1. Fullen Machenery is investing $400 million in new industrial equipment. The present
value of the future after-tax cash flows resulting from the equipment is $700 million.
Fullen currently has 200 million shares of common stock outstanding, with a current
market price of $36 per share. Assuming that this project is new information and is
independent of other expectations about the company, what is the theoretical effect of
the new equipment on Fullen’s stock price?
Answer :
When the company purchase the new equipment for 400 million dollars. This will
add assets. Where the asset will be use to generate revenue about 700 million dollars
cash in flow. Which results in a net present value of 300 million dollars. When the
company got an additional profit (net present value) of 300 million dollars. This
profit can increase dividends amount and attract the investor to buy stock. also the
additional profit will add the value of retain earnings that may change the stock price.
In this case, it may increase the price of stock.
Simulation
Without new equipment
Stock : 200 million
Price of stock : $36
With new equipment
NPV = $700 million - $400 million = $300 million
Additional price of stock = $ 300 million / 200 million = $1.5
New Price of stock = $36 + $1.5 = $37.5

a. Both project Z and project Y will be accepted, because both NPV value of the
projects are positive.
b. Project Z will be rejected, because the project Z’s NPV is lower than Project Y’s
NPV. In other hand, the Project Z’s IRR values are lower than Project Y’s IRR as
well.
