Suppose Omni Consumer Products's CFO is evaluating a project with the following cash inflows. She does not know the project's initial cost; however, she does know that the project's regular payback period is 2.5 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 $400,000 Year 3 $475,000 Year 4 $475,00 If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 9%, what is its NPV? $373,562 $336,206 $317,528 $429,596

You are asked to evaluate ergonomic interventions for your company based on the following projections: Decreased annual Workers' Compensation costs: $13,060 Increased annual production: $17,501 Initial purchase costs: $4,561 If you have an expectation of 3.75% interest over a 6-year period, what would you calculate the multiplier for the Worker's Comp equivalence calculation to be if you're asked to evaluate the future worth over the life of the project?
NPVs and IRRs for Mutually Exclusive Projects Davis Industries must choose between a gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $21,500, whereas the gas-powered truck will cost $17,960. The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 13%. The life for both types of truck is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $6,860 per year, and those for the gas-powered truck will be $4,600 per year. Annual net cash flows include depreciation expenses. Calculate the NPV and IRR for each type of truck, and decide which to recommend. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the monetary values to the nearest dollar and percentage values to two decimal places.…
Net present value (NPV) of the project =Single payoff x PVIAF (10.20%, 9 years) - initial outlay = $6,947 x 0.42340 - $2,182 = $759.39 What's the equation for the bolded item?
A company is considering purchasing equipment costing $70,000. The equipment is expected to reduce costs from year 1 to 3 by $7,000, year 4 to 8 by $10,000, and in year 9 by $6,000. In year 9, the equipment can be sold at a salvage value of $15,000. Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for this proposal. ..... The internal rate of return is %. %6. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
Buhler Industries is a farm implement manufacturer. Management is currently evaluating a proposal to build a plant that will manufacture lightweight tractors. Buhler plans to use a cost of capital of 12% to evaluate this project. Based on extensive research, it has prepared the following incomplete incremental free cash flow projections (in millions of dollars): Free Cash Flow ($000,000s) Revenues - Manufacturing expenses (other than depreciation) - Marketing expenses - CCA = EBIT - Taxes (35%) = Unlevered net income + CCA Increases in net working capital - Capital expenditures + Continuation value = Free cash flow Year 0 Years 1-9 Year 10 103.00 - 32.00 - 9.00 ? ? ? ? ? - 5.00 - 144.00 103.00 - 32.00 - 9.00 ? ? ? ? ? - 5.00 ? 10.00 ? - 144.00 The relevant CCA rate for the capital expenditures is 15%. Assume assets are never sold. a. For this base-case scenario, what is the NPV of the plant to manufacture lightweight tractors? b. Based on input from the marketing department, Buhler is…
You have agreed to make investment in your friends agricultural farm. This would require an amount of $20,000 as initial investment on your part. Your friend promises you revenue (before expenses) of $3600 per year the first year and thereafter the revenue increases by $200 per year. Your share of the estimated annual expenses is $1000. You are planning to invest for six years. Your friend has made the commitment to buyout your share of the business at that time for $24000. You have decided to set a personal MARR of 15% per year. Judge the profitability of the investment project by using Future Worth (FW) method.
An integrated, combined cycle power plant produces 285 MW of electricity by gasifying coal. The capital investment for the plant is $450 million, spread evenly over two years. The operating life of the plant is expected to be 18 years. Additionally, the plant will operate at full capacity 76% of the time (downtime is 24% of any given year). The MARR is 10% per year. a. If this plant will make a profit of two cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity sold to the power grid, what is the simple payback period of the plant? Is it a low-risk venture? b. What is the IRR for the plant? Is it profitable? a. The simple payback period of the plant is years. (Round up to one decimal place.) It's a venture. b. The IRR for the plant is%.
