Problem 9-19 Project Evaluation (LO2, LO3)United Pigpen is considering a proposal to manufacture high-protein hog feed. The project would make use of an existing warehouse,which is currently rented out to a neighboring firm. The next year's rental charge on the warehouse is $130,000, and thereafter, therent is expected to grow in line with inflation at 4% a year. In addition to using the warehouse, the proposal envisages an investment inplant and equipment of $1.38 million. This could be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over 10 years. However, Pigpen expectsto terminate the project at the end of 8 years and to resell the plant and equipment in year 8 for $460,000. Finally, the project requiresan immediate investment in working capital of $380,000. Thereafter, working capital is forecasted to be 10% of sales in each of years 1through 7. Year 1 sales of hog feed are expected to be $4.80 million, and thereafter, sales are forecasted to grow by 5% a year, slightlyfaster than the inflation rate. Manufacturing costs are expected to be 90% of sales, and profits are subject to tax at 21%. The cost ofcapital is 12%.What is the NPV of Pigpen's project?

The project would make use of an existing warehouse, which is currently rented out to a neighboring firm. The next year's rental charge on the warehouse is S100,000, and thereafter the rent is expected to grow in line with inflation at 4% a year. In addition to using the warehouse, the proposal envisages an investment in plant and equipment of $1.2 million. This could be depreciated for tax purposes over 10 years. However, Pigpen expects to terminate the project at the end of eight years and to resell the plant and equipment in year 8 for $400,000. Finally, the project requires an initial investment in working capital of S350,000. Thereafter, working capital is forecasted to be 10% of sales in each of years 1 through 7. Year I sales of hog feed are expected to be $4.2 million, and thereafter sales are forecasted to grow by 5% a year, slightly faster than the inflation rate.…
QUESTION 9: Chicago Food Services is considering installing a new refrigeration system that will cost $600,000. The system will be depreciated at a rate of 20% (Class 8) per year over the system's ten- year life and then it will be sold for $90,000. The new system will save $180,000 per year in pre-tax operating costs. An initial investment of $70,000 will have to be made in working capital. The tax rate is 35% and the discount rate is 10%. Calculate the NPV of the new refrigeration system. All calculations must be shown.

Quantitative Problem: Sunshine Smoothies Company (SSC) manufactures and distributes smoothies. SSC is considering the development of a new line of high-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 $3.5 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 $3,500,000/5 = $700,000. 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 $1,600,000 before taxes. The project will require an increase in net operating working capital of $730,000 at t = 0. The cost of the working capital will be fully recovered…
