Here are project 5 tables
This is project 4 info.
McCormick & Company is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $350 million to build a new plant and purchase equipment. The investment will be depreciated as a modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) seven- year class asset. The new plant will be built on some of the company's land, which has a current, after-tax market value of $14 million. (note, a $350 million investment for a company with $10 billion in assets is significant but not huge. The $4 million investment in Project 4 is trivial and likely not requiring any high level approvals) You have been asked to refine your work to include the correct tax impact of depreciation, and the cash flow impact of working capital on the capital budget evaluation. (We jump right in to the most difficult tax depreciation. Your accountants can help in the real world) The investment will be depreciated as a modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) seven-year class asset. The correct depreciation table is included at the right. The company will need to finance some of the cash to fund $17 million in starting at vear zero. The company plant, equipment and land in year zero. The $17 million for receivables and the $14 million for Inventory are cash outflows. The $15 million for receivables is a cash inflow. Assume that this net working capital is recovered as a cash inflow in year 21. The company still estimates revenues and expenses the same as it did in Project 4. See Table 2 at the right. The company now estimates that it can sell the land in year 21 for $40 million. It will also recover the cash spent on working capital in year 21. Use the WACC that you calculated in the Cost of Capital tab. (Q-6 of the Cost of Capital tab in Project 5) Questions 47 1. What will be the tax depreciation each year? Note; the total deprecation of tax purposes will still be $350 million if your calculations are correct 2. Create an after-tax cash flow timeline similar to the one you did in Project 4. (Project 4 eliminated the relatively easy cash flow time line so this will be your first) 3. Should the Project be accepted? The CFO thinks that the likely NPV and IRR will be close to the numbers that you calculated in Project 4. ( this will be your first calculation of NPV and IRR. These two concepts are VERY important in Finance. You must use the NPV and IRR functions in Excel for this question.) The following questions will be used to estimate risk. Please use Table 3 to calculate cash flow 4. The controller is worried about tax increases and estimates that the tax rate with be raised to 50% (federal and Maryland state) in year 4. Also there is a concern that expenses are understated. He asks, "What would happen to the NPV calculation if the cash tax expenses come in 2% higher than estimated and the tax rate increases to 50% in year 4?" This will allow a subjective evaluation of the project risk. Calculate a new cash flow time line with cash expenses 10% higher than those in Table 2 and with a 50% tax rate. 5. What would be the net present value in this "worst case" cash flow? What will be the IRR? (Use the NPV and IRR function) 93% 5. What would be the net present value in this "worst case" cash flow? What will be the IRR? (Use the NPV and IRR function) 6. Should the project be accepted? Discuss the risk and the reward to McCormick. (this is to see if you can handle decision making under uncertainty. We don't know what will happen in future. Will taxes be raised or not? Will expenses go up or not? Companies must deal with these questions. If you just look at the worst case, not much will happen. We would have no Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Google, Facebook, or Amazon if these innovators had just abandoned their ideas because someone came up with a worst case scenario. 26 Type here to search Table 1 MACRS Depreciation 7 Year class 14.29% $350 Depreciation Year $50.02 $85.72 $61.22 $43.72 24.49% 17.49% 12.49% 7 4 $31.26 8.93% 9. 8.92% 8.93% $31.22 10 $31.26 $15.61 11 4.46% 8. 12 Table 2 13 14 Cash outflow, Cash from After tax Cash Flow In Taxable Income Tax in $Millions 27.5% rate Depreciation in expenses in $Millions $1,728 Revenue in $Millions in $ Millions $Millions $Millions $1,800 $65.95 15 Year $6.05 $21.99 $50.02 16 Capital Budgeting Cost of Capital Instructions 26 O Type here to search 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. $400 $384 20 $16.00 $4.40 $27.60 Table 3 A Tax in $Millions 27.5% rate in Taxable Income years 1, 2, 3 and After tax Cash Flow In 50% there after Cash from Cash outflow, Revenue in expenses in $Millions Depreciation in $Millions B Year $Millions in $ Millions $Millions $1,800 $1,900 $2,000 $2,100 $1,762.56 $1,860.48 $1,958.40 $50.02 $40.90 $52.22 $47.00 $43.70 -$12.57 -$3.46 -$12.70 -$5.40 -$46.20 $85.72 $61.22 $43.72 $31.26 -$19.62 $2,056.32 $2,154.24 $2,252.16 -$0.04 -$0.02 $2,200 $2,300 $2,400 $2,500 $14.50 $7.25 $38.51 $31.22 $16.62 $8.31 $39.53 $31.26 $15.61 $0.00 $18.67 $9.33 $2,350.08 $40.59 $36.39 $18.20 $33.80 $2,448.00 8 $54.08 $27.04 $27.04 $28.08 $27.04 $2,545.92 $2,643.84 $2,545.92 $2,600 $28.08 $0.00 $56.16 $2,700 10 $0.00 $54.08 $27.04 $2,600 11 61 Capital Budgeting Cost of Capital Instructions 92% Type here to search 26 R. 00 670 as P. $27.04 $26.00 $24.96 $22.88 $20.80 $2,600 $2,500 $2,400 $2,200 $2,545.92 $0.00 $54.08 $27.04 11 $2,448.00 $52.00 $26.00 $24.96 12 $2,350.08 $2,154.24 $1,958.40 $49.92 13 $22.88 $20.80 $45.76 $41.60 $37.44 14 $2,000 15 $18.72 $15.60 $18.72 $1,800 $1,762.56 16 $15.60 $1,468.80 $31.20 $24.96 $1,500 17 $12.48 $12.48 $1,175.04 $1,200 18 $8.32 $8.32 $16.64 $783.36 $800 57 58 59 50 61 19 $4.16 $4.16 $8.32 $391.68 $400 20 62 63 64 65 66 Capital Budgeting Cost of Capital Instructions 26 O Type here to search R. H. McCormick & Company is considering building a new factory in Largo, Maryland. James Francis, a landowner, is selling a 4.35-acre parcel of industrial zoned land with a listed sale price of $3,000,000.00 for the land, McCormick & Company is interested in the land and so is another manufacturing company. The competing manufacturing company has made a full offer of $3,000,000.00 for the land. McCormick & Company knows it can make an offer to outbid the competitor to obtain the land, So, McCormick & Company decided to offer $4,424,000.00. 4. 6. 7. Now, the landowner must make a decision between the two competing offers. To make this decision, James should first identify the Future Value (FV) of each offer.

Recognize that Finance Theory tells us to use the WACC for the discount rate for capital budgeting. The past discount rate was 7%. Do you recommend that McCormick change its discount rate. If so what rate do you recommend? If not, why not? Yes I recommend McCormick should change its discount rate from 7% to 9% as market situation changed too much and low discount rate shows higher enterprise value of company which is good for the company but not for investors and stakeholders.
