Your company is about to undertake a major investment project. The project will require an initial outlay of $100 million for fi

xed assets plus another $50 million for working capital. Tax authorities will allow you to depreciate the fixed assets on a straight-line basis over four years to a salvage value of zero. In fact, however, you expect that you can sell the fixed assets for $25 million at the end of Year 4. You also expect that you can recover your working capital at its book value at that time. You expect that the project will generate $60 million in revenue and $30 million in cash operating expenses (excluding depreciation) during each of the next four years. The corporate tax rate is 40%.
A) What are the cash flows for each year of the project’s life that you would use in conducting an NPV analysis of the project?
B) If the cost of capital is 10%, what is the project’s NPV?
C) What is the minimum price at which you could sell the fixed assets at the end of Year 4 in order for the project to be just acceptable?

Answer:

A) initial outlay = $150 million

Cash flow year 1 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28

Cash flow year 2 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28

Cash flow year 3 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 = $28

Cash flow year 4 = [($30 - $25) x 0.6] + $25 + ($25 x 60%) + $50 = $93

B) Using a financial calculator, NPV = -$16.85 million

C) cash flow year 4 should increase by $24.667 million, meaning that the selling price must increase by $$24.667/0.6 = $41.11 million

minimum selling price $25 + $41.11 = $66.11 million

andre [41]

Explanation:

The preference committee members are as follows:

Member 1 prefers a to b and b to c

Member 2 prefers c to a and a to b

Member 3 prefers b to c and c to a

The order of this problem can be solved:

Preference for 1, 2 and 3 are as below:

1. a then b then c

2. c then a then b

3. b then c then

Member 1 knowing advantage , will always disagree with 2 and 3 so that he can win when it comes to vote

So, 2 and 3 in order to win , will have to cooperate with each other.

As we can see that the least suitable option according to Member 2 and Member 3 are b and a respectively. Therefore they would not consider supporting either b or a.

So the possible option of Member 2 and Member 3 supporting will be C.

Therefore both 2 and 3 will agree on C.

The predicted outcome of the game is C.
