The project has a payback period of 2.5 years. The firm’s cost of capital is 12 percent.
What is the project’s net present value (NPV)?
What does the NPV rule advice regarding this investment opportunity?
Firm Xy has an investment project with annual cash flows of 20,000, 18,500, 21,500, and 12,350. The discount rate is 11.55%.
What is the nominal payback period if the initial cost is 31,000?
what is the discounted payback period if the initial cost is $24,000?
Consider a project with free cash flows in one year of $90,000 in a weak economy or $117,000 in a strong economy, with each outcome being equally likely. The initial investment required for the project is $80,000, and the project's cost of capital is 15%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%.
a. Assume that to raise the funds for the initial investment the firm borrows $80,000 at the risk-free rate, calculate the value of the firm's levered equity.
b. Assume that to raise the funds for the initial investment the firm borrows $30,000 at the risk-free rate and issues new equity to cover the remainder. Suppose we end up with a weak economy one year from now. What will be the cash flow that equity holders receive?
