I am considering a geographic expansion into the European market for Canopy Pharmaceuticals. Below are the incremental cash flows for the Canopy project for you to use in your analysis. Assume Canopy's marginal tax rate is 35%, their cost of capital is 15.7 % and an expected growth rate of 5% after 2003.
Calculate the free cash flows for 1998 – 2003.
Calculate the terminal value of the Canopy project in 2003 and the adjusted free cash flow value for 2003.
Calculate the NPV, the IRR and the payback period for the Canopy project and recommend whether Canopy should go forward with the expansion project or not.
An automobile manufacturing company in Country X is considering the construction and operation of a large plant on the eastern seaboard of the United States. Their MARR = 20% per year on a before-tax basis. (This is a market rate relative to their currency in Country X.) The study period used by the company for this type of investment is 10 years. Additional information is provided as follows: •The currency in Country X is the Z Kron. • It is estimated that the U.S. dollar will become weaker relative to the Z-Kron during the next 10 years. Specifically, the dollar is estimated to be devalued at an average rate of 2.2% per year. • The present exchange rate is 92 Z-Krons per U.S. dollar. • The estimated before-tax net cash flow (in U.S. dollars) is as follows: Based on a before-tax analysis, will this project meet the company’s economic decision criterion?

What is the regular payback period for each of the projects? b. What is the discounted payback period for each of the projects? c. If the two projects are independent and the cost of capital is 10%, which project or projects should the firm undertake? d. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 5%, which project should the firm undertake? e.

Different design alternatives are being considered. The estimated after-tax cash flow (ATCF) in actual dollars for one alternative is shown in column 2 of the shown Table. If the general price inflation rate (f ) is estimated to be 5.2% per year during the eight-year analysis period, what is the real-dollar ATCF that is equivalent to the actual-dollar ATCF?

- Suppose the multinational Milton Asset Extraction (MAX) is considering an overseas project in a country with substantial political risk. MAX predicts that the project will yield USD100 million each year for two years. The initial cost of the project is USD145 million. In any given year there is a 13% chance that the project will be expropriated by the host country’s government. The discount rate for the project is 8%. Calculate the expected net presentarrow_forwardShenzhen Industries is preparing to invest in the U.S. There are two potential projects that are believed to create positive returns for the company. The initial capitals for both projects are estimated at USD 2,000,000. Unfortunately, due to budget constraint, Shenzhen Industries has to drop one of the projects. The following table presents the estimated discount rates and after-tax future cash flows of each project for 5 consecutive years. Choose the most feasible project for the company by using the Net Present Value (NPV) approach.

The money cash flows receivable from sales will depend on the specific inflation rate for Jireh property. This is anticipated to be 4% per annum. Cash outflows consist of four elements: labour, materials, overheads, and machinery maintenance. Labour costs are expected to increase by 5% per annum, materials by 3%, overheads by 4%, and machinery maintenance by 1%. Jireh’s requires a real rate of return of 16% on projects of this risk class, and anticipates the general rate of inflation to be 2% per annum over the 3-year life of the project.

- In year 1, what revenue should Northeast Bottlers use in its analysis of the Boston project, which involves expanding into Boston, if today is time 0 and sales in Boston would be $200000; sales in New York would be $20000 lower with the Boston project than without it; and sales in Philly would be $20000 higher with the Boston project than without it.arrow_forwardMost economies have a goal of maximizing the average consumption per period. Assume that during each year, an economy saves the same (to be determined) percentage S of its production. During a year in which the beginning capital level is K, a quantity K1y2 of capital is produced. If the economy saves a percentage S of its capital, then during the current year it consumes (1 2 S)K units of capital and, through savings, adds (SK) 1y2 units of capital. Also, during any year, 10% of all capital present at the beginning of the year depreciates or wears out. a. What annual savings percentage S maximizes the long-run average consumption level? Assume that year 50 represents the long run, so that the objective is the consumption level in year 50. You can assume the initial capital is 1 (for some appropriate measurement unit). b. Use SolverTable to see how the optimal value of S depends on the annual depreciation rate.arrow_forwardFinally, assume that the new product line isexpected to decrease sales of the firm’s otherlines by $50,000 per year.
