11-8. (Calculating free cash flows) At present, Global Skateboards Limited is considering expanding its product line to include solar-powered skateboards; however, it is questionable how well they will be received by skateboarders. Although you feel there is a 55 percent chance you will sell 12,000 of these products per year for 8 years after which time this project is expected to shut down because gas-powered skateboards will become more popular), you will recognize a 25 percent chance that you will sell only 3,500, and also a 20 percent chance you will sell 14,500. The solar powered skateboards will sell for $120 each and have a variable cost of $50 each. Regardless of how many you sell, the annual fixed costs associated with production would be $182,000. In addition, there would be a $1.2 million initial expenditure associated with the purchase of new production equipment. It is assumed that this initial expenditure will be depreciated using the simplified straight-line method down to zero over 8 years. Because of the number of stores that will need inventory, working-capital requirements are the same regardless of the level of sales. This project will require a one-time initial investment of $60,000 in net working capital, and working-capital investment will be recovered when the project is shut down. Finally, assume that the firm's marginal tax rate is 20 percent. a. What is the initial outlay associated with the project? 1260000 b. What are the annual free cash flows associated with the project for years 1 through 7 under each sales forecast? What are the expected annual free cash flows for years 1 through 7? c. What is the terminal cash flow in year 8 (that is, what is the free cash flow in year 8 plus any additional cash flows associated with the termination of the project)? d. Using the expected free cash flows, what is the project's NPV given an 8 percent required rate of return? What would the project's NPV be if 10,000 skateboards were sold
