Ahorita has recently acquired Zelltech Company, which is primarily known for its software communications development but also manufactures a specialty transponder under the trade name “Z-Tech” that competes with one of Ahorita’s products. Ahorita will now discontinue Z-Tech and projects that its own product line will see a market share increase. Nonetheless, Ahorita’s management will maintain the rights to the Z-Tech trade name as a defensive intangible asset to prevent its use by competitors, despite the fact that its high-est and best use would be to sell the trade name.

Rachelle Brown, the president of the firm, is enthusiastic about an automation strategy and sees it as essential if the firm is to stay competitive. As a first step in the economic analysis of automated equipment, a cash-flow net present value calculation was done for one of the more desirable pieces of equipment. The firm conventionally uses 0.20 to evaluate investment opportunities (debt currently costs 0.131 before tax). The statutory corporate tax rate is 0.46. Exhibit 1 shows the capital budgeting analysis for the $10,000,000 investment. The entire amount of investment is eligible for a 0.10 investment tax credit. The tax basis of the investment is $9,500,000 ($10,000,000 minus half of the $1,000,000 investment tax credit). The estimated life of the equipment is five years with zero salvage value at the end of that period of time.

Investors view the company as being on the cutting edge with its technology and have continued to invest in the company. Noon Wakeup has not yet borrowed money, but is considering doing so in the future. 2. Steel Grid Company is a textile company located in Waynesboro, NC. The company is experiencing its 20th year of profitability. Management is concerned by the recent economic downturn in the textile business, which has hurt sales in the 3 most recent fiscal years. Next year the company expects to just break even. For this reason, the company is not expanding and is only replacing fully depreciated equipment in its machine intensive manufacturing business. Steel Grid- pridcs itself in paying dividends and having no debt on its balance sheet. 3. Device Driver Company is a technology manufacturing company located in Bloomington, IN. The company has just introduced its 10th new product and is the leader in market share for its industry. The company continues to invest in new equipment and property and to expand by purchasing its competitors. The company has yet to pay dividends, but it is considering doing so in the future. The companys largest current asset is cash, as a result of its high profit margin; because of this, the company has no need for external sources of cash. Required: For each company, prepare a report examining whether you think the companys current cash flows from each activity (operating, investing, and financing) will be positive (the activity provides cash) or negative (the activity uses cash).
