Your firm’s geologists have discovered a small oil field in New York’s Westchester County. The field is forecasted to produce a cash flow of C1 = $2 million in the first year. You estimate that you could earn an expected return of r =12% from investing in stocks with a similar degree of risk to your oil field. Therefore, 12% is the opportunity cost of capital. What is the present value? The answer, of course, depends on what happens to the cash flows after the first year. Calculate present value for the following cases:
The cash flows are forecasted to continue forever, with no expected growth or decline.
The cash flows are forecasted to continue for 20 years only, with no expected growth or decline during that period.
The cash flows are forecasted to continue forever, increasing by 3% per year because of inflation.
The cash flows are forecasted to continue for 20 years only, increasing by 3% per year because of inflation
You are a consultant to a firm evaluating an expansion of its current business. The cash-flow forecasts (in millions of dollars) for the project are as follows:
Years. Cash flow
0 - 100
1-10 + 15
On the basis of the behavior of the firms stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.34. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 14% what is the net present value of the project?
The Seattle Corporation has been presented with an investment opportunity which will yield end-of-year cash flows of $19,000 per year in Years 1 through 4, and $23,000 per year in Years 5 through 9. This investment will cost the firm $63,000 today, and the firm's cost of capital is 9.2 percent. What is the NPV for this investment?

- Free Cash Flow Valuation Dozier Corporation is a fast-growing supplier of office products. Analysts project the following free cash flows (FCFs) during the next 3 years, after which FCF is expected to grow at a constant 7% rate. Dozier’s weighted average cost of capital is WACC = 13%. What is Dozier’s horizon value? (Hint: Find the value of all free cash flows beyond Year 3 discounted back to Year 3.) What is the current value of operations for Dozier?

The future perpetual cash flow is either $750K if the market goes up or $125K if the market goes down next year. The objective probability the market will go up is 20%. The appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return (cost of capital) is 25%. The initial capital investment required at time 0 is $1200K. а. Should the company invest in this project? b. Upon closer inspection the CFO realizes the company actually has some flexibility in managing this project. Specifically, if the market goes down, the company can abandon the project, and liquidate its original capital investment for 75% of its original value. If, however, the market should go up, the company could expand operations, which would result in twice the original PV of the cash flows. To expand the company will have to make an additional capital expenditure of $800K. The CFO wants to know if the company should now proceed with the project with the added flexibilities, and asks…arrow_forward
