Capital rationing may be beneficial to a firm if it:

weeds out proposals with weaker or biased NPVs.

Your firm has a potential project that will cost $5,000 now to begin. The project will then generate after-tax cash flows of $444 at the end of the next three years and then $1,926 per year for the three years after that. If the discount rate is 6.66% then what is the NPV?

A company just paid $10 million for a feasibility study. If the company goes ahead with the project, it must immediately spend another $108,168,248 now, and then spend $20 million in one year. In two years it will receive $80 million, and in three years it will receive $90 million. If the cost of capital for the project is 11 percent, what is the project's NPV?

CH. 9 Projects that compete with one another so that the acceptance of one eliminates from further consideration all other projects that serve a similar function.

You are considering the following three mutually exclusive projects. The required rate of return for all three projects is 14%. Year A B C 0 $ (1,000) $(5,000) $(50,000) 1 $ 300 $ 1,700 $ 0 2 $300 $ 1,700 $15,000 3 $ 600 $1,700 $ 28,500 4 $300 $1,700 $ 33,000 What is the IRR of the best project? % terms to 2 decimal places w/o % sign

A company just paid $10 million for a feasibility study. If the company goes ahead with the project, it must immediately spend another $100 million now, and then spend $20 million in one year. In two years it will receive $80 million, and in three years it will receive $90 million. If the cost of capital for the project is 11 percent, what is the project's IRR? % terms to 2 decimal places and without the % sign.

Revenues generated by a new fad product are forecast as follows: Year Revenues 1 $41,431 2 40,000 3 20,000 4 10,000 Thereafter 0 Expenses are expected to be 50% of revenues, and working capital required in each year is expected to be 20% of revenues in the following year. The product requires an immediate investment of $40,000 in plant and equipment that will be depreciated using the straight-line method over 5 years. The firm recently spent $2,000 on a study to estimate the revenues of the new product. The tax rate is 20%. What is the operating cash flow in year 1? Answer to nearest whole dollar amount.

18,172.4

What is the NPV of a project that costs $100,000.00 and returns $50,000.00 annually for three years if the opportunity cost of capital is 8.42%?

What is the net effect on a firm's working capital if a new project requires: $38,991 increase in inventory, $31,869 increase in accounts receivable, $35,000.00 increase in machinery, and a $41,802 increase in accounts payable? Round to nearest dollar amount.

Aero Motorcycles is considering opening a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth to meet demand for a new line of solar charged motorcycles​ (who wants to ride on a cloudy day​ anyway?) The proposed project has the following​ features; ​• The firm just spent​ $300,000 for marketing study to determine consumer demand​ (@ t=0). ​• Aero Motorcycles purchased the land the factory will be built on 5 years ago for​ $2,000,000 and owns it outright​ (thatis, it does not have a​ mortgage). The land has a current market value of​ $2,600,000. ​• The project has an initial cost of​ $26,934,548 (excluding​ land, hint: land is not subject to​ depreciation). ​​• If the project is​ undertaken, the company will realize an additional​ $8,000,000 in sales over each of the next ten years.​(i.e. sales in each year are​ $8,000,000) ​• The company's operating cost​ (not including​ depreciation) will equal​ 50% of sales. ​• The company's tax rate is 35 percent. ​• Use a​ 10-year straight-line depreciation schedule. ​• At t​ = 10, the project is expected to cease being economically viable and the factory​ (including land) will be sold for ​$4,500,000 (assume land has a book value equal to the original purchase​ price). ​• The project's WACC​ = 10 percent ​• Assume the firm is profitable and able to use any tax credits​ (i.e. negative​ taxes) .0 What is the​ project's outflow at​ t=0? Answer to the nearest whole dollar value.

3.1055

Which of the following changes, if of a sufficient magnitude, could turn a negative NPV project into a positive NPV project?

A decrease in the fixed costs

A corporation is contemplating an expansion project. The CFO plans to calculate the project's NPV by discounting the relevant cash flows (which include the initial up-front costs, the operating cash flows, and the terminal cash flows) at the corporation's cost of capital (WACC). Which of the following factors should the CFO include when estimating the relevant cash flows?

Any opportunity costs associated with the project.

What are advantages of payback period?

Does not require complex calculations Does not require discount rate Measures Liquidity, Easy to communicate

It should not usually be clear whether we are describing independent or mutually exclusive projects in the following chapters because when we only describe one project then it can be assumed to be independent

False

NPV assumes intermediate cash flows are reinvested at the cost of equity, while IRR assumes that they are reinvested at the cost of capital

False

Net present value (NPV) is a sophisticated capital budgeting technique; found by adding a project's initial investment from the present value of its cash inflows discounted at a rate equal to the firm's cost of capital.

False

The disadvantages of the IRR period method is that it

Requires a lot of data (estimates of all CFs) Only works for normal cash flows Requires complex calculations

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate that equates the NPV of an investment opportunity with $0

True

Which of the following statements is correct for a project with a negative NPV?

The cost of capital exceeds the IRR

Jon Stevens, BNSF Vice President and Controller describes the capital spending process primarily as

a means to ensure regulatory compliance a balancing act that requires careful evaluation of the costs and benefits of each project

If a 20% reduction in forecast sales would not extinguish a project's profitability, then sensitivity analysis would suggest:

deemphasizing that variable as a critical factor.

According to the article, "Sunk cost fallacy: Throwing good money after bad," how can banks limit losses from bad loans?
