The MacCauley Company has sales of $200 million and total operating expenses (excluding depreciation) of $130 million. Straight-line depreciation on the company's assets is $15 million over 4 years. The Upfront Cost equals to the total depreciable value on the company’s assets. Assume that all taxable income is taxed at 30 percent. Assume also that net operating working is 3% of sales in each year. Calculate the MacCauley Company's WACC using 4% cost of debt, 12% cost of equity. There is 45% equity and 55% debt are on the company’s balance sheet. What is NPV? Would you invest in the project? Is IRR greater or smaller than WACC? What is the payback period? (There is no salvage value at the end of 4 years)

Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Estimated annual manufacturing overhead is $1,573,108. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.34 or ($1,573,108 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.

The company’s managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.
