For the given cash flows, suppose the firm uses the NPV decision rule. Year Cash Flow 0 −$ 149,000 1 67,000 2 72,000 3 56,000 At a required return of 8 percent, what is the NPV of the project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. At a required return of 21 percent, what is the NPV of the project? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.

- 7. An investment is expected to produce the cash flows of $15,000, $13,000, and $18,000 at the end of the next three years. If the required rate of return is 17.5%, the present value of this investment is closest to: A. $31,223. B. $32,648. C. $33,277. 8. Given an 8.5% discount rate, an asset that generates cash flows of $100 in Year 1, -$200 in Year 2, $-100 in Year 3, and is then sold for $1,500 at the end of Year 4, has a present value of: A. $906.35. B. $926.35. C. $1,024.22. Please provide an accurate answer.arrow_forwardNPV Your division is considering two projects with the following cash flows (in millions): a. What are the projects’ NPVs assuming the WACC is 5%? 10%? 15%?b. What are the projects’ IRRs at each of these WACCs?c. If the WACC was 5% and A and B were mutually exclusive, which project would you choose? What if the WACC was 10%? 15%? (Hint: The crossover rate is 7.81%.)arrow_forwardPresent value (LO9-4) 4. You will receive $6,800 three years from now. The discount rate is 10 percent. a. What is the value of your investment two years from now?

- Q11. Schneeberger, Inc. is considering investing in one of two alternatives for increasing the acceleration of its linear motor actuators. The first, alternative X, requires an initial investment of $165,000 and its cash flows exhibit an annual rate of return of i*x = 25%. The second, alternative Y, requires an initial investment of $150,000 and its cash flows have an annual rate of return of i*Y = 15%. Schneeberger’s MARR is 20% per year. Answer the following questions; (a) Will the rate of return on the incremental investment in X be larger or smaller than i*X? (b) What is the expected i*X-Y? The rate of return on the increment is (Click to select) greater than less than 25% per year. The expected i*X-Y is %.arrow_forwardTrue or False Assume that the riskfree rate of return is 5% p.a. and that an investment project costs $150,000 and is expected to generate a risky net cash flow next year of $180,000. The project is acceptable as its internal rate of return exceeds the riskfree rate of return.arrow_forward3. Compute the payback for each of the cash flows in problem 1.

The project will generate only one future payment of $168 million at the end of the first year. The cost of capital is 8% . What is the IRR for the project?

The likelihood of the upturn is 45%. The project requires a capital outlay of $40,000, its cost of capital is 11% and the risk-free interest rate is 5%. (i)What is the NPV for this project? (ii) The firm undertaking the project decides to fully cover the outlay via borrowing at the risk-free rate. What is the cash flow the equity holders will receive in one year in each state? What is the cost of capital and the value of the firm's levered equity from the project?arrow_forward
