company to remain in the leisure craft market and utilize its established selling network. To determine which of the two projects are financially more pleasing we need to use calculations to determine the value of the beta‚ WACC‚ NPV and IRR. Fist we want to calculate the net working capital (NWC). The NWC turnover ratio for this new operation was expected to be 6:1.( NWC turnover = Sales/ NWC = 6/ 1 = 3‚500‚000 / NWC. Thus‚ NWC = $ 583‚333.33); then we find the project outboard’s beta is 1.377

recommendation would be the only scenario where Ocean Carriers sees a positive net present value of the investment—the investment would yield a NPV after 25 years of $977‚267. Scrapping at any year before or after 25 years would be non-optimal. Scrapping before year 20 would result in a negative NPV and scrapping after year 25 would not yield as high as the year 25 NPV. Thus‚ Ocean Carriers should invest in the new ship only if it plans on commissioning the ship for a minimum of 20 years. Assumptions

called Zinser 351 in order to save the declined sales and increase its competitive force. In deciding whether or not to invest Zinser 351‚ it is important to get the NPV and the payback period. To get the NPV and the payback period‚ we firstly need to forecast the future cash flows that the new machine will generate. We found the ten-year NPV to be $3‚171‚551 based on the FCFs that we forecast. Also‚ we use the payback period to analyze the acceptance of this project. We found that the discounted payback

recession‚ and as a result interest rates and money costs generally are relatively low. The WACC for two mutually exclusive projects that are being considered is 8%.

Financial managers must be particularly aware of the timing of cash flows (the time value of money ’) and associated risks. This financial decision-maker will use projected cash flows to determine whether acquiring Corporation A or Corporation B (i.e. NPV and IRR) is the best choice. If acquisition does not generate positive cash flow‚ the company is effectively providing finance for the acquired corporation.

level. When the cost of capital is highly estimated‚ the NPV of projects will be smaller‚ which means that the company may reject projects with positive NPV or even extremely profitable project. And only a few projects would generate an IRR greater than the cost of capital‚ which also means the company might miss profitable projects. Conversely‚ when the cost of capital is underestimated‚ more projects will have positive or large NPV and generate an IRR greater than the cost of capital‚ the
