Aero Motorcycles is considering opening a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth to meet the 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 a 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​ $20,000,000 (excluding​ land, hint: the land is not subject to​ depreciation). ​• If the project is​ undertaken, at t​ = 0 the company will need to increase its inventories by​ $3,500,000, accounts receivable by​ $1,500,000, and its accounts payable by​ $2,000,000. This net operating working capital will be recovered at the end of the​ project's life​ (t =​ 10). ​• If the project is​ undertaken, the company will realize an additional​ $8,000,000 in sales over each of the next ten years.​ (i.e. 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. ​• At t​ = 10, the project is expected to cease being economically viable and the factory​ (including land) will be sold for $4,500,000 (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​ (i.e. negative​ taxes). What is the operating cash flow​ @ t=1?

Revenues generated by a new fad product are forecast as follows: Year Revenues 1 $52,387 2 40,000 3 20,000 4 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 1? Answer to nearest whole dollar amount.

Annual Depreciation = Cost of Investment / Life = 40,000 / 5= $8,000 Year 1 Revenue = $52,387 Year 1 Expenses = $52,387 x 50% = $26,193.5 Year 1 EBITDA = Revenue - Expenses = 52,387 - 26,193.5 = $26,193.5 Year 1 Operating Cash Flow = EBITDA x (1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation x Tax Rate = 26,193.5 x (1 - 0.2) + 8,000 x 0.2 = $22,554.8

Any opportunity costs associated with the project.

Which of the following costs would you consider when making a capital budgeting decision? A) Sunk cost B) Opportunity cost C) Interest expense D) Fixed overhead cost

B

Which of the following statements is FALSE? A) Because value is lost when a resource is used by another project, we should include the opportunity cost as an incremental cost of the project. B) Sunk costs are incremental with respect to the current decision regarding the project and should be included in its analysis. C) Overhead expenses are associated with activities that are not directly attributable to a single business activity but instead affect many different areas of the corporation. D) When computing the incremental earnings of an investment decision, we should include all changes between the firm's earnings with the project versus without the project.

B

The difference between scenario analysis and sensitivity analysis is that: A) scenario analysis is based upon the IRR and sensitivity analysis is based upon NPV. B) only sensitivity analysis allows us to change our estimated inputs of our NPV analysis. C) only scenario analysis considers the effect on NPV of changing multiple project parameters. D) only scenario analysis breaks the NPV calculation into its component assumptions.

D

You are considering adding a microbrewery on to one of your firm's existing restaurants. This will entail an increase in inventory of $8000, an increase in accounts payable of $2500, and an increase in property, plant, and equipment of $40,000. All other accounts will remain unchanged. The change in net working capital resulting from the addition of the microbrewery is: A) $45,500. B) $10,500. C) $6500. D) $5500.

D 8000-2500 =5500

Which of the following statements is FALSE? A) Sensitivity analysis allows us to explore the effects of errors in our estimated inputs in our NPV analysis for the project. B) To compute the NPV for a project, you need to estimate the incremental cash flows and choose a discount rate. C) Estimates of the cash flows and cost of capital are often subject to significant uncertainty. D) When we are certain regarding the input to a capital budgeting decision, it is often useful to determine the break-even level of that input.

D Explanation: When we are UNCERTAIN regarding the input to a capital budgeting decision, it is often useful to determine the break-even level of that input.

Which of the following statements is FALSE? A) We can use scenario analysis to evaluate alternative pricing strategies for our project. B) Scenario analysis considers the effect on NPV of changing multiple project parameters. C) The difference between the IRR of a project and the cost of capital tells you how much error in the cost of capital it would take to change the investment decision. D) Scenario analysis breaks the NPV calculation into its component assumptions and shows how the NPV varies as each one of the underlying assumptions change.

D Scenario analysis shows how the NPV varies as MULTIPLE underlying assumptions change.

What is the equivalent annual cost for a project that requires a $50,000 investment at time-period zero, and a $10,000 annual expense during each of the next 4 years, if the opportunity cost of capital is 10%?

Present value of cash outflows = CF0 + Annual Cash outflow * PVAF (10%, 1-4 years) = 50,000 + 10,000 * 3.16986544634 = 81698.65 equivalent annual cost = Present value of cash outflows / PVAF (10%, 1-4 years) = 81698.65 / 3.16986544634 = 25773.54

What is the amount of the operating cash flow for a firm with $371,416 profit before tax, $100,000 depreciation expense, and a 35% marginal tax rate?

Profit before taxes- taxes= net income + depreciation 371,416- (371,416*35%){129,995.6}= 241,420.4 +100,000 =$341,420.4
