The R&D of the Advanced Electronics, Inc. (AE) designed a product commissioned by the military, but with applications in commercial markets as well. To manufacture and market the product AE needs to build new manufacturing facilities, and will need an initial investment of $8 million. The company expects to sell 5,000 units annually for the next five years at a price of $2,800 per unit. The expected salvage value of the manufacturing facilities at the end of five years is expected to be $1.9 million, and the facility will be depreciated according to a seven-year MACRS property class. The operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $1.1 million per year. The manufacturing cost will be $1,200 per unit, and it does not include depreciation. The combined (federal and state) tax rate for AE is 34%, and this project will not change the company’s current marginal tax rate.
Determine the following for the estimated life of this project (5 years):
(a) The additional taxable income, the income taxes, and the net income generated for AE due to undertaking this project.
(b) Whether the project is worth undertaking at a MARR of 12%?
(c) At what value of MARR the company should be indifferent to undertaking this project?
(d) The value of MARR below which the project will be a worthwhile investment if the initial cost will be $9 million, but AE Inc. manages to fetch a selling price of $3,100 per unit?
