Buena Vision Clinic is considering an investment that requires an outlay of 600,000 and promises a net cash inflow one year from now of 810,000. Assume the cost of capital is 10 percent. Required: 1. Break the 810,000 future cash inflow into three components: a. The return of the original investment b. The cost of capital c. The profit earned on the investment 2. Now, compute the present value of the profit earned on the investment. 3. Compute the NPV of the investment. Compare this with the present value of the profit computed in Requirement 2. What does this tell you about the meaning of NPV?
Kingston, Inc. management is considering purchasing a new machine at a cost of $4,255,072. They expect this equipment to produce cash flows of $805,039, $846,614, $968,835, $1,060,543, $1,166,140, and $1,171,713 over the next six years. If the appropriate discount rate is 15 percent, what is the NPV of this investment? (Enter negative amounts using negative sign e.g. -45.25. Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

The company you work for is considering a new product line that is projected to have the net cash flows below (in $1000). The values are in future dollars which have been inflated by 5% per year. The plant manager isn’t sure about how the present worth of the cash flows should be calculated, so he asked you to do it two ways over the 4-year planning horizon: (1) using an inflation-adjusted rate of 20% per year, and (2) converting all of the cash flows to current-value dollars and using a real interest rate. You said both ways will provide the same answer, but he asked you to show him the calculations. Prepare the present worth computations by methods (1) and (2).
We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 6,500 units per year at $43 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $43 × 6,500 = $279,500. The relevant discount rate is 16 percent and the initial investment required is $980,000. a. What is the base-case NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $810,000. If expected sales are revised based on the first year’s performance, below what level of expected sales would it make sense to abandon the project?
VISA is planning to spend $650,000 on a new marketing campaign. They believe that this action will result in additional cash flows of $314,000 each year for three years.

You are interested in an investment project that costs $40,000 initially.

However, the Fed has stated that inflation may rise by 1.5% or may fall by the same amount over the next 5 years. Assume a direct positive impact of inflation on the prevailing rates (Fisher effect) and answer the following questions: (Assume that inflation has an impact on the opportunity cost, but that cash flows are contractually fixed and are not affected by inflation.) a. What is the net present value (NPV) of the investment under the current required rate of return? b. What is the net present value (NPV) of the investment under a period of rising inflation? c.

Down Under stores are considering an investment with an intial cost of $236,00. In Year 4, the project will require an additional investment and finally, the project will be shut down in Year 7. The annual cash flows for Years 1 - 7 are projected as $64,000, $87,000 $91,000, -$48,000, $122,000, $154,000, and -$30,000. If all negative cash flows are moved to Time 0 using a discount rate of 13%, what is the project's modified IRR?
. Suppose we are asked to decide whether a new consumer product should be launched. Based on projected sales and costs, we expect that the cash flows over the five-year life of the project will be $2,000 in the first two years, $4,000 in the next two, and $5,000 in the last year. It will cost about $10,000 to begin production. We use a 10% discount rate to evaluate new products.  Calculate the NPV of the project.  Should we take the project?
