1. The Boeing Corp. is considering building a new aircraft, the 787 larger than the 747 and larger than the Airbus A380. The company's Renton WA Facility, where 747s are currently manufactured, would have to be expanded. Expansion costs are forecast to be $2.5B, incurred at t = 0. Also at time t = 0, before production begins, inventory will be increased by $1.855B. Assume that this inventory is sold at the end of the project at t = 2. The first sales from operation of the new plant will occur at the end of year 1 (t = 1). Boeing forecasts sales of 220 planes in each of the two years. The plane will be sold for $130M each. The cost of manufacturing a plane is $115M. Annual overhead expenses are $775M. The construction facilities are classified as 15 year property. When the plant is closed it will be sold for $1B. The company is in the 34% marginal tax bracket. Boeing's cost of capital is 12%. What are the terminal year cash flows?

2. The Munsell Colour Company is considering the purchase of a new batch polymer-bonding machine for producing its number one line of crayons. Although the machine being considered will not produce any increase in sales revenues, it will result in the before-tax reduction of labour costs by $200,000 per year. The machine has a purchase price of $250,000, and it would cost an additional $10,000 to install the machine. In addition, to operate this machine, inventory must be increased by $15,000. The machine is categorized as 10-year property. After 2 years, it can be sold for $150,000. The tax rate is 34% and the cost of capital is 15%. What are the operating cash flows at the end of Year 1?

3. Goodweek Tire, Inc., has recently developed a new tire, the SuperTread, and must decide whether to make the investment. The research and development costs so far total $10 million. Market research (costing $5 million) shows that there is significant demand for a SuperTread type tire. The SuperTread will be produced and sold for the next two years. Goodweek Tire must initially invest $120 million in production equipment. This equipment can be sold for $51,428,571 at the end of two years. The equipment is classified as 15-year property for depreciation purposes. The SuperTread is expected to sell for $45 per tire. The variable cost for each SuperTread is $15. Analysts expect automobile manufacturers to build five million new cars this year and for production to grow 2.5% in the following year. Each new car needs four tires. Goodweek Tire expects the SuperTread to capture 10 percent of the market. Assume that revenues and expenses occur at the end of each of the two years of production. Working capital is equal to 15% of sales. Investments in working capital are made at the beginning of each year. Assume a tax rate of 40%. At the end of the terminal year, the working capital is liquidated. What is the NPV for the proposed acquisition if the cost of capital is 7.64%?

4. The Mountain Jam Company purchased a machine 5 years ago for $70,000. It has an estimated life of 7 years from the time of purchase and is expected to have zero salvage value at the end of 7^th year. The old machine can be sold today for $60,000. A new machine can be purchased for $69,300. It has a 2-year life and is expected to reduce operating expenses by $50,000 per year. Sales aren't expected to change. After 2 years, the new machine can be sold for $20,000. The company uses the straight-line method to calculate depreciation for both machines. The tax rate is 40%. What is the NPV for the proposed acquisition if the cost of capital is 13%?

5. Meals on Wings Inc., which supplies prepared meals for corporate aircraft, needs to purchase new broilers. The new broilers would replace broilers purchased 10 years ago for $105,000, which are being depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero salvage value (15-year depreciable life). The old broilers can be sold today for $63,000. The new broilers will cost $202,000, installed (not counting funds already spent), and will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation over their 5-year life. They will be sold at their book value at the end of the 5th year. The firm expects to increase its revenues by $27,000 per year if the new broilers are purchased, but cash expenses will also increase by $3,000 per year. Annual interest expense will be $2,000, and net working capital will increase by $5,000. The new broilers will occupy space currently leased to another firm for $530 per month, and $5,000 has already been spent preparing the building for new broilers. The firm's tax rate is 40%. What are the terminal year cash flows? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

8. Duddy Kravitz owns the Saint Viateur Bagel store. His world famous bagels are hand rolled, boiled in honey-water and baked in a wood-burning oven. The store sells 5,000 bagels per day and is open 365 days of the year. The bagels are so popular that, on weekends, the customer line-up runs half-way down the block. Uncle Benjy thinks that the wood-fired oven should be replaced by a modern gas oven, which would reduce costs by $0.02 per bagel. A new oven would cost $105,000. Duddy is considering Uncle Benjy's idea, but he only plans to be in business for another two years. The bagels are sold for $0.75 each. The cost of producing each bagel with the wood-burning oven is $0.50 which includes labour and raw materials. The current oven was purchased thirty years ago for $20,000. It could be sold today for $5,000 and will be worth $3,000 in two years. A new oven costs $105,000 today and could be sold for $55,000 in two years. Duddy's cost of capital is 9%. Assume that investment cash flows occur immediately, and that sales and production costs occur at the end of the year. Assume that both ovens are classified as 10-year property and depreciated using the MACRS system. The tax rate is 35%. What is the IRR for the proposed acquisition?
