Question

Suppose BearKat Enterprises is considering a project where they will make Espresso coffee makers. They can buy the equipment they need to make the coffee makers for $500,000 plus another $40,000 for training and installation. They will have to increase inventory by $50,000 however, accounts payable will increase $20,000. They think they can sell 7,000 coffee makers a year at a price of $65 each. The estimate variable costs at 40% of revenue. They follow a four yeas MACRS schedule for depreciation with the following depreciation rates: Year 1: 33% Year 2: 45% Year 3: 15% Year 4: 7% They believe the equipment has a salvage value of $10,000. BearKat Enterprises has a tax rate of 34%. What are the year 0 cash flows?

Explanation / Answer

The Year 0 cash flows = Cost of equipment + Training and installation + Working capital

= $500,000 + $40,000 + $50,000 - $20,000

=$570,000

Cash ouflow in year 0 = $570,000
