Buhler Industries is a farm implement manufacturer. Management is currently evaluating a proposal to build a plant that will manufacture lightweight tractors. Buhler plans to use a cost of capital of

$12\%$ to evaluate this project. Based on extensive$$research$,$ it has prepared the following incomplete incremental free cash flow projections$($in millions of$$dollars$)$:

The relevant CCA rate for the capital expenditures is

$20\%.$ Assume assets are never sold.

a$.$ For this$$base$-$case scenario, what is the NPV of the plant to manufacture lightweight$$tractors$?$

b$.$ Based on input from the marketing$$department$,$ Buhler is uncertain about its revenue forecast. In$$particular$,$ management would like to examine the sensitivity of the NPV to the revenue assumptions. What is the NPV of this project if revenues are

$10\%$ higher than$$forecast$?$ What is the NPV of this project if revenues are

$10\%$ lower than$$forecast$?$

Using the indirect method requires a separate calculation of the CCA tax shield. What is the present value of the CCA tax$$shield$?$

The present value of the CCA tax shield is $$$
