You are evaluating a product for your company. You estimate the sales price of the product to be $200 per unit and sales volume to be 2,000 units in year 1; 5,000 units in year 2; and 1,000 units in year 3. The project has a three-year life. Variable costs amount to $75 per unit and fixed costs are $200,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $360,000 in assets that will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the three-year project life. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $40,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 20 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return on the project is 13 percent. What will the year 2 free cash flow for this project be? Multiple Choice $170,412 $192,500 $201,300 $520,950

Danford Company, a manufacturer of farm equipment, currently produces 20,000 units of gas filters per year for use in its lawn-mower production. The costs, based on the previous year's production, are reported below. It is anticipated that gas-filter production will last five years. If the company continues to produce the product in-house, annual direct material costs will increase $3000/year (For example, annual material costs during the first production year will be $63,000.) Direct labor will also increase by $5000/year. However, variable overhead costs will increase at the rate of $2000/year and the fixed overhead will remain at its current level over the next five years. John Holland Company has offered to sell Danford 20,000 units of gas filters for $25 per unit. If Danford accepts the offer, some of the manufacturing facilities currently used to manufacture the filter could be rented to a third party for $35,000 per year. The firm's interest rate is known to be 15%. What is the…
Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AA), projects unit sales for a new 7-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 2 3 4 5 74,400 79,800 85,400 82,700 69,500 Production of the implants will require $1,480,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,800,000 per year, variable production costs are $143 per unit, and the units are priced at $325 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $18,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as 7-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 23 percent and the required return is 17 percent. (MACRS schedule) a. NPV b. IRR a.

Consider a project to supply Detroit with 40,000 tons of machine screws annually forautomobile production. You will need an initial $5,600,000 investment in threadingequipment to get the project started; the project will last for 6 years. The accountingdepartment estimates that annual fixed costs will be $600,000 and that variable costsshould be $250 per ton. Further, the accounting department will depreciate the initialfixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 6-year project life and estimate asalvage value of $450,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimatesthat the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $340 per ton. The engineeringdepartment estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $560,000.You require a return of 13 percent and face a marginal tax rate of 24 percent on thisproject.Suppose you’re confident about your own projections, but you’re a little unsure aboutDetroit’s actual machine screw…

A project requires an initial investment in equipment of $90,000 and also requires an initial investment in net working capital of $20,000 (at t = 0), net working capital is recovered at the end of the project. The research and development (R&D) costs so far have totaled about $100,000. You expect the project to produce sales revenue of $120,000 per year for three years. You estimate manufacturing costs at 60% of revenues. (Assume all revenues and costs occur at year-end, i.e., t = 1, t = 2, and t = 3.) The equipment depreciates using straight-line depreciation to zero over three years. At the end of the project, the firm can sell the equipment for $10,000. The corporate tax rate is 30% and the cost of capital is 16.5%. Calculate the NPV of the project.
