I need help on the data tables and the scenario manager sections. Thanks

Mini Case 2 Situation Shrieves Casting Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by Sidney Johnson, a recently graduated MBA. The production line would be set up in unused space in Shrieves' main plant. The machinery's invoice price would be approximately $250,000, another $25,000 in shipping charges would be required, and it would cost an additional $20,000 to install the equipment. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and Shrieves has obtained a special tax ruling that places the equipment in the MACRS 3-year class. The machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $35,000 after 4 years of use. The new line would generate incremental sales of 1,500 units per year for 4 years at an incremental cost of $140 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. Each unit can be sold for $250 in the first year. The sales price and cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm's net operating working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 12% of next year's sales revenues. The firm's tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital is 10%. a. Define \"incremental cash flow.\" Incremental cash flow is the firm's project's cash flow minus the firm's cash flow without the project. (1.) Should you subtract interest expense or dividends when calculating project cash flow? No, we discount the project's cash flows with a cost of capital that is the rate of return that is required by all investors, so we should discount the total amount of cash flows available to all investors. They are part of the cost of capital. If we were to subtract them from cash flows we would be double counting capital costs. (2.) Suppose the firm had spent $100,000 last year to rehabilitate the production line site. Should this be included in the analysis? Explain. That cost the firm would spend be spent last year and wouldmost likely be used for tax purpose. It should not be included in the analysis because it is a sunk cost. (3.) Now assume that the plant space could be leased out to another firm at $25,000 per year. Should this be considered in the analysis? If so, how? included in the analysis? If so, how? If the plant space isn't leased out then the firm would lose $25,000 in annual cash flows. This represents an opportunity cost for the project and hence be included in the analysis. If the plant space isn't leased out then the firm would lose $25,000 in annual cash flows. This represents an opportunity cost for the project and hence be included in the analysis. (4.) Finally, assume that the new product line is expected to decrease sales of the firm's other lines by $50,000 per year. Should this be considered in the analysis? If so, how? This would be considered an extranality which should be considered in the analysis. If the firm's sales are reduced by 50,000 then the loss would be a cost to the project.

Why is it important to include inflation when estimating cash flows? It is important to include inflation when estimating cash flows because the cost of capital includes a premium for inflation because it is a nominal cost. It is larger than the real cost of capital.

Calculate the net cash flows for each year. Based on these cash flows, what are the project's NPV, IRR, MIRR, and payback? Do these indicators suggest the project should be undertaken?

For example, if there were a high probability that the expected NPV as calculated above will actually turn out to be negative, then the project would be classified as relatively risky. The reason for a worse-than-expected outcome is, typically, because sales were lower than expected, costs were higher than expected, and/or the project turned out to have a higher than expected initial cost. In other words, if the assumed inputs turn out to be worse than expected then the output will likewise be worse than expected. We use Excel to examine the project's sensitivity to changes in the input variables. h. (1.) What are the three types of risk that are relevant in capital budgeting? The three types of risk are stand-alone risk, within-firm risk, and market risk. (2.) How is each of these risk types measured, and how do they relate to one another? Stand alone risk is measured by the project's standard deviation of NPV or can also be measured by it's coefficient of variation of NPV. Within-firm risk is measured by the project's beta, which is the slope of the regression line formed by plotting the returns on the prjoect versus the returns of the firm overall. Market risk is measured by the project's market beta, which is the slope of the regression line formed by plotting the overall returns on the project versus the overall returns on the market. (3.) How is each type of risk used in the capital budgeting process? The most important is market risk because it pertains to shareholder's wealth. The total risk affects creditors, customers, suppliers and employees. Stand-alone risk is usually highly dependant with its within-firm risk which inturn is likely to be very dependent on its market risk. Evaluating Risk: Sensitivity Analysis Sensitivity of NPV and to Variations in Input Variables i. (1.) What is sensitivity analysis? Sensitivity Analysis measures the effect of changes in a particular variable on a project's net present value. Sensitivity Analysis measures the effect of changes in a particular variable on a project's net present value. (2.) Perform a sensitivity analysis on the unit sales, salvage value, and cost of capital for the project. Assume that each of these variables can vary from its base-case, or expected, value by plus and minus 10%, 20%, and 30%. Include a sensitivity diagram, and discuss the results. Here we use an Excel "Data Table" to find the NPVs for changes in unit sales, salvage value, and WACC holding other things constant--changing one variable at a time. This produces the sensitivity analys as shown below. We summarize the data tables and show the sensitivity analysis graph below: % Deviation from Base Case -30% -15% 0% 15% 30% WACC WACC 7.0% 8.5% 10.0% 11.5% 13.0% % Deviation 1st YEAR UNIT SALES % Deviation SALVAGE NPV from Units NPV from Variable NPV 129,751 Base Case Sold Base Case Cost 129,751 Evaluating Risk: Sensitivity Analysis NPV ($) Sensitivity Analysis 12 Units Sold 10 8 Salvage Value 6 4 WACC 2 0 -40% -30% -20% -10% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% Deviation from Base-Case Value Deviation from Base Case -30% -15% 0% 15% 30% NPV Deviation from Base Case Units WACC Sold Salvage Range (3.) What is the primary weakness of sensitivity analysis? What is its primary usefulness? The primary weakness of sensitivity analysis is that it does not reflect the effects of diversification. A sensitivity analysis might indicate that a project's NPV is very dependant on sales, this would actually not contribute much to a project's risk. It's primary usefulness is that it identifies the variables that have the greatest impact on the profit, which helps drive management's attention to things that are important. j. Assume that Sidney Johnson is confident of her estimates of all the variables that affect the project's cash flows except unit sales and sales price: If product acceptance is poor, unit sales would be only 1000 units a year and the unit price would only be $200; a strong consumer response would produce sales of 1,800 units and a unit price of $280. Sidney believes that there is a 25% chance of poor acceptance, a 25% chance of excellent acceptance, and a 50% chance of average acceptance (the base case). j.

Sidney believes that there is a 25% chance of poor acceptance, a 25% chance of excellent acceptance, and a 50% chance of average acceptance (the base case). (1.) What is scenario analysis? Scenario Analysis examines several possible situations that include worst case, most likely, and best case which in turn provides a range of possible outcomes. (2.) What is the worst-case NPV? The best-case NPV? Work the table below. (3.) Use the worst-, most likely, and best-case NPVs and probabilities of occurrence to find the project's expected NPV, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. Work the table below. Evaluating Risk: Scenario Analysis We could find the NPV by entering the value of unit sales and price for each scenario and then recording the NPV (this is what we did for the table below). Alternatively, we could use Tools, Scenarios to define the inputs for each scenario, which we did and show in the Scenario Summary Tab below. In fact, please use scenario manage to create 3 cases and copy paste only value in the table below. This is a powerful feature of Excel, and we encourage you to explore it.

(1.) Assume that Shrieves' average project has a coefficient of variation in the range of 0.2 to 0.4. Would the new line be classified as high risk, average risk, or low risk? What type of risk is being measured here? (2.) Shrieves typically adds or subtracts 3 percentage points to the overall cost of capital to adjust for risk. Should the new line be accepted? (2.) Shrieves typically adds or subtracts 3 percentage points to the overall cost of capital to adjust for risk. Should the new line be accepted? The CV of this project is 1.51, which is larger than the CV range of the firm's average project. Consequently, this project is riskier than the firm's average project, so management should add 3% to the WACC to risk adjust. Cost of capital for average projects: Adjustment for risky projects: Risk adjusted cost of capital: NPV with risk-adjusted cost of: capital (3.)
