Sauer Food Company has decided to buy a new computer system with an expected life of three years. The cost is $380,000. The company can borrow $380,000 for three years at 12 percent annual interest or for one year at 10 percent annual interest. Assume interest is paid in full at the end of each year.
a. How much would Sauer Food Company save in interest over the three-year life of the computer system if the one-year loan is utilized and the loan is rolled over (reborrowed) each year at the same 10 percent rate? Compare this to the 12 percent three-year loan.

Using dollar-value LIFO, 2017 ending inventory is?

What is the change in inventory in base-year prices in 2016 (i.e., comparing 2016 ending inventory to 2015 ending inventory, what is the change in base-year, not current year, prices)?

What is the change in inventory in base-year prices in 2017 (i.e., comparing 2017 ending inventory to 2016 ending inventory, what is the change in base-year, not current year, prices)?

Including the base-year of $68,400, how many layers are there at the end of 2017? (Hint: Any negative changes in inventory should be a correction to a previous layer, not a new layer.)?

This project involves a new type of widget. We think we can sell 6,000 units of the widget per year at a price of $950 each. Variable costs will run about $400 per unit and the product should have a four-year life.

Fixed Costs for the project will run $450,000 per year and we will need to invest a total of $1,200,000 in manufacturing equipment. The equipment will be depicted using MACRS over seven years. In year four, the equipment will be worth half of what we paid for it.

We will invest $1,150,000 in net working capital at the start. After that, net working capital requirements will be 25% of sales. Assume a 34% tax rate.

MACRS Table:

Year 1 = 14.29%

Year 2 = 24.49%

Year 3 = 17.49%

Year 4 = 12.49%

Should we undertake the project?

HINT: Prepare a pro forma income statement for each year. Then calculate OCF. Draw this on a timeline then calculate NPV assuming a 28% required return. Show work using Excel.
