**Grady-White Boats, Inc. Project Evaluation**Grady-White Boats, Inc. is evaluating a project that will require an additional inventory investment of $1,129,000. Additionally, the project will lead to an increase in accounts payable by $450,000, as suppliers are agreeable to finance part of these purchases. The current accounts receivable stand at $800,000 and are anticipated to rise by 10% if the project is approved. The firm's cash requirements are projected to remain unchanged.**Question:**What is the incremental change to net working capital as a result of accepting this project?**Options:**- A. $1,479,000- B. $1,659,000- C. $759,000- D. $599,000- E. $1,499,000**Explanation:**To calculate the incremental change in net working capital, consider the inventory increase, accounts payable change, and the adjustment in accounts receivable. The overall effect on the net working capital will be determined by adding the increase in inventory to the increase in accounts receivable, and then subtracting the increase in accounts payable.

In this question, we are required to determine the incremental change in working capital.The incremental change in net working capital can be calculated as follows:Incremental Change in Net Working Capital = Change in Current Assets - Change in Current LiabilitiesChange in Current Assets:Increase in inventory due to the project = $1,129,000Increase in accounts receivable due to the project (10% of $800,000) = $80,000Change in Current Liabilities:Increase in accounts payable due to the project = $450,000Now, we will calculate the incremental change in net working capital:Incremental Change in Net Working Capital = ($1,129,000 + $80,000) - $450,000Incremental Change in Net Working Capital = $1,209,000 - $450,000 Incremental Change in Net Working Capital = $759,000So, the incremental change to net working capital as a result of accepting this project is $759,000. Option C is the correct answer.

Blur Corp. is looking at investing in a production facility that will require an initial investment of $500,000. The facility will have a three-year useful life, and it will not have any salvage value at the end of the project’s life. If demand is strong, the facility will be able to generate annual cash flows of $250,000, but if demand turns out to be weak, the facility will generate annual cash flows of only $120,000. Blur Corp. thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong and a 50% chance that demand will be weak.

Wavy Inc is examining a project that requires an initial investment of -10 million today. This will be followed by several years of positive incremental after-tax cash flows. However, during the last year of the project's life Wavy expects that the incremental cash flow will again be negative. By which method should Wavy determine whether or not to invest? A) Both NPV or IRR are fine, as they must arrive at same investment decision B) IRR, because there will be no NPV solution in this case C) Neither NPV or IRR are useful in this situation D) NPV, since this project will have two IRRs

Consider this case: Blue Llama Mining Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Delta) that will require an initial investment of $1,400,000. Blue Llama Mining Company has been basing capital budgeting decisions on a project’s NPV; however, its new CFO wants to start using the IRR method for capital budgeting decisions. The CFO says that the IRR is a better method because percentages and returns are easier to understand and to compare to required returns. Blue Llama Mining Company’s WACC is 7%, and project Delta has the same risk as the firm’s average project.
