You work for Mattel and you are negotiating with Warner Brothers for the rights to manufacture and sell Harry Potter lunchboxes (you already sell related action figures). Your marketing department estimates that you can sell $500 million worth of lunchboxes per year for three years, starting next year. At the end of year three, you will liquidate the assets of the business. Additional information is available for download from McGraw-Hill’s Connect or your course instructor (see the Preface for more information). Given this information, identify the relevant cash flows, and calculate the investment’s net present value, benefit-cost ratio, and internal rate of return.
