Armed with this information, Mr. Tar constructed a spreadsheet to calculate the NPV of the duffel canvas project, assuming that
Sheetbend's bid would be accepted by the navy.
He had just finished debugging the spreadsheet when another confidential envelope arrived from Sheetbend's CEO. It contained a firm
offer from a Maine real estate developer to purchase Sheetbend's Pleasantboro land and plant for $1.5 million in cash.
Should Mr. Tar recommend submitting the bid to the navy at the proposed price of $30 per yard? The discount rate for this project is 12%.

MINICASE
Jack Tar, CFO of Sheetbend & Halyard Inc., opened the internal company confidential envelope. It contained a draft of a competitive bid
for a contract to supply duffel canvas to the U.S. Navy. The cover memo from Sheetbend's CEO asked Mr. Tar to review the bid before it
was submitted.
The bid and its supporting documents had been prepared by Sheetbend's sales staff. It called for Sheetbend to supply 100,000 yards of
duffel canvas per year for 5 years. The proposed selling price was fixed at $30 per yard.
Mr. Tar was not usually involved in sales, but this bid was unusual in at least two respects. First, if accepted by the navy, it would commit
Sheetbend to a fixed-price, long-term contract. Second, producing the duffel canvas would require an investment of $1.5 million to
purchase machincry and to refurbish Sheetbend's plant in Pleasantboro, Maine.
Mr. Tar set to work and, by the end of the week, had collected the following facts and assumptions:
• The plant in Pleasantboro had been built in the early 1900s and is now idle. The plant was fully depreciated on Sheetbend's books,
except for the purchase cost of the land of $10,000.
• Now that the land was valuable shorefront property, Mr. Tar thought the land and the idle plant could be sold, immediately or in the
near future, for $600,000.
• Refurbishing the plant would cost $500,000. This investment would be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over 10 years.
• The new machinery would cost $1 million. This investment could be depreciated straight-line over 5 years.
• The refurbished plant and new machinery would last for many years. However, the remaining market for duffel canvas was small, and it
was not clear that additional orders could be obtained once the navy contract was finished. The machinery was custom-built and could
be used only for duffel canvas. Its secondhand value at the end of 5 years was probably zero.
L Table 9.2 shows the sales staff's forecasts of income from the navy contract. Mr. Tar reviewed this forecast and decided that its
assumptions were reasonable.
• But the forecast income statement contained no mention of working capital. Mr. Tar thought that working capital would average about
