What is the amount of the operating cash flow for a firm with $378,585 profit before tax, $100,000 depreciation expense, and a 35% marginal tax rate?
$378,585*0.35 =132504.75 378,585+100,000-132504.75 =346080.25
What types of projects does the BNSF strategic studies team evaluate?
discretionary
A corporation is contemplating an expansion project. The CFO plans to calculate the project's NPV by discounting the relevant cash flows (which include the initial up-front costs, the operating cash flows, and the terminal cash flows) at the corporation's cost of capital (WACC). Which of the following factors should the CFO include when estimating the relevant cash flows?
-Any sunk costs associated with the project. -Any opportunity costs associated with the project.
Jon Stevens, BNSF Vice President and Controller describes the capital spending process primarily as
-a means to ensure regulatory compliance -a balancing act that requires careful evaluation of the costs and benefits of each project
What types of analyses do the BNSF strategic studies team conduct?
-discounted cash flow -sensitivity
Identify which of these are the relevant cash flows when considering a capital budgeting project.
-lost rent from retail facility -remodeling expenses for new store -increase in inventory -expected salvage value of manufacturing equipment
Aero Motorcycles is considering opening a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth to meet demand for a new line of solar charged motorcycles (who wants to ride on a cloudy day anyway?) The proposed project has the following features: • The firm just spent $300,000 for marketing study to determine consumer demand (@t-0). • Aero Motorcycles purchased the land the factory will be built on 5 years ago for $2,000,000 and owns it outright (that is, it does not have a mortgage). The land has a current market value of $2,600,000. • The project has an initial cost of $ 22973784 excluding land, hint: land is not subject to depreciation), • If the project is undertaken, the company will realize an additional $8,000,000 in sales over each of the next ten years. (ie, sales in each year are $8,000,000) • The company's operating cost (not including depreciation) will equal 50% of sales. • The company's tax rate is 35 percent. • Use a 10-year straight-line depreciation schedule. • Att 10, the project is expected to cease being economically viable and the factory (including land) will be sold for $ 4500000 assume land has a book value equal to the original purchase price). • The project's WACC = 10 percent • Assume the firm is profitable and able to use any tax credits (ie. negative taxes).0 What is the project's outflow at t=0? Answer to the nearest whole dollar value.

A company just paid $10 million for a feasibility study. If the company goes ahead with the project, it must immediately spend another $84,391,290 million now, and then spend $20 million in one year. In two years it will receive $80 million, and in three years it will receive $90 million. If the cost of capital for the project is 11 percent, what is the project's NPV?

Revenues generated by a new fad product are forecast as follows: Year: 1 Revenues: 44,359 Year:2 Revenues: 40,000 Year: 3 Revenues: 20,000 Year: 4 Revenues: 10,000 Thereafter 0 Expenses are expected to be 50% of revenues, and working capital required in each year is expected to be 20% of revenues in the following year. The product requires an Immediate Investment of $40,000 in plant and equipment that will be depreciated using the straight line method over 5 years. The firm recently spent $2.000 on a study to estimate the revenues of the new product. The tax rate is 20% What is the operating cash flow in year 17 Answer to nearest whole dollar amount
Revenue: 44,359.00 -Expense: 22,179.50 (0.5*44,359) -Depreciation: 8,000.00 (40,000/5) =EBIT 14,179.50 -Tax 2,835.90 (0.2*14,179.50) =Net Income 11,343.60 (14,179.50-2,835.90) +Depreciation 8,000.00 =OCF 19,343.60 (11,343.60+8,000) Answer: 19343.60

What is the net effect on a firm's working capital if a new project requires: $34,867 increase in inventory, $42,427 increase in accounts receivable, $35,000.00 increase in machinery, and a $42,993 increase in accounts payable? Round to nearest dollar amount.
Increase in Inventory: 34,867 Increase in A/R: 42,427 Increase in A/P: 42,993 =34,867+42,427-42,993 =34,301
A company just paid $10 million for a feasibility study. If the company goes ahead with the project, it must immediately spend another $100 million now, and then spend $20 million in one year. In two years it will receive $80 million, and in three years it will receive $90 million. If the cost of capital for the project is 11 percent, what is the project's IRR? % terms to 2 decimal places and without the % sign.
