Develop one spreadsheet that displays the following: external rate of return using both the ROIC method with ir = 30% per year, and the modified ROR approach with ir = 30% and ib = 10% per year; and the unique or multiple internal rate of return value(s) indicated by the two multiple-root sign tests.arrow_forwardHere, we want to work through a proforma income statement to determine the cash flows from the project. Below are some estimates that the marketing department has determined. Other assumptions necessary for completing the proforma income statement can be found by looking at some of the historical average values in Johnson & Johnson’s financial statements. Suppose Johnson & Johnson (ticker symbol - jnj) has decided to introduce a new heart stent, the Heart Flow. Before they launched the Heart Flow, they analyzed it to see if it would be a desirable investment. The company estimated that it would sell 950,000 Heart Flow’s per year at a price of $75,000 for the next six years. After the first year of sales, the quantity sold will increase by 2% per year for the remaining life of the project.The initial capital outlay is determined to be $15 billion and a $2.0 billion outlay in net working capital (NWC) would also be required.
