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?
Roberts Company is considering an investment in equipment that is capable of producing more efficiently than the current technology. The outlay required is 2,293,200. The equipment is expected to last five years and will have no salvage value. The expected cash flows associated with the project are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the projects payback period. 2. Compute the projects accounting rate of return. 3. Compute the projects net present value, assuming a required rate of return of 10 percent. 4. Compute the projects internal rate of return.
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?
Friedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.
Tropical Sweets is considering a project that will cost $70 million and will generate expected cash flows of $30 million per year for 3 years. The cost of capital for this type of project is 10%, and the risk-free rate is 6%. After discussions with the marketing department, you learn that there is a 30% chance of high demand with associated future cash flows of $45 million per year. There is also a 40% chance of average demand with cash flows of $30 million per year as well as a 30% chance of low demand with cash flows of only $15 million per year. What is the expected NPV?
Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?
Chrustuba Inc. is evaluating a new project that would cost $8.2 million at t = 0. There is a 50% chance that the project would be highly successful and generate annual after-tax cash flows of $6.2 million during Years 1, 2, and 3. However, there is a 50% chance that it would be less successful and would generate only $1 million for each of the 3 years. If the project is highly successful, it would open the door for another investment of $10 million at the end of Year 2, and this new investment could be sold for $20 million at the end of Year 3. Assuming a WACC of 10.0%, what is the project's expected NPV (in thousands) after taking this growth option into account?

Singh Development Co. is deciding whether to proceed with Project X.The cost would be $11 million in Year 0. There is a 50% chance that X would be hugelysuccessful and would generate annual after-tax cash flows of $7 million per year duringYears 1, 2, and 3. However, there is a 50% chance that X would be less successful and wouldgenerate only $1 million per year for the 3 years. If Project X is hugely successful, it wouldopen the door to another investment, Project Y, which would require an outlay of $8 millionat the end of Year 2.

What is X’s expected NPV with the growth option?c. What is the value of the growth option?
CT Inc. is evaluating a project that would cost P8 million at t = 0. There is a 50% chance that the project would be highly successful and generate annual after-tax cash flows of P6 million during Years 1, 2, and 3. However, there is a 50% chance that it would be less successful and would generate only P1 million for each of the 3 years. If the project is highly successful, it would open the door for another investment of P10 million at the end of Year 2, and this new investment could be sold for P20 million at the end of Year 3. However, if the project is unsuccessful, the new P10 million investment at the end of Year 2 would only be sold for P5,000,000 at the end of Year 3. Assume a WACC of 12.0%.

JBL Inc. is considering a new product that would require an after-tax investment of $1,400,000 at t = 0. If the new product is well received, then the project would produce after-tax cash flows of $ 650,000 at the end of each of the next 3 years (t = 1, 2, 3), but if the market did not like the product, then the cash flows would be only $100,000 per year. There is a 70% probability that the market will be good. JBL Inc. could delay the project for a year while it conducted a test to determine if demand would be strong or weak. The project's cost and expected annual cash flows are the same whether the project is delayed or not; however, the timing of the cash flows would change. (There would be the same number of cash flows-only the cash flows would be extended out one extra year.) The project's WACC is 10%. What is the value of the project after considering the investment timing option? a. $108, 226.89 b. $ 137, 743.32 c. $167, 259.75 d. $196, 776.18 e. $216, 453.79
