Subject 2 (25%) Global Wood Transport Co. (GWT) is considering investing on a new machinery aiming to improve the efficiency of its production process and the quality of its products. The marketing department claims that the higher quality of the product will allow the sale of each product unit at a higher price. This positive difference with the old price (the old price being 6/unit) is estimated at 0,50. Marketing department estimates an increase of sales, from 100,000 to 150,000 units for each year. The new investment will require 200,000 while the yearly operating and maintenance expenses are estimated at 10,000. Selling, general and administrative expenses will not change compared to the old situation and they will be at the level of 5 per unit. The new investment will require an extra working capital of 30.000 in the beginning of the investment project and it will be recovered at the end of the useful life of the project, which is estimated at 8 years. The company uses the straight line to depreciate its assets. Tax rate is 22% while the cost of capital of GWT is 8%. Using the above information, you are required to do the following: a.
