Suppose you have been hired as a financial consultant to Defense Electronics, Inc. (DEI), a large, publicly traded firm that is the market share leader in radar detection systems (RDSs). The company is looking at setting up a manufacturing plant overseas to produce a new line of RDSs. This will be a five-year project. The company bought some land three years ago for $4.5 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic dump site for waste chemicals, but it built a piping system to safely discard the chemicals instead. If the land were sold today, the net proceeds would be $5 million after taxes. In five years, the land will be worth $5.3 million after taxes. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $15 million to build. The following market data on DEIs securities are current:

Debt:	40,000 6.2 percent coupon bonds outstanding, 25 years to maturity, selling for 95 percent of par; the bonds have a $1,000 par value each and make semiannual payments.
Common stock:	825,000 shares outstanding, selling for $97 per share; the beta is 1.15.
Preferred stock:	45,000 shares of 5.8 percent preferred stock outstanding, selling for $95 per share.
Market:	7 percent expected market risk premium; 3.8 percent risk-free rate.

DEIs tax rate is 34 percent. The project requires $825,000 in initial net working capital investment to get operational.

Requirement 1:

Calculate the projects Time 0 cash flow, taking into account all side effects. Assume that any NWC raised does not require floatation costs. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).)

Requirement 2:

The new RDS project is somewhat riskier than a typical project for DEI, primarily because the plant is being located overseas. Management has told you to use an adjustment factor of +2 percent to account for this increased riskiness. Calculate the appropriate discount rate to use when evaluating DEIs project. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Requirement 3:

The manufacturing plant has an eight-year tax life, and DEI uses straightline depreciation. At the end of the project (i.e., the end of year 5), the plant can be scrapped for $2.1 million. What is the aftertax salvage value of this manufacturing plant? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).)

Requirement 4:

The company will incur $3,500,000 in annual fixed costs. The plan is to manufacture 12,000 RDSs per year and sell them at $10,800 per machine; the variable production costs are $9,900 per RDS. What is the annual operating cash flow, OCF, from this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).)
