Company's required rate of return is 10%, determine the NPV.

Question 2

A project has an initial cash outlay of $16,500. Cash inﬂows are $5,200 in year 1, $6,800 in year 2, and $8,100 in year 3. What is the net present value if an 8.30% discount rate is applied to this
Project?

Accepted Answer

NPV = (-16,500/(1+0.083)^1) + (5,200/(1+0.083)^1) + (6,800/(1+0.083)^2) + (8,100/(1+0.083)^3)

NPV = -16,500/(1.083) + 5,200/1.083 + 6,800/1.083^2 + 8,100/1.083^3

NPV = -15,241.28 + 4,736.31 + 5,657.31 + 6,124.54

NPV = $1,276.88

Therefore, the net present value is $475.88 after rounding to the nearest penny.

Question 3

A project is expected to produce cash inﬂows of $6,500 for three years. What is the maximum amount that can be spent on costs to initiate this project and still consider the project as
Acceptable, given an 11% discount rate?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the maximum amount that can be spent on costs to initiate this project and still consider the project as acceptable is $15,884.15. This is calculated using the present value of the cash inflows, which is $15,884.15.

Question 4

Project A has a ﬁve-year life and an initial cost of $2,000 and annual cash ﬂows of $700 per year. Project B also has a ﬁve-year life and an initial cost of $3,000 with annual cash ﬂows of $950 per
Year. Given this information, calculate the NPV that the IRR cross-over rate provides.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Project A has a ﬁve-year life and...

Question 5

Bill plans to open a do-it-yourself dog bathing center in a storefront. The bathing equipment will cost $160,000. Bill expects the after-tax cash inﬂows to be $40,000 annually for seven years, after
Which he plans to scrap the equipment and retire to the beaches of Jamaica.
Assume the required return is 10%. What is the project's NPV?

Accepted Answer

To calculate NPV, we need to discount the cash inflows by the required return, and subtract the initial investment:

CF1 = $40,000
CF2 = $40,000
CF3 = $40,000
CF4 = $40,000
CF5 = $40,000
CF6 = $40,000
CF7 = $40,000 + $160,000 = $200,000 (includes salvage value)

NPV = - $160,000 + ($40,000 / 1.1) + ($40,000 / 1.1^2) + ($40,000 / 1.1^3) + ($40,000 / 1.1^4) + ($40,000 / 1.1^5) + ($40,000 / 1.1^6) + ($200,000 / 1.1^7)

NPV = $34,737

Therefore, the best choice is D. The project has a positive NPV of $34,737, which means that it is expected to generate value for the investors and should be undertaken.

Question 6

Project A has a ﬁve-year life and an initial cost of $1,600 and annual cash ﬂows of $600 per year. Project B also has a ﬁve-year life and an initial cost of $2,500 with annual cash ﬂows of $850 per

Question 18

A 50- year project has a cost of $500,000 and has annual cash ﬂows of $100,000 in years 1-25, and $200,000 in years 26-50. The company's required rate is 8%. Given this information, calculate the
NPV of the project.

Accepted Answer

To calculate the NPV, we need to discount the annual cash flows back to their present value and subtract the initial cost of the project. We can use the formula:

NPV = -Initial Cost + (CF1 / (1+r)^1) + (CF2 / (1+r)^2) + ... + (CFn / (1+r)^n)

where CF = Cash Flow, r = Required Rate of Return, and n = Number of Years.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

NPV = -$500,000 + ($100,000 / 1.08^1) + ($100,000 / 1.08^2) + ... + ($100,000 / 1.08^25) + ($200,000 / 1.08^26) + ($200,000 / 1.08^27) + ... + ($200,000 / 1.08^50)

Solving for NPV using a financial calculator or spreadsheet software, we get:

NPV = $879,219

Therefore, the best choice is A, with an NPV of $879,219.

Question 20

You are analyzing a project and have prepared the following data:  Based on the net present value of _____ for this project, you should _____ the project.

Accepted Answer

The net present value (NPV) is negative, indicating that the project is not generating enough value to cover its costs and provide a positive return. Therefore, the project should be rejected. Option B is the only option with a negative NPV.
