Summary Introduction
Case Summary:
LS Inc wants to acquire new market data and quotation system for its new home office. The system receives the information from online services and display the data onscreen or may save it for later retrieval and system also allow customers to make call and can convey current quotes. Cost of the equipment is $ 1,000,000 and if the company wants to purchase the equipment, they can borrow a loan at an interest rate of 10%.
Useful life of equipment is 6 years and it comes under 3 years MARCS class or it can purchase a contract of 4 years where $20,000 have to be paid at the beginning of each year and it will be sold after 4 years and the residual value is estimated at $200,000. They thought of opting for leasing which will cost $260,000 and includes maintenance cost. Federal plus state tax is 40%.
To discuss: The way the increased uncertainty of the residual value affect the LS Inc lease versus purchase decision.

- Which of the following statements correctly describe how the present value of a future expected cash flow may vary with different factors? Group of answer choices A. More than one of the other options are correct. B. As the expected loss of purchasing power due to inflation increases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of a future expected cash flow will decrease. C. As the period of time we have to wait until we receive a future expected cash flow decreases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of the cash flow will decrease. D. As the risk associated with a future expected cash flow increases, then, holding all else constant, the present value of the cash flow will increase.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is most FALSE? A. If a project with normal cash flows has a positive NPV, it will definitely have an MIRR greater than the cost of capital. B. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR that is greater than the cost of capital, then taking on that project would decrease the value of the firm. C. If a project has normal cash flows, then the MIRR has to be between k and IRR if the project has positive interim cash flows (cash flows between t=0 and the end of the project). D. If a project with normal cash flows does not have any interim cash flows, the project's IRR will equal the project's MIRR. E. Multiple IRRS can exist for a project if the project has nonnormal cash flows. OA OB OCarrow_forwardCosmos Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below.

- If a firm cannot measure a potential project’s risk with precision, should it abandonthe project? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardLasik Vision Inc. recently analyzed the project whose cash flows are shown below. However, before Lasik decided to accept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve took actions that changed interest rates and therefore the firm's WACC. The Fed's action did not affect the forecasted cash flows. By how much did the change in the WACC affect the project's forecasted NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative, in which case it should be rejected.

The NPV and IRR always provide the same accept/reject recommendation for a project with conventional cash flows. IRR provides information in a form that is useful to managers. IRR does not consider the scale of the project. O The IRR is only appropriate when you have unconventional cash flows. It is possible to compute multiple IRRS for a single project.arrow_forward
