Operating costs are an important criteria when selecting what machinery would be the best choice for a company. What is the EUAW of this investment that costs $53,700, has annual benefits of $8,162/year, annual costs of $1,540/year, and a disposal cost of $4,800 at the end of its useful life? It has a useful life of 14 years. Use a 15% MARR.
Oakmont Company has an opportunity to manufacture and sell a new product for a four-year period. After careful study, Oakmont estimated the following costs and revenues for the new product: When the project concludes in four years the working capital will be released for investment elsewhere within the company. Required: Using Excel (this will save you time and effort) answer the following: Oakmont’s cost of capital is 15%, and management does not feel it should have any adjustment for risk, compute the NPV. Same situation as (a), but management does feel this project does possess a greater than average risk, so 19% should be the required rate of return. Compute the NPV. Management is concerned that Sales Revenues and Expenses could be rising due to inflationary factors. So the projection for year 1 is as shown, but that sales revenues will grow by 2% per year for years 2-4; and that variable expenses will grow by 4% per year for years 2-4, and that fixed out-of-pocket operating…
Bulla Dairy Foods is evaluating acquiring a new production line to manufacture a flavoured thick cream. The cost of purchasing and installing the equipment is estimated to be $1,500,000 today, with an additional $10,000 required for maintenance in the third year of operation. The projected revenue for the first year of operation is $500,000, although it is expected to decline at 5% per annum due to market competition. The annual operating costs are estimated at 20% of the annual revenue. The machine has a lifespan of 5 years, after which it is expected to be sold for 10% of its original cost. The purchase of the production line will be financed 60% through debt, which carries an interest rate of 6% per annum, while shareholders expect a return that is 3% higher than creditors. a) Draw the timeline and set out net cash flows by year. b) Calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of this project. c) Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of this project. Explain if the project…
