New-Project Analysis

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $870,000, and it would cost another $25,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $699,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $16,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $376,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 35%.

The technique for calculating a bid price can be extended to many other types of problems. Answer the following questions using the same technique as setting a bid price; that is, set the project NPV to zero and solve for the variable in question. Guthrie Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 150,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. It will cost $1,900,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. You estimate that in five years this equipment can be salvaged for $160,000. Your fixed production costs will be $275,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $10.40 per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $140,000. The tax rate is 25 percent and you require a return of 12 percent on your investment. Assume that the price per carton is $17.00. a. Calculate the project NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the minimum number of cartons per year that can be supplied and still break even? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) c. What is the highest fixed costs that could be incurred and still break even? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

  3. Select the correct option based on Barry's strengths and weaknesses as revealed by your analysis.
    1. The firm's days sales outstanding ratio is more than twice as long as the industry average, indicating that the firm should loosen credit or apply a less stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should be increased, assets increased, or both. While the company's profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are low compared to the industry - net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in an average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
    2. The firm's days sales outstanding ratio is less than the industry average, indicating that the firm should tighten credit or enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should be increased, assets decreased, or both. While the company's profit margin is lower than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are high compared to the industry - net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in an average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
    3. The firm's days sales outstanding ratio is more than the industry average, indicating that the firm should tighten credit or enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well above the industry average so sales should be increased, assets increased, or both. While the company's profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are low compared to the industry - net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in an above average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
    4. The firm's days sales outstanding ratio is comparable to the industry average, indicating that the firm should neither tighten credit nor enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should be increased, assets increased, or both. While the company's profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are low compared to the industry - net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However, the company seems to be in a below average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.
    5. The firm's days sales outstanding ratio is more than twice as long as the industry average, indicating that the firm should tighten credit or enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should be increased, assets decreased, or both. While the company's profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios are low compared to the industry - net income should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. Finally, it's market value ratios are also below industry averages. However, the company seems to be in an average liquidity position and financial leverage is similar to others in the industry.

  4. Suppose Barry had doubled its sales as well as its inventories, accounts receivable, and common equity during 2019. How would that information affect the validity of your ratio analysis? (Hint: Think about averages and the effects of rapid growth on ratios if averages are not used. No calculations are needed.)
    1. If 2019 represents a period of supernormal growth for the firm, ratios based on this year will be distorted and a comparison between them and industry averages will have little meaning. Potential investors who look only at 2019 ratios will be misled, and a return to normal conditions in 2020 could hurt the firm's stock price.
    2. If 2019 represents a period of supernormal growth for the firm, ratios based on this year will be accurate and a comparison between them and industry averages will have substantial meaning. Potential investors need only look at 2019 ratios to be well informed, and a return to normal conditions in 2020 could help the firm's stock price.
    3. If 2019 represents a period of normal growth for the firm, ratios based on this year will be distorted and a comparison between them and industry averages will have little meaning. Potential investors who look only at 2019 ratios will be misled, and a continuation of normal conditions in 2020 could hurt the firm's stock price.
