South Side, Inc., is considering opening a branch in another state. The operating cash flow will be $185,000 a year. The project will require new equipment costing $495,000 that would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the 5-year life of the project. The equipment will have a market value of $95,000 at the end of the project. The project requires an initial investment of $110,000 in net working capital, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The tax rate is 28 percent. What is the project's IRR? Enter your answer as a whole number rounded to three decimal places, i.e., enter 5.123% as 5.123.
You are evaluating a project that will cost $543,000, but is expected to produce cash flows of $127,000 per year for 10 years, with the first cash flow in one year. Your cost of capital is 10.9% and your company's preferred payback period is three years or less. a. What is the payback period of this project? b. Should you take the project if you want to increase the value of the company?
A company is developing a special vehicle for Arctic exploration. The development requires an initial investment of $65,000 and investments of $52,000 and $42,000 for the next two years, respectively. Net returns beginning in Year 4 are expected to be $31,000 per year for 14 years. If the company requires a rate of return of 12%, compute the net present value of the project and determine whether the company should undertake the project. The net present value of the project is $ (Round the final answer to the nearest dollar as needed. Round all intermediate values to six decimal places as needed.)
You are evaluating a project that will cost $502,000, but is expected to produce cash flows of $127,000 per year for 10 years, with the first cash flow in one year.

Should you take the project if you want to increase the value of the company? a. What is the payback period of this project? The payback period is years. (Round to two decimal places.) b. Should you take the project if you want to increase the value of the company? (Select from the drop-down menus.) If you want to increase the value of the company you take the project since the NPV is will not will
You are considering a proposal to produce and market a new sluffing machine. The most likely outcomes for the project are as follows: Expected sales: 115,000 units per year Unit price: $220 Variable cost: $132 Fixed cost: $4,890,000 The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $16.70 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the required rate of return is 12%. However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. In one scenario a sharp rise in the dollar could cause sales to fall 30% below expectations for the life of the project and, if that happens, the unit price would probably be only $210. The good news is that fixed costs could be as low as $3,260,000, and variable costs would decline in proportion to sales. a. What is project NPV if all variables are as expected? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in thousands not in…
Jasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10. What is the payback period for this project?

Blur Corp. is looking at investing in a production facility that will require an initial investment of $500,000. The facility will have a three-year useful life, and it will not have any salvage value at the end of the project’s life. If demand is strong, the facility will be able to generate annual cash flows of $250,000, but if demand turns out to be weak, the facility will generate annual cash flows of only $120,000. Blur Corp. thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong and a 50% chance that demand will be weak. If the company uses a project cost of capital of 13%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project? -$66,346 -$63,187 -$34,753 -$44,231 Blur Corp. could spend $510,000 to build the facility. Spending the additional $10,000 on the facility will allow the company to switch the products they produce in the facility after the first year of operations if demand turns out to be weak in year 1.
