You are evaluating a project with a 4 year life. Sales revenue is projected to be $320,000 in year 1, $400,000 in year 2, $424,000 in year 3, and $475,000 in year 4. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation) are $200,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment in equipment of $240,000 which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its four-year life. However, the actual market value of the equipment at the end of year 4 is expected to be $23,000. The level of net working capital required in each year is projected to be 10% of sales in the following year. The tax rate is 40% and the required return on the project is 15%.

(b) What is the investment in net working capital in the third year (t=3) of the project? Indicate clearly whether this would be a positive or negative number in your cash flow worksheet. Show all your work and clearly identify your final answer. (25 points)

(c) What is the after-tax cash flow from the sale of the equipment in year 4? Show all your work and clearly identify your final answer. (25 points)

Your team is looking for a way to make some revenue as either a for-profit or not-for-profit organization. This organization can market locally, nationally, or internationally. The product that you have decided to sell is lemonade. To make the endeavor work, you will have to define a marketable form of the drink and decide on a target market. Your marketing team's mission is to prove the company's goals will be met by providing research, strategy development, and the reason why this form of the product is viable. For this part of the project report on the following: Discuss the maturity life cycle stages of your product in no more than 90 words for each stage.

The data is below. Please show all work in excel.

Customers place orders on the company’s website, via email, or by telephone. Due to a renewed interest in music, this year sales have increased significantly. All sales are on credit, with 17% of credit sales in the last 12 months needing to be written off as uncollectible. This included several large online orders to first-time customers who denied ordering or receiving the merchandise.

Customer orders are picked and sent to the warehouse, where they are placed near the loading dock in alphabetical sequence by customer name. The loading dock is used both for outgoing shipments to customers as well as receiving incoming deliveries. There are ten to twenty incoming deliveries every day, from a large number of sources.

The increased volume of sales orders has resulted in a large number of errors where customers have been sent the wrong items. There have also been delays in shipping as items that supposedly were in stock could not be found in the warehouse. Although a perpetual inventory is maintained, there has been no physical count of inventory for over two years. When an item is missing, the warehouse staff notes the information down in a log book. At the end of the week, the warehouse staff uses the log book to update the inventory records.

The system is configured to prepare the sales invoice only after shipping employees enter the actual quantities sent to a customer, thereby ensuring that customers are billed only for items actually sent and not for anything on back order. Terms of trade are payment within 21 days of invoicing, with a 2% discount offered for payments made within 5 days. Approximately 50% of Strings long standing repeat customers pay within the 5 days.
