Birkenstock is considering an investment in a nylon-knitting machine. The machine requires an initial investment of $27,300, has a five-year life, and has no residual value after five years. The company's cost of capital is 10.41%. The company has estimated expected cash inflows for three scenarios: pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic. These expected cash inflows are listed in the following table. Calculate the range for the NPV across the three scenarios.

A corporation is evaluating the relevant cash flows for a capital budgeting decision and must estimate the terminal cash flow. The proposed machine will be disposed of at the end of its usable life of five years at an estimated sale price of $20937. The machine has an original purchase price of $16086, installation cost of $1795, and will be depreciated under the five-year MACRS. Net working capital is expected to decline by $4322. The firm has a 40 percent tax rate on ordinary income and long-term capital gain. The terminal cash flow is:
CIP Co, a telecommunications company, is considering an investment of $150 million into a wind farm. The wind farm is expected to generate after-tax cash flows of $75 million in Year 1, $120 million in Year 2, and $175 million in Year 3. CIP Co’s WACC is 12% but some members of management believe the project should be assessed using a discount rate of 15% (which is what Major Bank Ltd advises is a typical discount rate for a wind farm project). The company has spent $15 million up to today researching this opportunity. What is NPV?
Blossom, Inc., is considering investing in a new production line for eye drops. Other than investing in the equipment, the company needs to increase its cash and cash equivalents by $11,000, increase the level of inventory by $31,000, increase accounts receivable by $26,000, and increase accounts payable by $6,000 at the beginning of the project. Blossom will recover these changes in working capital at the end of the project 6 years later. Assume the appropriate discount rate is 8 percent. What are the present values of the relevant investment cash flows? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.25.) Present value $

Project Kelvin involves an overhaul of the existing system; it will cost $40,000 and generate cash inflows of $20,000 per year for the next 3 years. Project Thompson replaces the existing system; it will cost $285,000 and generate cash inflows of $65,000 per year for 6 years.

The NPV of project Kevin is ____ The NPV of project Thompson is _____ Which project should the company choose?
The management of Osborn Corporation is investigating an investment in equipment that would have a useful life of 7 years. The company uses a discount rate of 12% in its capital budgeting. The net present value of the investment, excluding the annual cash inflow, is -$407,814. To the nearest whole dollar how large would the annual cash inflow have to be to make the investment in the equipment financially attractive? (Ignore income taxes.)

Several companies, including Barnyard and Energy Solutions Corporation, are considering project A, which is believed by all to have a level of risk that is equal to that of the average-risk project at Barnyard. Project A is a project that would require an initial investment of $78,000 and then produce an expected cash flow of $101,300 in 4 years. Project A has an internal rate of return of 7.65 percent. The weighted-average cost of capital for Barnyard is 10.92 percent and the weighted-average cost of capital for Energy Solutions Corporation is 5.21 percent. What is the NPV that Energy Solutions Corporation would compute for project A? $-2568.40 (plus or minus $10) $144922.17 (plus or minus $10) $-11077.83 (plus or minus $10) $4676.36 (plus or minus $10) None of the above is within $10 of the correct answer
The X Company is considering the acquisition of a new processor that has an estimated installed cost of $57,000. The processor has an expected life of 5 years and will be depreciated over a 5 year ACRS life to a zero salvage value. However, it is expected that the processor can be sold at that time for $6,000. If purchased, the entire $57,000 would be borrowed at an interest rate of 9%. A capital budgeting analysis results in a positive NPV for the project. An alternative to purchase is to lease the asset for an annual lease payment of $13,500. The lease includes maintenance services estimated to cost Company C $3,000 per year if they were not included in the lease payment. Company C's cost of capital is 11% and its marginal tax rate is 34%. Evaluate the purchase and lease options and make a recommendation of which is preferred.
Hub and Less Inc. needs to maintain 5 percent of next-year's sales in net working capital.

Raas Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $1,454,000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $310,000 the first year, $290,000 the second year, and $240,000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places. Select the formula, then enter the amounts to calculate the ARR (accounting rate of return) for the new product line. (Round ARR to the nearest hundredth percent [two decimal places], X.XX%.)
