Scribners Corporation produces fine papers in three production departments-Pulping, Drying, and Finishing. In the Pulping
Department, raw materials such as wood fiber and rag cotton are mechanically and chemically treated to separate their fibers. The
result is a thick slurry of fibers. In the Drying Department, the wet fibers transferred from the Pulping Department are laid down on
porous webs, pressed to remove excess liquid, and dried in ovens. In the Finishing Department, the dried paper is coated, cut, and
spooled onto reels. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data for March for the Drying
Department…
With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to
encompass a "surf lifestyle for the home." With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent
people's homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 7,600 in the first year, with growth of 5 percent each year for the next
five years. Production of these lamps will require $41,000 in net working capital to start. The net working capital will be recovered at
the end of the project. Total fixed costs are $101,000 per year, variable production costs are $25 per unit, and the units are priced at
$52 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $181,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line
method over a five-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The effective tax rate is 21 percent and the required rate of
return is 23 percent. What is the NPV of this project?
Note:…
Forest Enterprises, Incorporated, has been considering the purchase of a new manufacturing facility for $290,000. The facility is to be
fully depreciated on a straight-line basis over seven years. It is expected to have no resale value after the seven years. Operating
revenues from the facility are expected to be $125,000, in nominal terms, at the end of the first year. The revenues are expected to
increase at the inflation rate of 2 percent. Production costs at the end of the first year will be $50,000, in nominal terms, and they are
expected to increase at 3 percent per year. The real discount rate is 5 percent. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. Calculate the NPV
of the project.
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
