NEW PROJECT ANALYSIS You must analyze a potential new product-a caulking com- pound that Cory Materials' R&D people developed for use in the residential construction industry. Cory's marketing manager thinks the company can sell 115,000 tubes per year at a price of $3.25 each for 3 years, after which the product will be obsolete. The purchase price of the required equipment, including shipping and installation costs, is $175,000, and the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. Current assets (receivables and inventories) would increase by $35,000, while current liabilities (accounts payable and accruals) would rise by $15,000. Variable cost per unit is $1.95, and fixed costs would be $70,000 per year. When production ceases after 3 years, the equip- ment should have a market value of $15,000. Cory's tax rate is 25%, and it uses a 10% WACC for average-risk projects. a. Find the required Year O investment outlay after bonus depreciation is considered and the project's annual cash flows. Then calculate the project's NPV, IRR, MIRR, and pay- back. Assume at this point that the project is of average risk. b. Suppose you now learn that R&D costs for the new product were $30,000 and that those costs were incurred and expensed for tax purposes last year. How would this affect your estimate of NPV and the other profitability measures? c. If the new project would reduce cash flows from Cory's other projects and if the new project would be housed in an empty building that Cory owns and could sell, how would those factors affect the project's NPV? d. Are this project's cash flows likely to be positively or negatively correlated with returns on Cory's other projects and with the economy, and should this matter in your analysis? Explain. e. Spreadsheet assignment: at instructor's option Construct a spreadsheet that calculates the cash flows, NPV, IRR, payback, and MIRR. f. The CEO expressed concern that some of the base-case inputs for the caulking com- pound might be too optimistic or too pessimistic, and he wants to know how the NPV would be affected if these six variables were 20% above or 20% below the base-case levels: unit sales, sales price, variable cost, fixed costs, WACC, and equipment cost. Hold other things constant when you consider each variable and construct a sensitivi- ty graph to illustrate your results. g. Do a scenario analysis based on the assumption that there is a 25% probability that each of the six variables itemized in part f will turn out to have their best-case values as calculated in part f, a 50% probability that all will have their base-case values, and a 25% probability that all will have their worst-case values. The other variables remain at base-case levels. Calculate the expected NPV, the standard deviation of NPV, and the coefficient of variation. h. Does Cory's management use the risk-adjusted discount rate to adjust for project risk? Explain
