For each of the statements below, indicate whether the statement is True or False AND provide one or two explanatory sentences to support your answer.

a. In New Zealand, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) that is used to compute the cost of equity capital adjusts the risk free rate for the average investor tax rate but this adjustment is not made for the risk free rate component in the post-tax market risk premium.

b. Reinvestments in the firm’s net operating assets are deducted from NOPAT to arrive at free cash flows to the firm to maintain the firm’s operating capability and to grow the firm.

c. To ensure the free cash flows in the perpetuity (terminal) period grow at a constant terminal growth rate g, the relationships between components in the income statement and balance sheet must be the same in the last year of the horizon period and first year of the perpetuity (terminal) period.

d. When using the market multiples approach to value the target’s firm/enterprise value, we would use multiples based on comparable companies’ net profit after tax and book value of equity and apply these multiples to the target firm’s net operating profit after tax and net operating assets.

The old system has zero disposal​ value, but it could be used for the next 12 years. The estimated useful life of the new software is 12 years with zero salvage​ value, and it will cost $190,000. The required rate of return is 14​%.

Requirements:

What is the payback​ period?

2.

Compute the NPV.

3.

Management is unsure about the useful life. What would be the NPV if the useful life were

(a) 5 years instead of 12 or​ (b) 20 years instead of 12​?

4.

Suppose the life will be 12 years, but the savings will be $15,000 per year instead of $19,000. What would be the​ NPV?

5.

Suppose the annual savings will be $16,000 for 8 years. What would be the​ NPV?
