Question

show all work please

As the new CEO of Pemrose Corp (Carlton Whitfield), you are announcing a bold new expansion plan. This entails building a new factory. The initial cost is $500 million, it will last 8 years and is depreciated straight-line to a book value of 0. Salvage value of the factory at t = 8 is $100 million. Annual sales and costs will be $300 million and $200 million respectively (in all 8 years). Inventories will rise immediately by $15 million and A/P will rise immediately by $30 million. A/R will rise at the end of the first year by $20 million (t 1). All working capital components return to original values at the end of the project's life. WACC-10% and = 30%. What is the NPV?

Explanation / Answer

WC = CA – CL

WC = CA - CL

At t = 0, WC = 15 – 30 = -15

At t = 1, WC = 20 – 0 = 20

At t = 1, net required WC = -15 + 20 = 5

EBITDA = 300 – 200 = 100; after tax = 100*0.7 = 70

NPV = $18.92 million
