Chapter 8, Problem 5P
Table 8.1 Spreadsheet HomeNet’s Incremental Earnings
5. After looking at the projections of the HomeNet project, you decide that they are not realistic. It is unlikely that sales will be constant over the four-year life of the project. Furthermore, other companies are likely to offer competing products, so the assumption that the sales price will remain constant is also likely to be optimistic. Finally, as production ramps up, you anticipate lower per unit production costs resulting from economies of scale. Therefore, you decide to redo the projections under the following assumptions: Sales of 50,000 units in year 1 Increasing by 50,000 units per year over the life of the project, a year 1 sales price of $260/unit, decreasing by 10% annually and a year 1 cost of $120/ unit decreasing by 20% annually. In addition, new tax laws allow you to
- a. Keeping the other assumptions that underlie Table 8.1 the same, recalculate unlevered net income (that is, reproduce Table 8.1 under the new assumptions, and note that we are ignoring cannibalization and lost rent).
- b. Recalculate unlevered net income assuming, in addition, that each year 20% of sales comes from customers who would have purchased an existing Cisco router for $100/unit and that this router costs $60/unit to manufacture.

1 Scenario AnalysisShao Industries is considering a proposed project for its capital budget. Thecompany estimates the project’s NPV is $12 million. This estimate assumesthat the economy and market conditions will be average over the next fewyears. The company’s CFO, however, forecasts there is only a 50% chancethat the economy will be average. Recognizing this uncertainty, she has alsoperformed the following scenario analysis:
Economic Scenario Probability of Outcome NPVRecession 0.05 -$70 millionBelow average 0.20 -25 millionAverage 0.50 12 millionAbove average 0.20 20 millionBoom 0.05 30 millionWhat are the project’s expected NPV, standard deviation,…
4) A project is predicted to have a return of -£16m in a recession, and the probability of a recession is estimated to be 0.25. In a growth period the return would be 16m (with probability 0.50) and in a boom the return would be £24m (with probability 0.25). What is the expected return?
A) £24m
B) £50m
C) £10m
D) £80m
Ch 7. Decision Trees. For questions 12 and 13, please use the following information:
Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new DVDR. If the DVDR is successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $28.6 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $10.2 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 40 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.42 million to test market the DVDR. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 70 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent.
Calculate the NPV of test marketing before going to market.

Scenario B: GDP will stagnate. S&P ETF will stay at 407. Scenario C: GDP will fall 2%. This will send the S&P ETF to 400.

Project Analysis You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $1.675 million, have a four-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 195 units per year; price per unit will be $16,300; variable cost per unit will be $9,400; and fixed costs will be $550,000 per year. The required return on the proiect is 12 percent and the relevant tax rate is 21 percent. a.

- ASAP!! The most likely outcomes for a particular project are estimated as follows: Unit price: $50 Variable cost: $30 Fixed cost: $300,000 Expected sales: 30,000 units per year However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 12 percent higher or 12 percent lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 5 years and requires an initial investment of $1 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm’s tax rate is 35 percent and the required rate of return is 12 percent. What is project NPV in the “best-case scenario,” that is, assuming all variables take on the best possible value? What about the worst-case scenario?arrow_forwardQuestion 31 RWJ 9-8 MC Given the forecast cash flows of the Covina Donuts, what is the profitability index for assuming a discount rate of 14.50?
