Answer to Problem 8PS
$18,092,131.90 is the Net Present Value
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The beta value, risk free rate of interest, expected return on market is given.
Net present value is the discounting of present value of
Calculation of net Present Value,
“C” refers to the cash flow,
“I” refers to discount rate
“t” refers to the time for cash flow
The
Calculating the NPV of the project,
So the Net Present Value is $18,092,131.90

To determine: The highest possible beta for the project
Introduction: The net present value helps to an organization for taking decisions regarding the growth of investment and the business. It analyzes the profitability of the project through capital budgeting.
b.
Answer to Problem 8PS
3.47 is the highest possible value of beta for the project.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The risk free rate of interest, expected return on market is given.
Net present value is the discounting of present value of cash inflow and outflow at a specified rate. When the NPV becomes positive, then the investment is profitable. It analyzes the profitability of the project.

- A project is thought to have a 0.55 probability of making a profit of P400,000 and a 0.45 probability of making a profit of P200,000. What is the change in expected profit if the probabilities actually turn out to be 0.60 and 0.40, respectively?arrow_forwardYou are a consultant to a large manufacturing corporation considering a project with the following net after-tax cash flows (in millions of dollars). After-Tax Year from Now CF O 1-9 year 10 -20 10 per 20 The project's beta is 1.7. Assuming that the risk-free rate is 9% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 19%. What is the net present value of the project? Your answer should be in millions of dollars and accurate to the hundredth.

You are considering a project that has an initial outlay of $1million. The profitability index of the project is 2.24. What is the NPV of the project?arrow_forwardSuppose that you are working on a product development venture and your best guess about the cost and revenue is as follows: you expect to spend $2 million on inventories and marketing in the near future (so you can treat all the expenses as immediate cash outlays) but you expect to receive $2.3 million of revenue in two years. Note that the # is an expected amount that is an average of the optimistic scenarios and pessimistic scenarios. This is also simplified to make the set-up easy. What is your expected return on this venture (in terms of a per year rate of return? In other words, what is the IRR?arrow_forward
