Answer to Problem 34QP

The net present value is $861,836.07.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The R enterprise requires someone to supply the 140,000 cartons of screw machines for the year for the purpose of supporting it with the operations that are needed for the next five years. Person X has decided to make a bid on the contract. It will cost Person X $940,000 to install the necessary equipment for beginning the production. Person X depreciates on a straight-line to zero over the life of the project.

The cost of fixed production of Person X is $435,000 for a year, and the variable production cost must be $15.10 for a carton. The essential investment that is required by Person X in the net working capital is $90,000. The tax rate is assumed to be 35% and the rate of return on the investment is 12%. The price per carton is $23

Note: To calculate the bid price it is essential to set the net present value equal to zero and the essential price is found using the operating cash flow. Thus, the bid price is representing the project’s financial break-even level.

Computations for the above table:

Formula to calculate the sales:

Sales=Price per unit×$140,000

Computation of the sales:

Sales=Price per unit×$140,000=23×$140,000=$3,220,000

Formula to calculate the cash outflow:

Cash outflow=Capital spendingChanges in NWC

Computation of the cash outflow:

Cash outflow=Capital spendingChanges in NWC=$940,000$90,000=$1,030,000

Formula to calculate the net present value:

NPV=Cash olutflow+Cash inflow

Computation of the net present value:

NPV=Cash olutflow+Cash inflow={$1,030,000+Total cash flow(PVIFAr , t)+[(Change in NWC+Capital spending)(1+r)t]}=$1,030,000+$501,950(3.60478)+[($90,000+$55,250)(1.12)5]

=$1,030,000+$1,809,419.321+$82,418.7508=$1,030,000+$1,891,838.0718= $861,838.0718

Hence, the net present value is $861,836.07.

Explanation:

The net present value of the project is positive. If the real price is above the bid price then it shows the results in zero net present value, as for the cartons sold, if the numbers of cartons sold increase, then the net present value will increase, and if the costs increase, the net present value will decline.

Answer to Problem 34QP

The quantity of the cartons is 93,440.69.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The price per quantity is $23.

Computation of the operating cash flow using the formula of the net present value:

NPV=0={Cash outflow+OCF(PVIFA12%,5)+[(Change in NWC+Capital spending)(1+r)t]}={$1,030,000+OCF(PVIFA12%,5)+[($90,000+$55,250)(1.12)5]}=$1,030,000+$82,418.7508OCF(PVIFA12%,5)=$947,581.25

Hence, the operating cash flow is $262,867.98.

Formula to calculate the tax shield approach:

OCF  = {[(P – v)Q – FC](1 –Tax rate) +Tax rate×Depreciation}

Computation of the quantity using the formula of the operating cash flow:

OCF  =$262,867.98 {[(P – v)Q – FC](1 –Tax rate) +Tax rate×Depreciation}$262,867.98 = {[(23 – 15.10)Q– $435,000](1 – .35) + .35($940,0005)}$262,867.98={[7.9Q– $435,000]×0.65 + .35($940,0005)}=5.135Q – $282750+$65,800

18. In a situation such as Acron's, where a one-time cost is followed by a sequence of cash flows, the internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that makes the NPV equal to 0. The idea is that if the discount rate is greater than the IRR, the company will not pursue the project, but if the discount rate is less than the IRR, the project is financially attractive. a. Use Excel's Goal Seek tool to find the IRR for the Acron model. b. Excel also has an IRR function. Look it up in online help to see how it works, and then use it on Acron's model. Of course, you should get the same IRR as in part a. c. Verify that the NPV is negative when the discount rate is slightly greater than the IRR, and that it is positive when the discount rate is slightly less than
