firm uses a single discount rate to compute the NPV of all its potential capital budgeting projects‚ even though the projects have a wide range of nondiversifiable risk. The firm then undertakes all those projects that appear to have positive NPVs. Briefly explain why such a firm would tend to become riskier over time. Using the NPV to determine which projects to undertake leads to greater risk over time because best case scenario you can estimate the NPV in advance but the actual value of the project

The NPV for the Temecula plant is $94‚826‚678 (screenshot of spreadsheet in appendix). The NPV for China mainland (offshore NPV would be close to mainland China except for initial start-up costs‚ etc..) is $90‚070‚804

Evaluate the proposal In order to evaluate the aircraft proposal we need to calculate the NPV and IRR of both the Aircraft purchasing and leasing option. Investment decisions determine the future cash flows of a company and expected future cash flows determine the value of a company. In order to calculate the NPV we first needed to get a cost of capital. We calculated the Weighted Average Cost of Capital in order to measure the firm’s cost of capital.

Should you undertake the investment opportunity? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged. NPV = 12000/1.1 – 10000=909.09. Take it! IRR = 12000/10000 – 1 = 20% The cost of capital can increase by up to 10% without changing the decision 8. You are
