  1. Sway's Back Store is considering a 7-year project which will require the purchase of $2 million in new equipment. The equipment will be depreciated using MACRS method. Sway's Back Store will sell the equipment at the end of the project for a salvage value of $300,000. Annual sales from this project are estimated at $1,050,000 in year 1, and it is expected to grow by 3% each year. The variable cost is 40% of the annual sales and there is an annual fixed cost of $100,000. The store should build an inventory with a value of 10% of next year’s sales. All of the new net working capital will be recouped at the end of the project. The firm desires a minimal 12% rate of return on this project. The tax rate is 40%.  
    1. Construct a capital budgeting table and calculate the Free Cash Flow of each year. Hint: you need to find out capital expenditure (1 points) , Salvage Cash Flow (3 points), Change in Net working Capital (3 points), Operating Cash Flows (8 points), and then Free Cash Flow (1 point)
    2. Calculate the project NPV (3 points), IRR (2 points), Discounted Payback Period (4 points), Modified IRR (3 points)
    3. Conduct a sensitivity analysis of NPV to the % change of 1st year sales. Hint: You will simulate at least 3 values for 1styear sales and record the corresponding NPV for each of the simulated sales value (6 points). Analysis the sensitivity and interpret the result (4 points)
    4. Conduct a Scenario analysis of project NPV based on different level of first year sales.  
Worst Base Best
Probability 20% 60% 20%
1st year sale $850,000 $1,050,000 $1,250,000

Please calculate the NPVs of the worst and best cases (4 points) and then the mean and standard deviation of the 3 NPVs (

LO, Inc., is considering an investment of $444,000 in an asset with an economic life of five years.

McGilla Golf is evaluating a new line of golf clubs. The clubs will sell for $1,010 per set and have a variable cost of $455 per set. The company has spent $160,000 for a marketing study that determined the company will sell 51,000 sets per year for seven years. The marketing study also determined that the company will lose sales of 9,600 sets of its high-priced clubs. The high-priced clubs sell at $1,510 and have variable costs of $640. The company also will increase sales of its cheap clubs by 12,200 sets. The cheap clubs sell for $455 and have variable costs of $185 per set. The fixed costs each year will be $9,700,000. The company has also spent $1,200,000 on research and development for the new clubs. The plant and equipment required will cost $31,500,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero salvage value. The new clubs also will require an increase in net working capital of $2,560,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 23 percent and the cost of capital is 12 percent.

    

Suppose you feel that the values are accurate to within only ±10 percent. What are the best-case and worst-case NPVs? (Hint: The price and variable costs for the two existing sets of clubs are known with certainty; only the sales gained or lost are uncertain.) (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
