Consider again the electric car dealership in Section 22.3. Suppose the current value of a dealership is $5.2 million and the first-year free cash flow is expected to be $520,000 rather than $600,000. What is the beta of a corporation whose only asset is a one-year option to open a dealership? What is the beta if the first year’s cash flows are expected to be $710,000, so a working dealership is worth $7.1 million?
Suppose a company could invest in a machine that would be able to produce $1,000,000 worth of saleable merchandise in one year, $2,000,000 for another two years then $1,000,000 for another three years. If the required rate of return for the company is 8%, what is the value of the machine's future cash flows to the company today?
The Seattle Corporation has been presented with an investment opportunity that will yield end of year cash flows of $30,000 in Year 1, $35,000 per year in years 2 and 3, $45,000 in year 4, and $50,000 in year 5. Thus investment will cost the firm $135,000 today, and the firms cost of capital is 13%. What is the firm’s NPV for this investment?

- Each of the following scenarios is independent. All cash flows are after-tax cash flows. Required: 1. Patz Corporation is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The cash benefits will be 800,000 per year. The system costs 4,000,000 and will last eight years. Compute the NPV assuming a discount rate of 10 percent. Should the company buy the new system? 2. Sterling Wetzel has just invested 270,000 in a restaurant specializing in German food. He expects to receive 43,470 per year for the next eight years. His cost of capital is 5.5 percent. Compute the internal rate of return. Did Sterling make a good decision?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_forwardYour company is planning to purchase a new log splitter for is lawn and garden business. The new splitter has an initial investment of $180,000. It is expected to generate $25,000 of annual cash flows, provide incremental cash revenues of $150,000, and incur incremental cash expenses of $100,000 annually.

- The management of Kawneer North America is considering investing in a new facility and the following cash flows are expected to result from the investment: A. What is the payback period of this uneven cash flow? B. Does your answer change if year 10s cash inflow changes to $500,000?arrow_forwardSuppose you are asked to value a small start-up company that is expected to generate a Free CashFlow of - $100 million next year, and - $50 million in the following year (year 2), before the firmturns profitable in year 3. Its first positive cash flow is equal to $2 million, and cash flows are expected to grow at a rate of 15% per year for 10 years (until year 13). Then, between year 13 and 14,the growth rate drops to 7% and stays there forever. Value the start-up company if the relevant discount rate is equal to 9%. My question is when calculating the perpetuity with a cosntant growth rate, why we muliply: 1/(1+r)^13 * E(CF_14)/0,09-0,07 Why does this make sense?arrow_forwardThe firm Lando expects cash flows in one year's time of $90 million if the economy is in a good state or $40 million if it is in a bad state. Both states are equally likely. The firm also has a debt with a face value of $65 million due in one year. Lando is considering a new project that would require an investment of $30 million today and would result in a cash flow in one year's time of $47 million in the good state of the economy or $32 million in the bad state. Investors are all risk-neutral and the risk-free rate is zero. (a) What are the expected values of the firm's equity and debt without the new project? Lando can finance the project by issuing new debt of $30 million. If the firm goes bankrupt the new debt will have a lower priority for repayment than the firm's existing debt. (b) If the new project is accepted, what will be the value of the firm's cash flow in each state after paying the original debtholders? What payment must Lando promise to…arrow_forward
- You are the financial manager in the international transportation company. The board of directors decided to buy a ship which produces year-end annual cash flows of $150,000 the first year, $200,000 the second year, $325,000 the third year, $418,000 the fourth year and 500,823 the fifth year. Assuming a weighted average cost of capital of 11 percent, what is the value of this ship using the net present value (NPV) approach?arrow_forwardOptimal corporation wants to expand their manufacturing facilities. They have two choices, first to expand the current site at a cost of $290,000 per year for two years to complete the expansion, or to sell their current site for $1.3 million and purchase a new larger facility at a cost of $900,000 in the industrial zone. a) If the annual interest rate is 8%, evaluate the cash flows for the two options described above and decide which is the most financially beneficial to the corporation? [Note: you are supposed to show every step of your calculation and interpret the resultarrow_forwardYou are considering acquiring a firm that you believe will generate cash flows of $100,000 per year for 10 years, after which you are expecting to sell it for $150,000. You will only use equity financing for this project. The beta of the firm is believed to be .75. Of course, you know these cash flows are uncertain. All these cash flows are subject to a 25% corporate tax rate. a) How much is the firm’s worth if the risk-free rate is 5% and the expected market return is 12%? Show your work. b) If the actual beta of the firm turns out to be .50, by how much will you have valued the firm incorrectly? c) If it turns out that you over-projected the cash flows by 2%, by how much will you have valued the firm incorrectly?

- You want to set up a new private business. The new business will generate a net cash inflow of $106,000 for the firm during the first year, and the cash flows are projected to grow at the rate of 4% per year forever. The project require the initial investment of $1,590,000. a) What is the NPV if the required return is 10%? b) At 10% return, should the company accept or reject the project? c) The company is unsure about the assumption of a growth rate of 4% in its cash flows. At what constent growth rate will the company break even, if it stll require a return of 10% on its investment. *Constent Growth Rate?arrow_forwardYou are the financial manager in the international transportation company.

Assuming a weighted average cost of capital of 11 percent, what is the value of this ship using the net present value (NPV) approach? 2.If the cost of ship is 1,007,500 for the company, calculate the net present value and decide on buying this ship for your company or not (Assume a weighted average cost of capital of 14 percent)?arrow_forwardA corporation is considering purchasing a machine that will save $200,000 per year before taxes. The cost of operating the machine, including maintenance, is $80,000 per year. The machine costing $150,000 will be needed for five years, after which it will have a salvage value of $25,000. A straight-line depreciation with no half-year convention applies (i.e., 20% each year). If the firm wants 15% rate of return after taxes, what is the net present value of the cash flows generated from this machine? The firm's income tax rate is 40%.(a) $137,306(b) $218,313(c) $199,460(d) $375.000arrow_forward
