You are planning to issue debt to finance a new project. The project will require $20.82 million in financing, and you estimate its NPV to be $15.243 million. The issue costs for the debt will be 2.7% of face value. Taking into account the costs of external financing, what is the NPV of the project?

Jasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10. What is the payback period for this project?
Wansley Lumber is considering the purchase of a paper company, which would require an initial investment of $300 million. Wansley estimates that the paper company would provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of capital for the paper company is 13%. Should Wansley purchase the paper company? Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $30 million per year or $50 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2 in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Wansley can wait for 1 year and find out whether the cash flows will be $30 million per year or $50 million per year before deciding to purchase the company. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, if it waits to purchase, Wansley can no longer sell the company 2 years after purchase. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? If so, when? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%.
Redbird Company is considering a project with an initial investment of $265,000 in new equipment that will yield annual net cash flows of $45,800 each year over its seven-year life.

Markoff Products is considering two competing projects, but only one will be selected. Project A requires an initial investment of $42,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $6,000 for each of the next 50 years. Project B requires an initial investment of $210,000 and will generate $30,000 for each of the next 10 years. If Markoff requires a payback of 8 years or less, which project should it select based on payback periods?

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $8.4 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.56 million per year for 8 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.49 percent and a cost of equity of 11.19 percent. The debt - equity ratio is .56 and the tax rate is 23 percent. What is the net present value of the project?

The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.70 percent and a cost of equity of 11.33 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .63 and the tax rate is 35 percent. What is the net present value of the project?. Please correct.
Your firm is considering a project that will cost $4.465 million up front, generate cash flows of $3.45 million per year for 3 years, and then have a cleanup and shutdown cost of $5.95 million in the fourth year. a. How many IRRs does this project have? b. Calculate a modified IRR for this project assuming a discount and compounding rate of 9.7%. c. Using the MIRR and a cost of capital of 9.7%, would you take the project?
Sommer, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial after-tax cash savings of $1.89 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .80, a cost of equity of 12.9 percent, and an after-tax cost of debt of 5.7 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 1 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project?
You are evaluating a project that requires an investment of $102 today and garantees a single cash flow of $127 one year from now. You decide to use 100% debt financing, that is, you will borrow $102. The risk-free rate is 5% and the tax rate is 39%. Assume that the investment is fully depreciated at the end of the year, so without leverage you would owe taxes on the difference between the project cash flow and the investment, that is, $25. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity using the APV method. (Round to two decimalplaces.) Using your answer to part (1), calculate the WACC of the project. (Round to two decimalplaces.) Verify that you get the same answer using the WACC method to calculate NPV. (Round to two decimalplaces.) Finally, show that flow-to-equity method also correctly gives the NPV of this investment opportunity. (Round to two decimalplaces.)
Lebleu, Incorporated, is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.71 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 1 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .75, a cost of equity of 11.1 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 3.9 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +2 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
