Question

To solve the bid price problem presented in the text, we set the project NPV equal to zero and found the required price using the definition of OCF. Thus the bid price represents a financial break-even level for the project. This type of analysis can be extended to many other types of problems.

      Dahlia Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 128,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you

Explanation / Answer

Initial Inv = 950000 + 83000 = 1,033,000

Annual depreciation = (950,000 - 78,000) / 5 = 174,400

Annaul production cost = FC + VC = 330,000 + 11.10 x 128,000 = 1,750,800

(a) if price = 17.80/carton, annual revenue (cash inflow) = 17.80 x 128,000 = 2,278,400

At year-5, the salvage value and NWC both are recovered, so additional cash inflow at yr 5 = 78,000 + 83,000 = 161,000

Every year,

CFAT = Post-tax cash flow + Depreciation added back = (1 - 0.34) x (2,278,400 - 1,750,800 - 174,400) + 174,400 =  407,512

(b) Unit contribution = unit price - VC = 17.90 - 11.10 = 6.8

So BEP = FC / unti contribution = 333,000 / 6.8 = 48,971 units
