All analysis should be done in MS Excel, and a memo to your boss explaining the situation, your

analysis, and conclusion should be prepared in MS Word. You must upload both files to be graded.

You will only get full credit for the assignment if your analysis is correct, all calculations and/or formulas

use cell references, and your memo has the right content, flows well, and is properly formatted, and

grammatically correct. An example of a good memo, and an Excel template is provided for your benefit.

You can add or delete columns in the excel template as needed.

Playtan Corporation has a machine that either should be repaired or should be replaced soon.

You have recently been hired by Playtan and one of your assignments is to help decide whether

replacing the machine, or repairing it is in the best interest of your company.

Investment required for repairing the machine is only $500,000 and cost to replace the machine

is $3,000,000. Repairing the machine will cut down on the number of returns from customers

and increase cash flows, while replacing the machine may increase the number of units sold.

Playtan has evaluated and calculated additional cash flows that will be generated under the two

scenarios over the next five years as follows:

Year

Cash flow (if repaired)

Cash Flow (if replaced)

1

197,000

1,613,000

2

160,000

1,185,000

Playtan does not accept projects that will pay back in more than 3 years, or any projects that will not

maximize shareholder wealth. So, you will need to use all capital budgeting techniques you’ve learnt in

your Finance class to ensure that the right option is chosen.

Cost of capital for the project (repair or replacement) could be anywhere from 8% to 14%, so you will

conduct your analyses at various weighted average cost of capital (WACC) or Required rate of return

points including at least five at 8%, 9%, 11%, 13%, and 14% for both scenarios, and also draw an NPV

profile for both situation using your calculations.

Use your knowledge of capital budgeting and time value of money to decide which of the options is better

for Playtan. All analysis must be done in Excel. Your excel model should be such that it can be used by

Playtan or any other corporation for similar capital budgeting situations – so anyone can change any

numbers and use the model again. This would require all calculations to be using cell references and excel

functions. You must write a memo to your boss, explaining the situation, your analysis, and your

conclusion. You must also explain the drawbacks of your technique/s if there are any.

Make sure that all your submissions have your full name, class, and section number included.
