Question

Determining relevant cash flows for a new boat???

Jan and Deana have been dreaming about owning a boat for some time and have decided that estimating its cash flows will help them in their decision process. They expect to have a discretionary annual income of $23,800. Their cash flow estimates for the boat purchase are as? follows:

Negotiated price of the new boat

$69,900

Sales tax rate? (applicable to purchase? price)

6.7%

Boat? trade-in

$0

Estimated value of new boat in 4 years

$40,000

Estimated monthly repair and maintenance

$806

Estimated monthly docking fee

$476

Using these cash flow? estimates, calculate the? following:

a. The initial investment.

round to the nearest dollar (type a negative # to indicate a cash outflow and a positive # to indicate a cash inflow)

b. Operating cash flow.

round to the nearest dollar (type a negative # to indicate a cash outflow and a positive # to indicate a cash inflow)

c. Terminal cash flow.

terminal cash flow = estimated value of new boat in 4 years

$40,000

round to the nearest dollar (type a negative # to indicate a cash outflow and a positive # to indicate a cash inflow)

d. Summary of annual cash flow.? (Note: Assume that Jan and Deana plan on selling the boat in 4? years.)

YEAR 0 cash flow:

YEAR 1 cash flow:

YEAR 2 cash flow:

YEAR 3 cash flow:

YEAR 4 cash flow:

e. Based on their discretionary annual? income, what advice would you give Jan and Deana regarding the proposed boat? purchase?

"We would recommend that Jan and Deana obtain a loan to cover the initial negative cash flow payable in 4? years."

Is the above statement true or? false?

Negotiated price of the new boat

$69,900

Explanation / Answer

a) Initial Investment.......................

Negotiated price of the Boat = $69,900

Add:- Sales Tax = $4,683.30

INITIAL INVESTMENT =$74,583.30

b) Operating cash flow = Annual Income - Annual Repairs&Maintanence - Annual Docking fees

Operating Cash Flow = $23,800 - $(806*12) - $(476*12)

Operating cash flow = $8,416

C) Terminal cash flow = salvage value of machine

Terminal Cash flow = $40000

D) Year 0.........................($74,583.30)

Year 1......................... $8,416.00

Year 2......................... $8,416.00

Year 3......................... $8,416.00

Year 4......................... $48,416.00

NPV = ($919.30)

E) The above ststement is false since the loan will increase the price of boat which will ultimately increase the loss in npv as calculated.
