Payback Period and Net Present Value If a project with conventional cash flows has a payback period less than the project’s life, can you definitively state the algebraic sign of the NPV? Why or why not? If you know that the discounted payback period is less than the project’s life, what can you say about the NPV? Explain. Q
You are considering developing an 18-hole championship golf course that requires an investment of $18,000,000. This investment cost includes the course development, club house, and golf carts. Once constructed, you expect the maintenance cost for the golf course to be $640,000 in the first year, $695,000 in the second year and continue to increase by $55,000 in subsequent years. The net revenue generated from selling food and beverage will be about 17% of greens fees paid by the players. The cart fee per player is $20, and 40,000 rounds of golf are expected per year. You will own and operate the course complex for 9 years and expect to sell it for $24,000,000. What is the greens fee per round that will provide a return on investment of 17%? Assume that the greens fee will be increased at an annual rate of 6%.
The greens fee that will provide a return on investment of 17% is _____ per round. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Suppose that you plan to retire at 65. You invest $8,000 per year on your birthday for 10 years starting on your 25th and ending on your 34th birthday. Since you are young, you take more risks with your investments, and earn a rate of return of 12%. Then, you have children and decide to put all your retirement savings into investing in a college fund for them. You leave all accumulated funds in the retirement account, and it earns 6% per year, reflecting an (unwise) rise in caution during middle age. How much money will you have to retire on at 65 (31 years after you stop contributing)

- Suppose that a new machine tool having a useful life of only one year costs $80,000. Suppose, also, that the net additional revenue resulting from buying this tool is expected to be $92,000.

Based on this information alone, should Limitless Ltd. make the investment? Why? Would this decision be consistent with that from B? Explain your reasoning. Suppose that, instead of paying the initial £500,000 now, Limitless Ltd. decides to pay it in equal instalments over the next 10 years. How much would the company need to pay each year to make all these payments equivalent to £500,000 today? Now assume that an alternative project would generate immediate (time zero) net profits of £500,000 upfront, but after that, it would result in annual losses of £120,000 over the next five years, and then the annual losses of £60,000 over the following five years.

- By outbidding its competitors, Turbo Image Processing (TIP), a defense contractor, has received a contract worth $7,300,000 to build navy flight simulators for U.S. Navy pilot training over two years. For some defense contracts, the U.S. government makes an advance payment when the contract is signed, but in this case, the government will make two progressive payments: $4,300,000 at the end of the first year and the $3.000,000 balance at the end of the second year. The expected cash outflows required in order to produce these simulators are estimated to be $1,000,000 now, $2.000,000 during the first year, and $4,320,000 during the second year. The expected net cash flows from this project are summarized as follows: In normal situations, TIP would not even consider a marginal project such as this one in the first place. However, hoping that TIP can establish itself as a technology leader in the field. management felt that it was worth outbidding its competitors by providing the lowest…arrow_forwardAssume r = 0.1 is the present real interest rate and this rate is expected to prevail for the next 2 years.
