Ch. 6. Pencil and Paper, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $1.37 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 3-year tax life, after which it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $1,255,000 in annual sales, with costs of $435,000. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 10 percent. What is the project’s NPV?
(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)

Calculating Flotation Costs [LO4] Suppose your company needs $24 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .75. The flotation cost for new equity is 7 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 3 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small.a. What do you think about the rationale behind borrowing the entire amount?b. What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally?
Q5. A physics lab is considering leasing a diagnostic scanner that costs $5,800,000, and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for four years. Assume tax rate is 21% for the leasing company (lessor) and zero for the lab. The cost of borrowing is 8%. Over what range of lease payments will the lease be profitable for both lessee and lessor?

The sequesters last for only 1 year until saturated with carbon. Then the carbon is removed and sold. (O LO4) a. Suppose the government guarantees the price of carbon. At this price, the payoff after 1 year is guaranteed to be $115,000. How would you determine the opportunity cost of capital for this investment? b. Suppose instead that the sequestered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange. Carbon prices have been extremely volatile, but Pollution Busters' CFO learns that average rates of return from investment on that exchange have been about 20%. She thinks this is a reasonable forecast for the future. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case?

Morin Construction Company needs to borrow $100,000 to help finance the cost of a new $150,000 hydraulic crane used in the firm's commercial construction business. The crane will pay for itself in one year, and the firm is considering the following alternatives for financing its purchase: Alternative A. The firm's bank has agreed to lend the $100,000 at a rate of 14 percent. Interest would be discounted, and a 15 percent compensating balance would be required. However, the compensating-balance requirement is not binding on the firm because it normally maintains a minimum demand deposit (checking account) balance of $25,000 in the bank. Alternative B. The equipment dealer has agreed to finance the equipment with a 1-year loan. The $100,000 loan requires payment of principal and interest totaling $116,300. a.

- Q14. Without an abandonment option, a project is worth $15 million today. Suppose the value of the project is either $20 million one year from today (if product demand is high) or $10 million (if product demand is low). It is possible to sell off the project for $14 million if product demand is poor.

Several possible scenarios exist for future cash flows, as follows. 1. Construction costs of $500,000; steady sales and costs each year, netting to an annual operating cash inflow of $70,000; the expansion would have no salvage value at the end of its 10-year useful life (the building would be repurposed for a different product).2. Construction costs of $500,000; rising and then falling net cash flows each year for 10 years, as follows: $50,000 for the first 2 and last 2 years, $175,000 for years 3–5, and $100,000 for years 6–8.3. Construction costs of $700,000; no cash flows in year 1, $75,000 in years 2 and 3, $150,000 in year 4, $100,000 in years 5–8, and $50,000 in the last 2 years.Required 1.

The machine’s cost is $837,500 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $252,500 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule. 2. Determine the NPV of the project. 3. Determine the IRR of the project. 4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year. 5.
