Salo inc. has assets in place that are financed through debt for $245,000,000 and equity for $53,000,000. At the moment the return on equity is 15% and the company keeps a constant debt-to-equity policy. The company plans to start a new project that will be managed separately from the other company's operations. The project has a 5-year life. The company needs to acquire new assets for $45,000,000. The company thinks to adopt a constant debt policy for this project and plans to raise a debt amount that is 1.4 the raised equity. In order to raise financial resources for the new project, Salo uses as lead underwriter Lindberg Bank, which charges a 3.6% spread to raise equity, and a 0% spread to raise debt. The new project will produce a constant expected net income of $2,500,000, the depreciation tax shield is as risky as the company's debt, while the project's assets are as risky as the company's assets in place. Also, the newly acquired assets will be depreciated straight-line. The corporate tax rate is 32% and the company can borrow at an interest rate of 3.55%.

(a) Calculate the new project's initial (time 0) cash flow, taking into account all side effects (that is, issuance costs).

(b) What is the annual after-tax cash flow from assets from the new project at the end of each of the five years of its life?

(c) Knowing that the depreciation tax shield is as risky as the company's debt, what is the project's NPV?

Problem 12-22 Accept or Reject a Special Order [LO12-4]

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 46,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:

  

Unit Total
  Direct materials $ 15 $ 690,000
  Direct labor 10 460,000
  Variable manufacturing overhead 3 138,000
  Fixed manufacturing overhead 7 322,000
  Variable selling expense 2 92,000
  Fixed selling expense 6 276,000
  Total cost $ 43 $ 1,978,000
The Rets normally sell for $48 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is constant at $322,000 per year within the range of 39,000 through 46,000 Rets per year.
Required:
1.

Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 39,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 7,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 7,000 units. This machine would cost $14,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. Determine the impact on profits next year if this special order is accepted.

2.

Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 39,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 7,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.40 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. If Polaski Company accepts the order, by how much will profits increase or decrease for the year?

3.

Assume the same situation as that described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 46,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 7,000 Rets. If the Army’s order is accepted, by how much will profits increase or decrease from what they would be if the 7,000 Rets were sold through regular channels?

  Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 170,000
  Variable selling expense 2 68,000
  Fixed selling expense 6 204,000

  Total cost $ 47 $ 1,598,000

   

The Rets normally sell for $52 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is constant at $170,000 per year within the range of 29,000 through 34,000 Rets per year.

  

Required:
1.

Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 29,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 5,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 5,000 units. This machine would cost $10,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. Determine the impact on profits next year if this special order is accepted.

     

2.

Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 29,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 5,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $2.00 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order.
