Sunshine Smoothies Company (SSC) manufactures and distributes smoothies. SSC is considering the development of a new line of hig

h-protein energy smoothies. SSC's CFO has collected the following information regarding the proposed project, which is expected to last 3 years:
The project can be operated at the company's Charleston plant, which is currently vacant.

The project will require that the company spend $4.9 million today (t = 0) to purchase additional equipment. For tax purposes the equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Thus, the firm's annual depreciation expense is $4,900,000/5 = $980,000. The company plans to use the equipment for all 3 years of the project. At t = 3 (which is the project's last year of operation), the equipment is expected to be sold for $2,300,000 before taxes.

The project will require an increase in net operating working capital of $650,000 at t = 0. The cost of the working capital will be fully recovered at t = 3 (which is the project's last year of operation).

Expected high-protein energy smoothie sales are as follows:

Year Sales
1 $2,400,000
2 7,850,000
3 3,500,000
The project's annual operating costs (excluding depreciation) are expected to be 60% of sales.

The company's tax rate is 40%.

The company is extremely profitable; so if any losses are incurred from the high-protein energy smoothie project they can be used to partially offset taxes paid on the company's other projects. (That is, assume that if there are any tax credits related to this project they can be used in the year they occur.)

The project has a WACC = 10.0%.

What is the project's expected NPV and IRR? Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Set up a time line for the free cash flow analysis.

Refer to the layout in the textbook analyzing revenues and costs in the free cash flow format.

Remember to calculate operating costs.

No interest charges are deducted.

Calculate taxes.

Don't forget to include depreciation impact on the free cash flows.

Don't forget to include the tax credit if EBIT is negative in any year. (Refer to next to last bullet.)

Don't forget to include ΔNOWC in the Year 0 outlay but remember to add it back in the Year 3 termination cash flows. (There is no tax impact.)

Don't forget to include the sale of the machinery, termination free cash flows and the tax effect of selling the machinery.

Calculate the project's NPV and IRR.

Make a decision whether to accept the project or reject it based on the calculated NPV and IRR of the project. Remember, If the project’s NPV is positive then its IRR will be greater than its WACC.

Solution

SSC is considering another project: the introduction of a "weight loss" smoothie. The project would require a $3 million investment outlay today (t = 0). The after-tax cash flows would depend on whether the weight loss smoothie is well received by consumers. There is a 40% chance that demand will be good, in which case the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2.2 million at the end of each of the next 3 years. There is a 60% chance that demand will be poor, in which case the after-tax cash flows will be $0.52 million for 3 years. The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 11%. The firm will know if the project is successful after receiving the cash flows the first year, and after receiving the first year's cash flows it will have the option to abandon the project. If the firm decides to abandon the project the company will not receive any cash flows after t = 1, but it will be able to sell the assets related to the project for $2.8 million after taxes at t = 1. Assuming the company has an option to abandon the project, what is the expected NPV of the project today? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Use the values in "millions of dollars" to ascertain the answer.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

B) rent seeking behavior

Explanation:

Rent seeking behavior refers to actions carried out by businesses that try to seek benefits through government policies. In other words, the businesses will try to make the government give them some type of special treatment or special benefit at the expense of the general population.

In this case, the American winemakers were able to convince government officials to only serve domestic wine at government events. The problem is that the general population (taxpayers) are the ones that pay for that wine. American winemakers will benefit at the expense of the taxpayers.
