- Your division is considering two investment projects, each of which requires an up-front expenditure of 25 million. You estimate that the cost of capital is 10% and that the investments will produce the following after-tax cash flows (in millions of dollars): a. What is the regular payback period for each of the projects? b. What is the discounted payback period for each of the projects? c. If the two projects are independent and the cost of capital is 10%, which project or projects should the firm undertake? d. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 5%, which project should the firm undertake? e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 15%, which project should the firm undertake? f. What is the crossover rate? g. If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the modified IRR (MIRR) of each project?arrow_forwardTowson Industries is considering an investment of $256,950 that is expected to generate returns of $90,000 per year for each of the next four years. What Is the Investments internal rate of return?arrow_forwardThe Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?arrow_forward
- Manzer Enterprises is considering two independent investments: A new automated materials handling system that costs 900,000 and will produce net cash inflows of 300,000 at the end of each year for the next four years. A computer-aided manufacturing system that costs 775,000 and will produce labor savings of 400,000 and 500,000 at the end of the first year and second year, respectively. Manzer has a cost of capital of 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the IRR for the first investment and determine if it is acceptable or not. 2. Calculate the IRR of the second investment and comment on its acceptability. Use 12 percent as the first guess. 3. What if the cash flows for the first investment are 250,000 instead of 300,000?arrow_forwardWansley 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%.arrow_forwardOgier Incorporated currently has $800 million in sales, which are projected to grow by 10% in Year 1 and by 5% in Year 2. Its operating profitability ratio (OP) is 10%, and its capital requirement ratio (CR) is 80%? What are the projected sales in Years 1 and 2? What are the projected amounts of net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) for Years 1 and 2? What are the projected amounts of total net operating capital (OpCap) for Years 1 and 2? What is the projected FCF for Year 2?arrow_forward
