A firm is considering a project that will generate perpetual after-tax cash flows of $22,000 per year beginning next year. The project has the same risk as the firm's overall operations and must be financed externally. Equity flotation costs 13 percent and debt issues cost 6 percent on an after-tax basis. The firm's D/E ratio is 0.7.

1.KADS, Inc., has spent $390,000 on research to develop a new computer game. The firm is planning to spend $190,000 on a machine to produce the new game. Shipping and installation costs of the machine will be capitalized and depreciated; they total $49,000. The machine has an expected life of three years, a $74,000 estimated resale value, and falls under the MACRS 7-year class life. Revenue from the new game is expected to be $590,000 per year, with costs of $240,000 per year. The firm has a tax rate of 40 percent, an opportunity cost of capital of 13 percent, and it expects net working capital to increase by $95,000 at the beginning of the project.

What will the cash flows for this project be? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

2.Your firm needs a computerized machine tool lathe which costs $57,000 and requires $12,700 in maintenance for each year of its 3-year life. After three years, this machine will be replaced. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class life category. Assume a tax rate of 34 percent and a discount rate of 11 percent.

3.

Your firm needs a computerized machine tool lathe which costs $44,000 and requires $11,400 in maintenance for each year of its 3-year life. After three years, this machine will be replaced. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class life category. Assume a tax rate of 35 percent and a discount rate of 11 percent. If the lathe can be sold for $4,400 at the end of year 3, what is the after-tax salvage value?

4.You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new special-purpose truck for $50,000. The truck falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it will be sold after three years for $20,400. Use of the truck will require an increase in NWC (spare parts inventory) of $2,400. The truck will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $16,800 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm?s marginal tax rate is 34 percent.

5.You are evaluating a project for The Tiff-any golf club, guaranteed to correct that nasty slice. You estimate the sales price of The Tiff-any to be $480 per unit and sales volume to be 1,200 units in year 1; 1,125 units in year 2; and 1,000 units in year 3. The project has a 3-year life. Variable costs amount to $265 per unit and fixed costs are $100,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $141,000 in assets, which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 3-year project life. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $27,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 20 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 39 percent and the required return on the project is 10 percent. What change in NWC occurs at the end of year 1?

6.You are evaluating a project for The Tiff-any golf club, guaranteed to correct that nasty slice. You estimate the sales price of The Tiff-any to be $500 per unit and sales volume to be 1,200 units in year 1; 1,125 units in year 2; and 1,000 units in year 3. The project has a 3-year life. Variable costs amount to $275 per unit and fixed costs are $100,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $135,000 in assets, which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 3-year project life. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $25,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 30 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 39 percent and the required return on the project is 12 percent. What is the operating cash flow for the project in year 2?

7.You are evaluating a project for The Ultimate recreational tennis racket, guaranteed to correct that wimpy backhand. You estimate the sales price of The Ultimate to be $410 per unit and sales volume to be 1,000 units in year 1; 1,250 units in year 2; and 1,325 units in year 3. The project has a 3-year life. Variable costs amount to $230 per unit and fixed costs are $100,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $168,000 in assets, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis with a life of 3 years. The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $36,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 25 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 35 percent and the required return on the project is 11 percent. (Use SL depreciation table) What will the cash flows for this project be?

What is the most the firm can pay for the project and still earn its required return?
