You are evaluating a project for The Farstroke golf club, guaranteed to correct that nasty slice. You estimate the sales price of The Farstroke to be $450 per unit and sales volume to be 1,200 units in year 1; 1,325 units in year 2; and 1,000 units in year 3. The project has a 3-year life. Variable costs amount to $250 per unit and fixed costs are $100,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $150,000 in assets, which can be depreciated using bonus depreciation. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $30,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 20 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return on the project is 10 percent.What change in NWC occurs at the end of year 1? (Enter a decrease as a negative amount using a minus sign.)

Operating cash flow

You are evaluating a product for your company. You estimate the sales price of product to be $150 per unit and sales volume to be 10,500 units in year 1; 25,500 units in year 2; and 5,500 units in year 3. The project has a 3 year life. Variable costs amount to $75 per unit and fixed costs are $205,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $339,000 in assets which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 3 year project life. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $45,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 15% of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 21% and the required return on the project is 12%. What will the year 2 free cash flow for this project be?

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $270,000, has a three - year life, and has pretax operating costs of $73, 000 per year. The Techron II costs $470,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $46, 000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight - line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $50,000. If your tax rate is 25 percent and your discount rate is 9 percent, compute the EAC for both machines.

Consider a project to supply Detroit with 27,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $6,000,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 6 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,450,000 and that variable costs should be $275 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 6-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $825,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $392 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $580,000. You require a return of 11 percent and face a tax rate of 22 percent on this project. a-1.
