Boisjoly Enterprises is considering buying a vacant lot that sells for $1.4 million. If the property is purchased, the company’s plan is to spend another $6 million todayto build a hotel on the property. The cash flows from the hotel will depend critically on whether the state imposes a tourism tax in this year’s legislative session. If the tax is imposed, the hotel is expected to produce cash flows of $500,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years. If the tax is not imposed, the hotel is expected to produce cash flows of $1,200,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years. The project has a 12% WACC. Assume at the outset that the company does not have the option to delay the project.
1.What is the project’s expected NPV if the tax is imposed?
2.What is the project’s expected NPV if the tax is not imposed?
3.Given that there is a 45% chance that the tax will be imposed, what is the project’s expected NPV if management proceeds with it today?

- During the last few years, Jana Industries has been too constrained by the high cost of capital to make many capital investments. Recently, though, capital costs have been declining, and the company has decided to look seriously at a major expansion program proposed by the marketing department. Assume that you are an assistant to Leigh Jones, the financial vice president. Your first task is to estimate Jana’s cost of capital. Jones has provided you with the following data, which she believes may be relevant to your task: The firm’s tax rate is 40%. The current price of Jana’s 12% coupon, semiannual payment, noncallable bonds with 15 years remaining to maturity is $1,153.72. Jana does not use short-term interest-bearing debt on a permanent basis. New bonds would be privately placed with no flotation cost. The current price of the firm’s 10%, $100 par value, quarterly dividend, perpetual preferred stock is $116.95. Jana would incur flotation costs equal to 5% of the proceeds on a new issue. Jana’s common stock is currently selling at $50 per share. Its last dividend (D0) was $3.12, and dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.8% in the foreseeable future. Jana’s beta is 1.2, the yield on T-bonds is 5.6%, and the market risk premium is estimated to be 6%. For the own-bond-yield-plus-judgmental-risk-premium approach, the firm uses a 3.2% risk premium. Jana’s target capital structure is 30% long-term debt, 10% preferred stock, and 60% common equity. To help you structure the task, Leigh Jones has asked you to answer the following questions: (1) What sources of capital should be included when you estimate Jana’s weighted average cost of capital? (2) Should the component costs be figured on a before-tax or an after-tax basis? (3) Should the costs be historical (embedded) costs or new (marginal) costs?arrow_forwardYou own a construction company and have recently received a contract with the local school district to refurbish one of its elementary schools. You are given an up-front payment from the school district in the amount of $5 million. The contract terms extend from years 2018 to 2020. When would you recognize revenue for this payment? What method of accounting would you use for this construction project and why? What would be the benefits and challenges with your method selection? Give an example of your distribution selection and associated costs of the project (you may estimate based on other industry competitors). What might be some benefits and challenges associated with the other method of construction revenue recognition?arrow_forwardA municipality plans to build a new roadway that will decrease the amount of time it takes commuters to get from the South end of the city to the North end. The cost to construct the roadway is $13,900,000 It is estimated that the increased efficiency for commuters has a value of $2.11 per car, per day as a result of the decreased operating costs and less time commuting. The new roadway will be adjacent to a large forest. As a result, there is an expectation that there will be an increase of 12 chipmunk-car collisions each year at an estimated cost of $19,528 per collision. The new roadway will have maintenance requirements that will cost $260,800 per year. The life of the new roadway is 45 years and the discount rate is 5.00% What is the minimum average number of cars per day that must use the new roadway in order for the project to be worthwhile?arrow_forward
- Civil Engineering consulting firms that provide services to outlying communities are vulnerable to a number of factors that affect the financial condition of the communities, such as bond issues, real estate developments, etc. A small consulting firm entered into a fixed-price contract with a spec home builder, resulting in a stable income of $320,000 per year in years 1 through 4. At the end of that time, a mild recession slowed the development, so the parties signed another contract for $150,000 per year for two more years. Determine the present worth of the two contracts at an interest rate of 10% per year.arrow_forwardA growing city of 60,000 has an intersection near the south end of the main business district. The north-south street has no traffic control at that intersection, and the east-west intersecting street has only stop signs.There have been a few accidents in recent years and it has been estimated that a traffic light can provide benefits of $55,000 per year in reduced property loss and disabling injuries, increasing by $2,500 per year.The disbenefits of the traffic light include cost of fuel and time delays, amounting to an estimated $24,000 per year, increasing by $2,000 per year. The installation cost of the traffic light is estimated to be $120,000 with maintenance and electricity running $6,000 in the first year and increasing by $300 per year over a time horizon of 10 years. It is anticipated that the intersection will need to be redesigned at that time and the traffic light removed and sold to a nearby small community for a net salvage value of $4,000. The discount rate is 7%.

One of the alternative uses for the excess funds is an acquisition. Linda Wade, Smitty’s treasurer and your boss, has been asked to place a value on a potential target, Hill’s Hardware, a small chain that operates in an adjacent state, and she has enlisted your help. Table below indicates Wade’s estimates of Hill’s earnings potential if it comes under Smitty’s management (in millions of dollars). The interest expense listed here includes the interest (1) on Hill’s existing debt, (2) on new debt that Smitty’s would issue to help finance the acquisition, and (3) on new debt expected to be issued over time to help finance expansion within the new “H division,” the code name given to the target firm. The retentions represent earnings that will be reinvested within the H division to help finance its growth.…arrow_forward

It has estimated that opening the laundry would involve an initial cost of $100,000 and would generate a net cash flow of $32,000 in each of the following five years, with no salvage value for the equipment and no recovery of operating expenses at the end of the five years. The corporation estimates that it would have to pay a rate of 12% on its bonds and that it would face a marginal income tax rate of 40%. The interest on government securities is 10%. During the current year, the corporation expects to pay a dividend of $20 on each share of its common stock, which sells for 10 times current earnings.
