Your company is considering funding two projects. Project A will cost the company $720,000, and Project B will cost $600,000. For Project A, they expect an estimated cash flow of $125,000 per year. For Project B, they expect an estimated cash flow of $180,000 per year. Senior Management has stated that the project that has been chosen must yield a 20% rate of return. The project life cannot exceed five years. The inflation rate is expected to be 2% For Project A and Project B, what would have to be the minimum discount rate to ensure our company would not lose any money based on the requirements set by senior leadership?

Keuka Corporation is considering a project that costs $1 million and will produce benefits for 5 years. The first year cash inflow can be rather accurately estimated at $240,000, measured in today's dollars. If the actual first-through fifth-year cash flows are assumed to be the same size ($240,000), what would the NPV of the investment be if the appropriate discount rate is 15% ? Round to the nearest whole number. If the answer is negative, put your answer in parentheses. NPV = S
You are evaluating a project that will cost $500,000 but is expected to produce cash flows of $125,000 per year for 10 years, with the first cash flow in one year. Your cost of capital is 11% and your company's preferred payback period is three years or less. What is the payback period of this project? The payback period is ____ years. (Round to two decimal places)
Your firm is considering a project that requires in investment of $156,000 today. It is projected to pay $47,000 at the end of the year and at the end of the next two years after that (i.e., the cash flows at t = 1, 2, and 3 are all $47,000). Four years from today, the project is projected to pay $76,000. If the appropriate discount rate to value this project is 12% per year, what is the NPV ? Round and express your answer to the nearest whole dollar (i.e., nearest integer).
Turner Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $1,530,000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $320,000 the first year, $265,000 the second year, and $230,000 each year thereafter for eight years. The investment has no residual value. Compute the payback period. First enter the formula, then calculate the payback period. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Kingston, Inc. management is considering purchasing a new machine at a cost of $4,150,315. They expect this equipment to produce cash flows of $756,424, $834,614, $932,657, $1,071,731, $1,298,352, and $1,243,375 over the next six years. If the appropriate discount rate is 15 percent, what is the NPV of this investment? (Enter negative amounts using negative sign e.g. -45.25. Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.) The NPV is $ _____________
The company you work for is considering a new product line that is projected to have the net cash flows below (in $1000). The values are in future dollars which have been inflated by 5% per year. The plant manager isn’t sure about how the present worth of the cash flows should be calculated, so he asked you to do it two ways over the 4-year planning horizon: (1) using an inflation-adjusted rate of 20% per year, and (2) converting all of the cash flows to current-value dollars and using a real interest rate. You said both ways will provide the same answer, but he asked you to show him the calculations. Prepare the present worth computations by methods (1) and (2).
XYZ is considering an investment which will cost $259,000. The investment produces no cash flows for the first year. In the second year, the cash inflow is $58,000. This inflow will increase to $150,000 and then $200,000 for the following two years before ceasing permanently. The firm requires a 14 percent rate of return and has a required discounted payback period of three years. What is the discounted payback of this project and should the company accept this project?
galbraith co. is considering a four-year project that will require an initial investment of $12,000. the base-case cash flows for this project are projected to be $12,000 per year. the best-case cash flows are projected to be $19,000 per year, and the worst-case cash flows are projected to be –$3,000 per year. the company’s analysts have estimated that there is a 50% probability that the project will generate the base-case cash flows. the analysts also think that there is a 25% probability of the project generating the best-case cash flows and a 25% probability of the project generating the worst-case cash flows. what would be the expected net present value (npv) of this project if the project’s cost of capital is 11%?
You are responsible to manage an IS project with a 4-year horizon. The annal cost of the project is estimated at $40,000 per year, and a one-time costs of $120,000. The annual monetary benefit of the project is estimated at $96,000 per year with a discount rate of 6 percent. a. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. b. Perform a break-even analysis (BEA). At what year does break-even occur?
We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 8,800 units per year at $191 net cash flow apiece (including CCA) for the next 16 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $191 × 8,800 = $1,680,800. The relevant discount rate is 10%, and the initial investment required is $5,590,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,550 units if the first year is a success a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) NPV $ b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $2,846,000. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) The value…
General Forge and Foundry Co. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $40,000. If market demand is strong, General Forge and Foundry Co. thinks that the project will generate cash flows of $29,500 per year. However, if market demand is weak, the company believes that the project will generate cash flows of only $1,750 per year. The company 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 10%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project? -$914 -$972 -$1,143 -$1,257
Galbraith Co. is considering a four-year project that will require an initial investment of $9,000. The base-case cash flows for this project are projected to be $15,000 per year.

The company’s analysts have estimated that there is a 50% probability that the project will generate the base-case cash flows. The analysts also think that there is a 25% probability of the project generating the best-case cash flows and a 25% probability of the project generating the worst-case cash flows. What would be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project if the project’s cost of capital is 11%? $24,135 $36,203 $30,169 $25,644
