Problem 9-19 Project Evaluation (LO2, LO3) United Pigpen is considering a proposal to manufacture high-protein hog feed. The project would require use of an existing warehouse, which is currently rented out to a neighboring firm. The next year's rental charge on the warehouse is $185,000, and thereafter, the rent is expected to grow in line with Inflation at 4% a year. In addition to using the warehouse, the proposal envisages an Investment in plant and equipment of $1.71 million. This could be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over 10 years. However, Pigpen expects to terminate the project at the end of 8 years and to resell the plant and equipment in year 8 for $570,000. Finally, the project requires an immediate Investment in working capital of $435,000. Thereafter, working capital is forecasted to be 10% of sales In each of years 1 through 7. Working capital will be run down to zero in year 8 when the project shuts down. Year 1 sales of hog feed are expected to be $5.90…
Question 3 The CEO of Asempa farms limited is considering whether to plant this year’s yam with a fertilizer or go organic (i.e. without fertilizer). In case of using a fertilizer, 10kg of either the Platinum or Standard type fertilizer would be needed at the start of the planting year. The Platinum type is GH¢1000 per kilogram and could lead to a high yield of 30 tons or a moderate yield of 20 tons of yam at the end of the year. The Standard type is GH¢800 per kilogram and could also lead to a high yield of 15 tons or a moderate yield of 10 tons of yam at the end of the year. The Standard has fewer chemicals and would lead to tastier yam that sells for a higher price than that of Platinum. There is a probability of 0.7 that high yield would be recorded at the end of the year. Market price for yam is uncertain and depends on the type as well as the volume of yam on the market. Generally, a year of high yield results in higher volume whiles a year of moderate yield leads to moderate…
Question 1 Health for All (“H4A”) is launching a new innovative hand sanitizer. However, due to intense research and development required to meet regulatory requirements, H4A wants to ensure they charge the correct price to recover all these costs. Through their research they identified that if they charge $60 per bottle of sanitizer, 250 000 bottles will be demanded per year. They expect that the demand for sanitizers will fall in the next three years therefore they have estimated this product to have a life of 3 years. Given the current Covid-19 pandemic, many other businesses are also selling hand sanitizers. Therefore the market that H4A wants to enter has a very high elastic demand. It has thus been observed that if H4A increases its price by $2, the demand will fall by 2 000 bottles while a reduction in price by the same amount will increase demand by 2 000 bottles as well. The production of the sanitizers will incur the following costs per year at differing levels of production.…
