You are considering an investment in two normal cash flow and mutually exclusive projects. Project Apple has an internal rate of return of 13.6%, while Project Brewster has an internal rate of return of 15.75%. At a discount rate of 9.8% each project has the same net present value. If the appropriate weighted average cost of capital is 9.25%, which project(s), if any, should be adopted? Explain your decision.
You are considering a new product line for your business. The new product line will require investment of $3,000,000 in new equipment. The equipment will be trucked to your facility at a cost of $25,000 and will require another $250,000 to modify that equipment for use in your facility. The new product line will require an increase in inventory of $200,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $100,000, but you believe you will be able to get suppliers to offer good credit terms which should increase accounts payable by $250,000, and you will obtain a short term bank loan, increasing notes payable by $25,000. The equipment falls into the 3-year MACRS class (rates of 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% in years 1-4, respectively). You expect to operate the new product line for only three years and then shut down operations. The salvage value of the equipment at time three is expected to be $385,000.
The new product line is expected to lead to sales of $1.4 million the first year with inflation of 3% per year for the following two years of operation and to incur annual operational costs of $500,000 in year 1 with the same inflation rate for subsequent years. Your business has a 35% tax rate and your WACC is 10%. Determine the time two cash flow.
