You are evaluating a product for your company. You estimate the sales price of the product to be $200 per unit and sales volume to be 2,000 units in year 1; 5,000 units in year 2; and 1,000 units in year 3. The project has a three-year life. Variable costs amount to $75 per unit and fixed costs are $200,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $360,000 in assets that will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the three-year project life. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $40,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 20 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return on the project is 13 percent. What will the year 2 free cash flow for this project be? Multiple Choice $170,412 $192,500 $201,300 $520,950
Lithium, Inc. is considering two mutually exclusive projects, A and B. Project A costs $95,000 and is expected to generate $65,000 in year one and $75,000 in year two.

A new heat exchanger must be installed by CSI, Inc. Alternative A has an initial cost of $33,400, and Alternative B has an initial cost of $47,500. Both alternatives are expected to last 10 for years. The annual cost of operating the heat exchanger depends on ambient temperature in the plant and on energy costs. The estimate of the cost and probabilities for each alternative is given. If CSI has a MARR of 8% and uses rate of return analysis for all capital decisions, which exchanger should be purchased?
