Reference High Oil Price Low Oil Price High Oil and Gas Resource Availability High Economic Growth Low Economic Growth 2025 2030 2035 2040 Introduction: You have recently been hired as a Financial Analyst in the Finance Department of Zeta Auto Corporation which is seeking to expand production. The CFO asks you to help decide whether the firm should set up a new plant to manufacture the roadster model, the Zeta Spenza. Deliverable: Write a report providing the CFO with your recommendation whether Zeta should set up the plant to produce the Spenza's and support your recommendation by in-depth analysis in Excel. In your report, explain the results of each portion of your analysis (represented by the tabs on the Excel template). Submit all the completed Excel worksheets with the completed responses to the questions posed to support your report and recommendation. Provide a one-page Executive Summary summarizing the results of your analysis and recommendation. Steps to Completion: Capital Investment Data To assess the suitability of the project you begin by listing the various cash flows. A consultant has been paid $50,000 to do a market survey. She reports back that Zeta can sell 7,000 Spenza's for $80,000 each in years 1 and 2, and 4,000 Spenza's for $80,000 each in years 3 and 4. The consultant also estimates that the increased sales of the Spenza will cannibalize the sale of an existing model, the Zeta Monza, resulting in 1,000 fewer units of the Monza sold in each of the 4 years. Monza's are priced at $65,000. After 4 years it is expected the Spenza will be phased out, and the plant will be put to other uses generating $15 M annually. However, this decision can be reevaluated at the end of year 3, based on new information which will become at that time. Your consultant has prepared her estimates of what this new information might be. These estimates are given in the attached Excel spreadsheet. The cost of setting up the plant is to be $250 M with annual manufacturing capacity of 10,000 cars. In addition, at the beginning of each year the plant will require the Net Working Capital outlay equal to 5% of direct manufacturing costs (excluding labor and overheads) in the coming year. The NWC outlay will be recovered after 4 years. The CFO provided you with historical information about Monza's cost structure (Excel sheet attached) and noticed that Spenza will have the following differences: Spenza's body will be made from reinforced carbon, which makes the car lighter, thus significantly improving mileage range per battery charge. 80% of the carbon cost is the cost of energy and the estimated carbon cost body per car of $14,000 is based on electricity cost of 7 cents /per kWh, which is the current cost of electricity in Michigan, where the plant will be located. This cost is 70% of the average nationwide retail electricity price. EIA electricity cost projections are provided in the Excel sheet. Battery Pack cost for Spenza is $15,000 per car. Cost of materials for engine and other parts will be identical to Monza's. Labor cost of $4,000 per car is based on annual production of 10,000 Spenza's. Labor is unionized; number of workers and wages do not depend on the number of units produced. Overheads at the new plant will be identical to total overheads at the existing Monza plant. IRS allows you to straight line depreciate the cost of the plant over 4 years for tax purposes (equal depreciation in all years and not an accelerated schedule of depreciation). You have a choice to use 3 year MACRS depreciation schedule (see the Excel sheet attached) If you recommend setting up the plant, you should also consider that the plant will require land which the firm can put to other uses. These alternative uses will earn the firm $15 M annually. Modeling Financial Metrics and Cash Flows Depreciation You have to decide whether Zeta should set up the plant to produce the Spenza's by answering the following series of questions. After having enumerated the various cash flows you are now ready to analyze the project using capital budgeting techniques and project analysis methods. What will be the depreciation for tax purposes from the investment in the Spenza plant using the straight line method? What will be the depreciation using MACRS? Which schedule would you recommend to use? EBIT What will be the costs and revenues for the first four years? What will be the incremental EBIT (Earnings before Interest and Taxes) each year? Interest and Taxes You now have to need to determine interest costs and taxes. Assume that the cost of setting up the plant will be 50% financed by debt with an interest rate of 7%. At this point you are getting closer to the cash flows the project will produce, and need to determine the tax rate. You research tax rates and determine that the appropriate tax rate is 40%. What incremental taxes Zeta will pay if the Spenza plant is set up? Net Income What will be the incremental Net Income for Zeta from the project each year? Incremental OCF Now you can calculate the net increase in cash flows from the project. What will be the incremental OCF (Operating Cash Flow) each year? Free Cash Flow The next step will be calculating FCF taking into account OCF and other incremental cash flows, including opportunity costs! At this point we are still assuming that the project will last only for four years. What will be the FCF (Free Cash Flow) each year? WACC and CAPM The next step will be estimating WACC. Using Yahoo Finance! or other financial sources available on the course website find auto-making industry's beta, market risk premium and the risk free rate. Estimate the WACC using the earlier assumption about the project's financing and the CAPM equation for the cost of equity. Decision Criteria - NPV and IRR Now you are ready to calculate the first criterion that is used to assess projects. What will be the Net Present Value of the project? You should also calculate another widely used criterion. What will be the IRR of the project? Analyzing Risk using Scenario Analysis You consider the electricity cost as one of the major factors affecting your variable costs and would like to perform some additional analysis to check the project's sensitivity to electricity costs. As was mentioned EIA has several electricity cost projections (Excel sheet, tab Energy Prices Forecast). First you decide to see how your recommendations might change under different cost scenarios. Perform scenario analysis on the electricity cost and present the summary of results. Break-even Analysis Next, you would like to find the maximum electricity cost in year 1 at which the project would still be advisable. For simplicity assume 0.5% annual growth of electricity costs. Find the break-even value for the electricity cost in year 1. Monte Carlo Simulation Finally, you would like to perform a Monte Carlo simulation. Possible distribution assumptions are provided in Excel Spreadsheet tab \"Crystal Ball Simulation,\" but you are welcome to make (and explicitly state) your own and used Random Numbers generator in Data Analysis Pack. Based on your analysis, what is the probability that the project will be profitable? [Crystal Ball] You also want to estimate the sensitivity of your project to different factors. Using Crystal Ball, please create a Tornado Diagram and discuss its results
