Your company can build the factory which will generate the following cash flows: Year Cash flow Year 0-Now (investment) -$1,000 Year 1 $450 $450 $450 $450 $450 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 There will be no cash flows after year 5. The appropriate annual interest rate is 4%. a) (1 point) What is the net present value of the factory? b) (2 points) Everything is as before, but suppose that in year 3, you can extend the factory by paying $450. All other cash flows are unaltered, that is, you will still receive $450 from the factory in that year, before you will invest into the extension. If implemented, this extension will increase the cash flows in years 4 and 5 to $750 (in each year) from $450 now. However, in order for the extension to be feasible, you need to buy the land for the extension now (year 0), as otherwise it will be sold to a competing enterprise. The current owner is asking $100 for the land. Should you accept the offer?
