Fox, Inc. is considering a six-year project that has initial after-tax outlay or after-tax cost of $170,000. The future after-tax cash inflows from its project for years 1 through 6 are $45,000 for each year. Fox uses the net present value method and has a discount rate of 11.25%. Calculate the NPV of the project. Will Fox accept the project?

Jasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10. What is the payback period for this project?
Staten Corporation is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial outlay of 150,000 and will operate for five years. The cash flows associated with these projects are as follows: Statens required rate of return is 10%. Using the net present value method and the present value table provided in Appendix A, which of the following actions would you recommend to Staten? a. Accept Project X and reject Project Y. b. Accept Project Y and reject Project X. c. Accept Projects X and Y. d. Reject Projects X and Y.
There are two projects under consideration by the Rainbow factory. Each of the projects will require an initial investment or $28.000 and is expected to generate the following cash flows: If the discount rate is 5% compute the NPV of each project and make a recommendation of the project to be chosen.
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?
Noble Inc. is considering a four-year project that has an initial after-tax outlay or after-tax cost of $ 110,000 . The future cash inflows from its project are $30,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $40,000 for years 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Noble uses the net present value method and has a discount rate of 10 %. Will Noble accept the project? Group of answer choices Noble rejects the project because the NPV is -$3,021 Noble accepts the project because the NPV is greater than $3000 Noble accepts the project because the NPV is greater than $2800 Noble rejects the project because the NPV is less than -$4,000
Julie Miller is evaluating a new project for her firm, Basket Wonders (BW). She has determined that the after-tax cash flows for the project will be $15,000; $18,000; $20,000; $15,000; and $8,000, respectively, for each of the Years 1 through 5. The initial cash outlay will be $40,000. Basket Wonders has determined that the appropriate discount rate (k) for this project is 12%.The NPV of project is;
What is the NPV of a $45,000 project that is expected to have an after-tax cash flow of $14,000 for the first two years, $10,000 for the next two years, and $8,000 for the fifth year? Use a discount rate of 8%. Would you accept or reject the investment?
Green Landscaping, Inc. is using net present value (NPV) when evaluating projects. Green Landscaping's cost of capital is 8.04 percent. What is the NPV of a project if the initial costs are $1,915,222 and the project life is estimated as 10 years? The project will produce the same after-tax cash inflows of $698,670 per year at the end of the year. Round the answer to two decimal places.
ogue River, Inc. is considering a project that has an initial after-tax outlay or after-tax cost of $220,000. The respective future cash inflows from its four-year project for years 1 through 4 are $80,000, $60,000, $70,000, and $50,000. Rogue River has a discount rate of 8.5%.
