28. Calculate the relevant cash flows (for each year) for the following capital budgeting proposal. Enter the total net cash flows for each year in the answer sheet. (10 points)
• $90,000 initial cost for machinery;
• depreciated straight-line over 4 years to a book value of $10,000;
• 35% marginal tax rate;
• $55,000 additional annual revenues;
• $25,000 additional annual cash expense;
• annual expense for debt financing is $7,500.
• $3,500 previously spent for engineering study;
• The project requires inventory increase by $32,000 and accounts payable increase by $14,000 at the beginning of the project;
• The investment in working capital occurs one time at the beginning of the project and it requires working capital return to the original level when the project ends in 4 years;
• 11% cost of capital;
• life of the project is 4 years; and
• The new equipment will be sold at the end of 4 years; expected market value of the new equipment at the end of 4 years is $15,000;
29. You are analyzing a capital budgeting project and, as shown by ???, some numbers are unreadable. You can read the following information:
Cash Flows at the end of:
Year 0 = -$25,000
Year 1 = +$8,000
Year 2 = +$ 6,000
Year 3 = +$ 2,600
Year 4 = $ ???
Year 5 = +$ 9,500
The Cost of Capital is 13%, the NPV = -$5,650.01 and the IRR = ???%. Your superior, ignoring the important fact that we should reject the project, is demanding to know the Cash Flow in Year 4.
Calculate the cash flow in Year 4. (5 points)
31. For the following project, calculate the NPV break-even level of annual revenue, assuming that the operating cash flows will be stable for an 8 year horizon and that the discount rate is 12%. (10 points)
• The project requires an initial investment of $600,000.
• Expected annual sales are $770,000.
• Annual fixed costs (excluding depreciation and any other non cash expenses) will be $100,000.
• Straight-line depreciation of the initial investment over 8 years to a book value of 0.
• Variable costs (all of which are cash expenses) of 65% of revenues.
• Working capital will not be affected.
• Market values for salvage purposes in 8 years are estimated to be $40,000.
• 35% tax rate.
