Cash = $3,000,000

Accounts Receivable = $24,000,000

Inventories = $55,000,000

Net Fixed Assets = $173,000,000

Total Assets = $255,000,000

Accounts Payable and Accruals = $14,000,000

Notes Payable = $29,356,200

Long-Term Debt (Bonds) = $52,243,800

Preferred Stock = $9,400,000

Common Stock (Equity) = $150,000,000

Total Liabilities & Owners Equity = 255,000,000

Last year’s sales were $210,000,000.

The company has 60,000 bonds with a 30-year life outstanding, with 15 years until maturity. The bonds carry a 9 percent semi-annual coupon, and are currently selling for $870.73.

You also have 100,000 shares of perpetual preferred stock outstanding, which pays a dividend of $7.80 per share. The current market price is $94.00.

The company has 10 million shares of common stock outstanding with a current price of $15.00 per share. The stock exhibits a constant growth rate of 8 percent. The last dividend (D0) was $.90.

Your firm does not use notes payable for long-term financing.

The firm’s target capital structure is 25% debt, 5% preferred stock, and 70% common equity. The firm does not plan to issue new common stock.

Your firm’s federal + state marginal tax rate is 38%.

The firm has the following investment opportunities currently available in addition to the venture that you are proposing:

All projects, including Project I - are assumed to be of average risk.

You estimate that your product will have a six-year life span, and the equipment used to manufacture the project falls into the MACRS 5-year class. The resulting MACRS depreciation percentages for years 1 through 6, respectively, are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. Your venture would require a capital investment of $17,000,000 in equipment, plus $1,000,000 in installation costs.

The venture would also result in an increase in accounts receivable and inventories of $3,000,000. This means there is a change in NWC (cash outflow) at the start of the project. The NWC ($ 3,000,000) will be released as a cash inflow in Year 6.

At the end of the six-year life span of the venture, you estimate that the equipment could be sold at a $5,000,000 salvage value. Your venture would incur fixed costs of $1,000,000 per year, while the variable costs of the venture would equal 30 percent of revenues. You are projecting that revenues generated by the project would equal $6,000,000 in year 1, $14,000,000 in year 2, $15,000,000 in year 3, $16,000,000 in year 4, $11,000,000 in year 5, and $8,000,000 in year 6.

Need Answers for Below:

6. Draw a timeline that summarizes all of the cash flows for your venture.

7. Compute the IRR, payback, discounted payback, and NPV for Project I.
