Barton Steel is considering the purchase of a new steel mill. The first option is a top of the line high efficiency mill with a

cost of $25 million. This mill will generate cash flows of $10 million per year for the next six years. At the end of the sixth year, Barton will have to reclaim the land under the new mill at a cost of $15 million. The second option is an economy mill that will generate $4 million in cash flows for the next six years, but require no land reclamation. This mill costs $12 million.

Answer:

The first project should be chosen

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

To determine which project to accept, calculate the NPV for the two projects

The first option

Cash flow in year 0 = $-25 million

Cash flow each year for year 1 - 5 = $10 million

Cash flow in year 6 =  $10 million - $15 million = $-5 million

I = 9.5

NPV = $10.50 million

Option two

Cash flow in year 0 = $-12 million

Cash flow each year for year 1 - 6 = $4 million

I = 9.5

NPV = $5.68 million

The first option should be chosen because the NPV of the first option yields the higher NPV

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

The market price of Friden Company's common stock increased from $15 to $18. Earnings per share of common stock remained unchang
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Old market price of stock = $15

New market price of stock = $18

Here, we assume that EPS be $5.

So,

Price-earning ratio at old price = \frac{Market\ Price}{EPS}

                                                   =  \frac{15}{5}

                                                   = 3

Price-earning ratio at New price = \frac{Market\ Price}{EPS}

                                                   =  \frac{18}{5}

                                                   = 3.6

Hence, price-earnings ratio increases.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

D. assign appropriate, but differing, discount rates to each project and then select the projects with the highest net present values.

Explanation:

Even though Division A is the largest and produce the highest amount of sales, it will not be selected based on this factor but its net present value(NPV). This will determine if the sales actually can fully recover the initial investment amount and yield a profit. Therefore, since Division A and B have different levels of risk, it will be appropriate to find their NPVs using different discount rates and accept the one with the highest NPV.
