- A number of investment projects are under consideration at your company. You've calculated the cost of capital based on market values and rates, and analyzed the projects using IRR and NPV. Several projects are marginally acceptable. While watching the news last night you learned that most economists predict a rise in interest rates over the next year. Should you modify your analysis in light of this information? Why?arrow_forwardYou are considering a geographic expansion into the European market for Canopy Pharmaceuticals. Below are the incremental cash flows for the Canopy project for you to use in your analysis. Assume Canopy's marginal tax rate is 35%, their cost of capital is 15.7 %, and an expected growth rate of 5% after 2003. Calculate the NPV, IRR, Payback Period.

The plant will cost $100.0 million upfront. After that, it is expected to produce profits of $30.0 million at the end of every year. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 8.0%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR. Use the IRR to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged.arrow_forward
- Your company is considering a capital project that will require a net initial investment of $244,978. The project is expected to have a 7- year life and will generate an annual net cash inflow of $40,860. Using the present value tables, what is the internal rate of return?

The project would require an initial investment of $52,100.00, and then have an expected cash flow of $77,900.00 in 4 years. Project A has an internal rate of return of 9.31 percent. The weighted-average cost of capital for OmegaTech is 6.99 percent. The risk of the project is similar to the average risk of the company. Which one of the following assertions is true? The NPV that Omega Tech would compute for project A is less than or equal to -$11.16. The NPV that Omega Tech would compute for project A can not be computed from the information provided The NPV that Omega Tech would compute for project A is equal to greater than $0.00. The NPV that OmegaTech would compute for project A is greater than -$11.16 but less than $0.00.arrow_forwardYou are considering an investment in a clothes distributer.
