By outbidding its competitors, Turbo Image Processing (TIP), a defense contractor, has received a contract worth $7,300,000 to build navy flight simulators for U.S. Navy pilot training over two years. For some defense contracts, the U.S. government makes an advance payment when the contract is signed, but in this case, the government will make two progressive payments: $4,300,000 at the end of the first year and the $3.000,000 balance at the end of the second year. The expected cash outflows required in order to produce these simulators are estimated to be $1,000,000 now, $2.000,000 during the first year, and $4,320,000 during the second year. The expected net cash flows from this project are summarized as follows:
In normal situations, TIP would not even consider a marginal project such as this one in the first place. However, hoping that TIP can establish itself as a technology leader in the field. management felt that it was worth outbidding its competitors by providing the lowest…
You are considering developing an 18-hole championship golf course thatrequires an investment of $20,000,000. This investment cost includes the course development, club house, and golf carts. Once constructed, you expect the maintenance cost for the golf course to be $650,000 in the first year, $700,000 in the second year and continue to increase by $50,000 in subsequent years. The net revenue generated from selling food and beverage will be about 15% of greens fees paid by the players. The cart fee per player is $15, and 40,000 rounds of golf are expected per year. You will own and operate the course complex for 10 years and expect to sell it for $25,000,000. What is the greens fee per round that will provide a return on investment of 15%'? Assume that the green fee will be increased at an annual rate of 5%.

- Herbal Resources is a small but profitable producer of dietary supplements for pets. This is not a high-tech business, but Herbal's earnings have averaged around $2.3 million after tax, largely on the strength of its patented enzyme for making cats nonallergenic. The patent has eight years to run, and Herbal has been offered $2.9 million for the patent rights. Herbal's assets include $3.1 million of working capital and $7.7 million of property, plant, and equipment. The patent is not shown on Herbal's books. Suppose Herbal's cost of capital is 18%.

To achieve this, they will need to invest $53,000 in building renovations, including wiring. They will need to purchase equipment at a cost of $21,000 and make an initial investment of $1.7 million in electronic volumes, which will also require $1 million annually for maintenance. To evaluate this public project, an interest rate (i) of 8% and a planning horizon of 15 years will be used. At the end of that period, it is estimated that the building renovations will have a residual value equivalent to 30% of the original investment. The residual value of the equipment and other acquisitions will be negligible at the end of 10 years. It is estimated that the acquisition of this new system will lead to about 10,500 "visits" per year in the first year, increasing by 500 visits each year.

It is about to launch a new product, the 'Energy Buster', a unique air conditioning unit which is capable of providing unprecedented levels of air conditioning using a minimal amount of electricity. The technology used in the Energy Buster is unique so Ahlia Co has patented it so that no competitors can enter the market for two years. The company's development costs have been high and it is expected that the product will only have a five-year life cycle. Ahlia Co is now trying to ascertain the best pricing policy that they should adopt for the Energy Buster's launch onto the market. Demand is very responsive to price changes and research has established that for every $15 increase in price, demand would be expected to fall by 1,000 units. If the company sets the retail price at $735, only 1,000 units would be demanded. The costs of producing each air conditioning unit are as…arrow_forward
- A large stale university. currently facing a severe parking shortage on its campus, is considering constructing parking decks off-campus. A scheduled service composed of minibusses could pick up students at the off-campus parking deck and quickly transport them to various locations on campus. The university would charge a small fee for each shuttle ride, and the students could be quickly and economically transported to their classes. The funds raised by the shuttle would be used to pay for minibusses, which cost about $150,000 each. Each minibus has a 12-year service life with an estimated salvage value of $3.000. To operate each minibus.

The bank estimated that the loss from one of these incidents could be as much as $100 million, including losses due to interrupted service and customer relations. One project the bank is considering is the installation of an emergency power generator at its operations headquarters. The cost of the emergency generator is $800,000, and if it is installed, no losses from this type of incident will be incurred. However, if the generator is not installed, there is a 10% chance that a power outage will occur during the next year. If there is an outage, there is a .05 probability that the resulting losses will be very large, or approximately $80 million in lost earnings. Alternatively, it is estimated that there is a .95 probability of only slight losses of around $1 million.
