A firm has the opportunity to invest in a project having an initial outlay of $20,000. Net cash inflows (before depreciation and taxes) are expected to be $5,000 per year for five years. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method with a zero salvage value and has a (marginal) income tax rate of 40 percent. The firms cost of capital is 12 percent. Compute the IRR and the NPV. Should the firm accept or reject the project?
A share of stock of A-Star Inc. is now selling for $23.50. A financial analyst summarizes the uncertainty about the rate of return on the stock by specifying three possible scenarios: Business Condition Scenario, s Probability, p(s) End of Year Price Annual Dividend High growth 1 0.35 $35 $ 4.40 Normal growth 2 0.30 27 4.00 No growth 3 0.35 15 4.00 What are the holding-period returns for a one-year investment in the stock of A-Star Inc. for each of the three scenarios? Calculate the expected HPR and standard deviation of the HPR.
Assuming monetary benefits of an information system at $85,000 per year, one-time costs of $75,000, recurring costs of $35,000 per year, a discount rate of 12 percent, and a 5-year time horizon, calculate the net present value (NPV) of the system’s costs and benefits. Also calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project and then present a break-even analysis (BEA). At what point does break-even occur?
"All growth models. You are evaluating the potential purchase of a small company that currently generates $42,500 in cash flow after taxes (D0 = $42,500). Based on a review of similar risk investment opportunities, you should earn a return rate of 18% from the proposed purchase. Since you're not very sure about future cash flows, you decide to calculate the value of the company assuming some possibilities for the cash flow growth rate. a) What is the value of the company if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate of 0% from now on? b) What is the value of the company if cash flows are expected to grow at a constant annual rate of 7% from now on? c) What is the value of the company if cash flows are expected to grow at an annual rate of 12% for the first 2 years and then, starting from year 3, the growth rate decreases to a constant annual rate of 7%?"
link co just paid a dividend of $1.00 per share. Analysts expect its dividend to grow at 20% per year for the next two years and then 3% per year thereafter. If the required rate of return in the stock is 7%, calculate the current value of the stock. $32.49 $34.77 $35.82 $36.00 $37.20
Stock ABC has a Forward for December at: $450, Is it reasonable that A PUT option on ABC, with a strike of $500, costs $45? A. No because the minimum intrinsic is $50. B. No, because $35 feels low for a stock with such a high price per share. C. Yes because Intrinsic is $40, Extrinsic is $5 D. Yes because it depends on the distribution; that is defined by the volatility and time to maturity

A stock currently sells for 11 TL per share and pays 0.16 TL per year in dividends. What is an investor's valuation of this stock if she expects it to be selling for 14 TL in one year and requires a 10 % return on equity investments? a. 12,89% b. 12,73% c. 12,87% d. 10%
Assuming an after-tax cost of preferred stock of 10% and a corporate tax rate of 34%, a firm must earn at least $15.15 before tax on every $100 invested. Select one: True False
Project NOLA has an initial after-tax cost of $150,000 at t = 0 The project is expected to produce after-tax CFs of $60,000 for the next three years. The project's WACC is 10%. The project's CFs depend critically upon customer's acceptance of the product. There's a 60% probability that the product will be successful and generate annual after-tax CFs of $100,000, and a 40% probability that it will not be successful and hence produce annual after-tax of -$20,000. Should the company abandon the project after a year ?please so working for everything. Thank you.
You are the FPE at a petroleum plant and are overseeing the design and installation of a new fire pump. There are two separate options an electric pump and a diesel pump. The electric pump includes an initial investment of $5,000,000 with a yearly maintenance of $150,000. The diesel pump includes an initial investment of $3,500,000 with a yearly maintenance of $400,000. Assume both pumps have a life expectancy of 10 years and the interest rate is 6%. Which system is the most desirable? The electric pump because it costs approximately $340,000 less than the diesel pump. The electric pump because it costs approximately $520,000 less than the deisel pump. The diesel pump because it costs approximately $520,000 less than the electric pump. The diesel pump because it costs approximately $340,000 less than the electric pump.
Consider company ABC. Today it is 1st of January 2023 and ABC has just paid a dividend of £3 million. The expected earnings of ABC for the next 30 years are forecast to grow at a rate of 15% per annum. From 1st of January 2053 and onwards the earnings of ABC are expected to grow at a rate of 5%.
