QUESTION 1
Agro Tech Corporation is considering investing in a new IT system for selling to its clients. The company has
identified two new possible systems, which would be suitable for its customers. Only one of the systems can be
selected and the directors are looking for guidance on which system would be the best. The company requires a
15% rate of return on projects of this nature.
The installation cost per project will be R100 000 each, while systems can be disposed for R200 000 each after
five- years life span.

A3 9a
You are considering a project that will supply an automobile production facility with 35,000 tonnes of machine screws annually for five years. To get the project started, you will need an initial investment of $1,500,000 in threading equipment. The project will last for five years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $300,000 and that variable costs should be $200 per tonne. The CCA rate for threading equipment is 20%. Accounting estimates a salvage value of $500,000 after costs of dismantling. The marketing department estimates that the auto makers will accept the contract at a selling price of $250 per tonne. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $450,000. You require a 15% return and face a marginal tax rate of 38% on this project.
a. What is the NPV for this project? Should you pursue this project?
