Growth Opportunities Burklin, Inc., has earnings of $21 million and is projected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent forever because of the benefits gained from the learning curve. Currently, all earnings are paid out as dividends. The company plans to launch a new project two years from now that would be completely internally funded and require 30 percent of the earnings that year. The project would start generating revenues one year after the launch of the project and the earnings from the new project in any year are estimated to be constant at $6.7 million. The company has 7.5 million shares of stock outstanding. Estimate the value of the stock. The discount rate is 10 percent.

The new product is expected to produce annual revenues of 2,700,000. Producing the printer requires an investment in new equipment costing 2,880,000. The printer has a projected life cycle of 5 years. After 5 years, the equipment can be sold for 360,000. Working capital is also expected to increase by 360,000, which Talmage will recover by the end of the new products life cycle. Annual cash operating expenses are estimated at 1,620,000. The required rate of return is 8%. Required: Prepare a schedule of the projected annual cash flows. Calculate the NPV using only discount factors from Exhibit 12B.1 (p. 670). Calculate the NPV using discount factors from both Exhibits 12B.1 and 12B.2 (p. 671).arrow_forwardHS Shipping wants to expand as soon as it can save $112 million.

Total fixed assets are $4,100,000 per year. Variable costs will be $215, and units will sell for $335 each. The company will need to purchase equipment for $15,000,000 which will be depreciated as a seven-year MACRS property. In five years, the equipment can be sold for $3,500,000.

- We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 8,800 units per year at $191 net cash flow apiece (including CCA) for the next 16 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $191 × 8,800 = $1,680,800. The relevant discount rate is 10%, and the initial investment required is $5,590,000. Suppose you think it is likely that expected sales will be revised upward to 9,550 units if the first year is a success a. If success and failure are equally likely, what is the NPV of the project? Consider the possibility of abandonment in answering. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) NPV $ b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $2,846,000. What is the value of the option to abandon? (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.
