A company is analyzing a proposed 3-year project using standard sensitivity analysis. The company expects to sell 12,000 units, ±4 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $10, and the expected fixed costs are $40,000. The fixed and variable cost estimates are considered accurate within a ±5 percent range. The sales price is estimated at $20 a unit, ±5 percent. The project requires an initial investment of $150,000 for equipment that will be depreciated using the straight-line method to zero over the project's life. The equipment can be sold for $24,000 at the end of the project. The project requires $30,000 in net working capital for the three years. The discount rate is 11% percent and tax rate is 25 percent. What is the operating cash flow for year 2 under the optimistic case scenario? (Hint: under the optimistic scenario, the number of units sold and price are higher and the costs are lower than expected) $103,040 $97,340 $91,640 $85,940 O $80,240

Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?
The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
You are evaluating a project for a superior pickleball paddle. You estimate the sales price to be $200 per unit and sales volume to be 1,000 units in year 1; 1,200 units in year 2; and 1,100 units in year 3. The project has a three-year life. Variable costs amount to $50 per unit and fixed costs are $100,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $165,000 in assets, which will be depreciated using bonus depreciation. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $20,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 20 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. If the company invests in the project, it plans to increase dividends by $10,000 each year. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return on the project is 10 percent. Prepare a schedule of project cash flows by year. Clearly label the rows showing EBIT, OCF and Free (Total) Cash Flows. Compute the project's NPV and IRR. Do you…

Jeweled Outlook is analyzing a proposed project with expected sales of 9,200 units, ±4 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $26 and the expected fixed costs are $49,000. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a range of ±5 percent. The depreciation expense is $18,300. The sale price is estimated at $52 a unit, ±3 percent. If the company conducts a sensitivity analysis using a variable cost of $27, what will be the total variable cost estimate?
A project requires an initial investment in equipment of $90,000 and also requires an initial investment in net working capital of $20,000 (at t = 0), net working capital is recovered at the end of the project. The research and development (R&D) costs so far have totaled about $100,000. You expect the project to produce sales revenue of $120,000 per year for three years. You estimate manufacturing costs at 60% of revenues. (Assume all revenues and costs occur at year-end, i.e., t = 1, t = 2, and t = 3.) The equipment depreciates using straight-line depreciation to zero over three years. At the end of the project, the firm can sell the equipment for $10,000. The corporate tax rate is 30% and the cost of capital is 16.5%. Calculate the NPV of the project.
The Meldrum Co. is analyzing a proposed project. The company expects to sell 3,000 units, give or take 15%. The expected variable cost per unit is $8 and the expected fixed costs are $12,500. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a plus or minus 5% range. The depreciation expense is $4,000. The sale price is estimated at $18/unit, give or take 2%. The project requires $24,000 of fixed assets which will be worthless when the project ends in six years. Also required is $6,500 of net working capital for the life of the project. The tax rate is 34% and the required rate of return is 12%. What is the net present value of the worst-case scenario?
Appalachian Crafts is analyzing a project with expected sales of 18,900 units, ±2 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $23 and the expected fixed costs are $52,000. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a range of ±1 percent. The depreciation expense is $18,400. The sale price is estimated at $54 a unit, ±2 percent. What is the total dollar difference between the revenue using the optimistic sale price versus the expected sale price?
A project requires an initial investment in equipment of $99,000 and then requires an initial investment in working capital of $16,000 (at t = 0). You expect the project to produce sales revenue of $135,000 per year for three years. You estimate manufacturing costs at 60 percent of revenues. (Assume all revenues and costs occur at year-end [i.e., t = 1, t = 2, and t = 3]). The equipment depreciates using straight-line depreciation over three years. At the end of the project, the firm can sell the equipment for $13,300 and recover the investment in net working capital. The corporate tax rate is 21 percent and the cost of capital is 15 percent. Calculate the NPV of the project. Multiple Choice $4,985 $13,879 −$3,880 $8,487
You are considering a proposal to produce and market a new sluffing machine. The most likely outcomes for the project are as follows: Expected sales: 125,000 units per year Unit price: $240 Variable cost: $144 Fixed cost: $5,430,000 The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial Investment of $21.78 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the required rate of return is 12% However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. In one scenario a sharp rise in the dollar could cause sales to fall 30% below expectations for the life of the project and, if that happens, the unit price would probably be only $230. The good news is that fixed costs could be as low as $3,620,000, and variable costs would decline in proportion to sales. a. What is project NPV If all variables are as expected?
