Good day, may I have some assistance with the attached pic
![Ocean Tide Industries is planning to introduce a new product with a projected life of eight
years. The project is in the government’s preferred industry list and qualifies for a one-time
subsidy of $2,000,000 at the start of the project. Initial equipment (IE) will cost $14,000,000
and an additional equipment (AE) costing $1,000,000 will be needed at the end of year 2. At
the end of 8 years, the original equipment, IE, will have no resale value but the supplementary
equipment, AE, can be sold for its book value of $100,000. A working capital of $1,500,000
will be needed.
The sales volume over the eight-year period have been forecast as follows:
Year 1
80,000 units
Year 2
120,000 units
Years 3-5
300,000 units
Years 6-8
200,000 units
A sale price of $100 per unit is expected and the variable expenses will amount to 40% of sales
revenue. Fixed cash operating expenses will amount to $1,600,000 per year.
Additionally, an extensive advertising campaign will be launched, which will need annual
expenses as follows:
Year 1
$3,000,000
Year 2
$1,500,000
Years 3-5
$1,000,000
Years 6-8
$400,000
The company falls in the 50% tax category and believes 12% to be an appropriate estimate for
its after-tax cost of capital for a project of this nature. All equipment is depreciated on a straight-
line basis. In the event of a negative taxable income, the tax is computed as usual and is reported
as a negative number, indicating a reduction in loss after tax.
You are required to:
4. Compute the OCF for years 1 through 8 -
5. Compute the Terminal cash flow -
6. Compute the FCF for years 1 through 8](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb5e837f3-f2c5-4446-b6a7-105da35979cf%2F6779e1c9-b067-41d1-a6a1-22312311317d%2Frefpn1_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
