Secure Homes is pondering an opportunity to produce and sell a new smart home monitoring system that can be managed remotely using a smartphone app. The company has gathered the following data on probable costs and market potential: a. New equipment would have to be acquired to produce the monitoring system. The equipment would cost $311,000 and be usable for 12 years. After 12 years, it would have a salvage value equal to 10% of the original cost. b. Production and sales of the monitoring system would require a working capital investment of $137,000 to finance accounts receivable, inventories, and day-to- day cash needs. This working capital would be released for use elsewhere by the company after 12 years. c. An extensive marketing study projects sales in units over the next 12 years as follows: Sales in Year(s) 1 2 Units 4,140 7,400 3 10,160 4-12 12,100 d. The monitoring systems would sell for $130 each; variable costs for production, administration, and sales would be $77 per unit. e. To gain entry into the market, the company would have to advertise heavily in the early years of sales. The advertising program follows: Amount of Year(s) Advertising 1-2 $219,000 173,000 3 4-12 146,000 f. Other fixed costs for salaries, insurance, maintenance, and straight-line depreciation on equipment would total $360,000 per year. (Depreciation is based on cost less salvage value.) g. The company's required rate of return is 13%. (Ignore income taxes.) 1. Compute the net cash inflow (cash receipts less yearly cash operating expenses) anticipated from sale of the monitoring systems for each year over the next 12 years. (Enter any cash outflows with a minus sign. Round your intermediate and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.) The net cash inflow from sales of the device for each year would be: Sales in units Contribution margin Less fixed expenses: Advertising Other fixed expenses Total fixed expenses Net cash inflow (outflow) Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4-12 4,140 7,400 10,160 12,100 2-a. Using the data computed in requirement (1) above and other data provided in the problem, determine the net present value of the proposed investment. (Hint: Use Microsoft Excel to calculate the discount factor(s).) (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and PV factor. Round the final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Net present value 2-b. Would you recommend that Secure Homes invest in the new product? ○ Yes ○ No 3. What is the project's internal rate of return? (Hint: Use Microsoft Excel to calculate the discount factor(s).) (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Internal rate of return %
