Problem Set 5 Chapter 11 -- Capital Budgeting Assigned Problem 1 Winston Clinic is evaluating a project that costs $52,125 and has expected net cash flows of $12,000 per year for eight years. The first inflow occurs one year after the cost outflow, and the project has a cost of capital of 12 percent. a. What is the project's payback? b. What is the project's NPV? Its IRR? c. Is the project financially acceptable? Explain your answer. ANSWER a. Table of cash flows for the project: Annual Cumulative NPV Year Cash Flow Cash Flow Values 0 -$52,125 -$52,125 1 $12,000 -$40,125 $10,714 2 $12,000 -$28,125 $9,566 3 $12,000 -$16,125 $8,541 4 $12,000 -$4,125 $7,626 5 $12,000 $7,875 $6,809 6 $12,000 $19,875 $6,080 7 $12,000 $31,875 $5,428 8 $12,000 $43,875 $4,847 Payback 4.34 b. NPV $7,486.68 IRR 16% c. The project has a positive NPV and the IRR (16%) is greater than the cost of capital of (12%), therefore it is acceptable.

Problem Set 5 Chapter 11 -- Capital Budgeting Assigned Problem 2 Great Lakes Clinic has been asked to provide exclusive healthcare services for next year's World Exposition. Although flattered by the request, the clinic's managers want to conduct a financial analysis of the project. There will be an up-front cost of $160,000 to get the clinic in operation. Then, a net cash inflow of $1 million is expected from operations in each of the two years of the exposition. However, the clinic has to pay the organizers of the exposition a fee for the marketing value of the opportunity. This fee, which must be paid at the end of the second year, is $2 million. a. What are the cash flows associated with the project that are relevant for capital budgeting purpose? b. Find the project NPV if its cost of capital is 25 percent and if its cost of capital is 400%. Why would a financial calculator give an error message when attempting to calculate this project's IRR? c. If the project cost capital is 10 percent, what would be the project's NPV in each case? Shoud the project be undertaken? ANSWER a. Cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 -$160,000 1 $1,000,000 2 -$1,000,000 b. NPV @ 25% $0 NPV @ 400% $0 c. NPV @ 10% ($77,355) A B C D E F G H I 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45
Problem Set 5 Chapter 11 -- Capital Budgeting Assigned Problem 3 California Health Center, a for-profit hospital, is evaluating the purchase of new diagnostic equipment. The equipment, which costs $600,000, has an expected life of five years and an estimated pretax salvage value of $200,000 at that time. The equipment is expected to be used 15 times a day for 250 days a year for each year of the project's life. On average, each procedure is expected to generate $80 in collections, which is net of bad debt losses and contractual allowances, in its first year of use. Thus, net revenues for Year 1 are estimated at 15 x 250 x $80 = $300,000. Labor and maintenance costs are expected to be $100,000 during the first year of operation, while utilities will cost another $10,000 and cash overhead will increase by $5,000 in Year 1. The cost for expendable supplies is expected to average $5 per procedure during the first year. All costs and revenues, except depreciation, are expected to increase at a 5 percent inflation rate after the first year. The equipment falls into the MACRS five-year class for tax depreciation and hence is subject to the following depreciation allowances: Year Allowance 1 0.2 2 0.32 3 0.19 4 0.12 5 0.11 6 0.06 The hospital's tax rate is 40 percent, and its corporate cost of capital is 10 percent. a. Estimate the project's net cash flows over its five-year estimated life. b. What are the project's NPV and IRR? (Assume that the project has average risk.)
