D Question 6 4 pts CellTech is proposing the launch of its new Cphone 5. The Cphone 5 will cost $7 million to develop and produce cash flows of $5 million for three years. The release of the Cphone 5 is also expected to cannibalize sales of the Cphone 4 and reduce the cash flows from Cphone 4 by $2 million for the next two years. If CelTech\'s cost of capital is 14.2%, should it go ahead with the Cphone 5? D Yes, creates $1.28 mil C Yes, creates $2.57 mil D Yes, creates $6.00 mil @ Yes, creates $457 mil Question 7 3 pts
Solution
Step 1: Calculation of NPV of Launch of new Cphone 5
NPV = PV of inflows - PV of outflows
= (4.38+3.83+3.36) - 7
= 11.57 - 7
=4.57 millions
Step 2: Caculation of PV of sale lost on Cphone 4 from the launch of Cphone 5
PV of cashflows = 1.75 + 1.53
= 3.28
Step 3: Analysis
Launch of new Cphone 5 generates a NPV of $4.57millions. But it will lead to decrease in sale of Cphone 4 which have PV of $3.28millions. Hence it generate net NPV of $1.28million($4.57millions - $3.28millions).
Hence, go ahead with the Cphone 5 since it create $1.28million
| Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Interest Rate | 14.2% | 14.2% | 14.2% | 14.2% |
| Cashflow(in $ in millions) | (7) | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Present Value ($ in millions) | (7.00) | 4.38 | 3.83 | 3.36 |
