7. Ms. Flo N. Lowe, a project analyst at Grounded Aircraft, would like her idea of on-board gift shops included in next year's capital budget. According to her report, the following can be expected in each of the five years of the bift shop's expected life. (answer parts a, b and c) Year 0 Years 1-5 Investment $200,000 Sales $550,000 Variable costs@ 75% 412,500 Fixed costs 30.000 Depreciation 40,000 Pretax Profit 67,500 Taxes 40% 27,000 After-tax Profits 40,500 Depreciation 40,000 Cash Flows Assume the cost of capital is 15% and the tax rate is 40% 80,500 NPV = $69,848.49 a.) What would the net present value be if the investment turns out to be $300,000 instead of $200,000 (assume straight line depreciation) and would you accept the project? b.) Instead, what if airline travel takes off and sales come in at $750,000 per year (variable costs remain at 75% of sales)? What would be the new net present value? c.) Instead, assume that a rival (Jet Black, Inc.) is working on a similar project. If they can develop their product, you project that your sales estimate will be 10% lower than originally thought and that your variable costs will rise to 77% of sales due to higher promotional costs. Calculate NPV and determine if you should go ahead with the project
