Answer to Problem 12PS

The present value of payoffs is $16,875,000.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the present value of payoffs

Excel Spreadsheet:

PresentValueofPayoffs=[PayoffsYear0×Ratio]=[$18,000,000×93.75%]=$16,875,000

Therefore the present value of payoffs is $16,875,000.

To determine: The abandonment value.

Answer to Problem 12PS

The abandonment value is $1,936,448.60.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the gain value

The gain value is calculated if the demand is buoyant.

GainValue=[(PayoffsYear1PVofPayoffs)1]=[($22,500,000$16,875,000)1]=0.333333or33.33%

Therefore the gain value is 33.33%.

Determine the loss value

The loss value is calculated if the demand is sluggish.

LossValue=[(PayoffsYear1PVofPayoffs)1]=[($15,000,000$16,875,000)1]=0.11111or11.11%

Therefore the loss value is -11.11%.

Determine p

The value of put can be calculate using the risk neutral method, were p is identical to the probability of increase in the asset value.

rf=[(p×GainValue)+(1p)×LossValue]7%=[(p×33.33%)+((1p)×(11.11%))]p=0.408

Therefore p is 0.408.

Determine the abandonment value

If the demand is sluggish the payoffs will be $0 and if the demand is buoyant the payoffs is $3,500,000.

AbandonmentValue=[(p×PayoffsSluggish)+((1p)×PayoffsBuoyant)(1+InterestRate)]=[(0.408×$0)+((10.408)×($18,500,000$15,000,000))(1+7%)]=[$2,072,0001.07]=$1,936,448.60

Therefore the abandonment value is $1,936,448.60.

The Gilbert Instrument Corporation is considering replacing the wood steamer it currently uses to shape guitar sides. The steamer has 6 years of remaining life. If kept, the steamer will have depreciation expenses of $700 for 5 years and $350 for the sixth year. Its current book value is $3,850, and it can be sold on an Internet auction site for $4,440 at this time. If the old steamer is not replaced, it can be sold for $800 at the end of its useful life. Gilbert is considering purchasing the Side Steamer 3000, a higher-end steamer, which costs $12,300, and has an estimated useful life of 6 years with an estimated salvage value of $1,200. This steamer falls into the MACRS 5-years class, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The new steamer is faster and allows for an output expansion, so sales would rise by $2,000 per year; the new machine's much greater efficiency would reduce operating expenses by $1,800 per year. To support the…
St. Johns River Shipyards' welding machine is 15 years old, fully depreciated, and has no salvage value. However, even though it is old, it is still functional as originally designed and can be used for quite a while longer. A new welder will cost $181,500 and have an estimated life of 8 years with no salvage value. The new welder will be much more efficient, however, and this enhanced efficiency will increase earnings before depreciation from $28,000 to $78,500 per year. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the project cost of capital is 13%. What is the NPV if the firm replaces the old welder with the new one? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.
