1.

Revenues generated by a new fad product are forecast as follows:

Year	Revenues
1	$41,261
2	40,000
3	20,000
4	10,000
Thereafter	0

Expenses are expected to be 50% of revenues, and working capital required in each year is expected to be 20% of revenues in the following year. The product requires an immediate investment of $40,000 in plant and equipment that will be depreciated using the straight-line method over 5 years. The firm recently spent $2,000 on a study to estimate the revenues of the new product. The tax rate is 20%. What is the operating cash flow in year 1? Answer to nearest whole dollar amount.

5. Aero Motorcycles is considering opening a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth to meet the demand for a new line of solar-charged motorcycles (who wants to ride on a cloudy day anyway?) The proposed project has the following features;

The firm just spent $300,000 for a marketing study to determine consumer demand (@ t=0).

Aero Motorcycles purchased the land the factory will be built on 5 years ago for $2,000,000 and owns it outright (that is, it does not have a mortgage). The land has a current market value of $2,615,435.

The project has an initial cost of $20,000,000 (excluding land, hint: the land is not subject to depreciation).

If the project is undertaken, at t = 0 the company will need to increase its inventories by $3,500,000, accounts receivable by $1,500,000, and its accounts payable by $2,000,000. This net operating working capital will be recovered at the end of the projects life (t = 10).

If the project is undertaken, the company will realize an additional $8,000,000 in sales over each of the next ten years. (i.e. sales in each year are $8,000,000)

The companys operating cost (not including depreciation) will equal 50% of sales.

The companys tax rate is 35 percent.

Use a 10-year straight-line depreciation schedule.

At t = 10, the project is expected to cease being economically viable and the factory (including land) will be sold for $4,500,000 (assume land has a book value equal to the original purchase price).

The projects WACC = 10 percent

Assume the firm is profitable and able to use any tax credits (i.e. negative taxes).

What is the project's NPV? Round to nearest whole dollar value.
