E7.7 (LO 3, 4), AP Shruti Shrills is considering an expansion of one of its existing buildings to add more manufacturing space for its kid-friendly noisemakers. Several possible scenarios exist for future cash flows, as follows. 1. Construction costs of $500,000; steady sales and costs each year, netting to an annual operating cash inflow of $70,000; the expansion would have no salvage value at the end of its 10-year useful life (the building would be repurposed for a different product).2. Construction costs of $500,000; rising and then falling net cash flows each year for 10 years, as follows: $50,000 for the first 2 and last 2 years, $175,000 for years 3–5, and $100,000 for years 6–8.3. Construction costs of $700,000; no cash flows in year 1, $75,000 in years 2 and 3, $150,000 in year 4, $100,000 in years 5–8, and $50,000 in the last 2 years.Required 1.

Lalaland Inc is considering a project that requires an investment of $21,000 in NWC (in year 0) and $121,000 in fixed assets (year 0), which has 30% CCA class. Assume CCA pool will remain open. The unlevered net income of project is $61,300 per year, over the 3 years life of the project. The tax rate is 35% and required rate of return is 16%. The fixed assets have a salvage value of 28,500 at the end of project (Year 3). NWC will be recovered at the conclusion of the Project (in Year 3). What is the NPV of this project?
A L0IN33 builder company is deciding to undertake a pr0ject. The project is quite profitable as it will generate net cash inflows of $20 million per year for 5 years. However, it will cause pollution to the nearby residents. The company can mitigate this pollution by investing additional 10 million at Year 0 but legally it is n0t compulsory for it to do so. Undertaking this project would cost $60 million without mitigation. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual cash inflows would be $22 million. The risk adjusted WACC is 12%. Calculate the NPV and IRR with and without mitigation Should the project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do mitigation Note please tell me how to find pv factor@19% and 20%/discounting 19% and 20%
8-10 Monsoon Inc. is considering bidding on a government project. To do the project, the company must make an initial investment of $9 million to purchase the necessary equipment. The project will last for five years, at the end of which the equipment can be salvaged for $500,000. The equipment has a CCA rate of 30%. The bidding process for the project requires the firm to submit a bid for a constant amount of $X before-tax, to be remitted by the government to the winning bidder each year. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40%, and the required rate of return on similar projects is 18%. What is the minimum bid that the firm should submit for this project (rounded to the nearest dollar)? Select one: a. $8,000,000 b. $3,191,717 c. $1,915,030 d. $3,601,601 e. $5,988,626
V14 Steadman Company is considering an investment in a new machine for an independent five-year project. The machine’s cost is $837,500 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $252,500 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule. 2. Determine the NPV of the project. 3. Determine the IRR of the project. 4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year. 5. Determine the book (accounting) rate of return using both (a) the initial investment as the denominator and (b) the average book value of the investment as the denominator.
8. A nuclear power company is deciding whether tobuild a nuclear power plant at Diablo Canyon or atRoy Rogers City. The cost of building the powerplant is $70 million at Diablo and $95 million atRoy Rogers City. If the company builds at Diablo,however, and an earthquake occurs at Diablo duringthe next five years, construction will be terminatedand the company will lose $40 million (and will stillhave to build a power plant at Roy Rogers City).Without further expert information the companybelieves there is a 10% chance that an earthquakewill occur, at Diablo during the next five years. For$1.5 million, a geologist can be hired to analyze thefault structure at Diablo Canyon. She will predicteither that an earthquake will occur or that an earthquake will not occur. The geologist’s past recordindicates that she will predict an earthquake withprobability 0.90 if an earthquake will occur, andshe will predict no earthquake with probability 0.80if an earthquake will not occur.
