The company estimates that the following annual costs and revenues would be associated with the facilities expansion. Revenues Product sales price per unit $2 Sales Forecast 120,000 Expenses Maintenance 33,000 Salaries 132,200 Insurance 10,000 Total expenses 168,000 What is the ROI for the plant Expansion? Enter answer as a whole number. For example 5% would be entered as 5.
Talbot Industries is considering launching a new product. The new manufacturing equipment will cost $17 million, and production and sales will require an initial $5 million investment in net operating working capital. The company’s tax rate is 25%. What is the initial investment outlay? The company spent and expensed $150,000 on research related to the new product last year. What is the initial investment outlay? Rather than build a new manufacturing facility, the company plans to install the equipment in a building it owns but is not now using. The building could be sold for $1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions. What is the initial investment outlay?
A firm is considering renewing its equipment to meet increased demand for its product. The cost of equipment modifications is $1.82 million plus $111,000 in installation costs. The firm will depreciate the equipment modifications under MACRS, using a 5-year recovery period (see table attached.) Additional sales revenue from the renewal should amount to $1.24 million per year, and additional operating expenses and other costs (excluding depreciation and interest) will amount to 41% of the additional sales. The firm is subject to a tax rate of 21%. (Note:Answer the following questions for each of the next 6 years.) a. What net incremental earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes will result from the renewal? b. What net incremental operating profits after taxes will result from the renewal? c. What net incremental operating cash inflows will result from the renewal?
Thanks to acquisition of a key patent, your company now has exclusive production rights for barkelgassers (BGs) in North America. Production facilities for 235,000 BGs per year will require a $25.7 million immediate capital expenditure. Production costs are estimated at $72 per BG. The BG marketing manager is confident that all 235,000 units can be sold for $107 per unit (in real terms) until the patent runs out five years hence. After that, the marketing manager hasn’t a clue about what the selling price will be. Assume the real cost of capital is 11%. To keep things simple, also make the following assumptions: The technology for making BGs will not change. Capital and production costs will stay the same in real terms. Competitors know the technology and can enter as soon as the patent expires, that is, they can construct new plants in year 5 and start selling BGs in year 6. If your company invests immediately, full production begins after 12 months, that is, in year 1. (Assume it…
In order to increase production capacity, Global Industries is considering replacement an existing production machine with a new technologically improved machine effective January 1. The following information is being considered by Global Industries: • The new machine would purchased for P160,000 in cash. Shipping, installation, and testing would cost additional P30,000 • The new machine is expected to increase annual sales by 20,000 units at a sales price of P40 per unit. Incremental operating costs include P30 per unit in variable costs and total fixed costs of P40,000 per year. • The investment in the new machine will require an immediate increase in working capital of P35,000. This cash outflow will be recovered at the end of year 5 • Global uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes. The new machine has an estimated useful life of 5 years and zero salvage value Global is subject to a 40% corporate income tax rate Global uses the net present…

The Frank Ernst Co. wants to add an additional production line. To do this, the company must spend $100,000 to expand its current building and purchase $1.2 million in new equipment. The building expansion has a salvage value of $80,000 and the equipment has a salvage value of $390,000. This new line is expected to produce 200,000 units with a projected sales price of $4.65 per unit and a variable cost of $2.90 a unit. Gross profit from existing products is expected to decline by $29,000 a year as a result of this addition. Fixed costs are $42,000 annually. The net working capital requirement is $36,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation over the life of the product and requires a 15% rate of return. Taxes are incurred at a rate of 34%. The life of the project is five years. What is the total cash flow in year 5? $553,080 $582,080 $589,080 $618,740 None of the above.
