the project's returns are expected to be highly correlated with returns on the firm's other assets. The firm believes it could sell 1,000 units per year. The equipment would be depreciated…
