(Calculating free cash flows) At present, Solartech Skateboards is considering expanding its product line to include gas-powered skateboards; however, it is questionable how well they will be received by skateboarders. Although you feel there is a 40 percent chance you will sell 10,000 of these per year for 10 years (after which time this project is expected to shut down because solar-powered skateboards will become more popular), you also recognize that there is a 30 percent chance that you will only sell 1,000 and also a 30 percent chance you will sell 17,000. The gas skateboards would sell for $100 each and have a variable cost of $40 each. Regardless of how many you sell, the annual fixed costs associated with production would be $130,000. In addition, there would be an initial expenditure of $1,200,000 associated with the purchase of new production equipment. It is assumed that this initial expenditure will be depreciated using the simplified straight-line method down to zero over 10 years. Because of the number of stores that will need inventory, the working capital requirements are the same regardless of the level of sales. This project will require a one-time initial investment of $60,000 in net working capital, and that working-capital investment will be recovered when the project is shut down. Finally, assume that the firm's marginal tax rate is 31 percent.
a. What is the initial outlay associated with the project?
b. What are the annual free cash flows associated with the project for years 1 through 9 under each sales forecast? What are the expected annual free cash flows for years 1 through 9?
c. What is the terminal cash flow in year 10 (that is, what is the free cash flow in year 10 plus any additional cash flows associated with the termination of the project)?
d. Using the expected free cash flows, what is the project's NPV given a required rate of return of 11 percent? What would the project's NPV be if 10,000 skateboards were sold?
***PLEASE, be as detailed as possible, I couldn't figure this problem out so please only answer if you know how to do this!***

Lucinda Diamanti is 10 years old today (August 15th) and while all she’s interested in is her new bike, her parents Mr. & Mrs. Diamanti are considering how they will pay for her college education beginning in 8 years. They decide to set up a meeting with their financial adviser Cindy Morgan to discuss an education savings plan. During the meeting, the Diamanti’s inform Cindy that they have $8,000 they can use to begin the savings plan, and from what they can determine, Lucinda will require 4 years to complete her undergraduate degree in molecular biology. Cindy consults a reputable college reference to see that tuition costs are currently estimated at $32,000 per year and are expected to grow at 4% each year for the foreseeable future. The Diamanti’s are concerned that they won’t have enough money and ask Cindy how to make sure they have enough to completely pay for Lucinda’s undergraduate education. The Diamanti’s inform Cindy that they want to make deposits into the education savings plan on an annual basis until Lucinda’s first year in college at which point they will stop making contributions. Cindy tells them they can earn 8% annual interest on their savings plan. Your job to answer the following two questions (You may assume there are 8 years between today and the beginning of Lucinda’s first day in college): Assuming the estimates on tuition costs are correct, how much money needs to be in the account when Lucinda begins college in 8 years to fund 4 years of college?
