Better Mousetraps has developed a new trap. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $6.3 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line over 6 years, but, in fact, it can be sold after 6 years for $583,000. The firm believes that working capital at each date must be maintained at a level of 10% of next year’s forecast sales. The firm estimates production costs equal to $1.10 per trap and believes that the traps can be sold for $5 each. Sales forecasts are given in the following table. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the trap becomes technologically obsolete. The firm’s tax bracket is 40%, and the required rate of return on the project is 12%. Year: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Thereafter Sales (millions of traps) 0 0.6 0.8 0.9 0.9 0.8 0.6 0 Suppose the firm can cut its requirements for working capital in half by using better inventory control systems. By how much will this increase project NPV?
FastTrack Bikes, Inc. is thinking of developing a new composite road bike. Development will take six years and the cost is $200,000 per year. Once in production, the bike is expected to make $300,000 per year for 10 years. Assume the cost of capital is 10%. a. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity, assuming all cash flows occur at the end of each year. Should the company make the investment? b. By how much must the cost of capital estimate deviate to change the decision? (Hint: Use Excel to calculate the IRR.) c. What is the NPV of the investment if the cost of capital is 14%? Note: Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the appropriate year and that the inflows do not start until year 7.

Solar Calculator Company proposes to invest $9 million in a new calculator-making plant. Fixed costs are $3 million per year. A solar calculator costs $10 per unit to manufacture and sells for $50 per unit. If the plant lasts for three years and the cost of capital is 10% p.a., what is the break-even level (i.e., NPV = 0) of annual sales? Assume that revenues and costs occur at the end of each year. Assume straight line depreciation and tax rate of 20%. a. 169,345 units b. 263,095 units c. 228,000 units d. None of the above.
A new electronic process monitor costs $990,000. This cost could be depreciated at 30% per year (Class 10). The monitor would actually be worth $100,000 in five years. The new monitor would save $460,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. The new monitor requires us to increase net working capital by $47,200 when we buy it. Assume a tax rate of 40% and a 15% return. a. Suppose the monitor was assigned a 25% CCA rate. Calculate the new NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) ***NOTE*** Hello, I found an answer key saying the answer is $180,108.50. Hopefully this helps for reference when solving for it. Thanks:)
You are considering investing in a glove manufacturing plant for which you need to immediately pay RM10 million. You expect to produce and sell 10,000 gloves per year. Production commences after 12 months, i.e, at the end of year 1 (which is also the begining of Year 2). You expect production cost to be RM50 per glove. Selling price is estimated at RM100 per glove for the first three years of sales. You are not sure about the sales price after Year 3 because your exclusive patent right expired then. The plant facilities last for 8 years. Cost of capital is 8%. Compute the glove's sales price after Year 3. and this project's NPV Don't you think the price after year 3 is the same as the marginal cost, since at optimum level of output, marginal revenue=marginal cost?
