- Temporary Housing Services Incorporated (THSI) is considering a project that involves setting up a temporary housing facility in an area recently damaged by a hurricane. THSI will lease space in this facility to various agencies and groups providing relief services to the area. THSI estimates that this project will initially cost $4 million to set up and will generate $20 million in revenues during its first and only year in operation (paid in one year). Operating expenses are expected to total $8 million during this year and depreciation expense will be another $2 million. THSI will require no working capital for this investment. THSI's tax-rate is 20% Assume that THSI's cost of capital for this project is 15%.

The old milling machine has been fully depreciated but can be sold for $15,000. The new machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 10-year economic life to an estimated salvage value of $10,000. If this milling machine will save Jasper $20,000 a year in production expenses, what are the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of this machine?

The machine required for the project costs $3.82 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $2.52 million per year for the next four years, after which the firm expects to sell it for $500,000. The machine is a five-year class asset and will be depreciated down to zero over five years under the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. Howell also needs to add net working capital of $200,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. The required rate of return (or discount rate) for the project is 12.5 percent. Compute the NPV, IRR, and payback period of the project. The firm’s acceptable payback period is 3 years. Is this project acceptable to the firm?arrow_forward

Divisional performance is measured using ROI with beginning-of-year net book values in the denominator. The company's cost of capital is 7 percent. Ignore taxes. The division manager learns that there is an option to lease the asset on a year-to-year lease for $1,162,000 per year. All depreciation and other tax benefits would accrue to the lessor.
