Three alternative insulations are being considered for installation on a machine part. After the initial installation, if the insulation fails in any future year, it is replaced byan identical one at a cost lower than the initial cost. The costs and probabilities of failure in any year are given in the table below.Insulationthickness2 inches3 inches6 inchesInitialinstallation cost$900$1,200$1,800Probability of failurein any given year26.7%14.4%6.32%Replacement cost anytimeinsulation fails in future$600$800$1,200If the analysis period is infinte (i.e, N = infinity), calculate the expected EUAC of the 2-inch insulation.

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.
The owner of a ski resort is considering installing a new ski lift that will cost $900,000. Expenses for operating andmaintaining the lift are estimated to be $1,500 per day when operating. The U.S. Weather Service estimates thatthere is a 60% probability of 80 days of skiing weather per year, a 30% probability of 100 days per year, and a 10% probability of 120 days per year. The operators of the resort estimate that during the first 80 days of adequate snow in a season, an average of 500 people will use the lift each day, at a fee of $10 each. If 20 additional days are available, the lift will be used by only 400 people per day during the extra period; and if 20 more days of skiing are available, only 300 people per day will use the lift during those days. The owners wish to recover any invested capital within five years and want at least a 25% per year rate of return before taxes. Based on a before-tax analysis, should the lift be installed?
You live in an area that has a possibility of incurring a massive earthquake, so you are considering buyingearthquake insurance on your home at an annual cost of $180. The probability of an earthquake damagingyour home during one year is 0.001. If this happens, you estimate that the cost of the damage (fully coveredby earthquake insurance) will be $160,000. Your total assets (including your home) are worth $250,000.

The Enrico Oil Company is deciding whether to drill for oil on a tract. The company estimates thatthe project would cost $8 million today. The company estimates that once drilled, the oil willgenerate positive net cash flow of $4 million a year for the next 4 years. The company recognizes,however, that if it waits 2 years, it could cost $9 million, but there is a 90% chance that the nextcash flow will be $4.2 million and there is a 10% chance that the net cash flow will be $2.2 milliona year for 4 years. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at 10%. Required:i. If the company opts to drill today, what is the project’s NPV? ii. Evaluate whether it would be worthwhile to wait 2 years before deciding whether todrill?
