Spencer Enterprises is attempting to choose among a series of new investment alternatives. The potential investment alternatives, the net present value of the future stream of returns, the capital requirements, and the available capital funds over the next three years are summarized as follows: Develop and solve an integer programming model for maximizing the net present value. Assume that only one of the warehouse expansion projects can be implemented. Modify your model from part (a). Suppose that if test marketing of the new product is carried out, the advertising campaign also must be conducted. Modify your formulation from part (b) to reflect this new situation.
Two potential real estate investments are under review by an investment firm. One is a 75,000 square foot office building in Portland, Oregon with a projected pre-tax leveraged IRR of 18.8% and the other is a 54-unit garden apartment building in Scranton, Pennsylvania with a projected pre-tax leveraged IRR of 14.5%. The investment firm should: a. Carefully weigh the projected returns relative to the potential risks of each investment during the due diligence process to determine whether either investment should be chosen b. Choose the Scranton apartment building with the lower expected IRR because it must be a safer investment c. Choose neither investment because both IRRs seem too good to be true in today’s market d.Choose the Portland industrial building with the higher expected IRR because it will definitely appreciate in value more over time
Your boss wants you to conduct a sensitivity and scenario analysis to determine whether the following project is a winner. You are entering an established market, and you know the market size will be 1,100,000 units. You are unsure of your exact market share, the price you will be able to charge, and your variable cost per unit, but have determined a range of possible values for each (in the table below). Your initial investment cost is $150 million, and that investment will depreciate in straight-line form over the 20-year life of the project. There are no new NWC requirements, and there will be no salvage value at the end of the 20 years. The tax rate is 35%. The discount rate is 18%. a) Use the following table to conduct a full sensitivity analysis for the project. Make sure to include the NPV for the expected outcome as part of the full sensitivity analysis. Also add the best- and worst-case scenarios to the full sensitivity analysis. Show all of your work (written out, not an…
The terminal cap rate used for valuation purposes in a DCF is fundamentally different than the discount rate used in that same DCF. The assumed sale of the property takes place at the end of your hold period, generally 10 years later in most models. The property is older and the market and the economy have changed. With that said, what do you believe to be the right approach for terminal cap rate selection in a DCF on a development project and why?

Adidas is evaluating a proposal for a new product. If they launch the product, they will use an existing facility in the production process, which they previously acquired for $4 million. They currently lease it to a third party, and they expect to continue to do so if they don't use it for the new product. They rent it out for $102,000 and they expect that to remain flat for the foreseeable future. The project requires immediate investment in CAPX of $1.3 million, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years for tax purposes. The project will end after eight years, at which time they expect to salvage some of the initital CAPX and sell it for $469,000. The project requires immediate working capital investments equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. After that, working capital will remain at 10% of the following year's expected sales. They expect sales to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years. Total…

Companies often come across projects that have positive NPV opportunities in which the company does not invest. Companies must evaluate the value of the option to invest in a new project that would potentially contribute to the growth of the firm. These options are referred to as growth options. Consider the case of Hack Wellington Co.: Hack Wellington Co. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $55,000. It has estimated that the annual cash flows for the project under good conditions will be $60,000 and $10,000 under bad conditions. The firm believes that there is a 60% chance of good conditions and a 40% chance of bad conditions. If the firm is using a weighted average cost of capital of 13%, the expected net present value (NPV) of the project is . (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) Hack Wellington Co. wants to take a potential growth option into account when calculating the project’s expected NPV. If…
