Landberg Inc. is considering a project which would require a $1.85 million after-tax investment today (t = 0). The after-tax cash flows the factory generates will depend on whether the state imposes a new property tax. There is a 45% probability that the tax will pass. If the tax passes, the factory will produce after-tax cash flows of $40,000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. There is a 55% probability that the tax will not pass. If the tax does not pass, the factory will produce after-tax cash flows of $800,000 for the next 5 years. The project has a WACC of 10%. If the factory is unsuccessful, the firm will have the option to abandon the project 1 year from now if the tax passes. If the factory project is abandoned, the firm will receive the expected $40,000 cash flow at t = 1, and the property will be sold netting $900,000 (after taxes are considered) at t = 1. Once the project is abandoned, the company would no longer receive any cash inflows from it. What is the project's expected NPV if it can be abandoned?

1. It will costs the Philippines P2,500,000 to drill a natural gas well. Operating expenses will be 10% of therevenue from the sale of natural gas from this particular well. If found, natural gas from a highly productive well will amount to 260,000 cubic feet per day. The probability of locating such a productive well, however is about 10%. If natural gas sells for P80 per thousand cubic feet, what is the EMVPw of profit to the Philippine governement? The life of the well is 10 years and MARR is 15% per year.
The Enrico Oil Company is deciding whether to drill for oil on a tract. The company estimates thatthe project would cost $8 million today. The company estimates that once drilled, the oil willgenerate positive net cash flow of $4 million a year for the next 4 years. The company recognizes,however, that if it waits 2 years, it could cost $9 million, but there is a 90% chance that the nextcash flow will be $4.2 million and there is a 10% chance that the net cash flow will be $2.2 milliona year for 4 years. Assume that all cash flows are discounted at 10%. Required:i. If the company opts to drill today, what is the project’s NPV? ii. Evaluate whether it would be worthwhile to wait 2 years before deciding whether todrill?

A baseball team has signed a draft pick to a two year contract. The player's expectedmarginal revenue product in year 1 and year 2 are $1-million and $1.7-millionrespectively. The contracted wage is $1.3-million in the first year. The interest rate is7% each year. The competitive wage in year 2 is expected to be $1.8-million. If theteam is indifferent about the player resigning with it at the end of his contract, howmuch will they pay him in the second year? Use a$ and commas.
A European consortium has spent a considerable amount of time andmoney developing a new supersonic aircraft. The aircraft gets high markson all performance measures except noise. In fact, because of the noise,the consortium’s management is concerned that the U.S. government mayimpose restrictions on some of the American airports where the aircraftcan land. Management judges a 50–50 chance that there will be somerestrictions. Without restrictions, management estimates its (presentdiscounted) profit at $125 million; with restrictions, its profit would beonly $25 million. Management must decide now, before knowing thegovernment’s decision, whether to redesign parts of the aircraft to solvethe noise problem. The cost of the redesign program is $25 million. Thereis a .6 chance that the redesign program will solve the noise problem (inwhich case, full landing rights are a certainty) and a .4 chance it will fail. Using a decision tree, determine the consortium’s best course ofaction, assuming…

53. The annual demand for Prizdol, a prescription drugmanufactured and marketed by the NuFeel Company,is normally distributed with mean 50,000 and standarddeviation 12,000. Assume that demand during each ofthe next 10 years is an independent random numberfrom this distribution. NuFeel needs to determine howlarge a Prizdol plant to build to maximize its expectedprofit over the next 10 years. If the company builds aplant that can produce x units of Prizdol per year, it willcost $16 for each of these x units. NuFeel will produceonly the amount demanded each year, and each unit ofPrizdol produced will sell for $3.70. Each unit of Prizdol produced incurs a variable production cost of $0.20.It costs $0.40 per year to operate a unit of capacity.a. Among the capacity levels of 30,000, 35,000,40,000, 45,000, 50,000, 55,000, and 60,000 unitsper year, which level maximizes expected profit?Use simulation to answer this question.b.
