Question

Opulence Corporation operates several large cruise ships. One of these ships, the Bellwether, can hold up to 3,800 passengers and cost $760 million to build. Assume the following additional information:

There will be 300 cruise days per year operated at a full capacity of 3,800 passengers.

The variable expenses per passenger are estimated to be $80 per cruise day.

The revenue per passenger is expected to be $400 per cruise day.

The fixed expenses for running the ship, other than depreciation, are estimated to be $94,848,000 per year.

The ship has a service life of 10 years, with a residual value of $120,000,000 at the end of 10 years.

a. Determine the annual net cash flow from operating the cruise ship.

b. Determine the net present value of this investment, assuming a 6% minimum rate of return. Use the present value tables provided above. If required, round to the nearest whole dollar.

Net present value

I just need the Present Value of residual value, I put 120,000,000 but it says that is wrong. Please and thank you

Explanation / Answer

Answer a

The annual net cash flow from operating the cruise ship.

Answer b

Note : Present Value of residual value will be $120,000,000 * PVIF 6 % 10th year = $120,000,000 *  0.558 = $66,960,000.

The net present value of this investment

Revenues ( 300 cruise days * 3,800 passengers * $400 per cruise day) $456,000,000 Less variable expenses ( 300 cruise days * 3,800 passengers * $80 per cruise day) ($91,200,000) Fixed expenses ($94,848,000) Annual net cash flow $269,952,000
