The Expresso Roast Corporation (ERC) is considering expanding its product lines by acquiring Mellow-Man Tea. The company’s found

er is obscenely wealthy and will operate these lines for only one year before retiring and will therefore use only a one-year planning horizon. Mellow-Man Tea has a cost of $80,000 and is expected to produce benefits in one year of $65,000. While this line is not as immediately profitable as the other alternative, it is estimated that this line could be sold upon the founder’s retirement in one year for $20,000. The health benefits of tea make this a less risky investment and ERC’s CFO has recommended a risk-premium of 10%. All future cash benefits will occur at the end of the year. The rate of return on US T-Bills is 4%. What is the IRR for this investment? Just enter the number and sign of your answer. Give your answer in percents (do not use the percent sign).

k0ka [10]

Answer:

The depreciation cost per year is:

Year 1: $16,800

Year 2: $31,200

Year 3: $27,600

Year 4: $15,120

Explanation:

To calculate the depreciation cost for the equipment based on hours used, we must determine the cost per hour:

cost per hour = (purchase cost - salvage value) / expected useful life

cost per hour = ($93,420 - $2,700) / 7,560 hours = $90,720 / 7,560 hours = $12 per hour

The depreciation cost per year is:

Year 1: 1,400 hours x $12 per hour = $16,800

Year 2: 2,600 hours x $12 per hour = $31,200

Year 3: 2,300 hours x $12 per hour = $27,600

Year 4: 1,260 hours x $12 per hour = $15,120
