Adidas is evaluating a proposal for a new product. If they launch the product, they will use an existing facility in the production process, which they previously acquired for $4 million. They currently lease it to a third party, and they expect to continue to do so if they don't use it for the new product. They rent it out for $102,000 and they expect that to remain flat for the foreseeable future. The project requires immediate investment in CAPX of $1.3 million, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years for tax purposes. The project will end after eight years, at which time they expect to salvage some of the initital CAPX and sell it for $469,000. The project requires immediate working capital investments equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. After that, working capital will remain at 10% of the following year's expected sales. They expect sales to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years. Total…
Granger, a division of a company, is considering a five-year investment opportunity which will require building a new factory which will cost £3.2 million and which will have scrap value of £0.5m. Granger has undertaken a survey to determine whether land it currently ows will be suitable land on which to build the factory. The survey cost £150,000. The land currently contains a building which will have to be demolished at a cost of £230,000 if the company decides to go ahead with the project. The current building is rented out on a five-year contract by Granger to Black, another division of the same company, at an annual rent of £l10,000. If Granger goes ahead with the project, Black will renta building from another company at the same cost. If Granger builds the factory it expects sales of £1.1 million next year and expects the sales receipts to increase by 5% per year after the first year due to inflation. This estimate of sales is the result of market research wfich cost Granger…
You have been asked to evaluate the proposed purchase of a new machine by your company. The price of the new machine is £250,000, and it will cost an additional £25,000 to adapt it to the company’s purpose. The company might try to sell the machine after five years, but it is very unlikely to get a meaningful (material) price. Depreciation is based on the straight-line method. Use of the machine would require an increase in net working capital of £15,000, which would be recovered in the final year of the investment. The machine is expected to save the firm £50,000 per year in operating costs. The corporate tax rate is 40%. Required: a. What is the initial investment outlay associated with the machine purchase? b. What is the terminal cash flow in year five? c. Critically examine the treatment of working capital in the above case. d. If the project’s required rate of return is 15%, should the equipment be purchased? e. Undertake a detailed critical evaluation of how your company could…
Mo Salah, owner of Liverpool Limited, was approached by a local dealer in air conditioning units. The dealer proposed replacing the old cooling system of the company with a modern, more efficient system. The cost of the new system was quoted at R140 000, but it would save R30 000 per year in energy costa. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital at 10%. Required: Calculate the projects Internal Rate of Return (IRR).
A firm is considering purchasing equipment that will reduce cost by P400,000. The equipment costs P300,000 and has a salvage value of P50,000 and a life of 7 years. The annual maintenance cost is P6,000. While not in use by the firm, the equipment can be rented to others to generate an income of P10,000 per year. If money can be invested for an 8 per cent return, is the firm justified in buying the equipment?
You are appraising a four-year project with sales equal to £100,000 per year and operating costs equal to £50,000 per year. It requires an initial investment in machinery of £80,000, and an initial investment in working capital of £10,000. No other investments are required during the life of the project. To operate the project, your firm will use a field currently owned by the company. The company is not planning to use this field for other projects, but can rent it out for four years for £10,000 per year. The machinery is depreciated to zero using the straight-line method over four years. The corporate tax rate is 30%. Taxes are paid in the same year as when the profits are made. The risk free rate of return and the expected return on the market portfolio are 5% and 10%, respectively. The company beta and project beta are, respectively, 1.5 and 1. The cost of capital is 10%. All cash flows occur at year end, except the initial investment which takes place today. Calculate the free…
NUBD Co. has an opportunity to acquire a new machine to replace one of its present machines. The new machine would cost P90,000, have a five year life, and no estimated salvage value. Variable operating costs would be P100,000 per year. The present machine has a book value of P50,000 and a remaining life of five years. Its disposal value now is P5,000, but it would be zero after five years. Variable operating costs would be P125,000 per year. Ignore present value calculations and income taxes. Considering the five years in total, what would be the difference in profit before income taxes by acquiring the new machine as opposed to retaining the present one?
Super Apparel wants to replace an old machine with a new one. The new machine would increase annual revenue by $200,000 and annual operating expenses by $80,000. The new machine would cost $400, 000. The estimated useful life of the machine is 10 years with zero salvage value. i. Compute the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) of the machine using the above information. ii. Should Super Apparel purchase the machine if management wants an Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) of 19% on all capital investments? Hint: Use Average Income or Profit after deducting tax, depreciation, and operating expenses.

The ABC Ltd is analysing the costs and benefits of setting up an extra fast-food outlet in Adelaide. The predicted costs and income flows are provided below: $2 million site acquisition and development costs. The capital depreciation expense is $50,000 per year. Investment in plant and equipment of $600,000. The plant and equipment have an estimated useful life of 5 years and the residual value would be zero. The plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis for tax purposes. The forecasted sales in year 1 is $600,000 and $800,000 per year thereafter. Labour and material costs are equivalent to 50 per cent of incremental sales. The policy (objective) is to sell the outlet at the end of year 3. The estimated selling price is $3.5 million. Sales in a similar outlet of ABC Ltd will decline by $80,000 per year due to loss of customers and experienced staff to the new venture. Other operating costs are about $150,000 per year (fixed) The net working capital requirement at…
