Basic NPV methods tell us that the value of a project today is NPV0. Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1. Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project?

If it chooses project A, ABC Telecom will have the opportunity to make a similar investment in three years. However, if it chooses project B, it will not have the opportunity to make a second investment. The following table lists the cash flows for these projects.

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, it will be depreciated on a straight-line basis, and there will be no salvage value. No change in net operating working capital would be required.

The facility will have a three-year useful life, and it will not have any salvage value at the end of the project’s life. If demand is strong, the facility will be able to generate annual cash flows of $255,000, but if demand turns out to be weak, the facility will generate annual cash flows of only $135,000.

- Would you accept a project where you had an initial investment of $10,000,000 but the NPV was only $10,000? Group of answer choices A. There is not enough information B.Yes, because you will make the required return each year and the NPV in additional to the required return. C. No, the NPV is too small for such a large initial investmentarrow_forwardNonearrow_forward1 Downside scenarios Consider a proposal to produce and market a new tennis racquet. The most likely outcome scenario for the project incl. Expected sales of 30,000 units per year, Unit price of $200, Variable cost per racquet of $120, Fixed cost of $1,200,000. The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $4 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a fnal value of zero. The firm´s tax rate is 30%, and the required rate of return is 12%. 1. What is the project NPV? However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Sales could fall 20% below expectations for the life of the project and, if that happens, the unit price would probably be only $150. The good news is that Öxed costs could be as low as $800,000, and total Variable costs1 would decline in proportion to sales. 2. What is NPV in the worst-case scenario?3. How else could you consider the downside scenario in your NPV calculation? (Answer…arrow_forward
