Conduct a capital budget for capital projects. Evaluate capital projects and make recommendations to sport organizations using capital budget data. Homework Instructions Submit TWO FILES for this homework assignment. In this Word document , enter your final answers. In addition to this Word document, upload an Excel spreadsheet to support all the final answers you typed for this assignment. I will not accept assignments that are handwritten. You have to show all your working by using an Excel spreadsheet to support your answer in the document file. I will not accept submissions that did not upload an Excel spreadsheet that demonstrates how you found your final answers in this document.

Problem # 1 : (10 points) A facility upgrade for women’s softball has a cost of $65,125, expected net cash inflows are $9,000 per year for 20 years, and a cost of capital of 11%. The project has a useful life of 20 years, but your organization does not have a maximum payback period . a) What is the project’s payback period? (2 points) Paid back period is 7.24 years SPMGT 374 1
b) What is the project’s discounted payback period? (2 points) Discount Payback period is in 15.24 years c) What is the project’s NPV? (2 points) The NPV is $6544.95 d) What is the project’s IRR? (2 points) The IRR is 12.51% e) Should the facility upgrade be accepted? Why or why not? (2 points) There is no maximum payback period but I would accept this because it will be 7.24 years and the IRR is higher than capital cost at 11%. Remember to enter your final answers in this Word document and to upload an Excel spreadsheet to demonstrate the working of your final answers.

Problem # 2 : (20 points) You work for a professional sport franchise that is considering purchasing a new digital scoreboard or renovating signage area on the outside of the stadium. The franchise can take out one loan at 7% interest that it can use for either investment but not both investments . Use the following information to decide whether or not to buy the scoreboard. Scoreboard The scoreboard will cost $100,000. You can trade in the old scoreboard for a $5,000 discount. Small changes to the stadium are required to install the new board, totaling $20,000. Installation will cost $3,000. The scoreboard will have a useful life of 10 years and has no salvage value. Straight- line depreciation can be applied to the asset. The company’s tax rate is 21%. The franchise expects to sell an extra $20,000 worth of sponsorships a year with the new scoreboard. Increases in fan satisfaction are also expected to increase ticket revenue by $10,000 a year. The scoreboard will also increase maintenance and utility costs by $2,000 a year. a) What is the initial cost of the scoreboard? (1 point) The initial cost is $100,00-$5,000+$20,000+$3,000= $118,000. This is the discount for the old board, new installations, and cost to install the scoreboard to get your initial cost. SPMGT 374 2
b) What is the incremental cash flow of the scoreboard for the first year (including the tax benefits)? (1 point) The incremental cash flow with the tax benefit is the revenue plus sponsorship, minus maintence plus tax savings which is $10,000+$20,000-$2,000+$1,512 = $29,512 c) d) What is the project’s payback period? (2 points) 3.78 years e) What is the project’s discounted payback period? (2 points) 3.78 years f) What is the project’s NPV? (2 points) NPV is $112,279.94 g) What is the project’s IRR? (2 points) IRR is 29% Remember to enter your final answers in this Word document and to upload an Excel spreadsheet to demonstrate the working of your final answers. Be sure to use a different tab for each problem and to use headings within the spreadsheet to present your work with clarity. Signage area The signage area renovation will cost $100,000. The renovations can be depreciated using straight-line depreciation over 39 years and the signage area has no salvage value. The company’s tax rate is 21%. The franchise expects to sell an extra $22,000 worth of sponsorships a year with the renovated signage area for the remaining 39 years of the stadium life. h) What is the initial cost of the signage area renovation? (1 point) The inital cost of the score board is $100,000 i) What is the incremental cash flow of the signage area renovation for the first year (including the tax benefits)?

The NPV is $198,971.08 m) What is the project’s IRR? (2 points) The IRR is 22.5% Remember to enter your final answers in this Word document and to upload an Excel spreadsheet to demonstrate the working of your final answers. Be sure to use a different tab for each problem and to use headings within the spreadsheet to present your work with clarity. n) Which project should the franchise invest in? Explain your answer in detail, including (1) an explanation of which method they should use to make the decision and (2) the advantages and disadvantages of the method as they apply to the scoreboard and signage area projects. (5 points) Looking at the NPV, I would invest in the second project because it is higher than the first project. This means that the second project will generate more profit by the end of the project. The advanatages of this method are the fact that the NPV takes into consideration that a dollar today is worth more than the future and it shows clearly which project will generate more money. The disadvantage of this method are that NPV is basically just an assumption based on the discount rate and cannot always be 100% accurate. SPMGT 374 4
