Net Present Value and Net Cash Flow

1. Given the proposed financing plan, describe your approach (qualitatively) to value AirThread. Should Ms. Zhang use WACC, APV or some combination thereof? Explain. (2 points)

The fixed cost is assumed that Larry has discovered the other fixed cost incurred. The total investment is $800,000. The worst case scenario assumes that Larry got a total line of credit from the bank in the amount of $400,000 and invested $400,000 from other source. The Notes payable – short term and the long-term debt is (11.8 + 3.7) = 15.5 % from Table F in the handout. The Loan interest and payment per year is ($400,000 * 0.155)= $62,000. The Income data from Table F indicates that there is a 0.4% of all other expenses net out of the total sales which equals to $109,908 (5,700,666 gallons * $4.82 *0.4%) .

18. On July 1, 2014, Fleming Company sells machinery for $120,000. The machinery originally cost $300,000, had an estimated 5-year life and an expected salvage value of $50,000. The Accumulated Depreciation account had a balance of $175,000 on January 1, 2014, using the straight-line method. The gain or loss on disposal is

Estimated machinery life: 3 years (after which there will be zero value for the equipment and no further cost savings)

ML had developed a policy of selling manual machines and renting automatic machines. Manual machines did not cost much, did not require service, and could be modified to attach different fasteners inexpensively. Automatic machines were rented on an annual basis because they would have been more expensive to sell and it provided annual income to ML. However, about 700 of the rented machines were returned each year. During the time that machines were in inventory, ML would modify the machines to attach different fasteners. This was expensive with an average cost per modification of $2000. If all 700 machines were modified during a given year this would have cost $1.4 million per year. It was also industry practice to provide preventative maintenance and

The machine will have a depreciation of $140,000 for the first five years; this is determined by dividing the initial investment by five. The old machine will be sold in 2010 for $25,000 which is below the current book value of $36,000. This is why there is a capital gain of $3,850 that will add to the incremental savings plus the depreciation for that year. The new sheeter will be sold at the end of the last year for $120,000 which will be taxed at 35; this is why a cost of $42,000 appears for the last cash flow (Exhibit 1). The NPV is a positive $1,063,567 and the IRR is 36%, this shows that the project will add value to the company along with having a great return. The payback period for the project is 2.45…Using the growth rate of 3%, the sales are projected to be nearly doubled from 2009 with the new sheeter. However, Pitts believes that he would not be surprised to see them increase by 7% or

The present value of the net incremental cash flows, totaling $5,740K, is added to the present value of the Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) tax shield, provided by the Plant and Equipment of $599K, to arrive at the project’s NPV of $6,339K. (Please refer to Exhibit 4 and 5 for assumptions and detailed NPV calculations.) This high positive NPV means that the project will add a significant amount of value to FMI. In addition, using the incremental cash flows (excluding CCA) generated by the NPV calculation, we calculated the project’s IRR to be 28%. This means that the project will generate a higher rate of return than the company’s cost of capital of 10.05%. This is also a positive indication that the company should undertake the project.

a) When the machine was bought for Lift-Off productions the cost has been calculated; and

Capital budgeting is the most important management tool that enables managers of the organization to select the investment option that yields comprehensive cash flows and rate of return. For managers availability of capital whether in form of debt or equity is very limited and thus it become imperative for them to invest their limited and most important resource in perfect option that could prove to beneficial for the organization in the long run (Hickman et al, 2013). However, while using capital budgeting tool managers must understand its quantitative and qualitative considerations that are discussed below.
