Tiger Towers, Inc. is considering an expansion of their existing business, student apartments. The new project will be built on some vacant land that the firm has just contracted to buy. The land cost $1,000,000 and the payment is due today. Construction of a 20-unit office building will cost $3 million; this expense will be depreciated straight-line over 30 years to zero salvage value; the pretax value of the land and building in year 30 will be $18,000,000. The $3,000,000 construction cost is to be paid today. The project will not change the risk level of the firm. The firm will lease 20 office suites at $20,000 per suite per year; payment is due at the start of the year; occupancy will begin in one year. Variable cost is $3,500 per suite. Fixed costs, excluding depreciation, are $75,000 per year. The project will require a $10,000 investment in net working capital. = 10.0% = 11.20% = 15.0% tax rate = 34% = 3 = 24.9% = 2% Assume that the firm will partially finance the project with a $3,000,000 interest-only 30-year loan at 10.0 percent APR with annual payments. What is the levered after-tax incremental cash flow for year 1? What is the levered after-tax incremental cash flow for year 30?

Suppose your firm would like to earn 10% yearly return from the following two investment projects of equal risk.

(a)       If only one project can be accepted, based on the NPV method which one should it be?  Support your answer with calculations.

(b)       Suppose there is another four-year project (Project C) and its cash flows are as follows:

C₀ = –$8,000

             C₁ =   $2,000

               C₂ =   $2,500

               C₃ =   $2,000

               C₄ =   $4,000

(i)      Given the above cash flow patterns, at what required rate of return will Project C have the same NPV as Project B?  Briefly explain your answer.

(ii)     If Project C has the same risk as Project B, without calculations, explain which project will you pick?   

(iii)   If cash flow C₄ of Project C is unknown to you (while C₀ – C₃ are known and as above) and the project’s cost of capital is 10%, what amount of C₄ will make Project C worth accepting?

(iv)    If your firm’s investment policy (based on payback method) is such that it only accepts projects whose initial investment can be recouped within three years, will Project B and/or Project C be accepted?   

(c)       Based on the estimated cash flows of Project A, will you expect its internal rate of return (IRR) to be positive?  Briefly explain your answer WITHOUT calculations.

(d)       What kind of rate of return is the 10% interest stated in the question for Projects A and B?  How can it be used in making investment decisions (i.e. its role in investment decision making)?

What is the implied standard deviation of returns? What is the delta? What is the approximate change in stockholder value from an NPV of $500,000?

- Spam Corp. is financed entirely by common stock and has a beta of 1.30. The firm is expected to generate a level, perpetual stream of earnings and dividends.

chapter 3 question 6

Topperton Company has developed a new industrial product. An outlay of $8 million is required for equipment to produce the new product, and additional net working capital of $400,000 is required to support production and marketing. In addition, a one-time $400,000 (before-tax) expense will be incurred the year that the equipment is placed into service. The equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero book value over 6 years. Although the depreciation life is 6 years, the project is expected to have a productive life of 8 years, and it is estimated that the equipment can be sold for $1 million at that time. Revenues minus expenses are expected to be $3 million per year. The cost of capital for this project is 14%, and the relevant tax rate is 30%. What is the NPV of the new product?
