- Q14. Without an abandonment option, a project is worth $15 million today. Suppose the value of the project is either $20 million one year from today (if product demand is high) or $10 million (if product demand is low). It is possible to sell off the project for $14 million if product demand is poor. Calculate the value of the abandonment option if the discount rate is 5 percent per year (in million, for illustration, if the answer is $21,553,100, then you should answer 21.5531)arrow_forwardQuestion 8 You are making a $100,000 investment and feel that a 10 percent rate of return is reasonable given the nature of the risks involved. You feel you will receive $50,000 in the first year, $55,000 in the second year, and $60,000 in the third year. You expect to pay out $65,000 as an additional investment in the fourth year. Can you accept this project? What is the main reason why? Group of answer choices No, the cash flows are unconventional No, the IRR is less than the required rate No, the NPV is -$8,407.90 Yes, the IRR is greater than the required rate Yes, the NPV is $80,383.85arrow_forwardQ11. 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_forward

Project B requires an initial investment of $5000, and will yield $1,500 of cash inflows for the next five years. The required return on each project is 10%.

Your target debt-equity ratio is .75. The flotation cost for new equity is 7 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 3 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small.a. What do you think about the rationale behind borrowing the entire amount?b. What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally?arrow_forward

The investment will produce cash flows of $450,000 in year 1, $270,000 in years 2, 3 and 4, and $200,000 in year 5. The discount rate that your firm uses for projects of this type is 10%. How much would the NPV change if discount rate increases to 14%? ($45,813) $53,373 ($95,214) $102,774arrow_forwardUrgent need pls Your firm is considering a project with a discount rate of 12%. If you start the project today, your firm will incur an initial cost of $480 and will receive cash inflows of $320 per year for 3 years with the first cashflow occurring one year from today. If you instead wait one year to start the project, the initial cost one year from today will rise to $520 and the cash flows will increase to $375 a year for the following 3 years with the first positive cashflow occurring two years from today. Would your firm be better off starting the project now or waiting to start the project in one year? What is the VALUE of the option to wait? Explain your answer clearly, including the NPVs of the two choices.arrow_forward
- 7. The NPV and payback period What information does the payback period provide? Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project’s net present value (NPV). You don’t know the project’s initial cost, but you do know the project’s regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 $450,000 Year 3 $500,000 Year 4 $500,000 If the project’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 8%, the project’s NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: $470,812 $449,412 $513,613 $428,011 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The payback period does not take the time value of money into account.
