Assume that Sidney Johnson is confident of her estimates of all the variables that affect the project's cash flows except unit sales and sales price: If product acceptance is poor, unit sales would be only 800 units a year and the unit price would only be $160; a strong consumer response would produce sales of 1,200 units and a unit price of $240. Sidney believes that there is a 25% chance of poor acceptance, a 25% chance of excellent acceptance, and a 50% chance of average acceptance (the base case).
1.) What is scenario analysis?
2.) What is the worst-case NPV? The best-case NPV?
3.) Use the worst-,base-, and best-case NPV's and probabilities of occurrence to find the project's expected NPV, as well as the NPV's standard deviation and coefficient of variation
The management of the Book Warehouse Company wishes to apply the Miller-Orr model to manage its cash investment. They have determined that the cost of either investing in or selling marketable securities is $100. By looking at Book Warehouse’s past cash needs, they have determined that the variance of daily cash flows is $20,000. Book Warehouse’s opportunity cost of cash, per day, is estimated to be 0.03%. Based on experience, management has determined that the cash balance should never fall below $10,000. Calculate the lower limit, the return point, and the upper limit based on the Miller-Orr model of cash management.
The company you work for is considering a new product line projected to have the net cash flows (NCF) shown. The values are in future dollars, which have been inflated by 5% per year. Because the plant manager is unsure how the present worth is calculated, he asked you to do it in two ways over the 4-year planning horizon: (1) using the company’s market rate of 20% per year, and (2) converting all of the estimates into CV dollars and using the company’s real rate. You said both ways will provide the same answer, but he asked you to show him the calculations. What is the present worth by method (1) and method (2)? Solve by hand and spreadsheet.
