The equipment is expected to have a salvage value of $130 at the end of 4 years. The new equipment will improve efficiency and result in increased revenue of $330 in its first year of operation, but because of reduced efficiency from normal wear and tear, revenue will decrease by 3% (from the previous year's revenue) for each of the remaining 3 years of the equipment's life. Excluding maintenance, all other costs from operating the equipment will be $210 per year. Maintenance costs will amount to $120 in the equipment's first year of operation, and will then increase by $30 per year for the remaining 3 years of the equipment's life. The equipment will require additional net working capital of $160. The net working capital will be recovered in full after the equipment is sold at the end of its working life. The equipment will be installed in a building that is owned by the company, but currently is not being used. if the project does not proceed, this building could be rented out for $160 per year. A feasibility study has been undertaken into the purchase of the new equipment. The cost of preparing the feasibility study was $400. The company has sufficient capital to undertake all positive-NW projects. if the Payback Period method is used to evaluate projects, management's policy is that the maximum acceptable payback period is 3 years, and all cash flows in Year 0 would need to be recovered within 3 years for the project to be acceptable under this method.

Enter whole numbers only in the "Value" column and base your weights on those whole numbers. Enter numbers in the "Weight" column as percentages rounded to 2 decimal places.

Read all intructions on this page very carefully - don't just collect the requested data. The instructions on this page tell you exactly what to do with the data when completing the other parts of your Assignment. 1. Determine Geelong's tax rate. Go to www.ato.gov.au In the Search box at the top of the screen, enter 'Company tax rates' and click the magnifying glass. You may need to click on more than one link to figure out the appropriate tax rate for Geelong. Enter the company tax rate for this company for the 2019/20 tax year (as a percentage) in the box below. (Hint: Geelong's turnover is over $50 million.) Geelong's tax rate: 30.0% 2. Find the yield on 2-year and 10-year Australian Treasury bonds. Goto www.rba.gov.au Click on "Statistics" near the top of the page, and then, under the subheading "Economic and Financial Statistics", click on "Interest Rates" (Depending on your browser, you may then have to scroll up until you see the Interest Rates section.) Click on the "XLS" link to open the spreadsheet containing "Indicative Mid Rates of Commonwealth Government Securities - F16". This spreadsheet contains daily yield data for Australian Treasury bonds on issue on a given date. Each column conains yields for a specific bond. Each row contains the yields for each bond for a given date - the date shown in Column A. Scroll down to find the yields on 24 August 2020. Row 3 of the RBA spreadsheet contains the maturity date of each bond. Search along Row 3 to find the column containing the bond that is closest to maturing 10 years from 24 August 2020. If you find that the date that is 10 years from 24 August 2020 falls between two maturity dates (which it almost certainly will), make sure you select the bond that will have MOST RECENTLY MATURED on that date - not the one that will next mature after that date. Make sure you are looking up yields for "Treasury Bonds", as specified in Row 2. If the entry in Row 2 says "Treasury Indexed Bonds", you have gone too far. Then go down that column to find the yield as at 24 August 2020. The value you see is the yield on 10-year Australian Treasury bonds on 24 August 2020, which we will use as the risk-free rate in the Capital Asset Pricing Model in Part 1 of the Assignment. Enter the 10-year risk-free rate in the box below (as a percentage to 3 decimal places). 10-year risk-free rate: 85.500% Search along Row 3 of the RBA spreadsheet to find the column containing the bond that is closest to maturing 2 years from 24 August 2020 Again, if the date that is 2 years from 24 August 2020 falls between two maturity dates, select the bond that will have most recently matured on that date - not the bond that will next mature after that date. Then go down that column to find the yield for that bond as at 24 August 2020. In Part 1 you will add the credit spread for Geelong's bonds to the 2-year risk-free rate to determine the before-tax cost of the company's bonds. Enter the 2-year risk-free rate in the box below (as a percentage to 3 decimal places). 2-year risk-free rate: 26.500%
