TM GLOBAL MARINE SDN BHD TM GLOBAL MARINE SDN BHD formerly known as SMART WORK CO-ORDINATING SDN BHD. Its line of services includes Harbour Assistance, Lighterage, Towage, Ship Salvage, Ship Management, Diving and Underwater Marine Works, Offshore Structure, and other specialized services which based in Johor Bahru Harbour. It thus offers more than six years of experience in the sector, reinforced by a punctual adaptation provides towage services and tug assistance to the ships at Port and ship to ship transfer to mother barge. TM GLOBAL MARINE SDN BHD, owns and operates a large fleet various size/type of newly build or uses Tugboat and Barges, all barge is well maintenance and in very tip-top conditions able to offer comprehensive transportation and support solutions to its valued customers in South East Asia Marketing Apart from its marine transportation activity, the company also offers fresh water supply to the ships at roads, delivery of stores etc. to and from the ships, additional assistance to the ships (including salvage), and shipping agency in connection with towage, MPOB Palm oil supplies and contractor work. This business is currently run by the owner David Thompson, his wife Lily Thompson. They have two children, Didic and Adam. Didic is currently enrolled at INTI International College Subang. With this knowledge she is advising her parents and siblings as to ways in which to grow the business. Five years ago they purchased 4 new barges for MYR2,000,000.00 cach which they are able to depreciate for tax purposes at 10% per annum straight line. At this time 4 barges were sold and four others had extensive renovations. This meant the renovated barges had a useful life of & years and a value for taxation depreciation purposes of MYR400,010.00 for each of renovated barge. They are able to be depreciated for tax purposes for 8 years' straight line. Didic thought it was interesting and helpful that the taxation depreciation was at the same rate as the accounting depreciation. If the expected project goes ahead these new and renovated barges, purchased five years ago, can be sold in period 0 for 20% of their original cost. For taxation purposes the full amounts of the tax base are depreciated with no allowance for residual value. The new barges purchased five years ago are expected to have a salvage value of MYR100,000.00 cach at the end of their 10 year useful life and the renovated barges a salvage value of MYR50,000.00 cach at the end of their & year useful life. They will only really be able to be scrapped at this time. In recent times there has been a move away from the use of petrol in nautical barges with most using light diesel. Due to the failure of a competitor there is also the opportunity to now supply heavy diesel to the fleet of cruise liners that regularly visit Johor Bahru harbour. They would not have to tender for this work as they have been offered the contract, as they are the only fuel barge company still in operation on Johor Bahru harbour. To be able to take advantage of this contract the company will have to sell its existing barges and investin eight new barges. These new barges will cost MYR4,000,000.00 cach. Their accountant has advised that these can be depreciated straight line at 5% per annum while their tax advisor has advised that they are can be depreciated for 10 years on a straight line basis. They can be sold at the end of their useful lives for 15% of their purchase price. Given Didic's outstanding marks while at University she is able to advise the business to use the accounting depreciation rate for capital budgeting purposes. The benefit of the new barges is that they will have the necessary technology to be able to carry and pump both light and heavy diesel. The one downside is that they will no longer be able to sell petrol. As they are no longer distributing petrol, their insurance company has advised that their insurance premiums will fall by MYR2,000.00 per year from the first year of operation. A feasibility study has been completed by Woodward and Associates to assess the likely demand for fuel for the next ten years. They expect that there will be a demand for 5 million litres of light diesel and 10 million litres of heavy diesel in the first year. The margin on the sale of fuel has traditionally been MYR2.00 per litre delivered. Previously they were supplying 2 million litres of petrol and 4 million litres of light diesel per annum. The cost of this report was MYR25,000. With the move to heavy diesel it is estimated that they will hold MYR1,000,000.00 worth of heavy diesel inventory and MYR500,000.00 worth of light diesel. This is an increase from the previous figure of MYR350,000.00 of light diesel inventory held. They will no longer need to hold the MYR50,000.00 worth of petrol. This can be sold for this value if they go ahead with the project. The current tax rate is 30%. If the project goes ahead they will not need as many staff as they previously did. The jobs of two captains and two maintenance workers will no longer be required. This will save the company a total of MYR200,000 per year. In light of the fact that these workers are being retrenched they will receive a redundancy payment at the very start of the project of 50% of their annual wage. Presently David's wage is MYR150,000.00 and Lily's is MYR50,000.00. If the new project goes ahead the company will pay David MYR 100,000.00 per annum and Lily also MYR100,000.00 per annum. To facilitate the purchase of the eight new barges the company will borrow MYR32,000,000.00 from Maybank at a rate of 7.5% per annum on an interest only basis. The current rate of inflation is 5.0% p.a. and they pay tax at 30 cents in the ringgit and the company's required nominal rate of return is 12.5% p.a. on a project such as this one. Thus, the required real rate of return is 7.143% Detailed instruction: This assignment consists of 2 parts (please refer marking rubrics) (1) Calculate the NPV using incremental cash flows approach. Clearly indicate the decision and reason to accept or reject project. (2) Conduct sensitivity analysis for the following: demand of diesel, margin on sales of fuel, and salvage value *Please do not include salvage value when calculating depreciation
