Term Project FNCE-3006EL-12 (Spring 2023) Professor: Homayoon Shalchian (Ph.D) The company Smart Inc. is a company that produces Dog Shampoo in Toronto area. The results of the company, which has been mediocre for the past couple of years, have been presented in the annual financial statement. According to the experts, the loss has been the results of the poor performance of the equipment in the factory. They suggest to the board of directors to replace the old equipment by a new one. Considering following information, the board of directors asks you to evaluate this project for the company. - The new equipment would allow the company to avoid this loss entirely, but there is no projection concerning any profit. The purchase (including the installation) of the new equipment requires an initial investment for an amount of 8000000 . The old equipment can be sold in the beginning of project on the market for 500000S (For simplification, consider this amount as an exchange value). - The new equipment will be sold for 1000000$ in 10 years (end of project). The project also requires major renovations of the factory building for a total amount of 1 000000$ (The amount of major renovations is depreciable with declining method under the tax law). - The company also has to build a new building at the beginning of the project for an amount of 2400000 S which will be sold at the end of the project for 3200000$. This amount is depreciable with declining method. - The project also requires an additional investment in new Computers and furniture for a total amount of 400000$ in the beginning of project. Computers and furniture have no salvage value. - At the present time, Smart Inc. is renting a warehouse for the annual rent of 50000$ (paid at the end of year). If the company undertakes the new project, they will need to cancel the lease of the old warehouse and to rent a larger warehouse for the annual rent of 200000$ (to be paid annually at the end of each year). - The project also requires 5 new technicians today with annual salary of 60000$ for each. - Given the performance of new equipment, Smart Inc could lay off 80 employees whose annual salaries is 40000$. The lay-offs will oblige the company to pay lay-off premiums for the total amount of 10000$ to each employee which will be tax deductible. The corporate tax rate is at 40%.
