You are considering opening a new plant. The plant will cost $101.3 million up front and will take one year to build. After that it is expected to produce profits of $30.5 million at the end
of every year of production. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 8.6%. Should you make
the investment? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged.
The NPV of the project will be $ 225.3 million. (Round to one decimal place.)
You should
make the investment. (Select from the drop-down menu.)
The IRR is
%. (Round to two decimal places.)

You have been asked to forecast the additional funds needed (AFN) for a firm, which is planning its operation for the coming year. The firm is operating at full capacity. Data for use in the forecast are shown below. However, the CEO is concerned about the impact of a change in the payout ratio from the 10% that was used in the past to 50%, which the firm's investment bankers have recommended. Based on the AFN equation, by how much would the AFN for the coming year change if the firm increased the payout from 10% to the new and higher level? All euros are in millions.
Last year's sales = S0
€300.0
Last year's accounts payable
€50.0
Sales growth rate = g
40%
Last year's notes payable
€15.0
Last year's total assets = A0*
€500.0
Last year's accruals
€20.0
Last year's profit margin = PM
20.0%
Initial payout ratio
10.0%
AFN = (A0*/S0)DS - (L0*/S0)DS - Profit margin ´ S1 ´ (1 -Payout)

- AMH Inc. currently sells 1,148 Class A motor homes, 2,751 Class C motor homes, and 108,438 pop- up trailers yearly. AMH is considering adding a mid-range camper and expects to sell 1,783 if launched. However, if the new camper is added, AMH expects that its Class A sales will decline to 656 units while the Class C campers will decline to 1,750. The sales of pop-ups will not be affected. Class A motor homes sell each for an average of $115,324. Class C homes are priced at $27,383, and the pop-ups sell each for $4,678. The new mid-range camper will sell for $46,299.

- You have just won the lottery. The state offers you an amortized payout of $200,000 at the end of each year for 30 years. The payout is taxable and the tax rate is 60%. You do not expect the government (who pays the payout) to go bankrupt. The risk-free rate is 9% per year and the total expected market return is 17%.

The project would require a $4 million investment outlay today The after-tax cash flows would depend on consumers’ demand. There is a 30% chance that demand will be good, and the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2 million at the end of each year for the next 3 years. There is a 70% chance that demand will be poor, and the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $1 million at the end of each year for the next 3 years. The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 12%. - The firm will know whether the project is success or not after receiving first year's cash flows from normal operating.. - After receiving the first year's cash flows (no matter what receive $1M or $2M in the first year), the firm will have the option to abandon the project. - If the firm decides to abandon the project, the company will no longer…arrow_forward
- You are requested to pick an implementation technology for your embedded product to maximize the profit. You have a competitor that will release a similar product 25 weeks from today. If the maximum expected product lifetime in the market is 50 weeks and the projected maximum number of sold units/week by the market leader is 1M units. Assume that the price is constant throughout the product lifetime ($50 USD).

You can renew your contract for another ten years and receive a payment of $130 per acre each year, but you wonder if it would be more profitable to put it into hay production and have it custom farmed. Your expected yield if you grow hay is five tons per acre, and the long-run expected selling price is $100 per ton. Fertilizer costs of $160 per acre each year would be incurred if hay is produced. Other variable costs of production would be $30 per acre each year. You can hire a custom operator to harvest and store the hay crop for you for $30 per ton. If you take the land out of the CRP program, you will no longer have to spend $800 per year to control weeds, but you will give up the $130 per acre annual payment from the USDA. What would your overall net change in profit be if you implemented this change? a. $3,800 b. $5,800 c. $3,000 d. $47,000arrow_forwardAn aggressive investment in Industry 4.0 next-generation technology has the potential to save your company $7M if it is very successful, or $3M if it is moderately successful, but it will cost $2M if it fails.
