A company is considering investing in a project whose present value without flexibility is 100 million. The project pays no dividends, and the initial investment required is 102 million. The appropriate cost of capital for the project is 20%. The risk-free rate is 5%. Every period the project cash flows either go up by a factor "u", or reduces by a factor "d". Use u = 2.2255 and d = 0.4493. a) Calculate the NPV of the project without the flexibility. b) Suppose the total investment of 102 million (present value) may be disaggregated into 3 installments, as follows: 52 million in year 0, 21 million in year 1, and 33.075 million in year 2. In any year management has the option to "default" on its planned investment, at which point the project is terminated. What is the NPV for the project with this default option? c) What is the value of this default option?

Your firm has limited capital to invest and is therefore interested in comparing projects based on the profitability index (PI), as well as other measures. What is the PI of the project with the estimated cash flows below? The required rate of return is 16.7%. Round to 3 decimals. Year 0 cash flow = -720,000 Year 1 cash flow = -160,000 Year 2 cash flow = 540,000 Year 3 cash flow = 500,000 Year 4 cash flow = 430,000 Year 5 cash flow = 470,000
A company is considering a project that has the following cash flows: C0 = -5,000, C1 = +900, C2 = +2,500, C3 = +1,100, and C4 = +2,900 with a risk-adjusted discount rate of 12%. Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Profitability Index, and the Payback of this project. If you were the manager of the firm, will you accept or reject the project based on the calculation results above?
You are offered the chance to participate in a project that produces the following cash flows: C0=+$7,000 C1=+$5,000 C2=-$15,000 The internal rate of return is 15.0%. a. If the opportunity cost of capital is 13%, what is the net present value of the project? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Will you accept the offer?
Consider the investment project with net cash flows shown. There are 2 rates of return for the project. One is 43.47%. What is the other? Enter as a percentage without the percent sign. For instance, if your answer is 10.23%, enter as 10.23. n Net Cash Flow 0 -$8000 1 $10000 2 $30000 3 -$40000
An investment has an installed cost of $532,800. The cash flows over the four-year life of the investment are projected to be $216,850, $233,450, $200,110, and $148,820, respectively. a. If the discount rate is zero, what is the NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b. If the discount rate is infinite, what is the NPV?

2. An investment has an installed cost of $412,670. The cash flows over the four-year life of the investment are projected to be $212,817, $153,408, $102,389, and $72,308. If the discount rate is zero, what is the NPV? If the discount rate is infinite, what is the NPV? At what discount rate is the NPV just equal to zero? Sketch the NPV profile for this investment based on these three points.
Find the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for a proposed project costing $12,513. Assume that the appropriate cost of capital for projects of this risk level, at this company is 10.96%, and the estimated cash flows for the life of the project are found in the table below. (If you calculate an MIRR of 20.22% , please enter 20.22- do not include the % symbol, and use at least two decimal places). Year 1 $7,261 Year 2 $4,832 Year 3 $9,441.2 Year 4 $13,000 Year 5 $12,638
