Introduction:
Capital Budgeting:
It refers to the long term investment decisions that has been taken by the top management of a company and that are irreversible in nature. These decisions require investment of large amount of the company’s cash.
It is a method under capital budgeting which includes the calculation of net present value of the project in which the company is investing. The calculation is done by calculating the difference between the value of
It refers to the rate of return that is computed by the company to make a decision regarding the selection of a project for investment. This rate provides the basis for selection of projects with lower cost of capital and rejection of project with higher cost of capital.

An electric utility is considering a new power plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be sold in the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would be legal, but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigation would cost $240 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $80 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $84 million. Unemployment in the area where the plant would be built is high, and the plant would provide about 350 good jobs. The risk-adjusted WACC is 17%.
a. Calculate the NPV and IRR with and without mitigation.
b. How should the environmental effects be dealt with when evaluating this project?
c. Should this project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do the mitigation? Why or why not?

- A LOINE CONS company is deciding to undertake a project. The project is quite profitable as it will generate net cash inflows of $20 million per year for 5 years. However, it will cause pollution to the nearby residents. The company can mitigate this pollution by investing additional 10 million at Year 0 but legally it is not compulsory for it to do so. Undertaking this project would cost $60 million without mitigation. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual cash inflows would be $22 million. The risk adjustedd weighted average cost of capital(WACC) is 12%. Calculate the Net present value and internal rate of return with and without mitigation. Shouldd the project be undertaken? If so,, should the firm do mitigation?arrow_forwardNew York City is evaluating the construction of a new train station to serve a new high-speed rail system. The Capital Projects Team is responsible for evaluating whether the project is economically acceptable. The Capital Projects Team estimates that the new train station will generate $1B in annual revenue, and provide $1B a year in cost savings. The new train line will cannibalize some of the existing revenues the City receives from its current train system. The value of this cannibalization is estimated at $500 MM a year. The new station's costs of Maintenance and Operation are anticipated to amount to be $250 MM per year. The initial investment required to design and build the train station is expected to be $15 B. New York City is considered to be a high credit and can borrow long-term in the capital markets at a rate of 6%.
