CAPACITY PLANNING Real Options Analysis Practice Questions and Solutions CAPACITY PLANNING Question 1: PROJECT SABLE Use a 30% per year discount rate to evaluate Project Sable, which has two phases. You may invest in the first, in both or in neither. You may not invest in the second phase without investing in the first.  Phase 1 requires an investment of $100. One year later the project delivers on the average $120.  At that time, after the phase 1 payout has been received, you may invest

Introduction The following paper analyzes a project from financial perspectives using the capital budgeting techniques like Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Background My dad has a textile business, involved in embroidery and painting of the fabric. I have been visiting my dad’s office complex and observing the whole process of clothes manufacture. The most important asset for the business is a large machine required for whole painting process. The existing machine with

The project will be analyzed with a net present value calculation. The future cash flows will be calculated and then discounted to present day, then tabulated so that the net present value of the project is determined. This NPV will allow management to make a decision with respect to whether or not the project should be undertaken or not. Caledonia should focus on free cash flows for the project rather than accounting profit. The reason for this is that the free cash flows are the actual value

1. Given the proposed financing plan, describe your approach (qualitatively) to value AirThread. Should Ms. Zhang use WACC, APV or some combination thereof? Explain. (2 points) * From the statement of AirThread case, we know that American Cable Communication want to raise capital by Leveraged Buyout (LBO) approach. This means ACC will finance money though equity and debt to buy AirThread and pay the debt by the cash flows or assets of AirThread. * In another word, it’s a highly levered transaction

MEMORANDUM To Apex Investment Partners: According to my analysis of the Accessline’s proposed term sheet, I do not believe that Apex would serve its own interests, or those of its investing partners, by investing in Accessline according to the terms proposed. By investing at the proposed valuation, according to the proposed control and incentive structure, Apex would be shouldering a disproportionate share of the risk should Accessline fail to meet its performance targets, or require

The project has a positive net present value of $46.59 million. As such, the project should be accepted. The reasoning behind this is that the company should accept any project if the NPV is above 0. The NPV reflects value added to the company. Management, therefore, should pursue any project that adds value to the company and that means pursuing projects with a positive NPV. A positive NPV will increase shareholder wealth, and a negative NPV will reduce shareholder wealth (Baker, 2000). The dollar

The internal rate of return (IRR) and the net present value (NPV) techniques are 2 investment decision tools that satisfy the 2 major criteria for the correct evaluation of capital projects. This criterion is that the techniques should incorporate the use of cash flows and the use of the time value of money. This makes them viable techniques for evaluating investment proposals. The Net Present Value is one of the techniques that are used by firms when evaluating which investment proposals to take
