PLEASE HELP FILL IN CHART, I WILL THUMBS UP FOR YOU!
Your family owns a cheese company (CheeseQueen) in Janesville, WI. Its products are sold in southeast Wisconsin. A couple of months ago, your parents were approached by S-Mart (a supermarket chain) with a request to supply cheese for its stores in Madison for the next four years. Your parents are considering building an additional production line to take this offer. They want to conduct a capital budgeting analysis to see whether it is acceptable. You, a student majoring in finance in UW Whitewater, were the first person they think of when they need such help. After you talked to them briefly over the phone, you decided to go back home to meet your parents so that you can collect all relevant information to get it started ASAP.
The information you collected are listed as follow:
To take on this contract, CheeseQueen needs to purchase new equipment at the cost of $460,000. The new equipment will be depreciated using a five-year MACRS schedule. The used equipment can be sold at 20% of its purchase price at the end of year 4.
The new production line would be placed on a farm currently rented by a small business. The rental income is $15,000/year (after tax). If your parents accept the project, they would have to terminate the rental contract. Your parents also have an agreement to sell this farm in five years to a real estate developer for $250,000 (after tax). It means that after this project is completed, your parents have to restore the farm to its original condition. The restoration will happen in year 5, and the cost is $80,000.
The contract calls for delivery of 55,000 pounds of cheese per year at $7 per pound for four years. To utilize the capacity of the new equipment, your parents plan to produce 60,000 pounds, 83,000 pounds, 85,000 pounds, and 74,000 pounds, respectively, over the next four years. The excess production is going to be sold at $9 per pound in retail market.
The estimated variable cost is $2.1 per pound, and the xed cost is $200,000 per year.
CheeseQueens net working capital (NWC) investment is 10% of sales. The NWC will be built up at the beginning of each year. (i.e. NWC needed for year t = 10% of sales of year t)
CheeseQueens tax rate is 30%. Its cost of capital is 10% (discount rate). Assume a loss in any year will result in a tax credit.
