Cape Fear Marine Mini Case
Sarah Connor was recently hired by Cape Fear Marine Company to assist the company with its short-term financial planning and to evaluate the firm’s financial performance. Sarah graduated from college five years ago with a degree in finance and had been employed in the treasury department of a large firm in Raleigh, North Carolina since then.
Kyle Reese founded Cape Fear Marine Company 15 years ago. The company’s operations are located near Wilmington, North Carolina. The firm is structured as an LLC. Cape Fear Marine manufactures a diverse line of boats, ranging from low-end fishing boats to high-end luxury craft. The company and its products have received high reviews for safety and reliability, as well as awards for customer satisfaction.
The marine products/boating industry is fragmented, with a number of manufacturers. As with any industry, there are market leaders, but the diverse nature of the industry ensures that no manufacturer dominates the market. The competition in the market, as well as the product cost, ensures that attention to detail is a necessity.
To get Sarah started with her analysis, Kyle has provided the following financial data. Sarah has gathered the industry ratios for the boat manufacturing industry.

The Dauten Toy Corporation uses an injection molding machine that was purchased prior to the new tax legislation. This machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,100, and it can be sold for $2,500 at this time. Thus, the annual depreciation expense is $2,100/6 = $350 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $500 at the end of its useful life. Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $9,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $800 per year; even so, the new machine's much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by $1,000 per year. The new machine would require that inventories be increased by $2,500, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $500. Dauten's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. What is the NPV of the incremental cash flow stream? Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $2.8 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. The land was appraised last week for $5.9 million on an aftertax basis. In five years, the aftertax value of the land will be $6.3 million, but the company expects to keep the land for a future project. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant and equipment will cost $32.5 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities are current: |
| Debt: |
240,000 bonds with a coupon rate of 5.9 percent outstanding, 22 years to maturity, selling for 104 percent of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments. |
| Common stock: |
9,400,000 shares outstanding, selling for $72.80 per share; the beta is 1.25. |
| Preferred stock: |
460,000 shares of 3.7 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $82.75 per share. The par value is $100. |
| Market: |
5.9 percent expected market risk premium; 2.8 percent risk-free rate. |

DEI uses G.M. Wharton as its lead underwriter. Wharton charges DEI spreads of 6.5 percent on new common stock issues, 4 percent on new preferred stock issues, and 2 percent on new debt issues. Wharton has included all direct and indirect issuance costs (along with its profit) in setting these spreads. Wharton has recommended to DEI that it raise the funds needed to build the plant by issuing new shares of common stock. DEI’s tax rate is 21 percent. The project requires $1,450,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational. Assume DEI raises all equity for new projects externally and that the NWC does not require floatation costs.. |
| a. |
Calculate the project’s initial Time 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects. |
| b. | The new RDS project is somewhat riskier than a typical project for DEI, primarily because the plant is being located overseas. Management has told you to use an adjustment factor of +1.0 percent to account for this increased riskiness. Calculate the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating DEI’s project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
| c. | The manufacturing plant has an eight-year tax life, and DEI uses straight-line depreciation to a zero salvage value. At the end of the project (that is, the end of Year 5), the plant and equipment can be scrapped for $5.1 million. What is the aftertax salvage value of this plant and equipment? |
| d. | The company will incur $7,400,000 in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture 19,525 RDSs per year and sell them at $11,060 per machine; the variable production costs are $9,675 per RDS. What is the annual operating cash flow (OCF) from this project? |
| e. | DEI’s comptroller is primarily interested in the impact of DEI’s investments on the bottom line of reported accounting statements. What will you tell her is the accounting break-even quantity of RDSs sold for this project? |
| f. |
Finally, DEI’s president wants you to throw all your calculations, assumptions, and everything else into the report for the chief financial officer; all he wants to know is what the RDS project’s internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value (NPV) are. |
