9. Calculating Project OCF H. Cochran, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.15 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three- LO 2 year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2.23 million in annual sales, with costs of $1.25 million. If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the OCF for this project?

The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
Your division is considering two investment projects, each of which requires an up-front expenditure of 25 million. You estimate that the cost of capital is 10% and that the investments will produce the following after-tax cash flows (in millions of dollars): a. 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. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 15%, which project should the firm undertake? f. What is the crossover rate? g. If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the modified IRR (MIRR) of each project?
A project requires initial asset investment of $1 million. The asset will last for 8 years, and will be depreciated for tax purposes at the CCA rate of 30%. The required return on this project is 16%, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 36%. Assuming that the asset will have a salvage value of $50,000 at the end of Year 8. what is the present value of the CCA tax shields from this project?

A project requires an initial investment of $6 million and will yield operating cash flows of $1.5 million per year for the next 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the project’s assets can be divested for $350,000. The marginal tax rate is 35%, and the CCA rate is 30%. If the required rate of return is 15%, what is the present value of the CCA tax shields? Select one: a. $1,329,042.73 b. $1,308,432.91 c. $1,288,508.90 d. $1,210,537.92 e. $1,049,551.30
You need to determine the viability of a project. The project will cost $650,000 today and have a life of 8 years. It has an unusal CCA rate of 14.0% and is expected to be sold for $100,000 at the end of the project's life. Annual sales revenue is expected to be $585,000 and annual costs are expected to be $465,000. The tax rate is 35.0% and the project's discount rate is 8.5%. Part A: Compute the NPV of the project and state whether you should proceed or not. Part B: Oops - the accountants made a mistake! The actual CCA rate is: 17.0%. Assuming all else is equal, compute the NPV of the project using the new CCA rate and state how much this improves or reduces the NPV of the project.
A project requires an initial investment of $500,000 and expects to produce an after-tax operating cash flow of $180,000 per year for three years. The asset value will be depreciated to zero using straight-line depreciation over the three years. At the end of the project, the asset could be sold at market price. Assume a 21% tax rate and 15% cost of capital. What is the market price of the fixed asset that will make this project break even?
A firm is considering a nine-year project that requires an initial investment in fixed assets of $630. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight line to zero over the life of the project. At the end of the project the asset will be sold for $180. The project is expected to generate $950 in annual sales with annual cost of goods sold of $400. The tax rate is 30% and the discount rate is 10%. Find the net present value of the project.
An investment has an initial cost of $3.2 million. This investment will be depreciated by $900,000 a year over the 3-year life of the project.

Tree's Ice Cubes is considering a new three-year expansion project.

A 9-year project is expected to provide annual sales of $225,000 with costs of $98,000. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $365,000 and will be depreciated on a straight- line method over the life of the project. You feel that both sales and costs are accurate to +/-10 percent. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow for the worst- case scenario?
