Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

  • The complete present value calcuation is below.

  • The net present value of this project is: $77,930.58 (assuming a value for the sale of the business equal to the purchase price).

Explanation:

For this problem, the first and basic question is:

  • <em>Prepare a net present value calculation for this project. What is the net present value of this project?</em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

The net present value is equal to: the present value of the future cash flows less present value of the investements.

<u>1. Present value of the future cash flows:</u>

The discount factor is equal to 1 / [1 + (1 + r)ⁿ]

Where:

  • r = 5% = 0.05
  • n = the number of year

Year     Cash flow     Discount factor     Present value

1            $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)             $30,000/1.05 = $28,571.43

2           $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)²           $30,000/(1.05)² = $27,210.88

3           $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)³           $30,000/(1.05)³ = $25,915.13

4           $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)⁴           $30,000/(1.05)⁴ = $24,681.07

5           $30,000       1/(1 + 0.05)⁵           $30,000/(1.05)⁵ = $23,505.78

5           $240,000*   1/(1 + 0.05)⁵           $240,000/(1.05)⁵ = $188,046.28

*For the year 5 you must also consider the value of the business, which is unknow. You should have some information about it. Although unrealistic, at this stage we can just assume a value: let's say it is the same purchase price: $240,000. That is what the last line shows:

The discount the value of the value of the business is:

  • $240,000 / (1.05)⁵ = $188,046.28

The total present value of the future cash flows is the sum of the present values of all the cash flows:

$28,571.43 + $27,210.88 + $25,915.13 + $24,681.07 + $23,505.78 + $188,046.28 = $317,930.58

<u>2. Calculate the net present value:</u>

  • Net present value =

                     = Total present value of future cash flows - investment

  • Net present value = $317,930.58 - $240,000 = $77,930.58

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A business received an offer from an exporter for 10,000 units for $13.50 per unit.

Unit manufacturing costs:

Variable 12

<u>Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.</u>

Effect on income= number of units*unitary contribution margin

Effect on income= 10,000*(13.5 - 12)

Effect on income= $15,000 increase

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Sell 33 contracts

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Price of yellow corn = 95% of red corn

Bushels grows = 156,750

So, yellow corn bushels = 156,750 × (1 ÷ 95%)

= 165,000

So, number of contracts sell = 165,000 ÷ 5,000

= 33 contracts.

Hence, the farmer Brown should sell 33 contracts to hedge his position.
