Your company is about to undertake a major investment project. The project will require an initial outlay of $100 million for fi

xed assets plus another $50 million for working capital. Tax authorities will allow you to depreciate the fixed assets on a straight-line basis over four years to a salvage value of zero. In fact, however, you expect that you can sell the fixed assets for $25 million at the end of Year 4. You also expect that you can recover your working capital at its book value at that time. You expect that the project will generate $60 million in revenue and $30 million in cash operating expenses (excluding depreciation) during each of the next four years. The corporate tax rate is 40%.
A) What are the cash flows for each year of the project’s life that you would use in conducting an NPV analysis of the project?
B) If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the project’s NPV?
C) What is the minimum price at which you could sell the fixed assets at the end of Year 4 in order for the project to be just acceptable?

Answer:

A) initial outlay = $150 million

Cash flow year 1 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28

Cash flow year 2 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28

Cash flow year 3 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28

Cash flow year 4 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 + ($25 x 60%) + $50 = $93

B) Using a financial calculator, NPV = -$16.85 million

C) cash flow year 4 should increase by $24.667 million, meaning that the selling price must increase by $$24.667/0.6 = $41.11 million

minimum selling price $25 + $41.11 = $66.11 million

Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a.Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

A country has a comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.

A person has an absolute advantage in production if it produces more quantities of the good when compared with other countries.

Georgeland produces more quantities of both food and clothes when compared to Alland, so it has absolute advantage in both activities .

The opportunity cost of georgeland in producing clothes = 36 / 18=2

The opportunity cost of georgeland producing food = 18 / 36 = 0.5

For Alland,

the opportunity cost of producing clothes = 32 / 16= 2

the opportunity cost of producing food = 16 / 32 = 0.5

Neither countries don't have a comparative advantage in the production of either clothes of food bedside they have the same opportunity costs in both activities.

I hope my answer helps you
