The management of Osborn Corporation is investigating an investment in equipment that would have a useful life of 4 years. The company uses a discount rate of 12% in its capital budgeting. The net present value of the investment, excluding the annual cash inflow, is $-403,014.
To the nearest whole dollar how large would the annual cash inflow have to be to make the investment in the equipment financially attractive? (Ignore income taxes.)
Using Capital BudgetingTen years ago Kramer Company, of which you are controller, bought machinery at a cost of $250,000. The purchase was made at the insistence of the production manager. The machinery is now worthless, and the production manager believes that it should be replaced. He gives you the following analysis, which he says verifies the correctness of the decision to buy the machinery ten years ago. He bases his statement on the 21% return he calculated, which is higher than the 16% cutoff rate of return.Required: Do you agree that the investment was wise? Why or why not?
Capital Budgeting Case
You are a senior financial analyst at PALTEL and you are requested to analyse the following project, where all of the dollar figures are in thousands of dollars.
In year 0, the project requires an $11,350 investment in plant and equipment which is depreciated using the straight-line method over seven years and has a salvage value of $1,400 in year 7.
The project is forecast to generate sales of 2,000 units in year 1, rising to 7,400 units in year 5, declining to 1,800 units in year 7.
The inflation rate is forecast to be 2.0% in year 1, rising to 4.0% in year 5, and then levelling off.
The real cost of capital is forecasted to be 11.0% in year 1, rising to 12.2% in year 7. The tax rate is constant at 35%.
Sales revenue per unit is forecasted to be $9.70 in year 1 and then grow with inflation. The variable unit cost for Direct Labour, Materials, Selling Expenses, and overhead are forecasted to be $3.50, $2.00, $1.20, and $0.70, respectively, in year 1 and then…
