Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and
the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by a MBA student.
The production line would be set up in unused space (Market Value
Zero) in Sugar Land’ main plant. Total cost of the machine is
$350,000. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years and will be
depreciated using MACRS for 3-year property class. The machine will
have a salvage value of $35,000 after 4 years.
The new line will generate Sales of 1,750 units per year for 4
years and the variable cost per unit is $110 in the first year.
Each unit can be sold for $210 in the first year. The sales price
and variable cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to
inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working
capital would have to increase by $30,000 at time zero (No change
in NWC in years 1 through 3 and the NWC will be recouped in year
4). The firm’s tax rate is 40% and its weighted average cost of
capital is 11%.
