Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider a project to supply your church with 55,000 gallons of hand
sanitizer annually for church services. You estimate that you will need an
initial Gh¢4,200,000 in terms of investment to get the project started. The
project will last for 5 years.
The project will bring in annual cash flows of Gh¢1,375,000. It also
estimates a salvage value of Ghç300,000 after dismantling costs.
Your cost of capital is 13 percent. Assume no taxes or depreciation.
Required:
a) What is the NPV of the sanitizer project? Should you pursue this
project?
b) Suppose you believe that there is a best case scenario where
initial investment could be 15% lower with salvage value and
revenue being 10% higher, what would be the NPV under this
scenario?
c) In the worst case scenario, you expect annual cash inflows to be
10% lower, salvage value to be 12% lower and initial investment to
be 10% higher. Calculate the NPV under this worst case scenario.
Would you still pursue the project?

- A proposed bridge on the interstate highway is being considered at the cost of 4 million dollars. It is expected that the bridge will have a life of 30 years. Construction costs will be paid by government agencies. Operation and maintenance costs are estimated to be $250,000 per year. Benefits to the public are estimated to be $900,000 per year. The building of the bridge will result in an estimated cost of $250,000 per year to the general public. The project requires a return of 5%. Determine the benefit/cost (B/C) ratio.arrow_forwardHaslam Homes is considering designing and marketing a concrete, yurt-based pre-fabricated home to compete in the doomsday prepper market.

- You have been tasked with recommending one of the two investment projects for acceptance by your company. Project 1 costs $100,000 to implement today (it is a cost), it will bring subsequent positive cash flows of $50,000 at the end of year one; and subsequently $30,000; $45,000; $8,000. Project 2 initial cost is $14,000, and subsequent cash flows are $7,000 per year for 3 years. Your company is using WACC of14% for both projects. a.
