You are considering acquiring a firm that you believe will generate cash flows of $100,000 per year for 10 years, after which you are expecting to sell it for $150,000. You will only use equity financing for this project. The beta of the firm is believed to be .75. Of course, you know these cash flows are uncertain. All these cash flows are subject to a 25% corporate tax rate.
a) How much is the firm’s worth if the risk-free rate is 5% and the expected market return is 12%? Show your work.
b) If the actual beta of the firm turns out to be .50, by how much will you have valued the firm incorrectly?
c) If it turns out that you over-projected the cash flows by 2%, by how much will you have valued the firm incorrectly?

- Let's try a more complex Net Present Value (NPV) question. Say, today (Year 0), a small business invests $1,000 to build a small factory. In one year (Year 1), the Cash Flow from this factory is $2,000. Say, the Cash Flow grows 5% (Growth Rate) in the second year (Year 2) to $2,100. The discount rate is 10%. What is the Net Present Value? Group of answer choices $1,735.54 $2,553.72 $3,553.72arrow_forwardEach 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.
