Store Sensitivities Even if this store has 18.1% lower sales than the forecasted level by R&P, it can achieve the accepted NPV of prototype, besides, construction cost can increase to near $10 million and still the project can achieve the expected NPV of the P04. If the stores sales decline by 10%, the project’s NPV will decrease by almost $4 millions which provides an accepted NPV of 13,340 K$ which is still above the accepted NPV of P04. Variance to prototype The Store NPV of $17,046K is $7,326K above Prototypical Store NPV.

Question 24 Europa Corporation is financing an ongoing construction project. The firm will need $5,000,000 of new capital during each of the next 3 years. The firm has a choice of issuing new debt or equity each year as the funds are needed, or issue only debt now and equity later. Its target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity, and it wants to be at that structure in 3 years, when the project has been completed.

,Sarah L. G January 6, 2013 Written Assignment #1 1. A) $1,000 with 5% interest after 10 years gives you $1,628. Therefore, you would gain $628 in interest.
