You are evaluating a product for your company. You estimate the sales price of product to be $150 per unit and sales volume to be 10,500 units in year 1; 25,500 units in year 2; and 5,500 units in year 3. The project has a 3 year life. Variable costs amount to $75 per unit and fixed costs are $205,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $339,000 in assets which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 3 year project life. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $45,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 15% of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 21% and the required return on the project is 12%. What will the year 2 free cash flow for this project be?

We are evaluating a project that costs $1,100,000, has a ten-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 42,000 units per year. Price per unit is $50, variable cost per unit is $25, and fixed costs are $820,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a 10 percent return on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±10 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Best-case Worst-case NPV $ LA LA
A Company is considering the development of a plan. The company estimates that the plant and equipment would require an initial of $12 million and sales revenue of $3.0 million a year is expected over the project lifespan of 6 years. The plant and equipment will be fully depreciated using the straight-line method with zero salvage value. Yearly variable costs are $25,000 and fixed costs are $40,000, respectively. The project’s cost of capital is 12% and a corporate tax rate of 30%. Using NPV should this project be undertaken?
You are evaluating a new project that costs $15 million over its 5-year life. Depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project and the salvage value is zero. The project is expected to have the following base case estimates: Unit sales/year: 250,000; Price/unit: $40; VC/unit: $15; FC/year: $900,000. The required return is 14 % and the corporate tax rate is 30%. The firm has no debt. The base case NPV is $946,661.1003. Calculate the sensitivity of the NPV to changes to changes in variable costs/unit
Suppose you are considering an investment project that requires $800,000, has a six-year life, and has a salvage value of $100,000. Sales volume is projected to be 65,000 units per year. Price per unit is $63, variable cost per unit is $42, and fixed costs are $532,000 per year. The depreciation method is a five-year MACRS. The tax rate is 35% and you expect a 20% return on this investment.(a) Determine the break-even sales volume.(b) Calculate the cash flows of the base case over six years and its NPW.(c) lf the sales price per unit increases to $400, what is the required break-even volume?(d) Suppose the projections given for price, sales volume, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurale to wi thin ± 15%. What would be the NPW figures of the best-case and worst-case scenarios?
We are evaluating a project that costs $630,700, has a seven-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 90,000 units per year. Price per unit is $46, variable cost per unit is $33, and fixed costs are $720,000 per year. The tax rate is 25 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. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures.

Consider an order delivery business that will be a 5-year project. The required net working capital is $6.6 million and it will be returned at the end of the life of the project. Required equipment (net capital spending) will cost $15 and it will be depreciated straight-line to 0 over the 5-year life of the project. The business will have sales of $3 million in year 1, $6 million in year 2, and $10 million in years 3, 4, and 5. Costs are 30% of sales and the tax rate is 20%. (If there is a loss at the EBIT line, assign taxes of 0 for that year and do not carry tax losses forward.) The equipment has no salvage value. Create an income statement for years 1, 2, and 3, 4, and 5 (3, 4, and 5 will have the same income statement). Use the information from the income statement to calculate the operating cash flow using EBIT + depreciation – taxes for each year. Put all cash flows (net working capital, net capital spending, and operating cash flows) on a timeline. Using total cash flows from…
Consider a project with a 3-year life and no salvage value. The initial cost to set up the project is $100,000. This amount is to be linearly depreciated to zero over the life of the project. The price per unit is $90, variable costs are $72 per unit and fixed costs are $10,000 per year. The project has a required return of 12%. Ignore taxes. 1. How many units must be sold for the project to achieve accounting break-even? 2. How many units must be sold for the project to achieve cash break-even? 3.

Use the following base case information to evaluate the project: PT Kolam Makara has a project costs $900,000, has a five-year life, and has a salvage value of $130,000. Depreciation is straight-line to zero. The required return is 14% and tax rate is 34%. Sales are projected at 2350 units per year. Price per unit is $400. Variable cost per unit is $200 and fixed costs are $150,000 per year. It is known that the depreciation expense is $180,000 per year. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $50,000. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure at base case?
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $267,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $72,000 per year. The Techron II costs $465,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $49,000. If your tax rate is 23 percent and your discount rate is 13 percent, compute the EAC for both machines
