[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,955,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The company’s discount rate is 18%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows: Sales $ 2,865,000 Variable expenses 1,015,000 Contribution margin 1,850,000 Fixed expenses: Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $ 750,000 Depreciation 591,000 Total fixed expenses 1,341,000 Net operating income $ 509,000 Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using table. rev: 05_11_2019_QC_CS-168512 7. What is the project’s payback period?
National Integrated Systems (NIS), a global provider of heating and air conditioning is planning a project whose data is provided below. The project’s equipment has a 3 year tax life after which its salvage value will be zero. The machinery will be depreciated on a straight line basis over three years. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project’s life. What is the project’s cash flow in Year 1? Equipment Cost = $130,000Depreciation rate = 33.33%Annual Sales Revenue= $120,000Operating Costs (ex Depreciation) = $50,000 Tax Rate = 35%
We are evaluating a project that costs $844,200, has a nine-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 80,000 units per year. Price per unit is $54, variable cost per unit is $38, and fixed costs are $760,000 per year. The tax rate is 23 percent, and we require a return of 10 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±15 percent. Saved Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Best-case Worst-case NPV
You are considering the following project. What is the NPV of the project?
