Capital budgeting question.
Assignment Question Q2 The classic capital budgeting analysis for the new project line (page 4 of the Flash Memory case) is shown below. Read the 4 paragraphs under the Investment Opportunity subhead carefully. Most of the analysis is already completed. This assignment question requires you to examine the numbers and explain where they come from, and to enter the missing information in rows 29-33. CFW Chapter 5 explains the process, using the Generic Capital Budgeting Template. The Flash Memory template below is much shorter but contains the same information. base year ($00Os) 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Investment in equipment -$2,200 Net working capital required (total from balance sheet each year) $5,648 $7,322 $7,322 $2,877 $1,308 $0 Investment in net working capital -$5,648 -$1,674 $0 $4,446 $1,569 $1,308 Sales $21,600 $28,000 $28,000 $11,000 $5,000 Cost of goods sold (includes depreciation) $17,064 $22,120 $22,120 $8,690 $3,950 Research & development $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 Selling, general & administrative $1,806 $2,341 $2,341 $920 $418 Launch promotion $300 $0 $0 SO $0 Income before income taxes $2,430 $3,539 $3,539 $1,390 $63 ncome taxes $972 $1,416 $1,416 $556 $25 Net income $1,458 $2,124 $2,124 $834 $379 Depreciation $440 $440 $440 $440 $44 Cash flow from operations $1,898 $2,564 $2,564 $1,274 $819 Total cash flow $7,848 $225 $2,564 $7,009 $2,843 $2,127 Cumulative total cash flow -$7,848 -$7,624 -$5,060 $1,949 $4,792 $6,919 k-wacc Enter it from previous tab NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV) PROFITABILITY INDEX (PI) INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (IRR) PAYBACK PERIOD (PP) By inspection Q2a.
