Wells Printing is considering the purchase of a new printing press. The total installed cost of the press is $2.11 million. This outlay would be partially offset by the sale of an existing press. The old press has zero book value, cost $1.02 million 10 years ago, and can be sold currently for $1.28 million before taxes. As a result of acquisition of the new press, sales in each of the next 5 years are expected to be $1.57 million higher than with the existing press, but product costs (excluding depreciation) will represent 46% of sales. The new press will not affect the firm's net working capital requirements. The new press will be depreciated under MACR

Your father is 50 years old and will retire in 10 years. He expects to live for 25 years after he retires, until he is 85. He wants a fixed retirement income that has the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $40,000 has today. (The real value of his retirement income will decline annually after he retires.) His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, at which time he will receive 24 additional annual payments. Annual inflation is expected to be 6%. He currently has $95,000 saved, and he expects to earn 8% annually on his savings. How much must he save during each of the next 10 years (end-of-year deposits) to meet his retirement goal?

Celtic Inc is considering expanding their existing vegetable processing operations with a new plant in Ireland. The plant is expected to produce 8,472,000 pounds of processed vegetables each year for the next 15 years (1,000 pounds per hour, 24 hours per day, 353 days per year). The land for the plant will cost approximately $500,000. Construction of the physical plant building will cost approximately $18,500,000, and the required investment in equipment will be an additional $22,500,000. The initial investment in net working capital required to have the plant operating at full capacity will include $2,500,000 in cash, $1,800,000 in receivables, and $650,000 in inventory, which will be partially funded by $250,000 of supplier financing.
The vegetables processed in Ireland will sell in year = 1 for $2.25 per pound. This selling price per pound is expected to increase by 0.50% per year throughout the life of the project. Operating expense has two components: 1) a fixed component, and 2) a variable component. The fixed overhead expenses will equal $4,254,000 the first year. These fixed operating expenses will increase each year by 1.00% throughout the life of the project. The variable operating expenses are equal to $0.75 per pound produced. These variable operating expenses are expected to increase by 0.50% per pound per year (for example, year 1 variable operating expenses are $0.75 per pound, and year 2 variable operating expenses are expected to be $0.75 × 1.005 = $0.75375 per pound). The plant building will be depreciated straight-line over 15 years to a value of zero. The equipment within the plant will be depreciated MACRS according to the 7-year schedule (percentages provided within the spreadsheet template). For analysis purposes, the firm uses 28.5% for their marginal tax rate for operating income. They assume a tax rate of 15.0% for capital gains. They use a discount rate of 12.0% for capital budgeting purposes.
Assume that the Ireland plant can be sold at the end of the life of the project. Assume that the land portion of this sale will reflect an annual growth rate in the land value of 1.5%. Assume that the building portion of this sale will reflect an annual growth rate in the building value of -10.0% (negative ten percent per year). Assume that the equipment portion of this sale will be $50,000. Assume that the entire initial investment in net working capital is recaptured at the end of the project.
