1. The business you invest 100,000 in a bank account that pays interest of r=7% a year. Compute the value of the business investment in Y1 and Y2
2. As a CFO, your business you want to know how much the business have to invest today in a bank account that pays interest of r=7% a year to receive 114,490 at the end of the second year (the present value (PV) of the 114,490 payoff?)
3. Company A Ltd wanted to know their net present value of cash flow if they invest $100,000 today, their initial investment in the project is $80,000 for the 3 years of time, and they are expecting the rate of return is 10 % yearly. Calculate the NPV using the formula NPV = Cash Flows /(1+ r)t – Initial Investment
4. Present Value of an investment opportunity:
NapoPizza Ltd is contemplating construction of a warehouse. The total cost of buying the land and constructing the facility is 370,000, and according to your real estate advisor, and due to warehouse space demand for that year, NapoPizza Ltd owners will be able to sell the fully built warehouse for 420,000 in one year. The rate of interest on EU r* =5% per year (discount rate or opportunity cost of capital). Compute the present value or market price of the warehouse, and if the business should invest in the project. Investors believe the warehouse project is as risky as investment in the stock market and that stocks offer a 12% expected return (12% is the opportunity cost of capital – they are giving up by investing in the warehouse and not investing in equally risky securities (tip recalculating NPV with r = 12%)
5. Nico Rey is trying to sell an office building in Florida, and yesterday Many Fer offered $10,000 for the property. He was about ready to accept the offer when Benny Bo offered him $11,424. However, the second offer was to be paid a year from now. Which offer should Nico choose? The bank’s insured rate for deposits is 12%. Option 1 $10,000 from Manny Fer Option 2 $11,414 from Benny Bo.
6. The ABC Kitchen Company is contemplating investing €1 million in four new stores in Boston. Carol R, the firm’s chief financial officer (CFO), has estimated that the investments will pay out cash flows of € 200,000 per year for nine years and zero thereafter - The cash flows will occur at the end of each year and there will be no cash flow after year 9 – Mrs. R has determined that the prudent and appropriate discount rate for this investment is 15% - this is the rate of return that the firm can earn at comparable projects. Should the ABC Kitchen Company make the investments in the new stores?
