- Need help with a and b. Also how high can the discount rate be before you would reject the project?arrow_forwardou are considering setting up a firm to produce widgets. The cost of the project is $30 today. The demand for widgets is uncertain. It can be either high or low with equal probability. When the demand is high, cash flows in t = 1 are $66 and when the demand is low, cash flows in t = 1 are $34. The discount rate is 10%. What is the NPV of the project? Suppose you can commission a study that tells you whether the demand for widgets will be high or low. The study takes one year to complete. That is, if you commission the study you must decide in t = 1 whether to invest. If you invest the cash flows will arrive in t = 2. What is the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the study today?arrow_forwardYou are considering an investment manufacturing cocoa powder. This investment needs $185,000 today and expects to repay you $200,000 in a year from now. What is the IRR of this investment opportunity? Given the riskiness of the investment opportunity, your discount rate is 11%. What does the IRR rule say about whether you should invest? a. The IRR is 7.5%. The IRR rule says that you should not invest. b. The IRR is 8.11%. The IRR rule says that you should not invest. c. The IRR is 1.2%. The IRR rule says that you should not invest. d. The IRR is 16.8%.

- 10) Which of the following two options for purchasing an equipment has a lower net present cost? Assume a discount rate of 0.05. (Hint: Use Excel for easier calculations.) a. Initial payment of $2000, then $550 monthly for4 months. b. Initial payment of $3000, then $200 monthly for 5 months. 11) Why should a higher discount rate be applied to an investment with a higher risk?arrow_forwardNet Present Value Use Exhibit 12B.1 and Exhibit 12B.2 to locate the present value of an annuity of $1, which is the amount to be multiplied times the future annual cash flow amount. Each of the following scenarios is independent. Assume that all cash flows are after-tax cash flows. a. Campbell Manufacturing is considering the purchase of a new welding system. The cash benefits will be $480,000 per year. The system costs $1,450,000 and will last 10 years. b. Evee Cardenas is interested in investing in a women's specialty shop. The cost of the investment is $180,000. She estimates that the return from owning her own shop will be $45,000 per year. She estimates that the shop will have a useful life of 6 years. c. Barker Company calculated the NPV of a project and found it to be $63,900. The project's life was estimated to be 8 years. The required rate of return used for the NPV calculation was 10%. The project was expected to produce annual after-tax cash flows of $135,000. Required: 1.…arrow_forwardArray Solutions requires a 14.0% return on their projects. Analysis shows that even though they have been earning the desired 14.0%, their real return appears to be only 10.0% when they look at what they can buy with their returns. a.

- b) Given an actual demand of 74, a previous forecast of 76, and an alpha of 0.28, what would the forecast for the next period be using simple exponential smoothing? - 4 You are making a make-or-buy decision about an item that you sell for $12. If you outsource this item, it will cost you $5 each. If you make the item, you have two choices: a) buy a new machine for $135,000 and have a unit cost of $4.25 or b) buy an older model machine for $100,000 and the unit cost is $4.75 each. There is a 45% chance you will sell 75,000 units, and a 55% change you will sell 100,000 unites. a) Draw the decision tree appropriate to the alternatives and outcomes stated b) Calculate the EMV for all three options. Which is the best choice?arrow_forwardOffice of Business Administration tells you that Villa Apartment has a project to expand the current operations and the estimated internal rate of return is 12.2%. The Villa Apartment's WACC is 11.8%. Based on all of these, you can safely conclude the: O appropriate discount rate for the project is between 11.8% and 12.2%. O expansion should be undertaken as it has a positive net present value. O project has slightly more risk than the firm's current operations. O project will have a lower debt-equity ratio than the firm's current operations.arrow_forwardAdam Andler Corp is analyzing an average-risk project, and the following data have been developed. Unit sales will be constant, but the sales price should increase with inflation. Fixed costs will also be constant, but variable costs should rise with inflation. The project should last for 3 years. This is just one of many projects for the firm, so any losses on this project can be used to offset gains on other firm projects. What is the project's expected NPV? Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. WACC or cost of capital Net investment cost (depreciable basis) The salvage value of its equipment No other fixed assets will be acquired for following years The company will require an increase in net working capital at the $10,000 beginning The company will liquidate all working capital at the end of the project -10,000 Units sold (constant through years) 60,000 $30.00 $50,000 $17.00 Average price per unit, Year 1 Fixed operating…arrow_forward
