NPVs and IRRs for Mutually Exclusive Projects
Davis Industries must choose between a gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $21,000, whereas the gas-powered truck will cost $17,230. The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 11%. The life for both types of truck is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $6,100 per year, and those for the gas-powered truck will be $5,300 per year. Annual net cash flows include depreciation expenses. Calculate the NPV and IRR for each type of truck, and decide which to recommend. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the monetary values to the nearest dollar and percentage values to two decimal places.…

- You are the president of AMT Enterprises. You have the opportunity to expand your product line to include a new semi-conductor wafer fabrication line. In order to produce the new wafer, you must invest in a new production process. In addition to doing nothing, two mutually exclusive processes are currently available to produce the wafer. Should you produce this new wafer? In other words, which, if either, of the alternative processes should be chosen? Note: IRR for Alternative I = 15.7 %, and IRR for Alternative II = 15.6%. Assume that the capital investment for each alternative occurs at year 0 and that the annual revenues and expenses first occur at the end of year one. Use the incremental IRR method to justify your decision. Your company’s MARR is 15%.arrow_forwardAll parts are under one question and therefore can be answered in full per your policy. 4. Analysis of a replacement project At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment. The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company. Price Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following: • The new equipment will have a cost of $600,000, and it is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. • The old machine was purchased before the new tax law, so it is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year). • The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6).

Net cost to buy $arrow_forwardToll road investments are usually realized through Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects. Since these projects last for a long period of time, they are exposed to various risks. The successful delivery of BOT projects implies that these risks are efficiently mitigated. In order to alleviate project risks, the public partner may offer the private partner the possibility of abandoning the project and transferring it back to the public sector for a specific pre-determined price. In one such project, the public partner offers the private partner the possibility of abandoning the project within 4 years for the salvage value of $80 million. Use one of the binomial option pricing technique to value this option? Assume that the present value of future cash flows from the toll road investment is $100 million and it can go up or down once a year. The volatility is 30% per annum. The risk-free rate is 5%.arrow_forwardAdidas is evaluating a proposal for a new product. If they launch the product, they will use an existing facility in the production process, which they previously acquired for $4 million. They currently lease it to a third party, and they expect to continue to do so if they don't use it for the new product. They rent it out for $102,000 and they expect that to remain flat for the foreseeable future. The project requires immediate investment in CAPX of $1.3 million, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years for tax purposes. The project will end after eight years, at which time they expect to salvage some of the initital CAPX and sell it for $469,000. The project requires immediate working capital investments equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. After that, working capital will remain at 10% of the following year's expected sales. They expect sales to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years. Total…arrow_forward
