Johnson Chemicals is considering an investment project. The project requires an initial $3 million outlay for equipment and machinery. Sales are projected to be $1.5 million per year for the next four years. The equipment will be fully depreciated straight-line by the end of year 4. Cost of goods sold and operating expense (not including depreciation) are predicted to be 30% of sales. The equipment can be sold for $800,000 at the end of year 4. Johnson Chemicals also needs to add net working capital of $100,000 immediately. The net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the fourth year. Assume the tax rate is 40% and the cost of capital is 10%.What is the NPV of this investment?

HM Company is contemplating a new project that demands a $5 million investment in plant and machinery. Sales forecasts for the project indicate $2 million in the first year, $4 million in the second year, and $6 million in the third year. Future sales are expected to increase at a rate matching the anticipated inflation of 10%. The project involves scrapping the plant after 6 years, with an estimated salvage value of $1 million. Tax-related depreciation follows a straight-line pattern at $1 million per year. Cost of goods is projected to be 70% of sales, and working capital needs are minimal. The company is subject to a 35% tax rate.
a) Compute the projected cash flows for each year and determine the Net Present Value (NPV) of the investment, assuming a required rate of return of 16%.
b) Reassess the calculations, this time analyzing the project in real terms rather than nominal terms. Discount the cash flows using an estimated real rate of approximately 5.45%.
Monroe Printing is evaluating the pamphlet project. The project would require an initial investment of $73,300.00 that would be depreciated to $12,300.00
over 4 years using straight-line depreciation. The first annual operating cash flow of $18,000.00 is expected in 1 year, and annual operating cash flows of
$18,000.00 are expected each year forever. Monroe Printing expects the project to have an after-tax terminal value of $108,700.00 in 3 years. The tax rate is
22.80%. What is X, the project's relevant expected cash flow for NPV analysis in year 3?
$83,916.40 (plus or minus $10)
$108,700.00 (plus or minus $10)
$101,916.40 (plus or minus $10)
$126,700.00 (plus or minus $10)
None of the above is within $10 of the correct answer

- The 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?

- Water's Edge Resorts is evaluating a project that would require an initial investment in equipment of $498,000.00 and that is expected to last for 4 years.
