Question

Use the Following information to answer the 4 questions Grant Furniture Co. is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by William Sherman, a recently graduated finance major. The production line would be set in unused space in Crockett's main plant. The machinery's invoice price would be approximately $190,000; another $10,000 in shipping charges would be required; and it would cost an additional $20,000 to install the equipment. Further, Grant's net working capital would have to be increased by $30,000 to handle the new line. the machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and Grant has obtained a special tax ruling, which places the equipment in the MACRS 3-year class (33%, Yr 1; 45%, Yr2; 15%, Yr 3; and 7%, Yr 4). The machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $20,000 after 4 years of use. The new line would generate $125,000 in incremental earnings, before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITD) in each of the next 4 years. The firm's tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital is 12%.

Explanation / Answer

1.

Crockett's net investment outlay for this project is=$190,000+$10,000+$20,000+$30,000=$250,000

2.

The capitalized cost for this project is=$190,000+$10,000+$20,000=$220,000

3.

The net non-operating cash flow at the time the project is terminated is=Working capital+Salvage value after tax

=$30,000+$20,000(1-0.2)=$30,000+$12,000=$42,000

4.

Annual Operating cash flow for year one is:

Particulars Amount EBITD $125,000 Less: Depreciation $72,600 EBIT $52,400 Less:Tax $20,960 EAT $31,440 Add: Depreciation $72,600 Annual Operating cash flow for year one $104,040
