Suppose that in the year 2015, Oceanaire, Inc. planned to produce 550,000 units of its lightweight scuba tanks. Of the 550,000 it planned to produce, a total of 25,000 units would be added to the inventory at its new plant in Arizona. Also assumethat these units have been selling at a price of $225 each and that the price has been constant over time. Suppose further that this year the firm built a new plant for $6 million and acquired $3.0 million worth of equipment. It had no otherinvestment projects, and to avoid complications, assume no depreciation.Now suppose that at the end of the year, Oceanaire had produced 550,000 units but had only sold 500,000 units and that inventories now contained 50,000 units more than they had at the beginning of the year. At $225 each, that means that thefirm added $11,250,000 in new inventory.This year Oceanaire actually invested $.

(gnore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company is considering an investment that has the following data: Year 2 5 Investment $20,000 Cash inflow $12,000 $12,000 $15,000 $4,000 $4,000 In what year does the payback period for this investment occur? Year 2. Year 3. Year 4. Year 5.
You are evaluating a 20 year project. Using a discount rate of 10%, you have calculated the project's NPV as $200. Part 1 After completing your project estimation, the sales group of another division in the company notes that your project will probably cannibalize the sales of their products. They estimate that their after-tax profits will decrease by $27 per year for the 20-year life of the project. What is the new NPV of your project after taking this into account?
(a) Calculate the payback period for each project. (b) Calculate the net present value (NPV) for each project. (c) Calculate the profitability index of each project. (d) Explain to the company which project should be implemented. Support your answer.
1. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) ABC Co. is considering an investment opportunity having cash flows as described below: Project I would require an immediate cash outlay of $10,000 and would result in cash savings of $3,000 each year for 8 years. Required: If ABC Co. has a required rate of return of 14%, determine if the project is acceptable. Use the NPV method.

Not Using Excel You must find the payback for a project, and you have misplaced some of the information that you weregiven. You know that the project will generate positive cash flows of $60,000 per year at the end of each ofthe next 5 years, that its NPV is $75,000, and that the company's WACC is 10%. What is the project's regularpayback? Hint: You must first find the project's cost, then use it to find the payback.
A long term efficiency project will cost $837 today but will not yield any return for for 3 years (Cashflows at time (1) and (2) = 0). At time (3), the project will yield a positive cashflow of $1,079. What is the efficiency project's internal rate of return?

Given the initial investment in a factory processing equipment as Ghc500,037. Let the opportunity cost of capital for the industry be 10% p.a. Assuming that the equipment is capable of generating an after-tax returns of Ghc115,000 for the first 5 years and Ghc65000 for the 6 year and Ghe53400 for the 7th year. a. Find the Net Present Value (NPV) b. Detemine the Internal Rate of Return c. Identify three ways in which the Net Present value is superior to the Internal Rate of return as investment criteria
2. Internal rate of return (IRR) The internal rate of return (IRR) refers to the compound annual rate of return that a project generates based on its up-front cost and subsequent cash flows. Consider the case of Falcon Freight: Falcon Freight is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Sigma) that will require an initial investment of $800,000. Falcon Freight has been basing capital budgeting decisions on a project’s NPV; however, its new CFO wants to start using the IRR method for capital budgeting decisions. The CFO says that the IRR is a better method because returns in percentage form are easier to understand and compare to required returns. Falcon Freight’s WACC is 7%, and project Sigma has the same risk as the firm’s average project. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $275,000 Year 2 $400,000 Year 3 $500,000 Year 4 $400,000 Which of the following is the correct calculation of…
If you insulate your office for $15000 you will save 1500 a year in heating exp. these savings will last forever. 1. What is the NPV of the investment when the cost of capital is 5% and 10% 2. What is the IRR of the investment? 3. what is the payback period on this investment?
Determine the following: 1. Determine the initial investment required by the press. 2. Determine the annual after tax cash inflows attributable to the press from year 1 to 4 3. Determine the after tax cash flow on year 5. 4. ASSUMING the project’s IRR is 25%, the discount rate should be above 25% for the project to have a PW higher than zero (true or false) 5. Assuming that at the very last minute, you are able to sell the equipment for 200,000 (without altering the book value). What is the cash flow on year 5? PROBLEM: Wells Printing is considering expanding its business by purchasing a printing press. The cost of the press is $2 million. Installation costs amount to $200,000. As a result of acquisition of the press, sales in each of the next 5 years are expected to be $1.6 million from this new line of business, but product costs (excluding depreciation) will represent 50% of sales. The press will not affect the firm’s net working capital requirements. The press will be depreciated…
