Limited Corporation is looking to replace a machine that is expected to increase productivity and, thereby, revenue. The cost of the machine is $100,000. Revenue is expected to increase by $20,000 in the first year, $50,000 in the second year, and $80,000 in the third year. After the third year, the company plans substitute the machine with a higher performance one. The alternative to this investment is to buy $100,000 in risky corporate bonds that currently yield 10% annually. Explain the feasibility of this project by computing the NPV.

- A corporation is trying to decide whether to buy the patent for a productdesigned by another company. The decision to buy will require an investment of $8 million, and the demand for the product is not known. If demand is light, the company expects a return of $1.3 million each year for three years. If the demand is moderate, the return will be $2.5 million each year for four years, and high demand will mean a return of $4 million each year for four years. It is estimated that the probability of high demand is 0.4 and the probability of a light demand is 0.2. The firm's interest rate (risk-free) is 12%. Calculate the expected present worth of the investment. On this basis, should the company make the investment? (All figures represent after-tax values.)Fountain Corporation’s economists estimate that a good business environment and a bad business environment are equally likely for the coming year. The managers of the company must choose between two mutually exclusive projects. Assume that the project the company chooses will be the firm’s only activity and that the firm will close one year from today. The company is obligated to make a $5,300 payment to bondholders at the end of the year. The projects have the same systematic risk but different volatilities.

The system costs $50,000 to purchase and install and $32,000 to operate each year. The system is estimated to be useful for 4 years. Management expects the new system to reduce the cost of managing inventories by $58,000 per year. The firm’s cost of capital (discount rate) is 11%. a.The firm is not yet profitable and therefore pays no income taxes. b.The firm is in the 26% income tax bracket and uses straight-line (SLN) depreciation with no salvage value.

- An oil and gas company wants to decide whether to initiate a new project. The success of the project depends heavily on the state of the economy, which has a 50/50 chance of being strong enough to support the venture. The project will require an initial investment of $1 Billion dollars, and the company expects to earn $500 Millions in annual revenues from the project—unless the economy goes into recession, in which case the project will return only $100 Millions per year. The company requires a 17% return on its investments. Should it undertake the project? If the company decides to wait a year, the economy has a 75% chance of improving sufficiently to ensure $500 Millions in annual returns. Does it make sense to wait for a year before making the investment? Use the options model approach to project evaluation to answer these two questions.You are the CFO of a small company devoted to the production of discount hard disks. Given the information you have, your current estimate for the value of the existing assets-in-place for your company is $10m. You have spotted a new investment project which costs $2m and has expected earnings of $.6m a year in perpetuity, starting one year from now. The risk adjusted discount rate appropriate for this project is 20%. You have no cash, and you plan to finance this project by issuing new equity in a general cash offer. At the present time the marketplace is not aware of this project, and it is less optimistic than you on the value of the existing assets-in-place at your company. In fact, the market currently evaluates your company at only $8m. On the other hand, when presented with the project the market will agree with your estimates of future earnings for the project. The only disagreement will be on the value of your already existing assets-in-place. Disregard all taxes. a) Should…Ang Electronics, Incorporated, has developed a new mesh network. If successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $34.9 million. If the mesh network fails, the present value of the payoff is $12.9 million. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 50 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $1.39 million to test market the mesh network. Test marketing would allow the firm to improve the product and increase the probability of success to 80 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. Calculate the NPV of going directly to market and the NPV of test marketing before going to market.
