Problem 11-06
New-Project Analysis
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $980,000, and it would cost another $22,000 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 $626,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $9,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $397,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%.

Gringotts is currently one of the few Australian listed companies that have not published an annual corporate sustainability report. Since the sustainability report is voluntary and no executive team member is keen on bureaucracy, it is difficult for them to believe that Gringotts should report its sustainability initiatives. But you think there are good reasons to do this, and you want to convince them to look at it the way you do.

Attached is a spreadsheet showing the most recent financial statements for Wall Enterprises. Please do your calculations on the spreadsheet. Using the percent of sales method forecast the financial statements for the next three years. Sales are anticipated to grow by 10%, 8%, and 5% thereafter. The WACC is 9%. Balance the balance sheets by using the Line of Credit or adding a Marketable Securities line if needed. The interest rate on all debt is 8% and is based on the debt outstanding at the end of the prior year. Dividends are forecast to grow by 10% each year. No additional long-term debt or commons stock will be sold. Make a note of anything you assumed in your forecast. Calculate the FCF and the terminal value to determine the value of the company. Given the 10 million shares outstanding what is the implied stock price? If an investor is willing to pay $250 million for 25% of the company, assuming a terminal value of 8X EBIT in 2019, (ignore the DCF calculations you just did) what return on investment does that provide? Is that likely to be an acceptable investment to the investor?
