Banyan Industries has two divisions, a tax rate of 30%, and a minimum
Division A has a weighted average cost of Capital of 9.5% and is looking at a new project that will generate a profit of $1,200,000 from a machine that costs $4,000,000. Division B has a weighted average cost of capital of 9.5% and is looking at a new project that will generate a profit of $1,350,000 from a machine that costs $5,000.000.
A. Calculate the EVA for each of Banyan’s divisions.
B. Calculate the RI for each of Banyan’s division.
C. If Banyan uses EVA to evaluate the projects, which division has the better project and by how much?
D. If Banyan uses RI, which division has the better project and by how much?

- Your division is considering two investment projects, each of which requires an up-front expenditure of 25 million. You estimate that the cost of capital is 10% and that the investments will produce the following after-tax cash flows (in millions of dollars): a. What is the regular payback period for each of the projects? b. What is the discounted payback period for each of the projects? c. If the two projects are independent and the cost of capital is 10%, which project or projects should the firm undertake? d. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 5%, which project should the firm undertake? e. If the two projects are mutually exclusive and the cost of capital is 15%, which project should the firm undertake? f. What is the crossover rate? g. If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the modified IRR (MIRR) of each project?arrow_forwardYou are evaluating a new product.

- The Cement Company has revenues of $100,000 in year 1 and it is expected to grow by 15% in year 2 and 25% in year 3. Operating expenses inclusive of depreciation are $75,000 in year 1 and are expected to increase by 10% per year, the depreciation is expected to be calculated on a straight-line method on a piece of equipment that costs $90,000, and the company marginal tax rate is 40 percent. In addition, the Cement Company expects that it will have to add about $8,000 per year to its net working capital in years 1 to 3.

The required investment on January 1 of this year is $29,000. The firm will depreciate the investment at a CCA rate of 20 percent. The firm is in the 40 percent tax bracket. The price of the product on January 1 year 1 is $104 per unit. That price will stay constant in real terms. Labour costs is $14.00 per hour on January 1 year 1. Labour costs will increase by 1 percent per year in real terms after year 1. Energy costs will be $7.20 per physical unit on January 1 year 1; energy cost will increase at 2.5 percent per year in real terms after year 1. The inflation rate is 4.1 percent.

- You are evaluating a new product. You are projecting sales of $500,000 and cost of goods sold of $300,000 from the new product in year 3. You will be depreciating a $100,000 machine over 5 years using straight-line depreciation to a zero book value. Your tax rate is 35%. Finally, you expect the net working capital will increase by $10,000 in year 3. What is the free cash flow of the project for year 3? Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardA rough rule of thumb for the chemical industry is that 1$ of annual sales requires 1% of fixed capital investment. In a chemical processing plant where this rule applies, the total capital investment is $5,000,000 and the working capital is 15% of the total capital investment. The annual total product cost amounts to $3,000,000. If the income tax rates on gross earnings total 40%, determine the following:(i) Percent of total capital investment returned annually as gross earnings (ii)Percent of total capital investment returned annually as netarrow_forwardA proposed new investment has projected sales of $710,000. Variable costs are 38 percent of sales, and fixed costs are $213,000; depreciation is $98,000. Assume a tax rate of 25 percent. What is the projected net income?
