Thermo Ltd is proposing the construction of a new plant. The company has recently completed a $300,000, two-year feasibility study on this project It estimated that 30,000 units of its new heat pump could be sold annually over the next ten years at a price of $10,000 each. The cost of goods sold is expected to be 50% of total sales per year and fixed costs are estimated to be $90,000,000 per year Thermo needs to build new facilities costing $100,000,000 and the company will spend $30,000,000 buying a suitable piece of land. The $100,000,000 facility will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero salvage value over the ten-year life of the project. At the conclusion of the project the company expects to sell the facilities for an estimated value of $10,000,000 Land value is expected to remain stable over the life of the project. So the company believes it will be able to sell the land at the purchase price. The project will initially require an increase in net working capital of $2 million that will be recovered at the end of the project. Assume all cash flows relating to sales and costs are received or made at the end of each year
Company's required payback is 3 years and required rate of return is 12%. The company tax rate is 30% As a financial manager of the company, you're conducting a capital budgeting analysis of this project. a. Calculate the incremental cash flows for each year (Y to Yo inclusive). (Hint: first calculate the tax effect and then incremental cash flows) (20 marks) b. Calculate the payback period of the project. (Show answer correct to two decimal places.) (4 marks) c. Calculate the net present value of the project. (Show answer correct to the nearer cent.) (6 marks) d. Calculate the present value Index of the project. (Show answer correct to four decimal places.) (3 marks) e. Calculate the discounted payback peribid of the project. (Show answer correct to two decimal places) (5 marks) 1. Calculate the internal rate of return of the project using trial & error and interpolation method. (Show answer correct to four decimal places) (7 marks) 9. Explain under each criteria that you calculated above) and overall if the company should accept this project or not. (5 marks)
