Pivot, Inc. is currently valuing a new project that has the average risk of its investment projects. The project requires upfront R&D and marketing expenses of $10 million and a $30 million investment in equipment. 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%. Pivot currently has 20 million outstanding shares with its stock price of $30 per share, $320 million in debt, $20 million in excess cash, the cost of debt of 5%, and the cost of equity of 10%, and the corporate tax rate…

Consider a project to supply Detroit with 27,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $6,000,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 6 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,450,000 and that variable costs should be $275 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 6-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $825,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $392 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $580,000. You require a return of 11 percent and face a tax rate of 22 percent on this project. a-1. What is the estimated OCF for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. and round your answer to the nearest whole number,…

Caspian Sea Drinks is considering the production of a diet drink. The expansion of the plant and the purchase of the equipment necessary to produce the diet drink will cost $27.00 million. The plant and equipment will be depreciated over 10 years to a book value of $2.00 million, and sold for that amount in year 10. Net working capital will increase by $1.43 million at the beginning of the project and will be recovered at the end. The new diet drink will produce revenues of $9.30 million per year and cost $2.46 million per year over the 10-year life of the project. Marketing estimates 13.00% of the buyers of the diet drink will be people who will switch from the regular drink. The marginal tax rate is 33.00%. The WACC is 12.00%. Find the IRR (internal rate of return).

A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $597,100 and has $352,000 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $484,900. The old machine could be sold for $64,000. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $155,100 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $99,700 per year for eight years. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine. If an amount is zero, enter "0".
