The capital investment cost for a switchgrass-fueled ethanol plant with a capacity of 250,000 gallons per year is $2,000,000. Th

e costcapacity factor for this particular plant technology is 0.67 for capacities ranging from 200,000 gallons per year to 500,000 gallons per year. What is the estimated capital investment for a similar ethanol plant with a capacity of 400,000 gallons per year? Please only fill in the number of your calculated result in the blank, e.g., if the result is $100, fill in "100"; also round to the nearest integer.

Answer:

$2,740,251.24

Explanation:

Applying power sizing technique or an exponential model to determine the cost of new boiler.

This model identify the cost variation along with change in capacity or power of the equipment.

\frac{C_{A} }{C_{B} } =(\frac{S_{A}}{S_{B}})^{x}

Where,

Cb = Cost of new plant

Sa = capacity of new plant

Sb = capacity of old plant

x = cost capacity factor

Therefore,

\frac{C_{A}}{2,000,000} =(\frac{400,000}{250,000})^{0.67}

C_{A}=2,000,000\times\frac{400,000}{250,000}

               = 2,000,000 × 1.3701

               = $2,740,251.24

The Seattle Corporation has an investment opportunity that will yield cash flows of $30,000 per year in Years 1 through 4, $35,0
zlopas [31]

Answer:

4.86 years

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cash flow each year from year 1 to year 4 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 5 through 9 = $35,000

Cash flow in year 10 = $40,000

Initial investment = $150,000

Firm's WACC = 10%

Now,

Accumulated cash flow for 4 years = $30,000 × 4 = $120,000

Accumulated Cash flow for 5 years = $120,000 + $35,000

= $155,000 > amount invested ($150,000)

Thus,

Remaining payback amount required in year 5 = $150,000 - $120,000

= $30,000

Payback period for $30,000 in year 5 = [$30,000 ÷ Annual cash flow]

= $30,000 ÷ $35,000

= 0.86 years

Hence,

Total payback period for this investment is

= 4 years + 0.86 years

= 4.86 years

A potential investor is seeking to invest $500,000 in a venture, which currently has 1,000,000 million shares held by its founde
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a, 15%

b, 150,000

c, $ 3.30

d, = $3,333,333.33

e, $3,833,333.33

Explanation:

To solve this,

Note that we have been given a similar venture to compare to our venture.

The total shareholder's equity for the other venture (P) = $10,000,000 and the net income (E) = $1,000,000

Hence, Price/Earnings (P/E) for other venture = 10,000,000/1,000,000 = 10.0

Now for our venture, Earnings in the 5th year = $500,000

Assuming that P/E ratio for both the ventures to be equal, P/500,000 = 10.0

hence, total shareholder's value for our venture = $5,000,000 --------------- (1)

Now the investor invested $500,000 and expected 50% return after 5 years, hence the investor's value after 5 years would be equal to 500,000 * (1+50%) = $750,000 --------------- (2)

Now percent ownership of venture given to investor = (Value of investor's investment after 5 years/total value of all shareholders after 5 years)

Hence, divide (2) by (1)

percent ownership of venture given to investor = 750,000/5,000,000 = 0.15

or 15%

Therefore Answer to part 'a' is = 15%

Part (b) :For the percentage ownership given to new investor = 15%, total number of shares = 1,000,000

Hence, number of shares issued to new investor = 15% x 1,000,000 = 150,000

Hence, answer to part b = 150,000

Part (c): Amount invested by new investor = $500,000 and number of shares issued to him = 150,000

hence issue price of share = Amount invested / Number of shares issued

= 500,000/150,000 = $3.33

Hence, issue price per share = $3.33

Part (d):

The Pre money valuation is the value of the company before any external funding. In this case, the number of shares held with the founders before the new investor = 1,000,000 and the equity price = $3.33

hence, Value of the venture = 3.33 * 1,000,000 = $3,333,333.33

Hence, pre money valuation of the venture = $3,333,333.33

Part (e): Post money valuation of a company is the value of the company after external funding. In this case, investor invests $500,000 to the venture increasing the value of the company by the same amount.

Hence post money valuation = pre money valuation + Investment

= 3,333,333.33 + 500,000

= 3,833,333.33

Hence, post-money valuation of the venture = $3,833,333.33
