Answer #1

PV = FCF1 /(r-g)

Here, PV is Present Value

FCF1 is Future Cash Flow of year 1 which is $15 million

r is the discounting factor of the project. In the problem Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) or r is not provided so we assume it to be 15%.

g is the growth rate. In the problem it is 4%

Substituting the value we arrive at the following PV

PV = $15 / (.15-.04)

= $15 / 0.11

= $136.36 million

NPV is the Net Present Value of discounted cash flows less cost of acquiring the asset.

NPV = PV of cash flow - cost of acquisition

=$136.36 million - $100 million

=$36.36 million

As NPV is positive here, therefore we will consider the  Raft Adventures for acquisition.
