Chapter 11, Problem 2SP
(Relevant cash flows) Captins’ Cereal is considering introducing a variation of its current breakfast cereal, Crunch Stuff. The new cereal will be similar to the old with the exception that it will contain sugarcoated marshmallows shaped in the form of stars and will be called Crunch Stuff n’ Stars. It is estimated that the sales for the new cereal will be $25 million; however, 20 percent of those sales will be former Crunch Stuff customers who have switched to Crunch Stuff n’ Stars but who would not have switched if the new product had not been introduced. What is the relevant sales level to consider when deciding whether to introduce Crunch Stuff n’ Stars?

The Drow ranger Company is considering a new product line to supplement its range line. It is anticipated that the new product line will involve cash investment of P700,000 at time 0 and P1,000,000 in year 1. After- tax cash inflows of P250,000 are expected in year 2, P300,000 in year 3, P350,000 in year 4 and P400,000 each year thereafter through year 10. Though the product line might be viable after year 10, the company prefers to be conservative and end all calculations at that time.

- Wansley Lumber is considering the purchase of a paper company, which would require an initial investment of $300 million. Wansley estimates that the paper company would provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of capital for the paper company is 13%. Should Wansley purchase the paper company? Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $30 million per year or $50 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2 in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Wansley can wait for 1 year and find out whether the cash flows will be $30 million per year or $50 million per year before deciding to purchase the company. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, if it waits to purchase, Wansley can no longer sell the company 2 years after purchase. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? If so, when? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%.arrow_forwardCrane, Inc.is considering investing in a new production line for eye drops. Other than investing in the equipment, the company needs to increase its cash and cash equivalents by $34,000, increase the level of inventory by $54,000 , increase accounts receivable by $ 49,000, and increase accounts payable by $29,000 at the beginning of the project. Crane will recover these changes in working capital at the end of the project 9 years laterAssume the appropriate discount rate is 13 percent. What are the present values of the relevant investment cash flows?

The old machine, which originally cost $40,000, has 6 years of expected life remaining and a current book value of $24,000 versus a current market value of $21,000. Target's corporate tax rate is 40 percent. If Target sells the old machine at market value, what is the initial after-tax cash outlay for the new printing machine?

The company is currently at full capacity and will have to invest a large sum in machinery and production space. However, given the nature of cereal production, the investment in machinery will be more costly for the children’s cereal (Poofy Puffs) than for the adult cereal (Filling Fiber). The expected cash flows for the two cereals are: Year Poofy Puffs Filling Fiber 0 −$24,890,000 −$13,500,000 1 12,950,000 7,230,000 2 10,923,000 8,100,000 3 8,231,000 8,629,000 4 7,242,000 5,238,900 Management requires a minimum return of 15% in order for the project to be acceptable.

If the property is purchased, the company's plan is to spend another $5 million today (t = 0) to build a hotel on the property. The after-tax cash flows from the hotel will depend critically on whether the state imposes a tourism tax in this year's legislative session. If the tax is imposed, the hotel is expected to produce after-tax cash inflows of $550,000 at the end of each of the next 15 years, versus $1,100,000 if the tax is not imposed. The project has a 13% cost of capital. Assume at the outset that the company does not have the option to delay the project. Use decision-tree analysis to answer the following questions. What is the project's expected NPV if the tax is imposed? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.234 million should be entered as 1.234, not 1,234,000. Round your answer to three decimal places.
