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 $ Data Table Assume that Star Valley's managers developed the following estimates concerning a planned expansion to its Spring Park Lodge (all numbers assumed) Requirements - X 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? Number of additional skiers per day. 122 Average number of days per year that weather conditions allow skiing at Star Valley 158 Useful life of expansion (in years). 8 Average cash spent by each skier per day $ 247 Average variable cost of serving each skier per day $ 134 Cost of expansion $ 9,000,000 Discount rate 12% Assume that Star Valley uses the straight-line depreciation method and expects the lodge expansion to have a residual value of $800,000 at the end of its eight-year life. It has already calculated the average annual net cash inflow per year to be $2,178,188. Print Done Print Done
