Ch 12: Assignment-Cash Flow Estimation and Risk Analysis 3. Analysis of an expansion project Companies invest in expansion projects with the expectation of increasing the earnings of its business. Consider the case of Yeatman Co.: Yeatman Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs: Year 1 Year 2 Year 4 Unit Sales Year 3 5,000 4,800 5,100 5,120 $24.45 $22.33 $9.45 Sales price Variable cost ger unit Fixed operating costs except depreciation Accelerated depreciation rate $23.45 $10.85 $33,450 $12.00 $23.85 $11.95 $34,950 15% $32,500 33% $34,875 7% 45% This project will require an investment of $15,000 in new equipment. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project's four-year life. Yeatman pays a constant tax rate of 40%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project's net present value (NPV) would be when using accelerated depreciation. (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) $34,355 $49,386 542,944 551,533 Now determine what the project's NPV would be when using straight-line depreciation. (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar) The depreciation method will result in the highest NPV for the project, No other firm would take on this project If Yatman turns it down. How much should Yestman reduce the NPV of this project if it discovered that this project would reduce one of its division's net after tax cash flows by $600 for each year of the four-year project? (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar) $1,112 $1,861 $2,047 $1,582 Yeatman spent $2,750 on a marketing study to estimate the number of units that it can sell each year. What should Yestron do to take this Information into account? Increase the amount of the initial Investment by $2,750 The company does not need to do anything with the cost of the marketing study because the marketing study is a sunk cost. Increase the NPV of the project $2,750
