Chapter 11, Problem 2SP
(Relevant cash flows) Captins’ Cereal is considering introducing a variation of its current breakfast cereal, Crunch Stuff. The new cereal will be similar to the old with the exception that it will contain sugarcoated marshmallows shaped in the form of stars and will be called Crunch Stuff n’ Stars. It is estimated that the sales for the new cereal will be $25 million; however, 20 percent of those sales will be former Crunch Stuff customers who have switched to Crunch Stuff n’ Stars but who would not have switched if the new product had not been introduced. What is the relevant sales level to consider when deciding whether to introduce Crunch Stuff n’ Stars?

Pisa Pizza, a seller of frozen pizza, is considering introducing a healthier version of its pizza that will be low in
cholesterol and contain no trans fats. The firm expects that sales of the new pizza will be $17 million per year. While
many of these sales will be to new customers, Pisa Pizza estimates that 38% will come from customers who switch to
the new, healthier pizza instead of buying the original version.

Net revenue from the new line of pizzas is expected to total $500,000 per year, but 15% of this net revenue is forecast to consist of people switching from the regular pizzas to the gluten-free pizzas. How would you describe this situation in terms of the NPV analysis upon which the situation will be based. Question 1Answer a. There is a negative externality equal to $425,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis for the gluten-free pizza project. b. There is a positive externality equal to $425,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis for the gluten-free pizza project. c.

- Durango Cereal Company is considering adding two new kinds of cereal to its product line—one geared toward children and the other toward adults. The company is currently at full capacity and will have to invest a large sum in machinery and production space. However, given the nature of cereal production, the investment in machinery will be more costly for the children’s cereal (Poofy Puffs) than for the adult cereal (Filling Fiber). The expected cash flows for the two cereals are: Year Poofy Puffs Filling Fiber 0 −$24,890,000 −$13,500,000 1 12,950,000 7,230,000 2 10,923,000 8,100,000 3 8,231,000 8,629,000 4 7,242,000 5,238,900 Management requires a minimum return of 15% in order for the project to be acceptable.

- Parasite Engineering is developing a new product for the parasitic market that services parasites. The opportunity is estimated to be worth $1.0B measured in today’s dollars. The company will need to spend $500M today to begin the research. In five years, the company will have to make a decision as to whether to go into full scale production and begin selling the drug. At that time, the company estimates it will cost $1.5B to move forward.

The project would make use of an existing warehouse, which is currently rented out to a neighboring firm. The next year's rental charge on the warehouse is $120,000, and thereafter the rent is expected to grow in line with inflation at 3% a year. In addition to using the warehouse, the proposal envisages an investment in plant and equipment of $1.5 million. This could be depreciated for tax purposes over 10 years. However, Mamafu expects to terminate the project at the end of eight years and to resell the plant and equipment in year 8 for $500,000. Finally, the project requires an initial investment in working capital of $400,000. Thereafter, working capital is forecasted to be 10% of sales in each of years 1 through 7. Year 1 sales of cricket snacks are expected to be $4 million, and thereafter sales are forecasted to grow by 4% a year, slightly faster than the inflation rate.

Sally has paid $3,000 for a marketing study which indicates that the new product line would have sales of $870,000 per year for the next six years.

The fixed assets will have no market value at the end of six years. Annual fixed costs are projected at $80,000 and variable costs are projected at 29% of sales. Net operating working capital requirements are $75,000 for the six-year life of the project; the outlay for working capital will be recovered at the end of six years.
