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 offices 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.

The spot exchange rates are $1.80 = £1.00 and $1.15 = €1.00 The pound sterling denominated cash flows are as follows:

Your firm is based in southern Ireland (and thereby operates in euro, not pounds) and is considering an investment in the United States. The project involves selling widgets: you project a sales volume of 50,000 widgets per year, sales price of $20 per widget with a contribution margin of $15 per widget. The project will last for 5 years, require an investment of $1,000,000 at time zero (which will be depreciated straight-line to $10,000 over the 5 years). Salvage value for the equipment is projected to be $10,000. The project will operate in rented quarters: $300,000 rent is due at the start of each year. The corporate tax rate is 12½% in Ireland and 40% in the U.S. For simplicity, assume that taxes are paid like sales taxes: immediately. The spot exchange rate is $1.50 =  €1.00.

The Strik-it-Rich Gold Mining Company is contemplating expanding its operations. To do so it will need to purchase land that its geologists believe is rich in gold. Strik-it-Rich's management believes that the expansion will allow it to mine and sell an additional 2,000 troy ounces of gold per year. The expansion, including the cost of the land, will cost $500,000. The current price of gold bullion is $425 per ounce and one-year gold futures are trading at $450.50 = $425 × (1.06). Extraction costs are $375 per ounce. The firm's cost of capital is 10 percent. Strik-it-Rich's management is, however, concerned with the possibility that large sales of gold reserves by Russia and the United Kingdom will drive the price of gold down to $390 for the foreseeable future. On the other hand, management believes there is some possibility that the world will soon return to a gold reserve international monetary system. In the latter event, the price of gold would increase to at least $460 per ounce. The course of the future price of gold bullion should become clear within a year. Strik-it-Rich can postpone the expansion for a year by buying a purchase option on the land for $25,000. 99. Compute the NPV at the current price of gold. Hint: think of the gold mine as a perpetuity

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 offices 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.

Some of the factors (with selected explanations) used in calculating the basic "net present value" and the "incremental" cash flows of a capital project are: (i) - expected after-tax terminal value, including recapture of working capital (ii) - net income, which belongs to the equity holders of the firm (iii) - initial investment at inception (iv) - depreciation, and the fact that depreciation is a noncash expense (i.e. it is removed from the calculation of net income, for tax purposes, but added back because it did not actually flow out of the firm) (v) - weighted-average cost of capital (vi) - the firm's after-tax payment of interest to debtholders (vii) - economic life of the capital project in years The "net present value" of a capital project is calculated by using: A. (i), (ii), and (iii) B. (ii), (iv), and (vi) C.

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 offices 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.
