By outbidding its competitors, Turbo Image Processing (TIP), a defense contractor, has received a contract worth $7,300,000 to build navy flight simulators for U.S. Navy pilot training over two years. For some defense contracts, the U.S. government makes an advance payment when the contract is signed, but in this case, the government will make two progressive payments: $4,300,000 at the end of the first year and the $3.000,000 balance at the end of the second year. The expected cash outflows required in order to produce these simulators are estimated to be $1,000,000 now, $2.000,000 during the first year, and $4,320,000 during the second year. The expected net cash flows from this project are summarized as follows:
In normal situations, TIP would not even consider a marginal project such as this one in the first place. However, hoping that TIP can establish itself as a technology leader in the field. management felt that it was worth outbidding its competitors by providing the lowest…
You have agreed to make investment in your friends agricultural farm. This would require an amount of $20,000 as initial investment on your part. Your friend promises you revenue (before expenses) of $3600 per year the first year and thereafter the revenue increases by $200 per year. Your share of the estimated annual expenses is $1000. You are planning to invest for six years. Your friend has made the commitment to buyout your share of the business at that time for $24000. You have decided to set a personal MARR of 15% per year. Judge the profitability of the investment project by using Future Worth (FW) method.
One of the international companies
intends to open a project to produce
solar energy in Mosul for a period of
8 years. The volume of investment
in the project is (1,800,000) dollars,
the annual revenues are estimated
at (400,000) dollars, and the annual
costs are (90,000) dollars. Calculate
the project's internal rate of return,
knowing that the discount rate is the
lowest (10%) and the highest (20%)
and whether the project is accepted
or rejected..

- As a prospective business owner in the waste management business, you have researched the waste management truck market and you are attracted by two similarly functional truck offers. An identical cash price of $550,000 for the ARSLAN truck and the HIDRO-MAX truck with two different monthly repayment schedules offered by the respective financiers. The repayment schedule for the ARSLAN truck requires a down payment of 10% while the repayment schedule for the HIDRO-MAX truck requires a down payment of 15%. If the repayment is over a period of 7 years at an annual loan rate of 6%, what would be the monthly repayment amount for both schedules? Assume that the monthly repayment starts 1 month after the mortgage contract is signed and the down payment made.

The 700 MHz signals can travel long distances and more easily penetrate walls and other obstacles. The acquisition cost is $300 million. In addition, because networks that operate in the 700 MHz range are less expensive to build than those in other portions of the spectrum, Ducks estimates annual costs of $24 million over the next 9 years and no salvage value. During the same period, the company expects to generate annual revenue of $40 million by offering television and video to mobile-phone users.

- Liam O’Kelly is 20 years old and is thinking about buying a term life insurance policy with his wife as the beneficiary. The quoted annual premium for Liam is $8.48 per thousand dollars of insurance coverage. Because Liam wants a $100,000 policy (which is 2.5 times his annual salary), the annual premium would be $848, with the first payment due immediately (i.e., at age 21). A friend of Liam’s suggests that the $848 annual premium should be deposited in a good mutual fund rather than in the insurance policy. “If the mutual fund earns 10% per year, you can become a millionaire by the time you retire at age 65,” the friend advises. Solve, a. Is the friend’s statement really true? b. Discuss the trade-off that Liam is making if he decides to invest his money in a mutual fund.arrow_forwardYou purchased a bond with a face value of $5,000 five years ago for $4,750.

- Halliford Corporation expects to have earnings this coming year of $3.325 per share. Halliford plans to retain all of its earnings for the next two years. Then, for the subsequent two years, the firm will retain 48% of its earnings. It will retain 20% of its earnings from that point onward. Each year, retained earnings will be invested in new projects with an expected return of 20.8% per year. Any earnings that are not retained will be paid out as dividends. Assume Halliford's share count remains constant and all earnings growth comes from the investment of retained earnings. If Halliford's equity cost of capital is 9.7%, what price would you estimate for Halliford stock? The stock price will be $.

Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $110,000, whereas the gas powered truck will cost $40,000. The required rate of return that applies to both investments is 14 percent. The life for both types of truck is estimated be 12 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $23,500 per year and those for gas-powered truck will be $10,000 per year. Calculate the NPV and IRR for each type of truck, and decide which to recommend.
