A company that manufactures recreational pedal boats has approached Mike Cichanowski to ask if he would be interested in using Current Designs rotomold expertise and equipment to produce some of the pedal boat components. Mike is intrigued by the idea and thinks it would be an interesting way of complementing the present product line. One of Mikes hesitations about the proposal is that the pedal boats are a different shape than the kayaks that Current Designs produces. As a result, the company would need to buy an additional rotomold oven in order to produce the pedal boat components. This project clearly involves risks, and Mike wants to make sure that the returns justify the risks. In this case, since this is a new venture, Mike thinks that a 15% discount rate is appropriate to use to evaluate the project. As an intern at Current Designs, Mike has asked you to prepare an initial evaluation of this proposal. To aid in your analysis, he has provided the following information and assumptions. 1. The new rotomold oven will have a cost of $256,000, a salvage value of $0, and an 8-year useful life. Straightline depreciation will be used. 2. The projected revenues, costs, and results for each of the eight years of this project are as follows. Sales $220,000 Less: Manufacturing Costs $140,000 Depreciation 32,000 Shipping and Admin. Costs 22,000 194,000 Income Before Income Taxes 26,000 Income Tax Expense 10,800 Net Income $15,200 Instructions: (a) Compute the annual rate of return (Round to two decimal places) (b) Compute the payback period (Round to two decimal places) (c) Compute the net present value using a discount rate of 9% (Round to the nearest dollar). Should the proposal be accepted using this discount rate? (d) Compute the net present value using a discount rate of 15%. (Round to the nearest dollar) Should the proposal be accepted using this discount rate?
