Fethe's Funny Hats is considering selling trademarked, orange-haired curly wigs for University of Tennessee football games. The purchase cost for a 2-year franchise to
sell the wigs is $20,000. If demand is good (40% probability), then the net cash flows will be $25,000 per year for 2 years. If demand is bad (60% probability), then
the net cash flows will be $5,000 per year for 2 years. Fethe's cost of capital is 10%.
a. What is the expected NPV of the project? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

b. If Fethe makes the investment today, then it will have the option to renew the franchise fee for 2 more years at the end of Year 2 for an additional payment
of $20,000. In this case, the cash flows that occurred in Years 1 and 2 will be repeated (so if demand was good in Years 1 and 2, it will continue to be good
in Years 3 and 4). Use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of the option. Assume the variance of the project's rate of return is 0.3667 and that the
risk-free rate…
Haslam Homes is considering designing and marketing a concrete, yurt-based pre-fabricated home to compete in the doomsday prepper market. Development will cost $1,000,000 and will take one year. If the yurts are popular (30% probability) the cash flows will be $500,000 per year for 5 years starting in Year 1. If the yurts are not a hit (70% probability) the cash flows will be $100,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the ENPV of the project. Haslam's cost of capital is 10%.

Arrowroot Ltd is considering whether to invest in a machine that produces soft drink bottles now or in one year’s time. The machine costs $2 million and the bottles will be ready for sale immediately after the machine is purchased. The machine is expected to produce 1 million bottles per year forever. Currently, the bottle can be sold for $0.4 each but next year the price will change. If there is a high demand, the price for one bottle will be $0.6. If the demand is normal, the price will be $0.3 per bottle. If the demand is low, the price will be $0.1 per bottle. The probability of high demand is 0.3, the probability of normal demand is 0.2 and the probability of low demand is 0.5. The price will remain at this new level forever. Assume no taxes and the company’s cost of capital is 10 percent per annum.
Should the company invest in the machine now or delay it by one year? Show all calculations.
What is the value of the option to delay?

- Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?arrow_forwardEach of the following scenarios is independent. All cash flows are after-tax cash flows. Required: 1.

The machine would cost $400,000 and has an estimated useful life of 10 years with a residual value of 50,000. Management estimates that the new machine will provide net annual cash flow of $60 000. Management also believes that the new machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other machine and will reduce downtime. Assume the discount rate is 10%, how much would the reduction in downtime have to be worth, in present value dollars, in order for this investment to be acceptable?
