A company is planning a four-year project, with an initial cost of $1.67 million. This investment cost is amortised to zero over

four years on a straight-line basis. However, the asset could be disposed of for $435,000 in four years. The project requires $198,000 in working capital initially and is fully recoverable after the project is completed. The project generates $1,850,000 in sales and $1,038,000 in costs each year. If the tax rate is 21% and the required return rate is 16.4%, what is NPV?

Answer:

The Net Present Value =  $451180.733

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

the initial cost of the project is $1670000

the initial increase in working capital is $198000

The total investment will be ; initial cost of the project + initial increase in working capital

The total investment = $1670000 + $198000

The total investment = $1868000

So, This investment cost is amortised to zero over four years; This implies that the project will depreciate in four years;

Now; lets determine the rate of the annual depreciation

The annual depreciation = \dfrac{Initial \ cost \  of \  project }{life \ of \ project}

The annual depreciation = \dfrac{1670000}{4}

The annual depreciation = $417500

Over to the annual operating cash flow; the annual operating cash flow can be calculated as follows:

annual operating cash flow = (sales - cost) × (1 - tax rate )+ (annual depreciation × tax rate )

Given that the tax rate = 21% = 0.21

annual operating cash flow = (1850000 -1038000)×(1-0.21)+(417500× 0.21)

annual operating cash flow = 812000 × 0.79 + 87675

annual operating cash flow = 641480 +  87675

annual operating cash flow = $729155

So; let's calculate the after tax salvage value for the project

We know that the sales values for the project in four years is $435,000 (i.e the disposal rate of the asset after four years)

Thus; the book value is zero

The after tax salvage value for the project can now be determined by the relation:

after tax salvage value = sale value - tax (sale value - book value)

after tax salvage value =  435000  - 0.21 (435,000 -0)

after tax salvage value = 435000 - 91350

after tax salvage value = $343650

Similarly; given that the recovering rate of the project is $198000;

The cash flow in year 4 will be: annual operating cash flow + after tax salvage + recovery working capital

cash flow in year 4 = $(729155 + 343650 + 198000)

cash flow in year 4 = $ 1270805

This implies that the cash flow from year one to three is : 729155

the cash flow in year four is : 1270805

Given that the Required return rate = 16.4% = 0.164

We can therefore determine the Present cash inflows by using the relation:

Present \ Value = \dfrac{c_1}{(1+r)^1}+ \dfrac{c_2}{(1+r)^2}+ \dfrac{c_3}{(1+r)^3}+ \dfrac{c_4}{(1+r)^4}

Present \ Value = \dfrac{729155}{(1+0.164)^1}+ \dfrac{729155}{(1+0.164)^2}+ \dfrac{729155}{(1+0.164)^3}+ \dfrac{1270805}{(1+0.164)^4}

Present \ Value = \dfrac{729155}{1.164^1}+ \dfrac{729155}{1.164^2}+ \dfrac{729155}{1.164^3}+ \dfrac{1270805}{1.164^4}

Present Value = $(626421.8213 + 538163.0767 + 462339.413+692256.4225)

Present Value = $2319180.733

Finally, The net present value = Present Value - Total Investment

Net Present Value = $(2319180.733 - 1868000)

Net Present Value =  $451180.733

Therefore; The Net Present Value =  $451180.733

The claim that 40% of those persons who retired from an industrial job before the age of 60 would return to work if a suitable j
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The p-value of the test is of 0.1922 > 0.02, which means that there is not significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis, that is, there is not significant evidence to conclude that the proportion is of less than 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the proportion is less than 40%:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of at least 0.4, that is:

H_0: p \geq 0.4

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion is of less than 0.4, that is:

H_1: p < 0.4

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}

74 out of the 200 workers sampled said they would return to work

This means that n = 200, X = \frac{74}{200} = 0.37

Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.37 - 0.4}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{200}}}

z = -0.87

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion below 0.37, which is the p-value of z = -0.87.

Looking at the z-table, z = -0.87 has a p-value of 0.1922.

The p-value of the test is of 0.1922 > 0.02, which means that there is not significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis, that is, there is not significant evidence to conclude that the proportion is of less than 40%.
