Chapter 18, Problem 2QP
APV Gemini, Inc., an all-equity firm, is considering an investment of $1.4 million that will be depreciated according to the straight-line method over its four-year life. The project is expected to generate earnings before taxes and depreciation of $502,000 per year for four years. The investment will not change the risk level of the firm. The company can obtain a four-year, 9.5 percent loan to finance the project from a local bank. All principal will be repaid in one balloon payment at the end of the fourth year. The bank will charge the firm $45,000 in flotation fees, which will be amortit.cd over the four-year life of the loan. If the company financed the project entirely with equity, the firm's cost of capital would be 13 percent. The corporate tax rate is 30 percent. Using the adjusted

Knotts, Incorporated, an all-equity firm, is considering an investment of $1.89 million that
will be depreciated according to the straight-line method over its four-year life. The
project is expected to generate earnings before taxes and depreciation of $616,000 per
year for four years. The investment will not change the risk level of the firm. The
company can obtain a four-year, 9.6 percent loan to finance the project from a local
bank. All principal will be repaid in one balloon payment at the end of the fourth year.
The bank will charge the firm $66,000 in flotation fees, which will be amortized over the
four-year life of the loan. If the company financed the project entirely with equity, the
firm's cost of capital would be 11 percent. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. Using the
adjusted present value method, calculate the APV of the project. (Do not round
intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars,

Dayton Mechanical, Inc. is currently evaluating a potential new investment. The investment will be financed with
5700,000 of debt and $1,200,000 of equity. The (unleveraged) after-lax cash flows, the CATs, expected to result from
the investment are $1 million per year for three years, after which time the project is expected to be sold off for a net
after-tax $1 million in cash. The debt financing will take the form of three-year debt with interest payments of 12% per
year on the remaining balance. Principal payments will be $100,000 in year 1, $200,000 in year 2, and $400,000 at the
end of year 3. The net-benefit-to-leverage factor, T^, is 0.25 for this investment. The (unleveraged) required return for
the project is 20%. What is the present value of the interest tax shield from the project?
Gemini, Inc., an all-equity firm, is considering a $1.7 million investment that will be depreciated according to the straight-line method over its four-year life. The project is expected to generate earnings before taxes and depreciation of $595,000 per year for four years. The investment will not change the risk level of the firm. The company can obtain a four-year, 9.5 percent loan to finance the project from a local bank. They will receive the total amount needed for investment ($1.7 million at time 0 and all principal will be repaid in one balloon payment at the end of the fourth year (similar to a bond). Every year the company would need to pay interest (@9.5%). If the company finances the project entirely with equity, the firm’s cost of capital would be 13 percent. The corporate tax rate is 30 percent. Calculate the cash flows and NPV for the two cases:

- Wansley Lumber is considering the purchase of a paper company, which would require an initial investment of $300 million. Wansley estimates that the paper company would provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of capital for the paper company is 13%. Should Wansley purchase the paper company? Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $30 million per year or $50 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2 in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Wansley can wait for 1 year and find out whether the cash flows will be $30 million per year or $50 million per year before deciding to purchase the company. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, if it waits to purchase, Wansley can no longer sell the company 2 years after purchase. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? If so, when?

Project A requires an initial investment of $42,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $6,000 for each of the next 50 years. Project B requires an initial investment of $210,000 and will generate $30,000 for each of the next 10 years. If Markoff requires a payback of 8 years or less, which project should it select based on payback periods?arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forward
