The Lost in Space corporation is trying to finally build a space ship that won't end up stranding everyone on it in some random part of the galaxy. To do so they are considering a new three-year project that will require an initial investment of $400 million. These initial assets will be depreciated straight-line to zero over their three-year tax life. The firm will be able to sell these assets at the end of the project for $45,250,000. The project is estimated to generate the following revenues during it's three year life: $315,485,369 in year one, $325,690,023 in year two, and $344,555,000 in year three. The firm expects that their costs will be equal to 47.75% of the projects same year revenues. They expect that project net working capital (in the form of inventory required) will be equal to 10.25% of the next year's revenue. The firms tax-rate is 21%. What are the project's cash flows from assets for years 0-3? What is the IRR on this project?

Ben is looking at a new computer system with an installed cost of $560000. This cost will be depreciated straight - line to zero over the project's five year life, at the end of which the computer system can be scrapped for $85000. The computer system will save the company $165000 per year in pretax operatiing costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $ 29000. If the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
Terry Malloy is trying to decide whether his shipping company should invest in a new boat. The new boat will cost 200,000 USD and it will be fully-depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 10-year useful life. The new boat will have no salvage value. The new boat is expected to increase EBITDA by 50,000 USD per year for 10 years. What is the IRR of this investment if the corporate income tax rate is 50 percent?
Salvage Co. is considering the purchase of a new ocean-going vessel that could potentially reduce labor costs of its operation by a considerable margin. The new ship would cost P500,000 and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method over 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the ship will have no value and will be sunk in some already polluted harbor. The Salvage Co.'s cost of capital is 12 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent. The ship produces equal annual labor cost savings over its 10-year life. What is the present value of the depreciation tax benefit of the new ship? (Round to the nearest peso.)

Your company is about to undertake a major investment project. The project will require an initial investment of $200 million in a machine plus another $35 million for working capital. Tax authorities will allow you to depreciate the machine on a straight-line basis over four years to a salvage value of zero. In fact, however, you expect that you can sell the machine for $30 million at the end of Year 4. You will need to have a working capital balance on hand at the end of each year equal to 30% of that year’s sales. The working capital can be fully recovered at the end of the project’s life. You expect that the project will generate $100 million in sales and $40 million in cash operating expenses (excluding depreciation) during each of the next four years. The corporate tax rate is 40%. The discount rate is 7.25%. What is NPV of this project?

Your firm is considering building a $594 million plant to manufacture HDTV circuitry. You expect operating profits (EBITDA) of $138 million per year for the next ten years. The plant will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over ten years (assuming no salvage value for tax purposes). After ten years, the plant will have a salvage value of $293 million (which, since it will be fully depreciated, is then taxable). The project requires $50 million in working capital at the start, which will be recovered in year ten when the project shuts down. The corporate tax rate is 35%. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. a. If the risk-free rate is 4.5%, the expected return of the market is 11.2%, and the asset beta for the consumer electronics industry is 1.71, what is the NPV of the project? b. Suppose that you can finance $475 million of the cost of the plant using ten-year, 9.1% coupon bonds sold at par. This amount is incremental new debt associated specifically with…
The Galactic Empire is considering building a new Death Star. The Empire estimates the building costs to be $1,000,000. Shipping and installation costs of $75,000 for the Death Star will be capitalized and depreciated using bonus depreciation. The Death Star has an expected life of five years (as long as Luke Skywalker doesn't blow it up), a $100,000 estimated residual value, and falls under the MACRS five-year class life. Revenue from the new Death Star is expected to be $650,000 per year and costs are expected to be $250,000 per year. The Empire has a tax rate of 25%, and expects net working capital to decrease by $100,000 at the beginning of the Death Star use. Develop a schedule of free cash flows for the project.
Your firm is considering investing in a new capital project that requires an initial investment of $800,000. This equipment will be depreciated by the straight-line over four years down to a value of zero. The machinery also has an operating life of four years. At the end of that life, you estimate it will have a salvage value of $120,000. Any gain or loss on the resell will be taxed at the firm's marginal tax rate. During the four-year life, the project should generate annual cash flows of $225,000 per year. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 22%, and it requires a return of 8.50% on projects of such risk. What is the Net Present Value of this project? [Present the answer rounded to the nearest dollar, e.g. 359462] Numeric Response

A BoxerLoi33 company is deciding to undertake a project. The project is quite profitable as it will generate net cash inflows of $20 million per year for 5 years. However, it will cause pollution to the nearby residents. The company can mitigate this pollution by investing additional 10 million at Year 0 but legally it is not compulsory for it to do so. Undertaking this project would cost $60 million without mitigation. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual cash inflows would be $22 million. The risk adjusted WACC is 12%. Calculate the IRR and NPV with and without mitigation. 2.Using Picture formula can the project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do mitigation?
