a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The IRR of the investment.

Introduction:

IRR helps to make capital-budget decisions. IRR relies on the cash inflows and outflows of the project, instead of external data. The project should be accepted if the IRR of the project exceeds a hurdle rate.

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The NPV of Company F when the cost of capital is 12%.

Introduction:

IRR helps to make capital-budget decisions. IRR relies on the cash inflows and outflows of the project, instead of external data. The project should be accepted if the IRR of the project exceeds a hurdle rate.

Facebook is considering two proposals to overhaul its network infrastructure. They have received two bids. The first bid from Huawei will require a $24 million upfront investment and will generate $20 million in savings for Facebook each year for the next 3 years. The second bid from Cisco requires a $90 million upfront investment and will generate $60 million in savings each year for the next 3 years. a. What is the IRR for Facebook associated with each bid? b. If the cost of capital for each investment is 15%, what is the net present value (NPV) for Facebook of each bid? Suppose Cisco modifies its bid by offering a lease contract instead. Under the terms of the lease, Facebook will pay $28 million upfront, and $35 million per year for the next 3 years. Facebook's savings will be the same as with Cisco's original bid. c. Including its savings, what are Facebook's net cash flow under the lease contract? What is the IRR of the Cisco bid now? d. Is this new bid a better deal for Facebook…
A fin-tech firm is considering devising a new payment system. The initial cost for developing this system will be $20 million today. Once the system development is completed, in one year, the system will be sold to a major bank for $25 million. Assume that both the development of the system and the sale of the project for $25 million are certain. The firm can pay $20 million of investment entirely using its own cash. Or the firm can also raise funds to finance part of the investment by issuing a security that will pay investors $11 million in one year. Suppose the risk-free rate of interest is 10%. What is the NPV of this project if the fin-tech firm invests its own money and does not issue the new security? What is the NPV if the firm issues the new security? Briefly explain your answer by comparing the NPVs
You run a construction firm. You have just won a contract to build a government office complex. Building it will require an investment of $10.1010.10 million today and $5.105.10 million in one year. The government will pay you $21.2021.20 million in one year upon the building's completion. Suppose the interest rate is 10.2 % 10.2 %. a. What is the NPV of this opportunity? b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today?
