In 2004, Ferryman Company, a titanium producer in Pennsylvania, expanded its operations with the purchase of a $10 million rolling mill. Assume the new mill was fired up at the start of 2005 and runs at its peak capacity of 4 million pounds of output per year for 10 years. Assume that each pound of output generates $9.00 in revenues while costing $4.00 to produce. Assume that O&M costs are $10 million in 2005 and grow by $1 million per year after that. At the end of 10 years the mill will be sold for scrap for $500,000. Calculate the annual depreciation on the rolling mill using straight-line depreciation. What is the book value at the end of 2007?

The equipment will be obsolete in 3 years and will be depreciated using the straight-line method over that period. For each year over the next 3 years, the project offers annual sales of $100 million, has annual manufacturing costs of $30 million, and annual operating expenses of $10 million. Further, the project requires no net working capital in year 0, and $2.0 million in net working capital in each year from year 1 to year 2 and no net working capital in year 3. Beyond year 3, the project's free cash flows are expected to growth at an annual rate of 1%.

1. Howell Petroleum is considering a new project that complements its existing business. The machine required for the project costs $3.82 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $2.52 million per year for the next four years, after which the firm expects to sell it for $500,000. The machine is a five-year class asset and will be depreciated down to zero over five years under the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. Howell also needs to add net working capital of $200,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. The required rate of return (or discount rate) for the project is 12.5 percent. Compute the NPV, IRR, and payback period of the project. The firm’s acceptable payback period is 3 years. Is this project acceptable to the firm?
The Plastics Division of Minock Manufacturing currently earns $2.53 million and has divisional assets of $22 million. The division manager is considering the acquisition of a new asset that will add to profit. The investment has a cost of $5,514,000 and will have a yearly cash flow of $1,470,500. The asset will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a five-year life and is expected to have no salvage value. Divisional performance is measured using ROI with beginning-of-year net book values in the denominator. The company’s cost of capital is 7 percent. Ignore taxes. Required: What is the divisional ROI before acquisition of the new asset? What is the divisional ROI in the first year after acquisition of the new asset? Note: For all requirements, enter your answers as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 32.1).

Thanks to acquisition of a key patent, your company now has exclusive production rights for barkelgassers (BGs) in North America. Production facilities for 210,000 BGs per year will require a $25.2 million immediate capital expenditure. Production costs are estimated at $67 per BG. The BG marketing manager is confident that all 210,000 units can be sold for $102 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 10%. 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…
Everest Dew Corporation is planning to construct a new manufacturing plant on which has 60 production lines to run at any point of time to make output. The usage of the line is expected to be 92% all time throughout the years. The initial investment cost for all the lines is RM950,000. It is expected to generate revenue RM8,200 per line in year 1 and 10% increase for every year from year 2 to 6. The operating cost per line is RM1,200 and expected to increase by 10% every year from year 2 to 6. At year 6 it can cease the operation by selling the entire business for RM420,000. The cost of capital is expected to be about 12%. Advice whether the project is acceptable or rejected by using the below methods. A. Accounting Rate of Return (AROR) B. Payback Period Technique (PBP) C. Discounted Payback Period (DPP) D. Net Present Value Technique (NPV) E. Profitability Index (PI) F. What is the importance of the Technique used for analysis on Capital budgeting cost for a project?
