B. Problem Statement (30 questions) Business is thriving and, as a result, the Soho Paving Company is contemplating the purchase of additional landscaping equipment. While the Company has done the necessary due diligence, it is doubtful that the investment would perform exactly as projected by the dealership consultant. Due to lingering uncertainty, you have been mandated by the Company to perform a one-way sensitivity analysis of your potential purchase. The current best" guesses for the project parameters are: . 1. Initial Cost (P) = $960,000 2. Salvage value (SV) = $12,133 3. Annual operating revenues (AOR) = $600,000 4. Annual operating costs (AOC) = $325,000 5. Economic life (N) = 5 years 6. MARR = 10% 7. Inflation Rate = 0%. One-way Sensitivity Table Net Present Worth (NPW). Parameters -15% -10% -5% +5% +10% +15% Reference Scenario P BB CC AOR DD EE AOC FF GG HH SV = JJ KK N LL MM MARR NN oo PP 30. Consult the lecture notes on risk for the formula required for this question. Instead of performing conventional risk analyses (e.g., expected values; Monte Carlo simulations) to account for a risky future, some companies prefer to add a risk premium (e.g., 2 percentage points) to their risk-free MARR. . Assume that the Soho Company needs to raise $800,000 to finance the purchase of landscaping equipment. If the risk-free interest rate (a risk-free rate is a MARR that includes real (inflation-free) rate of return and an inflation rate but excludes a risk premium) is 10% (the MARR used in your sensitivity Table. the average market MARR is 12% (which is the sum of i) an inflation- free rate; ii) an inflation premium; and iii) a risk premium). The company's Beta is 3 (Beta reflects a company's volatility relative to the overall market volatility; the higher Beta, the greater the company's volatility). . Find the company's discount rate (MARR) (which includes a real rate of return, an inflation premium and the company's risk premium) used to finance the purchase of the additional landscaping equipment?
