With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a “surf lifestyle for the home.” With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent people’s homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 10,200 in the first year, with growth of 7 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require $49,000 in net working capital to start. Total fixed costs are $131,000 per year, variable production costs are $18 per unit, and the units are priced at $60 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $585,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a 5-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The tax rate is 22 percent and the required rate of return is 17 percent. What is the NPV of this project?

They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 7,900 in the first year, with growth of 7 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require $44,000 in net working capital to start. The net working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. Total fixed costs are $104,000 per year, variable production costs are $24 per unit, and the units are priced at $52 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $184,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a five-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The effective tax rate is 35 percent and the required rate of return is 25 percent. What is the NPV of this project?

The estimated investment cost for this project is RM100 million with 3 year project life. Demand for the product, and therefore the project risk, is a function of the demand for Internet connections. The CFO working with marketing, currently estimates a 25% chance that such demand will be high, a 50% probability that demand will be medium, and a 25% probability that demand will be low. Associated after tax cash flows under each of these three market scenarios are estimated as follows: RM70 million, RMS0 million, and RM5 million. For projects of this nature, a 15% discount rate (equal to the firm's weighted average cost of capital) is assumed. Because starting the project immediately on day 1 results in negative NPV of RM0.109 million, management of the company has decided to avoid risk by delaying the implementation of the project for…arrow_forward
