Question 3

a) Enlightened Ltd is investigating the introduction of a new advanced solar light. Forecast revenue from the new light is $1,250,000 per year and variable costs $450, 000 per year. The revenue and variable costs are expected to stay constant for the four years. The new light will require a new production line that will have an initial cost of $2,000,000. For tax purposes you can depreciate the full cost down to zero over the four year life of the project. At the end of four years you expect to be able to sell the production machinery for $350,000. Selling the new fixtures will require additional working capital of $25,000 starting immediately. You expect to recover the working capital investment at the end of the four year project. You have already spent $50,000 in research and development costs to invent the new light. Assume the tax rate is 30% and the required return is 10% APR (compounded annually).

i) What is the annual depreciation of the new production line?

ii) What is the annual Operating Cash Flow for the project?

iii) What are the Project Cash Flows for the project?

iv) What is the NPV for the project? What information does the NPV provide?

v) What is the payback period for the project? What information does the payback period provide?

vi) Should Enlightened Ltd proceed with the new solar light project? Justify your answer.

b) What is sensitivity analysis and how is it used in project evaluation?

These meals will incur all of the variable costs of meals produced, but variable administrative costs and total fixed costs will not be affected. Required: a. What impact would accepting this special order have on operating profit? (Select option "higher" or "lower", keeping Status Quo as the base. Select "none" if there is no effect.)

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 62 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,700 per month plus $40 per course plus $5 per student. The company’s sales should average $880 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 62 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 52 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

Required:

1. Prepare the company’s planning budget for September.

Total has discovered a potential 1 billion barrels of “wet” gas off the coast of South Africa. The gas could be used as petrol or perhaps even converted into electricity, according to one expert. The Brulpadda gas find should mean more tax revenue and a stronger rand. How Will It Affect South Africans Firstly, government will earn more tax. Total and its partners will pay the regular 28% corporate tax on all taxable income from Brulpadda. According to the most optimistic estimates, the Brulpadda find could yield $1 trillion (R14.4 trillion) for Total and its partners, which would mean a massive tax windfall for South Africa. Certain Businesses and Skills Will Be in Demand The Brulpadda find could have a massive boost to all kinds of businesses in South Africa. Companies providing helicopters, marine services, catering supplies and transport to get supplies to the site would be required.

4.1 Assuming that government budget is at zero balance discuss the implication of the gas find in terms of government’s fiscal policy for the following economic factors:

4.1.1 Collection of revenue through taxation on personal income (6)

4.1.2 Government spending on the provision of goods and services (7)

4.2 Explain, with the aid of a diagram, the economic impact on cost-push inflation and aggregate output. (12)

4.3 Discuss the main type of unemployment that would be reduced
