With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a “surf lifestyle for the home.” With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent people’s homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 10,200 in the first year, with growth of 7 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require $49,000 in net working capital to start. Total fixed costs are $131,000 per year, variable production costs are $18 per unit, and the units are priced at $60 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $585,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a 5-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The tax rate is 22 percent and the required rate of return is 17 percent. What is the NPV of this project?

With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates
decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a “surf lifestyle for the home.”
With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent
people's homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 7,200 in the first year,
with growth of 6 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will
require $37,000 in net working capital to start. The net working capital will be recovered
at the end of the project. Total fixed costs are $97,000 per year, variable production
costs are $15 per unit, and the units are priced at $45 each. The equipment needed to
begin production will cost $177,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the
straight-line method over a five-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value.
The effective tax rate is 22 percent and the required rate of return is 30 percent. What is

The estimated investment cost for this project is RM100 million with 3 year project life. Demand for the product, and therefore the project risk, is a function of the demand for Internet connections. The CFO working with marketing, currently estimates a 25% chance that such demand will be high, a 50% probability that demand will be medium, and a 25% probability that demand will be low. Associated after tax cash flows under each of these three market scenarios are estimated as follows: RM70 million, RMS0 million, and RM5 million. For projects of this nature, a 15% discount rate (equal to the firm's weighted average cost of capital) is assumed. Because starting the project immediately on day 1 results in negative NPV of RM0.109 million, management of the company has decided to avoid risk by delaying the implementation of the project for…arrow_forward

In 2019, John and John Plc plans to launch these new vacuum cleaners if the project is financially feasible. Research and development costs incurred in the past three years amount to £150,000. Advertising is expected to cost £25,000 in year 1. Advertising costs will reduce by 10% every year thereafter. The company expects that sales in the first year will be £800,000, second and third year sales will be £650,000 and sales in the fourth year will be £600,000.

- 3) New Project Investment| Wally loves your analysis. He has now asked you to evaluate potential new project investments. Both projects aim to make widgets. Widgets sell for $10 each. Project A will produce 4,500 units in the first year, 6,500 units in the second and third years and a whopping 44,000 units in the fourth year. Project A requires an investment of 7 machines each costing $50,000. Project B will produce 2,400 units in the first year, 2,200 units in the second year, 1,950 units in the third year and 1,460 units in the fourth year. Project B requires an initial investment of 1 machine worth $50,000. Wally has said that to make the analysis easier - you need not calculate depreciation on the machine, the tax shelter benefit or the residual value of the machine at the end of production. Wally just said I want you understand the cash flows from the information provided above. (a) Calculate the net present value for each of Project A and Project B, assuming a 15% cost of…arrow_forwardAustins cell phone manufacturer wants to upgrade their product mix to encompass an exciting new feature on their cell phone. This would require a new high-tech machine. You are excited about his new project and are recommending the purchase to your board of directors. Here is the information you have compiled in order to complete this recommendation: According to the information, the project will last 10 years and require an initial investment of $800,000, depreciated with straight-line over the life of the project until the final value is zero. The firms tax rate is 30% and the required rate of return is 12%. You believe that the variable cost and sales volume may be as much as 10% higher or lower than the initial estimate. Your boss understands the risks but asks you to explain the alternatives in a brief memo to the board, Write a memo to the Board of Directors objectively weighing out the pros and cons of this project and make your recommendation(s).arrow_forwardGina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?arrow_forward
