McGilla Golf is evaluating a new line of golf clubs. The clubs will sell for $990 per set and have a variable cost of $445 per set. The company has spent $155,000 for a marketing study that determined the company will sell 50,000 sets per year for seven years. The marketing study also determined that the company will lose sales of 9,400 sets of its high-priced clubs. The high-priced clubs sell at $1,490 and have variable costs of $620. The company also will increase sales of its cheap clubs by 12,000 sets. The cheap clubs sell for $445 and have variable costs of $175 per set. The fixed costs each year will be $9,600,000. The company has also spent $1,150,000 on research and development for the new clubs. The plant and equipment required will cost $30,800,000 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 $2,500,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent and the cost of capital is 14 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.)

Bilboa Freightlines, S.A., of Panama, has a small truck that it uses for intracity deliveries. The truck is worn out and must be either overhauled or replaced with a new truck. The company has assembled the following information: Present Truck New Truck Purchase cost new $ 31,000 $ 36,000 Remaining book value $ 24,000 - Overhaul needed now $ 23,000 - Annual cash operating costs $ 22,000 $ 19,500 Salvage value-now $ 5,000 - Salvage value-five years from now $ 20,000 $ 12,000 If the company keeps and overhauls its present delivery truck, then the truck will be usable for five more years. If a new truck is purchased, it will be used for five years, after which it will be traded in on another truck. The new truck would be diesel-operated, resulting in a substantial reduction in annual operating costs, as shown above. The company computes depreciation on a straight-line basis. All investment projects are evaluated using a 7% discount rate. Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1.

Ocean World is considering purchasing a water park in Charlotte, North Carolina, for $2,100,000. The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $535,000 for eight years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for eight years and have no residual value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Its owners want payback in less than five years and an ARR of 10% or more. Management uses a 12% hurdle rate on investments of this nature. Requirements Requirement 1. Compute the payback period, the ARR, the NPV, and the approximate IRR of this investment Requirement 2. Recommend whether the company should invest in this project

c. Which of these two depreciation methods (straight-line or double-declining-balance) results in the highest net income for financial reporting purposes during the first two years of the equipment’s use?

Barbour Corporation, located in Buffalo, New York, is a retailer of high-tech products and is known for its excellent quality and innovation. Recently, the firm conducted a relevant cost analysis of one of its product lines that has only two products, T-1 and T-2. The sales for T-2 are decreasing and the purchase costs are increasing. The firm might drop T-2 and sell only T-1. Barbour allocates fixed costs to products on the basis of sales revenue. When the president of Barbour saw the income statements (see below), he agreed that T-2 should be dropped. If T-2 is dropped, sales of T-1 are expected to increase by 10% next year, but the firm’s cost structure will remain the same. T-1 T-2 Sales $ 280,000 $ 324,000 Variable costs: Cost of goods sold 86,000 162,000 Selling & administrative 12,000 66,000 Contribution margin $ 182,000 $ 96,000 Fixed expenses: Fixed corporate costs 76,000 91,000 Fixed selling and administrative 28,000 37,000 Total fixed expenses $ 104,000 $ 128,000 Operating income $ 78,000 $ (32,000 ) Required: 1. Find the expected change in annual operating income by dropping T-2 and selling only T-1. 2. By what percentage would sales from T-1 have to increase in order to make up the financial loss from dropping T-2? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).) 3. What is the required percentage increase in sales from T-1 to compensate for lost margin from T-2, if total fixed costs can be reduced by $52,500? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)
