Overview
Financial managers need to carefully plan for projects that require much funding and
have revenue streams lasting long into the future, like stadiums. The purpose of this
homework assignment is for you to use capital budgeting methods to evaluate such
projects.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this homework, you will be able to:
●
Calculate payback period, discounted payback period, net present value and IRR
for different capital projects.
●
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.
When in doubt, providing more details of your working is safer than less.
Be sure to use a different tab for each problem and use headings within the
spreadsheet to present your work with clarity. You will also lose points for poor
formatting.
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. Be sure to use a
different tab for each problem and to use headings within the spreadsheet to present
your work with clarity.
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)?
(1 point)
$22,000 (sponsorship) + $538.46 (tax savings) = $22,538.46
j)
What is the project’s payback period?
(2 points)
4.44 years
k)
What is the project’s discounted payback period?
(2 points)
5.51 years
l)

m) What is the project’s IRR?
(2 points)

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.

When Yvonne was twelve, her grandfather gave her $6,000 to be used for college. Yvonne was a good student and dreamed of going to a good school, so she invested the gift in a 10-year bank CD earning 6¼%. She received a generous scholarship and never needed to use the money from her grandfather.
After graduating from college at age 22, she began working at a great job. Knowing the value of early investing, she began saving for retirement right away. When the CD matured, she put it into an investment account earning 7% and made an additional annual…
