You are considering a proposal to produce and market a new sluffing machine. The most likely outcomes for the project are as follows:
Expected sales: 30,000 units per year
Unit price: $50
Variable cost: $30
Fixed cost: $300,000
The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $1 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project
life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the required rate of return is 12%.
However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. In one scenario a sharp rise in the dollar could cause sales
to fall 30% below expectations for the life of the project and, if that happens, the unit price would probably be only $40. The good
news is that fixed costs could be as low as $200,000, and variable costs would decline in proportion to sales.
a. What is project NPV if all variables are as expected?

- Two new software projects are proposed to a young, start-up company. The Delta project will cost $150,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $40,000. The Echo project will cost $200,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $50,000. The company is very concerned about their cash flow. Using the payback period, which project is better from a cash flow standpoint? Why? Present the payback period for each project. Use this formula: Payback period = Investment/Annual Savingsarrow_forwardSuppose you are considering building a factory that produces turbo jets. Price of a turbo jet right now is $200. Next year the price could go up to $220 or go down to $180 or stay at $200 with equal probabilities. The price then remains fixed for a long time. (This assumption makes this cash flow risky). This will be your revenue. Cost of factory is $300 and it can be built right away since you have infrastructure in place. WACC is 30%. Cost of debt is 10%. You have the option to wait one year and see whether the price goes up or down and then invest only if price is above $180?

At an interest rate of 10% per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of the project? Find the AW value using (a) tabulated factors, (b) calculator functions, and (c) a spreadsheet. Which method did you find the easiest to use?arrow_forwardWebmasters.com has developed a powerful new server that would be used for corporations' Internet activities. It would cost $10 million at Year 0 to buy the equipment necessary to manufacture the server. The project would require net working capital at the beginning of each year in an amount equal to 10% of the year's projected sales; for example, NWC = 10% (Sales). The servers would sell for $24,000 per unit, and Webmasters believes that variable costs would amount to $17,500 per unit. After Year 1, the sales price and variable costs will increase at the inflation rate of 3%. The company's nonvariable costs would be $1 million at Year 1 and would increase with inflation. The server project would have a life of 4 years. If the project is undertaken, it must be continued for the entire 4 years. Also, the project's returns are expected to be highly correlated with returns on the firm's other assets. The firm believes it could sell 1,000 units per year.
