8-1 Forecasting Earnings 
 
20. You are considering making a movie. The movie is expected to cost $10 million upfront and take a year to make. After that, it is expected to make $5 million when it is released in one year and $2 million per year for the following four years. What is the payback period of this investment? If you require a payback period of two years, will you make the movie? Does the movie have positive NPV if the cost of capital is 10%?
Choosing Between Projects
 
21. You are deciding between two mutually exclusive investment opportunities. Both require the same initial investment of $10 million. Investment A will generate $2 million per year (starting at the end of the first year) in perpetuity. Investment B will generate $1.5 million at the end of the first year and its revenues will grow at 2% per year for every year after that.
    a. Which investment has the higher IRR?
    b. Which investment has the higher NPV when the cost of capital is 7%?
    c. In this case, for what values of the cost of capital does picking the higher IRR give the correct answer as to which investment is the best opportunity?
 
Forecasting Earnings
8.1 Pisa Pizza, a seller of frozen pizza, is considering introducing a healthier version of its pizza that will be low in cholesterol and contain no trans fats. The firm expects that sales of the new pizza will be $20 million per year. While many of these sales will be to new customers, Pisa Pizza estimates that 40% will come from customers who switch to the new, healthier pizza instead of buying the original version.
    a. Assume customers will spend the same amount on either version. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza?
    b. Suppose that 50% of the customers who will switch from Pisa Pizza’s original pizza to its healthier pizza will switch to another brand if Pisa Pizza does not introduce a healthier pizza. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza in this case?
 
TUTORIAL PREVIEW
a. Assume customers will spend the same amount on either version. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza?
 
Incremental sales = Sales of new pizza – lost sales of original
                                     = 20-0.40(20)
                                     = $12 million
