Explanation of Solution
Determine the present value of payoffs
Excel Spreadsheet:
Therefore, the present value of payoffs is $16,875,000.
b.
To determine: The abandonment value.
b.
Answer to Problem 17PS
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.
Therefore the gain value is 33.33%.
Determine the loss value
The loss value is calculated if the demand is sluggish.
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.
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.
Therefore, the abandonment value is $1,936,448.60.

- You have been asked to evaluate two alternatives, X and Y, that may increase plant capacity for manufacturing high-pressure hydraulic hoses. The parameters associated with each alternative have been estimated. Which one should be selected on the basis of a present worth comparison at an interest rate of 10% per year? Why is yours the correct choice? Alternative First Cost Maintenance cost, per Year Salvage Value Life X $-25,000 $-8000 $1,000 5 years Y $-55,000 $-2000 $2,000 5 years and that of alternative Y is $1 The present worth of alternative X is $.

Winslow, Inc. is considering opening a new plant to produce snow skis. The initial cost of the project is $1.8 million. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to a zero-book value over the 10-year life of the project. The net income of the project is expected to be a loss of $250,000 a year for the first four years. The net income is projected at $50,000, $230,000, $390,000, $480,000, $750,000, and $800,000 for years 5 through 10, respectively. What is the average accounting return on this project?arrow_forward
- 10.3 You have been asked to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new clinical laboratory test system. The system’s price is $50,000, and it will cost another $10,000 for transportation and installation. The system is expected to be sold after three years because the laboratory is being moved at that time. The best estimate of the system’s salvage value after three years is $20,000. The system will have no impact on volume or reimbursement (and hence revenues), but it is expected to save $20,000 per year in operating costs. The not-for-profit business’s corporate cost of capital is 10 percent, and the standard risk adjustment is 4 percentage points. What is the project’s net investment outlay at time 0? What are the project’s operating cash flows in years 1, 2, and 3? What is the terminal cash flow at the end of year 3? If the project has average risk, is it expected to be profitable? What if the project is judged to have lower-than-average risk? Higher-than average risk?arrow_forwardA Company is considering two alternatives with regards to an equipment which it needs.
