HM Company is contemplating a new project that demands a $5 million investment in plant and machinery. Sales forecasts for the project indicate $2 million in the first year, $4 million in the second year, and $6 million in the third year. Future sales are expected to increase at a rate matching the anticipated inflation of 10%. The project involves scrapping the plant after 6 years, with an estimated salvage value of $1 million. Tax-related depreciation follows a straight-line pattern at $1 million per year. Cost of goods is projected to be 70% of sales, and working capital needs are minimal. The company is subject to a 35% tax rate. a) Compute the projected cash flows for each year and determine the Net Present Value (NPV) of the investment, assuming a required rate of return of 16%. b) Reassess the calculations, this time analyzing the project in real terms rather than nominal terms. Discount the cash flows using an estimated real rate of approximately 5.45%.
