What is an appropriate discount rate? Does the net present value (NPV) warrant the investment in the machine? Assume that with ordinary maintenance‚ the semi-automated equipment could be operated for two more years beyond its depreciable life.

The projects are independent. The cash outlay for the truck is $17‚100 and that for the pulley system is $22‚430. The firm’s cost of capital is 14%.

be sold at this value. B – In this case it is best for the company to use the option to the land acquisition. By calculating the NPV the option is worth $-852‚093.66. Buying the land without the option would bring the company back to $-900‚000.00. We used a discount rate of 6%‚ as this is linked with the appreciation of the land annually. The calculation of the NPV can be found in Appendix A. Question 2 A – The R&D cash flows are $48‚000 annually for the years 1998‚ 1999 and 2000. In 1996

First I would calculate the NPV and the IRR. If the NPV is higher then the return on the capital market‚ the project is profitable. The IRR shows me the discount rate that puts the NPV to zero. It could also be explained as the break-even point. Additionally the company could get a “Good As New” service contract for $500 a year. The machine would then produce cash flows of $4‚500 per year. I would again calculate the NPV with the new cash flow. If the NPV is higher then the return on the

In this report‚ I will specifically focus on analyses of the project’s free cash flows (FCFs)‚ weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and net present value (NPV). With a sensitivity analysis‚ it can help us to observe how change in some key project variables would make the project stronger and weaker. This report can provide efficient information for Hansson to evaluate the potential value of this investment
