With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a “surf lifestyle for the home.” With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent people’s homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 10,200 in the first year, with growth of 7 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require $49,000 in net working capital to start. Total fixed costs are $131,000 per year, variable production costs are $18 per unit, and the units are priced at $60 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $585,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a 5-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The tax rate is 22 percent and the required rate of return is 17 percent. What is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places,…

With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a "surf lifestyle for the home." With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent people's homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 7,000 in the first year, with growth of 8 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require $35,000 in net working capital to start. Total fixed costs are $95,000 per year, variable production costs are $20 per unit, and the units are priced at $48 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $175,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a five-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value.
The effective tax rate is 34 percent, and the required rate of return is 25 percent. Critically analyse and compute the NPV of this project.

(Refer to the TQM Initiative worksheet in the CompXM Decisions menu.) Looking at the Round 0 Inquirer for Andrews, last year's sales were $163,608,638. Assuming similar sales next year, the 3.0% increase in demand will provide $4,908,259 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 34.2%, after direct costs this revenue will add $1,678,625 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest month? A. 10 months B. TQM investment will not have a significant financial impact C. 14 months D. 5 monthsarrow_forwardWally loves your analysis. He has now asked you to evaluate potential new project investments. Both projects aim to make widgets. Widgets sell for $10 each. Project A will produce 4,500 units in the first year, 6,500 units in the second and third years and a whopping 44,000 units in the fourth year. Project A requires an investment of 7 machines each costing $50,000. Project B will produce 2,400 units in the first year, 2,200 units in the second year, 1,950 units in the third year and 1,460 units in the fourth year. Project B requires an initial investment of 1 machine worth $50,000. Wally has said that to make the analysis easier – you need not calculate depreciation on the machine, the tax shelter benefit or the residual value of the machine at the end of production. Wally just said I want you understand the cash flows from the information provided above.

- Finance John and John Plc. is a midsized electronics manufacturing company in the West of Scotland. You have recently joined as a finance manager at John and John. Last week, the marketing manager brought a new project to your attention. This project is about manufacturing robot vacuum cleaners ETX600 with an expected product life cycle of 4 years. In 2019, John and John Plc plans to launch these new vacuum cleaners if the project is financially feasible. Research and development costs incurred in the past three years amount to £150,000. Advertising is expected to cost £25,000 in year 1. Advertising costs will reduce by 10% every year thereafter. The company expects that sales in the first year will be £800,000, second and third year sales will be £650,000 and sales in the fourth year will be £600,000. Variable costs will be 50% of sales each year and the fixed production cost is expected to be £100,000 per year.

- A company that manufactures high-strength epoxys is considering investing $100,000 in two new adhesives identified as X and Z. The investment in X is $20,000 and is expected to yield a rate of return of 40% per year. Your supervisor asked you to determine what rate of return would be required on the remaining $80,000 in order for the total return to be at least 25%. You responded that the return would have to be at least: (a) 10.4% (b) 16.8% (c) 21.3% (d) 24.1%arrow_forwardCost-plus target return on investment pricing.

Penske has come up with a new gadget prototype and is ready to go ahead with pilot production and test marketing. The pilot production and test marketing phase will last for one year and cost $560,000. The management team believes that there is a 40% chance that the test marketing will be successful (which also means 60% chance of test marketing failure) and that there will be sufficient demand for the new gadget. If the test-marketing phase is successful, then Penske will invest $3.1 million in year one to build a plant that will generate expected annual after-tax cash flows of $600,000 in perpetuity beginning in year two. If the test marketing is not successful, Penske can still go ahead and build the new plant, but the expected annual after-tax cash flows would be only $220,000 in perpetuity beginning in year two. Penske's cost of capital is 20.00%. Assume that Penske has the ability to ignore the pilot production and test marketing and to go ahead and build its manufacturing…arrow_forward
