You are a manager at Percolated Fiber, which is considering expanding its operations in synthetic fiber manufacturing. Your boss comes into your office, drops a consultant's report on your desk, and complains, "We owe these consultants $1.9 million for this report, and I am not sure their analysis makes sense. Before we spend the $23.4 million on new equipment needed for this project, look it over and give me your opinion." You open the report and find the following estimates (in millions of dollars):

	Project Year
Earnings Forecast	1	2	. . .	9	10
Sales Revenue	25.000	25.000		25.000	25.000
minusCost of Goods Sold	15.000	15.000		15.000	15.000
equals=Gross Profit	10.000	10.000		10.000	10.000
minusGeneral, Sales and Administrative Expenses	1.872	1.872		1.872	1.872
minusDepreciation	2.340	2.340		2.340	2.340
equals=Net Operating Income	5.788	5.788		5.788	5.788
minusIncome Tax	2.026	2.026		2.026	2.026
equals=Net Income	3.762	3.762		3.762	3.762

All of the estimates in the report seem correct. You note that the consultants used straight-line depreciation for the new equipment that will be purchased today (year 0), which is what the accounting department recommended. They also calculated the depreciation assuming no salvage value for the equipment. The report concludes that because the project will increase earnings by $3.762 million per year for 10 years, the project is worth $37.62 million. You think back to your glory days in finance class and realize there is more work to be done!First, you note that the consultants have not included the fact that the project will require $8.1 million in working capital up front (year 0), which will be fully recovered in year 10. Next, you see they have attributed $1.872 million of selling, general, and administrative expenses to the project, but you know that $0.936 million of this amount is overhead that will be incurred even if the project is not accepted. Finally, you know that accounting earnings are not the right thing to focus on!

a. Given the available information, what are the free cash flows in years 0 through 10 that should be used to evaluate the proposed project?

b. If the cost of capital for this project is 10%, what is your estimate of the value of the new project?

a. Given the available information, what are the free cash flows in years 0 through 10 that should be used to evaluate the proposed project?

The free cash flow for year 0 is

$nothing
