- A company is going to start a pop-up venture. The goal is to break-even and use the experience to learn about how consumers react to types of green products. The project will cost $2,000 to implement and will have after-tax cash flows of $200 at the end of Year 1 and $2,200 after Year 2. At that time the project will end. The $2,000 investment will be financed 50% debt and 50% equity. The before-tax cost of debt is 8%. The tax rate is 20%. The beta for the project is 1.2. The risk-free rate for computing the cost of equity is 5.2% and the market risk premium is 7%. Use this information to: Find the WACC for the project. Show that this is a zero NPV project.

As of today, the best estimate of the value of the future cash flows (in present value terms) generated by the soup store is $12,000. Moreover, to make the store fully operational and actually start selling soup, the firm needs to invest $15,000. Thus, it appears that the restaurant is a negative NPV project. However, the managers of Soup Inc. believe that the potential of the restaurant is uncertain and the current estimate of the value of its cash flows of $12,000 might be quite wrong. Therefore, they decide to invest in market research. They will study the market for 2 years and then decide whether to open the restaurant or not (at the end of year 2). Your task is to help the managers of Soup Inc. by providing answers to the following questions: (Part 1) Investing in market research creates an option.

It is very big, very bright, and very noisy! Boyd will immediately spend $50,000 on a design and test marketing study that will take a year to complete. If the fan focus groups hate it (30% probability) Boyd will abandon the project and receive nothing. If they love it (70% probability) then in Year 1 Boyd will invest $30,000 in new manufacturing equipment. Sales will begin in Year 2. If actual fans in the stadium love it (80% probability), Boyd will receive cash flows of $40,000 per year for 5 years starting in Year 2. If fans don't like them (20% probability) Boyd will only receive cash flows of $2,000 per year for 5 years. What is the expected NPV of the project? Boyd's WACC is 10%.

The firm expects that sales of the new spring roll will be $20 million per year. While many of these sales will be to new customers, CSR estimates that 50% will come from customers who switch to the new, healthier spring roll instead of buying the original version. Suppose that 25% of the customers who would switch from CSR’s original spring roll to its healthier version will switch to another brand if CSR does not introduce a healthier spring roll. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new spring roll in this case? $15 million $10 million $17.5 million $12.5 millionarrow_forward
- HomeGrown Company is a chain of grocery stores that are similar to indoor farmer's markets, providing fresh, local produce, meats, and dairy products to consumers in urban areas. HomeGrown is considering opening several stores in a new city, and has proposals from three contractors (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma companies) who would like to provide buildings for the new stores. The amount of expected revenue from the stores will depend on the design of the contractor. For example, if HomeGrown decides on a more open floor plan, with less shelf space for products, revenue would be lower overall. However, if HomeGrown decides on a very crowded floor plan, it may lose customers who appreciate a more open feel. As the project manager for HomeGrown, you are responsible for deciding which if any of the proposals to accept. HomeGrown's minimum acceptable rate of return is 20%.
