What are the project's NPV and IRR (Assume for now that the project has average risk.) 8 You have been asked by the president and CEO of Kidd Pharma- ceuticals to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new labeling ma- chine for one of the firm's production lines. The machine's pric is $50,000, and it would cost another $10,000 for transportation and

Explanation / Answer

1. net investment outlay at year 0 = $50,000+$10,000 = $60,000

2. Projects operating cash flows for 3 years :

= $60,000*0.33*0.40

=$7,920

= $60,000*0.45*0.40

= $10,800

= $60,000*0.15*0.40

= $3,600

3. terminal cash flow at the end of year 3 (post tax) = inflow - taxes = $20000 -{ [$20000 - ($60,000*0.07*)]*40%}

= $20,000 - $6,320 = $13,680

4. Average risk means that we use corporate cost of capital as our discount rate,, thus 10%

if the NPV is positive, the project would be considered as profitable.

NPV of The Project

= $60,000*0.33*0.40

=$7,920

= $60,000*0.45*0.40

= $10,800

= $60,000*0.15*0.40

= $3,600

=$18,846

[Hence its Profitable]

Year Cost savings (A) Depreciation tax shield (B) Total cost savings each year = (A+B) 1 $20,000

= $60,000*0.33*0.40

=$7,920

= $27,920 2 $20,000

= $60,000*0.45*0.40

= $10,800

= $30,800 3 $20,000

= $60,000*0.15*0.40

= $3,600

= $23,600
