Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The initial investment for the project is $83,600,000 and it creates an annual cash inflow of $18,800,000 for 12 years. The project NPV is $66,000,000 and the IRR is 20%.

It is given that the IRR must be less than 20%. However, it is given as 20%. Thus, the NPV will become zero.

Hence, Company S should discount the cash flows at less than 20%, as the NPV is positive.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The initial investment for the project is $83,600,000 and it generates an annual cash inflow of $18,800,000 for 12 years. The project NPV is $66,000,000 and the IRR is 20%.

 Explanation:

When the initial investment I0, annual cash flow (AC), rate of interest r, and the time period n is given NPV can be calculated using the below equation:

NPV=AC((1+r)n1)r(1+r)nI0

By trial and error method let us assume the cost of capital to be 0.07.

NPV=18,800,000(((1+0.07)121)0.07(1+0.07)12)83,600,000=(18,800,000×7.942686)83,600,000=149,322,502.483,600,000=65,722,502.38

When substituting 11%, NPV is $65,722,502.38. The NPV is nearly equal to the given NPV $66,000,000. Thus, cost of capital of the firm is 7% (approximately).

Who Has the Money—The Democrat or The Republican? Ethical dilemma: Sunflower Manufacturing has applied for a $10 million working capital loan at The Democrat Federal Bank (known as The Democrat). But the person who is evaluating the loan application, Sheli, has determined that the bank should lend the company only $2 million. Sheli’s analysis of Sunflower suggests that the company does not have the financial strength to support the higher loan. However, if Sunflower is not granted the loan for the requested amount, the company might take its banking business to a competitor of The Democrat. Also, The Democrat is having financial difficulties that might result in future layoffs. Sheli might be affected by the bank’s layoffs if her division does not meet its quota of loans. As a result, it might be in her best interest to grant Sunflower the loan it requested even though her analysis suggests that such an action is not rational. Discussion questions: What is the ethical dilemma?  Do you…
