The business case team had compiled the following baseline information surrounding the Sneaker 2013 project:

1.The life of the Sneaker 2013project was expected to be six years. Assume the analysis took place at the end of 2012.

2.The suggested retail price of the shoe was $190. Gross margins for high-end athletic footwear averaged about 60% at the retail level, meaning each pair sold would net New Balance $115.

3.The global athletic footwear marketing 2011 totaled approximately $74.5 billion and was expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.8% from 2011 to 2018,reaching $84.4 billion by 2018.3 Based on market research and analysis of other recent athlete endorsements, the New Balance marketing division estimated the following sales volumes for Sneaker 2013:

Year: 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

Pairs sold (millions) 1.2 1.6 1.4 2.4 1.8 0.9

The 2016 number assumed Kirani James participated in the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and won at least one medal

4.For the first two years, the introduction of Sneaker 2013 would reduce gross profit of existing New Balance shoes as follows:

Lost sales: 2013: $35 million 2014: $15 million

Assume the lost revenue had the same margins as Sneaker 2013.

5.In order to produce the shoe, the firm needed to build a factory in Vietnam. This required an immediate outlay of $150 million, to be depreciated on a 39-year MACRS5basis. Depreciation percentages for the first six years respectively were: 2.6%, 5%, 4.7%, 4.5%, 4.3%, and 4.0%. The firms analysts estimated the building would be sold for $102 million at project termination. This salvage value has not been taken into consideration when computing annual depreciation charges

6.The company must immediately purchase equipment costing $15 million. Freight and installation of the equipment would cost $5 million. The cost of equipment and freight/installation was to be depreciated on a five-year MACRS basis. Depreciation percentages for the six years respectively were: 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. It was believed the equipment could be sold for $3 million upon project termination

7.In order to manufacture Sneaker 2013, two of the firms working capital accounts were expected to increase immediately. Approximately $15 million of inventory would be needed quickly to fill the supply chain, and accounts payable were expected to increase by $5 million. By the end of 2013, the accounts receivable balance would be 8% of project net revenue; the inventory balance would be 25% of the projects variable costs; and accounts payable would be 20% of the projects variable costs. All working capital would be recovered at the end of the project by the end of the sixth year.

8.Variable costs were expected to be 55% of net revenue.

9.Selling, general, and administrative expenses were expected to be $7 million per year.

10.Kirani James would be paid $2 million per year for his endorsement of Sneaker 2013, withan additional $1 million Olympic bonus in 2016.

11.Other advertising and promotion costs were estimated as follows:

Year 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

A&P Expense (millions) $25 $15 $10 $30 $25 $15

12.New Balance had already spent $2 million in research and development on Sneaker 2013.

13.The Sneaker 2013project was to be financed using a combination of equity and debt. The interest costs on the debt were expected to be approximately $1.2 million per year. The New Balance discount rate for new projects such as this was 11%

14.New Balances effective tax rate was 40%
