Always Fresh is in the business of delivering home meal kits. Noah the Chief Marketing Officer for Always Fresh wants to assess how much the firm is worth. To do so, Noah assesses transactional data for 2019 (Prior research in Finance has concluded that 1 year of transaction data is an acceptable amount of time to arrive at firm value).
Always Fresh has two SKU's (Stock keeping units) - individual meals and a bouquet of 10 meals. Each is delivered directly to the customer's doorsteps. To keep the operation lean, Always Fresh has followed a 100% digital business model by not owning any physical property. It has partnered with certified professionals across the country who source, pack, and ship the orders. The following is the transactional data for 2019.
| Individual meal | Bouquet of 10 meals | |
| Orders (in thousands) | 2544 | 120 |
| Customers (in thousands) | 2895 | 111 |
| Average Order Value | 57.52 | 556.91 |
| Average Revenue per Customer | 50.54 | 602.06 |
For individual meal customers, Always Fresh spent USD 6.3 mn dollars in 2019 to acquire them. The retention rate for these customers is 15% per annum and Always Fresh makes a 30% margin on these orders.
For customers that order 10 meals, Always Fresh spent USD 2.1 mn dollars in 2019 to acquire them. The retention rate for these customers is 22% and Always Fresh makes a hefty 40% margin on these orders.
Based on the above information, you have to help Noah in computing the customer value Always Fresh.
You can assume the discount rate to be 2%. As time is not mentioned, you should assume time to be infinity.

Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $4.5 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. If the land were sold today, the net proceeds would be $5 million after taxes. In five years, the land will be worth $5.3 million after taxes. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $15 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities are current: |
| Debt: |
40,000 6.2 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 25 years to maturity, selling for 95 percent of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments. |
| Common stock: | 825,000 shares outstanding, selling for $97 per share; the beta is 1.15. |
| Preferred stock: | 45,000 shares of 5.8 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $95 per share. |
| Market: | 7 percent expected market risk premium; 3.8 percent risk-free rate. |
|
DEI’s tax rate is 34 percent. The project requires $825,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational. |
| Requirement 1: | |
|
Calculate the project’s Time 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects. Assume that any NWC raised does not require floatation costs. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).) |
|
| Initial time 0 cash flow | $ |
| Requirement 2: | |
|
The new RDS project is somewhat riskier than a typical project for DEI, primarily because the plant is being located overseas. Management has told you to use an adjustment factor of +2 percent to account for this increased riskiness. Calculate the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating DEI’s project. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) |
|
| Discount rate | % |
| Requirement 3: | |
|
The manufacturing plant has an eight-year tax life, and DEI uses straightline depreciation. At the end of the project (i.e., the end of year 5), the plant can be scrapped for $2.1 million. What is the aftertax salvage value of this manufacturing plant? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).) |
|
| Aftertax salvage value | $ |
| Requirement 4: | |
|
The company will incur $3,500,000 in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture 12,000 RDSs per year and sell them at $10,800 per machine; the variable production costs are $9,900 per RDS. What is the annual operating cash flow, OCF, from this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).) |
|
| Operating cash flow | $ |
| Requirement 5: | |
| (a) |
Calculate the net present value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) |
| Net present value | $ |
| (b) |
Calculate the internal rate of return. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) |

Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $7.3 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. If the land were sold today, the net proceeds would be $7.78 million after taxes. In five years, the land will be worth $8.08 million after taxes. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $13.72 million to build. The following market data on DEI’s securities are current: Debt: 93,600 7.1 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 25 years to maturity, selling for 93.2 percent of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments. Common stock: 1,840,000 shares outstanding, selling for $95.80 per share; the beta is 1.11. Preferred stock: 87,000 shares of 6.35 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $93.80 per share. Market: 7.1 percent expected market risk premium; 5.05 percent risk-free rate. DEI’s tax rate is 23 percent. The project requires $915,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational. a. Calculate the project’s Time 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects. Assume that any NWC raised does not require floatation costs. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. The new RDS project is somewhat riskier than a typical project for DEI, primarily because the plant is being located overseas. Management has told you to use an adjustment factor of +3 percent to account for this increased riskiness. Calculate the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating DEI’s project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. The manufacturing plant has an eight-year tax life, and DEI uses straight-line depreciation. At the end of the project (i.e., the end of Year 5), the plant can be scrapped for $1.68 million. What is the aftertax salvage value of this manufacturing plant? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.) d. The company will incur $2,480,000 in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture 14,800 RDSs per year and sell them at $12,200 per machine; the variable production costs are $11,400 per RDS. What is the annual operating cash flow, OCF, from this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.) e. Calculate the project's net present value. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89) f. Calculate the project's internal rate of return. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
