Chapter 12, Problem 12.1WUE
Birkenstock is considering an investment in a nylon-knitting machine. The machine requires an initial investment of $27,000, has a 5-year life, and has no residual value at the end of the 5 years. The company's cost of capital is 10.87%. Known with less certainty are the actual after-tax
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The B is considered as investment in the NK Machine, the machine requires the initial investment of the $27,000 of the five years life period and have the residual value of the five years and the capital cost is 10.87%, and the company’s estimated expected cash inflows haves scenarios such as pessimistic, most likely and optimistic. These values are present in the table below. Need to determine the net present value of the current situation.
| Expected cash inflows | |||
| Year | Pessimistic ($) | Most likely ($) | Optimistic ($) |
| 1 | 6,750 | 9,250 | 11,750 |
| 2 | 7,250 | 10,250 | 13,250 |
| 3 | 8,750 | 11,750 | 15,750 |
| 4 | 7,750 | 10,750 | 12,750 |
| 5 | 5,750 | 7,750 | 8,750 |
Introduction:
The net present value is the variation between present cash inflows values and outflow values for a time period. The net present is used the capital budgeting projects to analyse the profitability of the project
Explanation of Solution
Through the sensitivity analysis the twelve percent cost of capital to discount all of the cash flows for each scenarios yield to the following net present value ranges to $19,109.78.
The pessimistic value is -$3,283.48
The most likely value is -$6,516.99
The optimistic value is $15,826.30

The project has a lifespan of two (2) years, after which after two years the project has no salvage value.

Starting in year 3, the project will generate cash inflows of $528,000 a year for three years. This project has higher risk compared to other projects the firm has, so it is assigned with a discount rate of 18%.

If the new product is well received, then the project would produce after-tax cash flows of $3.4 million at the end of each of the next 3 years (t = 1, 2, 3), but if the market did not like the product, then the cash flows would be only $1.85 million per year. There is a 65% probability that the market will be good. Foltz Corp. could delay the project for a year while it conducted a test to determine if demand would be strong or weak. The project's cost and expected annual cash flows are the same whether the project is delayed or not; however, the timing of the cash flows would change.

Installation of the line will cost an estimated $15.7 million. This amount must be paid immediately even though construction will take three years to complete (years 0, 1, and 2). Year 3 will be spent testing the production line and, hence, it will not yield any positive cash flows. If the operation is very successful, the company can expect after-tax cash savings of $10.7 million per year in each of years 4 through 7. After reviewing the use of these systems with the management of other companies, Green's controller has concluded that the operation will most probably result in annual savings of $7.9 million per year for each of years 4 through 7. However, it is entirely possible that the savings could be as low as $3.7 million per year for each of years 4 through 7. The company uses a 12 percent discount rate. Use Exhibit A.8.
