Accounting

The Taylor Mountain Uranium Company currently has annual revenues of $1.2 million and annual expenses exclusive of depreciation of $700,000. Depreciation amounts to $200,000 per year. These figures are expected to remain constant for the foreseeable future (at least 15 years). The firms marginal tax rate is 40 percent.

A new high-speed processing unit costing $1.2 million is being considered as a potential investment designed to increase the firms output capacity. This new piece of equipment will have an estimated usable life of 10 years and a $0 estimated salvage value. If the processing unit is bought, Taylors annual revenues are expected to increase to $1.6 million, and annual expenses exclusive of depreciation will increase to $900,000. Annual depreciation will increase to $320,000. Assume that no increase in net working capital will be required as a result of this project.

  1. Calculate the processing units net present value, using a 12 percent required return.
  2. Should Taylor accept the project?
  3. How many internal rates of return does the processing unit project have? Why?
  4. Calculate the processing units internal rate of return.
