ABC Corporation has hired you to evaluate a new FOUR year project for the firm. The project will require the purchase of a $843,200.00 work cell. Further, it will cost the firm $51,700.00 to get the work cell delivered and installed. The work cell will be straight-line depreciated to zero with a 20-year useful life. The project will require new employees to be trained at a cost of $59,100.00. The project will also use a piece of equipment the firm already owns. The equipment has been fully depreciated, but has a market value of $5,200.00. Finally, the firm will invest $10,800.00 in net working capital to ensure the project has sufficient resources to be successful. The project will generate annual sales of $917,000.00 with expenses estimated at 38.00% of sales. Net working capital will be held constant throughout the project. The tax rate is 40.00%. The work cell is estimated to have a market value of $489,000.00 at the end of the fourth year. The firm expects to reclaim 85.00% of the…

The Chief Operations Officer (COO) of a manufacturing firm recommends one of the manufacturing sites to undergo a process improvement initiative. He claims that this project will enable the company to realize a net savings of at least $3.25 Mln. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the company tasked you to conduct a financial analysis to verify the claims of the COO. After performing cost analysis, you estimated that the project will require an initial investment of $2 Mln today and $1 Mln in Year 1. Afterwards, the initiative will yield an annual cost savings of $850k from Year 2 to Year 10. You assume that these cost savings are realized at the end of each year.    (a) Suppose that you use a discount rate of 5%. Will the resulting net savings support the claim of the COO? (b) Determine the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the process improvement initiative. (c) Show the NPV profile of the project.

The production manager on the Ofon Phase 2 offshore platform operated by Total S.A. must purchase specialized environmental equipment or an equivalent service. The first cost is $250,000 with an AOC of $66,000. The manager has let it be known that he does not care about the salvage value because he thinks it will make no difference in the decision-making process. His supervisor estimates the salvage might be as high as $100,000 or as low as $10,000 in 3 years, at which time the equipment will be unnecessary. Alternatively, a subcontractor can provide the service for $165,000 per year. The total offshore project MARR is 13% per year. Determine if the decision to buy the equipment is sensitive to the salvage value.     The annual worth of high salvage value is $______________                                           142,525 incorrect..   The annual worth of low salvage value is $_______________                                           168,940 incorrect..   Decision is sensitive…

Kindly help me solve this problem using Excel. Have to calculate the payback period for the project, calculate the NPV for the project and calculate the IRR for the project.

You are a manager at Northern Fibre, which is considering expanding its operations in synthetic fibre manufacturing. Your boss comes into your office, drops a consultant's report on your desk, and complains, "We owe these consultants $1.5 million for this report, and I am not sure their analysis makes sense. Before we spend the $17 million on new equipment needed for this project, look it over and give me your opinion." You open the report and find the following estimates (in millions of dollars): Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold = Gross profit - General, sales, and administrative expenses - Depreciation = Net operating income 1 2 28.000 28.000 16.800 16.800 11.200 11.200 1.360 1.360 1.700 1.700 8.1400 8.1400 9 28.000 16.800 11.200 1.360 1.700 8.1400 10 28.000 16.800 11.200 1.360 1.700 8.1400 b. If the cost of capital for this project is 9%, what is your estimate of the value of the new project? Value of project = $ million (Round to three decimal places.)

The property is expected to appreciate in value at 3 percent per year and is expected to be owned for five years and then sold.   Required: a. What is the first-year debt coverage ratio? b. What is the terminal capitalization rate? c. What is the investor’s expected before-tax internal rate of return on equity invested (BTIRR)? d.…

Ayayai Inc., a manufacturer of steel school lockers, plans to purchase a new punch press for use in its manufacturing process. After contacting the appropriate vendors, the purchasing department received differing terms and options from each vendor. The Engineering Department has determined that each vendor's punch press is substantially identical and each has a useful life of 20 years. In addition, Engineering has estimated that required year-end maintenance costs will be $1,020 per year for the first 5 years, $2,020 per year for the next 10 years, and $3,020 per year for the last 5 years. Following is each vendor's sales package. Vendor A: $51,520 cash at time of delivery and 10 year-end payments of $19.750 each.
