PROBLEM 1

Lamar Company is considering a project that would have an eight-year life and require a $2,400,000 investment in
equipment. At the end of eight years, the project would terminate and the equipment would have no salvage value. The
project would provide net operating income each year as follows:

Sales $3,000,000
Variable expenses 1,800,000
Contribution margin 1,200,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $700,000
Depreciation 300,000
Total fixed expenses 1,000,000
Net operating income $200,000

The company’s discount rate is 12%.

Required:
1. Compute the annual net cash inflow from the project.
2. Compute the project’s net present value. Is the project acceptable?
3. Compute the project’s payback period.
4. Compute the project’s simple rate of return. (Formula: Annual incremental net operating income / Initial investment)

PROBLEM 2
You must analyze two projects, X and Y. Each project costs $10,000 and the firm’s WACC is 12%. The expected cash flows
are as follows:
0 1 2 3 4

Project X - $10,000 $6,500 $3,000 $3,000 $1,000


Project Y - $10,000 $3,500 $3,500 $3,500 $3,500
Required:
1. Calculate the each project’s NPV, IRR, payback and discounted payback.
2. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent?
3. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive?

PROBLEM 3
Wisconsin Dairy Inc. is deciding on its capital budget of the upcoming year. Among the projects being considered are two
machines, W and WW. W costs $500,000 and will produce expected after-tax cash flows of $300,000 during the next 2
years. WW also costs $500,000, but it will produce after-tax cash flows of $165,000 during the next 4 years. Both projects
have a 10% WACC.

Required: Use NPV to answer the questions.


1. If the projects are independent and not repeatable, which project or projects should the company accept?
2. If the projects are mutually exclusive but are not repeatable, which project should the company accept?
