You are planning to produce a new action figure called "Nia." However, you are very uncertain about the demand for the product. If it is a hit, you will have net cash flows of $86 million per year for three years (starting next year [i.e., at t=1]). If it fails, you will only have net cash flows of $46 million per year for two years (also starting next year). There is an equal chance that it will be a hit or failure (probability = 50 percent). You will not know whether it is a hit or a failure until the first year's cash flows are in (i.e., at t= 1). You must spend $152 million immediately for equipment and the rights to produce the figure. If you can sell your equipment for $96 million once the first year's cash flows are received, calculate the value of the abandonment option. (The discount rate is 10 percent.) Multiple Choice O O O $0.00 -$5.15 $24.63 $19.48

You run a construction firm. You have just won a contract to build a government office complex. Building it will require an investment of $9.5 million today and $5.5 million in one year. The government will pay you $21.7 million in one year upon the building's completion. Suppose the interest rate is 10.3%. a. What is the NPV of this opportunity? b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today? www. a. What is the NPV of this opportunity? The NPV of the proposal is $ million. (Round to two decimal places.) b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today? (Select the best choice below.) O A. The firm can borrow $19.67 million today and pay it back with 10.3% interest using the $21.7 million it will receive from the government. B. The firm can borrow $15.0 million today and pay it back with 10.3% interest using the $21.7 million it will receive from the government. O C.

You are considering making a movie. The movie is expected to cost 10.6 million up front and take a year to produce. After that, it is expected to make $4.7 million in the year it is released and $1.8 million for the following four years. What is the payback period of this investment? If you require a payback period of two years, will you make the movie? Does the movie have positive NPV if the cost of capital is 10.9% ?
Al_Tech plc is considering investing in a new company, New_tech plc. It has estimated that the new tech company will cost £440,000. Cash flows from increased sales will be £160,000 in the first year. These cash flows will increase by 5% every year. Al_Tech plc estimates that New_tech plc will lose all its technological advantages in five years from now and will lose all its value. Assume that the initial cost is paid now, and all the revenues are received at the end of each year. The company requires a 12% p.a. return for such an investment. a) Calculate the NPV of the investment project. b) Calculate the profitability index and the discounted payback period. c) Should Al_Tech plc consider investing in New_tech plc? What can you say about the internal rate of return to that project? Explain. d) Explain why it is theoretically correct to assume that accepting a project with a positive NPV should increase the value of a company by the NPV of the project.
You are considering making a movie. The movie is expected to cost $10.1 million up front and take a year to produce. After that, it is expected to make $4.1 million in the year it is released and $1.9 million for the following four years. What is the payback period of this investment? If you require a payback period of two years, will you make the movie? Does the movie have positive NPV if the cost of capital is 10.9% 7 What is the payback period of this investment? The payback period is years. (Round to two decimal places)
(Calculating free cash flows) At present, Solartech Skateboards is considering expanding its product line to include gas-powered skateboards; however, it is questionable how well they will be received by skateboarders. Although you feel there is a 60 percent chance you will sell 8,000 of these per year for 10 years (after which time this project is expected to shut down because solar-powered skateboards will become more popular), you also recognize that there is a 20 percent chance that you will only sell 1,000 and also a 20 percent chance you will sell 18,000. The gas skateboards would sell for $110 each and have a variable cost of $35 each. Regardless of how many you sell, the annual fixed costs associated with production would be $120,000. In addition, there would be an initial expenditure of $1,000,000 associated with the purchase of new production equipment which will be depreciated using the bonus depreciation method in year 1. Because of the number of stores that will need…
Suppose you are considering building a factory that produces turbo jets. Price of a turbo jet right now is $200. Next year the price could go up to $220 or go down to $180 or stay at $200 with equal probabilities. The price then remains fixed for a long time. (This assumption makes this cash flow risky). This will be your revenue. Cost of factory is $300 and it can be built right away since you have infrastructure in place. WACC is 30%. Cost of debt is 10%. You have the option to wait one year and see whether the price goes up or down and then invest only if price is above $180? What is the NPV? 414.22 167.52 312.82 566.67

You must spend $140 million immediately for equipment and the rights to produce the figure. If you can sell your equipment for $90 million once the first year's cash flows are received, calculate the value of the abandonment option. (The discount rate is 10 percent.)

"Consider a $1310 investment that will produce perpetual cash flows. If the demand is high, the expected cash flows will be $161 per year. Otherwise, the expected cash flows will be $46 per year. The initial probabilities for high vs. low demand are 80%/20%, but after the first cash flow is realized, the firm will know with certainty whether the demand is high or low. At that time, the project can be abandoned with a terminal cash flow of $1259. The cost of capital is 5%. What is the NPV including the option to abandon?" A) "$1,649 " B) "$1,284" C) "$1,515 " D) "$1,426" E) "$1,620"

The NPV of a new video game, Petty Larceny 1, is -$1.5M after discounting all expected cash flows. However, if high demand in the market evolves, Petty Larceny 2 is a possible follow-on opportunity in two years. In Year 2 it will cost $10M to start Petty Larceny 2, which will produce a one-time cash flow of $12M in year 3. The firm’s cost of capital is 10% and the risk-free rate is 5%. Estimated volatility for the project is 30%. What is the Petty Larceny 1 NPV with the follow-on investment option? Group of answer choices -$1.50 M $0.00 M $0.87 M $2.37 M
