XYZ operates a chain of bakeries and is considering the sprinkle cookie project, which would involve selling sprinkle cookies for 1 year. The firm expects sales of sprinkle cookies to be $140,000 and associated costs from flour, butter, sugar, etc. used to make sprinkle cookies to be $68,000. The firm believes that sales of frosted cookies, a type of cookie that is currently offered by the firm, would be $30,000 less with the addition of sprinkle cookies, and that costs associated with frosted cookies would be $16,000 less with the addition of sprinkle cookies. Finally, XYZ believes that sprinkle cookies would increase traffic to its bakeries, which would increase expected sales of bread, cakes, and other items by $20,000 more than it would be without the addition of sprinkle cookies, and increase costs of bread, cakes, and other items by $14,000 more than it would be without the addition of sprinkle cookies. What is the relevant net income in year 1 that XYZ should use to analyze the sprinkle cookie project? The tax rate is 50 percent, the cost of capital is 3.6 percent, and there is no relevant depreciation.

		$36,000 (plus or minus $10)
		$46,000 (plus or minus $10)
		$26,000 (plus or minus $10)
		$32,000 (plus or minus $10)
		None of the above is within $10 of the correct answer

What is the NPV of the new machine project? The project would require an initial investment in equipment of $67,000 and would last for either 3 years or in 4 years (the date when the project ends will not be known until it happens and that will be when the equipment stops working in either 3 years from today or 4 years from today). Annual operating cash flows of $21,000 per year are expected each year until the project ends in either 3 years or 4 years. In 1 year, the project is expected to have an after-tax terminal value of $48,000. The cost of capital for this project is 15.4 percent.
