(Calculating free cash flows) Spartan Stores is expanding operations with the introduction of a new distribution center. Not only will sales increase but investment in inventory will decline due to increased efficiencies in getting inventory to showrooms. As a result of this new distribution center, Spartan expects a change in EBIT of $960,000. Although inventory is expected to drop from $86,000 to $69,000, accounts receivables are expected to climb as a result of increased credit sales from $86,000 to $100,000. In addition, accounts payable are expected to increase from $63,000 to $88,000. This project will also produce $250,000 of bonus depreciation in year 1 and Spartan Stores is in the 34 percent marginal tax rate. What is the project's free cash flow in year 1? The project's free cash flow in year 1 is (Round to the nearest dollar.) (Real options and capital budgeting) You have come up with a great idea for a Tex-Mex-Thai fusion restaurant. After doing a financial analysis of this venture, you estimate that the initial outlay will be $6 million. You also estimate that there is a 50 percent chance that this new restaurant will be well received and will produce annual cash flows of $840,000 per year forever (a perpetuity), while there is a 50 percent chance of it producing a cash flow of only $180,000 per year forever (a perpetuity) if it isn't received well. a. What is the NPV of the restaurant if the required rate of return you use to discount the project cash flows is 12 percent? b. What are the real options that this analysis may be ignoring? c. Explain why the project may be worthwhile even though you have just estimated that its NPV is negative? a. Assume the required rate of return you use to discount the project cash flows is 12%. What is the NPV of the restaurant if things go well? (Round to the nearest dollar)
