Asnwer the following:
B. Assume the study period is shortened to Five years. The market value of Alternative B after Five years is estimated to be $15,000. Which alternative would you recommend? Use Annual Worth method
Parker Hannifin of Cleveland, Ohio manufactures CNG fuel dispensers. It needs replacement equipment to streamline one of its production lines for a new contract, but plans to sell the equipment at or before its expected life is reached at an estimated market value for used equipment. Select between the two options using the corporate MARR of 15% per year and a future worth analysis for the expected use period. Also, write the FV spreadsheet functions that will display the correct future worth values. Option D E First cost, $ −62,000 −77,000 AOC, $ per year −15,000 −21,000 Expected market value, $ 8,000 10,000 Expected use, years 3 6

- Assume that you paid $11 million for rights to develop land with oil under the ground. It costs $5 million to develop the site and pump the oil into tankers for shipment. The crude oil in the tankers is worth $20 per barrel. The site is estimate to be able to produce 1 million barrels over its life. If the site is developed in a year rather than immediately, the value per barrel is likely to increase to $25. What is the intrinsic value of the option today?arrow_forwardLeonard, a company that manufactures explosionproof motors, is considering two alternatives for expanding its international export capacity. Option 1 requires equipment purchases of $900,000 now and $560,000 two years from now, with annual M&O costs of $79,000 in years 1 through 10. Option 2 involves subcontracting some of the production at costs of $280,000 per year beginning now through the end of year 10. Neither option will have a significant salvage value. Use a present worth analysis to determine which option is more attractive at the company’s MARR of 20% per year.

- Brewster's is considering a project with a life of 5 years, an initial cost of $150,000, and a discount rate of 10 percent. The firm expects to sell 2,400 units a year at a cash flow per unit of $25. The firm will have the option to abandon this project after three years at which time it could sell the project for $40,000. At what level of sales should the firm be willing to abandon this project at the end of the third year?Answer in Excel Pleasearrow_forwardBunnings Ltd is considering to invest in one of the two following projects to buy a new equipment. Each equipment will last 5 years and have no salvage value at the end. The company’s required rate of return for all investment projects is 8%. The cash flows of the projects are provided in the image. Required: a) Identify which option of equipment should the company accept based on Profitability Index? b) Identify which option of equipment should the company accept based on discounted pay back method if the payback criterion is maximum 2 years?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
- Redbird Company is considering a project with an initial investment of $265,000 in new equipment that will yield annual net cash flows of $45,800 each year over its seven-year life. The companys minimum required rate of return is 8%. What is the internal rate of return? Should Redbird accept the project based on IRR?arrow_forwardPilipinas-Shell, Inc. is contemplating whether to drill for oil source on a tract of land that the company had purchased 10 years ago. The investment required for this project is PhP450.0 million. If the project is pursued, it is expected to bring in cash flows of PhP215.0 million annually for the next four years. With the limited market information available to support the financial forecast, the firm is considering of waiting 2 years before implementing the project until more reliable geology information as well as oil prices be made available. If the firm opt to wait for 2 years, the project will cost PhP600.0 million then cash flows will be expected to continue for 4 years after the initial investment. In addition, if the firm waits for 2 years, there is only 95% chance that expected cash flows will be at PhP220.0 million annually for 4 years. Contrary, there is the 5% chance that the cash flows will be at PhP120.0 million annually for 4 years.

(Do not round intermediate calculations and After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $26.2 million. If the estimates of remaining cash flows are revised based on the first year’s experience, at what level of expected cash flows does it make sense to abandon the project?arrow_forward
- Abbott Mining Systems wants to determine whether it should buy now or buy later for upgrading a piece of equipment used in deep mining operations. If the company selects plan N, the equipment will be purchased now for $200,000. However, if the company selects plan L, the purchase will be deferred for 3 years when the cost is expected to rise rapidly to $340,000. Abbott is ambitious; it expects a real MARR of 12% per year. The inflation rate in the country has averaged 6.75% per year. From only an economic perspective, determine whether the company should purchase now or later (a) when inflation is not considered and (b) when inflation is considered.arrow_forwardQuestion: Gasworks, Inc., has been approached to sell up to 2.4 million gallons of gasoline in three months at a price of $2.40 per gallon.
