PROBLEM 13C-3 Income Taxes and Net Present Value Analysis LO13-8
Lander Company has an opportunity to pursue a capital budgeting project with a five-year time horizon. After careful study, Lander estimated the following costs and revenues for the project:

Cost of equipment needed………………………………….. $250,000
Working capital needed…………………………………….. $60,000
Repair the equipment in two years………………………….. $18,000
Annual revenues and costs:

Sales revenues………………………………………………… $350,000
Variable expenses…………………………………………….. $180,000
Fixed out-of-pocket operating costs………………………….. $80,000

The piece of equipment mentioned above has a useful life of five years and zero salvage value. Lander uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting and tax purposes. The company's tax rate is 30% and its after tax cost of capital is 12%. When the project concludes in five years the working capital will be released for investment elsewhere within the company.

Required:

  1. Calculate the annual income tax expense for each of years 1 through 5 that will arise as a result of this investment opportunity.
  2. Calculate the net present value of this investment opportunity.

ST-2 CAPITAL BUDGETING CRITERIA You must analyze two projects, X and Y. Each project costs $10,000, and the firm's WACC is 12%. The expected net cash flows are as follows: 2 3 Project X -$10,000 Project Y -$10,000 $6,500 $3,500 $3,000 $3,500 $3,000 $3,500 $1,000 $3,500 a. Calculate each project's NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback. b. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent? c. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive? d. How might a change in the WACC produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankings of the two projects? Would there be a conflict if WACC were 5%? (Hint: Plot the NPV profiles. The crossover rate is 6.21875%.) e. Why does the conflict exist?
B Assume the following information for a capital budgeting proposal with a five-year time horizon: Initial investment: Cost of equipment (zero salvage value) Annual revenues and costs: Sales revenues Variable expenses Depreciation expense Fixed out-of-pocket costs This proposal's simple rate of return is closest to: Multiple Choice O 27%. 16%. 19% 11% $ 485,000 $ 300,000 $ 130,000 $ 50,000 $ 40,000
