Their products are well received in the marketplace competing with such brand names as Franco-American, Ragu and Heinz. Consider the following expansion opportunity for Aunt Sally’s Foods, Inc. Sally is considering expansion into a new line of all natural, cholesterol free, low sodium, low-calorie tomato sauces. Sally has paid $100,000 for a marketing study to assist in this and other potential valuations. The study indicates that the new product will have sales of $1,900,000 per year for each of the next 6 years. However, existing product line sales will be reduced by $200,000 per year. Manufacturing plant and equipment will cost $1,100,000 and will be depreciated on the straight-line method with a 10% market value (salvage value) at the end of 6 years. Annual fixed costs are projected at $160,000 per year and variable costs are projected at 55% of sales. Also, an initial working capital outlay of $175,000 will be required which will be recaptured at the end of the 6 years. Sally’s tax rate is 30% and the firm requires an 18% return. Based on the following criteria: 1) Net Present Value, and 2) Internal Rate of Return, should Sally undertake this project? (Please round to the nearest dollar on all calculations)
