Production of the implants will require $1,480,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,800,000 per year, variable production costs are $143 per unit, and the units are priced at $325 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $18,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as 7-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 23 percent and the required return is 17 percent. (MACRS schedule) |

- 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?Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AA), projects unit sales for a new 7-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 2 3 4 5 74,400 79,800 85,400 82,700 69,500 Production of the implants will require $1,480,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year.
