With annual earnings of $32.5 million every year, Durango Data was confident that this amount of profit could be sustained indefinitely if it simply maintained its current portfolio of assets and avoided any new projects. But Durango is approached by a data warehouse technology company with an opportunity for Durango to invest $29 million today; and $45 million one year from now in a new product that requires technical development and regulatory approval. The new investment will generate annual after-tax cash flow of $17 million in perpetuity starting three years from today. Durango has 14.0 million shares outstanding and the required rate of return on the stock is 11%. What would Durango's new stock price ($ per share) be if the Board approves the investment? $21.93 $24.98 $20.26 $25.10 $21.53

Better Mousetraps has developed a new trap. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $6.3 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line over 6 years, but, in fact, it can be sold after 6 years for $583,000. The firm believes that working capital at each date must be maintained at a level of 10% of next year’s forecast sales. The firm estimates production costs equal to $1.10 per trap and believes that the traps can be sold for $5 each. Sales forecasts are given in the following table. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the trap becomes technologically obsolete. The firm’s tax bracket is 40%, and the required rate of return on the project is 12%. Year: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Thereafter Sales (millions of traps) 0 0.6 0.8 0.9 0.9 0.8 0.6 0 Suppose the firm can cut its requirements for working capital in half by using better inventory control systems. By how much will this increase project NPV?
martin development company is deciding whether to proceed with Project X. The cost would be $9 million in year 0, there is a 50% chance that X would be hugely successful and would generate a cash after tax flow of $6 million per year during years 1, 2 and three. however there is a 50% chance that X would be less successful and would generate only $1 million per year for the three years. If Project X is hugely successful it would open the door to another investment project why which would require an outlay of 10 million dollars at the end of year 2. project Y would then be sold to another company at a price of $20 million at the end of year 3 Martins weighted average cost of capital is 11%.

You are considering adding a new product to one of your firm’s existing product lines which will generate an additional $200,000 in sales per year and will have a margin of 50% (same as the existing group margin). This will entail an increase in Net Working Capital of $10,000 and an investment in property, plant, and equipment of $50,000 per year. Assuming the company pays no tax and any depreciation in that year is negligible, the annual change in Unlevered Free Cash Flows resulting from the addition of the product is: a $40,000 b $50,000 c $90,000 d $100,000 e $10,000

The firm is considering replacing their computer system. The incremental cash flow from assets for this project are an $80,000 initial investment and and the expected cash flows are $36,000 per vear for the next 3 years. Based on the IRR, should you accept or reject the project? Note: You have already calculated the WACC in the previous question.

The estimated market return is 13%, the risk free rate is 8%, and Bluefield's beta is 1.4. Bluefield's tax rate is 30 percent. Short Answer Toolbar navigation BIUS E = E E E E
