Is the investment attractive? Why or why not? Calculate the net present value of the expansion. (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar. Use parentheses or a minus sign for a negative net present value.) Net present value of expansion 9 Assume that Golden Valley's managers developed the following estimates concerning a planned expansion to its River Park Lodge (all numbers assumed): Number of additional skiers per day 124 Average number of days per year that weather conditions allow skiing at Golden Valley 161 Useful life of expansion (in years) Average cash spent by each skier per day .$ 242 Average variable cost of serving each skier per day . $ 148 Cost of expansion ... $ 8,500,000 $ Discount rate 14% Assume that Golden Valley uses the straight-line depreciation method and expects the lodge expansion to have a residual value of $900,000 at the end of its nine-year life. It has already calculated the average annual net cash inflow per year to be $1,876,616. 1. What is the project's NPV? Is the investment attractive? Why or why not? 2. Assume the expansion has no residual value. What is the project's NPV? Is the investment still attractive? Why or why not
