The Karns Oil Company is deciding whether to drill for oil on a tract of land that the company owns. The company estimates the project would cost $11 million today. Karns estimates that, once drilled, the oil will generate positive net cash flows of $5.06 million a year at the end of each of the next 4 years. Although the company is fairly confident about its cash flow forecast, in 2 years it will have more information about the local geology and about the price of oil. Karns estimates that if it waits 2 years then the project would cost $13.5 million. Moreover, if it waits 2 years, then there is a 90% chance that the net cash flows would be $5.83 million a year for 4 years and a 10% chance that they would be $2.86 million a year for 4 years. Assume all cash flows are discounted at 11%.
If the company chooses to drill today, what is the project's net present value? A negative value should be entered with a negative sign. Enter your answer in millions.

Consider a project to supply 100 million postage stamps per year to Canada Post for the next five years. You have an idle parcel of land available that cost $850,000 five years ago; if you sold the land today, it would net you $1,080,000 after tax. If you sold the land five years from now, the land can be sold again for a net $1,150,000 after tax. You will need to install $4.6 million in new manufacturing plant and equipment to actually produce the stamps. The equipment qualifies for a CCA rate of 30% and can be sold for $400,000 at the end of the project. You will also need $600,000 in initial net working capital for the project, and an additional investment of $50,000 every year thereafter. Your production costs are 0.45 cents per stamp, and you have fixed costs of $1,200,000 per year. If your tax rate is 34% and your required return on this project is 12%, what bid price should you submit on the contract? Answer to 5 decimal places

You have been asked to forecast the additional funds needed (AFN) for Houston, Hargrove, & Worthington (HHW), which is planning its operation for the coming year. The firm is operating at full capacity. Data for use in the forecast are shown below. However, the CEO is concerned about the impact of a change in the payout ratio from the 10% that was used in the past to 25%, which the firm's investment bankers have recommended. Based on the AFN equation, by how much would the AFN for the coming year change if HHW increased the payout from 10% to the new and higher level? All dollars are in millions. Last year's sales = S0 $300.0 Last year's accounts payable $50.0 Sales growth rate = g 40% Last year's notes payable $15.0 Last year's total assets = A0* $500 Last year's accruals $20.0 Last year's profit margin = PM 20.0% Initial payout ratio 10.0% Select the correct answer a. $12.6 b. $10.6 c. $11.6 d. $9.6 e. $13.6

Assume that the net cash flow of a potential $7.25 million investment is $1.1 million in year 1, then $1.25 million in year 2, $1.4 million in year 3, $2.2 million in year 4 and year 5, and then sold at the end of year 5 for $850,000. Further assume that in each year cash flows (excluding initial investment) could be as much as $400,000 less than forecast, or $400,000 more than forecast. Suppose you assess the “low net cash flow” probability at 25 percent likely, the base (original) scenario at 50 percent likely, and the “high net cash flow” probability at 25 percent. The corporate cost of capital is 9 percent.
