You are a financial analyst for a company that is considering a new project. If the project is accepted, it will use 40% of a storage facility that the company already owns but currently does not use fully. The project is expected to last 10 years, and the discount rate is 10%. You research the possibilities and find that the entire storage facility can be sold for $100,000 and a smaller facility acquired for $ 40,000. The book value of the existing facility is $60,000, and both the existing and the new facilities (if it is acquired) would be depreciated straight line over 10 years. The ordinary tax rate is 40%, and the capital gains rate is 25%. What is the opportunity cost, if any, of using the storage capacity?
You work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last for 20 years. You expect that the drug will produce cash flows of $10 million in its first year and that this amount will grow at a rate of 3% per year for the following 19 years. Once the patent expires, other pharmaceutical companies will be able to produce generic equivalents of your drug and competition will drive any future profits to zero. If the interest rate is 10% per year, then the present value of producing this drug is closest to:
Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new DVDR. If the DVDR is successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $24 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $8.5 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 50 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.2 million to test market the DVDR. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 80 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. Calculate the NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.) Should the firm conduct test marketing? multiple choice No Yes
Amazon is considering using high capacity drones that would make its product deliveries more efficient. For this project, $113,000 would need to be spent right away to buy the required fleet of drones. The drones will be losing their economic value in equal amount each year, fully over their 5-year economic lives. Once the drones' economic life is over, they would all be sold for $8,500 selling price to a new owner, and Amazon would then immediately purchase the same but brand-new drones for the same price as what it paid for the initial fleet of drones. When those drones' life is over, they would again be sold and, again, brand-new ones would be purchased - all for the same prices as for the initial drones, and so on, over and over. Additional information: • Amazon expects $9,200 in annual operating costs. • All future cash flows are year-end cash flows. ● Amazon pays 25 percent tax rate on all taxable income. Amazon requires an annual discount rate of 9 percent, and the rate is not…
5 ) An office building is currently for sale, and you are thinking of purchasing it. From your extensive market research and knowledge, you know the net operating income for this year is $250,000. You expect the net operating income will grow by 5% in the first five years, 3% in the subsequent five years, and 1.5% for every year after. If you are considering a 15- year investment window and desire a 20% rate of return, how much should you pay for the building
You are thinking about investing $4,690 in your friend's landscaping business. Even though you know the investment is risky and you can't be sure you expect your investment to be worth $5,666 next year. You notice that the rate for one-year Treasury bills is 1%. However, you feel that other investments of equal risk to your friend's landscape business offer an expected return of 9% for the year. What should you do?
Your friend in mechanical engineering has invented a money machine. The main drawback of the machine is that it is slow. It takes one year to manufacture $800. However, once built, the machine will last forever and will require no maintenance. The machine can be built immediately, but it will cost $8,000 to build. Your friend wants to know if he should invest the money to construct it. If the interest rate is 4.0% per year, what should your friend do? The NPV of the machine is $ What should your friend do? (Round to the nearest cent.) (Select the best choice below.) O A. Accept the machine because the NPV is equal to or greater than $0. O B. Reject the machine because the NPV is less than $0. O C. Reject the machine because the NPV is equal to or greater than $0. O D. Accept the machine because the NPV is equal to or less than $0. ..
You are negotiating the rights to mine a gold field for the next 30 years. The initial investment, all the equipment and the operating license, would cost you a million dollars upfront. Then you think you can mine 400 ounces of gold a year. An ounce is currently trading at $ 200 and you expect the price of gold to grow 4% per year. Your discount rate is 11%. Calculate NPV of this project. Based on these elements, would you launch the project? With a 12% capital requirement, is your decision changed?
aspian Sea Drinks is considering buying the J-Mix 2000. It will allow them to make and sell more product. The machine cost $1.74 million and create incremental cash flows of $615,148.00 each year for the next five years. The cost of capital is 8.23%. What is the net present value of the J-Mix 2000?
You work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last 17 years. You expect that the drug's profits will be $1 million in its first year and that this amount will grow at a rate of 2% per year for the next 17 years. Once the patent expires, other pharmaceutical companies will be able to produce the same drug and competition will likely drive profits to zero, What is the present value of the new drug if the interest rate is 8% per year? The present value of the new drug is 5 million (Round to three decimal places.)
You own a lot in Key West, Florida, that is currently unused. Similar lots have recently sold for $1.35 million. Over the past five years, the price of land in the area has increased 7 percent per year, with an annual standard deviation of 35 percent. You have approached a buyer and would like the option to sell the land in the next 12 months for $1.6 million. The risk-free rate of interest is 5 percent per year, compounded continuously. What is the price of the put option necessary to guarantee your sales price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Price of put option
a) Kevin Chemicals has a new pharmaceutical project which requires an investment of $12 million over one year after which there is a 25% chance of aborting at zero extra cost and an 75% chance of further development over three years at a cost of a further $25 million. At this point you estimate a 50% chance of making net profit of $90 million, a 40% chance of making a net profit of $60 million and a 10% chance of making only $20 million. Your discount rate is 6%. Calculate the NPV given the assumptions in the question. Should you go ahead?
