If Amazon is considering investing $10 billion in new warehouses, and the NPV is calculated to be +$1, and the WACC is 6%, what is your approximate estimate for the IRR? (No calculations needed.)
IRR is the rate at which NPV = 0
If NPV = 0, then IRR = WACC
If NPV > 0, then IRR > WACC
NPV = +$1
NPV is just one dollar above 0. So, the IRR is just above WACC.
The approximate estimate for the IRR ~ 6%
(Just above 6%. Approximately 6%)
Can you please upvote? Thank you :-)

A company is considering investing in some new fabricating machinery. The NPV analysis produces a positive NPV of $800,000. This is based on depreciating the machinery over seven years. The company discovers that this particular type of machinery can depreciated using an accelerated method over four years. How will the NPV change if this new method is used? Explain why the change occurs.

1) Suppose that you calculate the NPV of a project, and obtain a value of $100 million dollars. After completing your analysis, you find out that the corporate tax rate will change from 40% to 30%. If nothing else changes, what is the effect of this tax change on the NPV you had calculated? Assume that your company has no debt. a) The new NPV will be lower than $100 b) The new NPV will be higher than $100 c)...
