Bob's Big Belly (BBB) has asked you to make a recommendation for an investment proposal they have been looking at and trying to decide on. The investment is for new factory to manufacture a new tool with a total cost of $7,400,000 including $100,000 for permits. BBB is also planning to throw a big celebration if the investment is successful for $20,000. This new tool will require an increase in inventory of $100,000 from day one of the proposal. All other assets of the company are remaining the same. Sales of this new tool will be $10,000,000 per year with COGS estimated at 65% of sales. All other expenses are staying the same as before. BBB WACC is 14%, it's cost of borrowing is 9% and their marginal tax rate is 25%. The new factory will have a CCA rate of 30% and there will be other assets in this class when the project ends in five years. The salvage value of the factory will be $400,000 in five years. Assume the risk profile of the proposal is the same risk profile of BBB.
