Point 1: Polycorp Steel Division is considering a proposal to purchase a new machine to produce a new product for a three-year contract. The new machine will cost $1.83 million. The machine has an estimated life of 3 years for accounting and taxation purposes. Installation will cost a further $90,000. The contract will not continue beyond three years and the equipment has an estimated salvage value at the end of three years of $300,000. The tax rate is 29 percent and is payable in the year in which profit is earned. An investment allowance of twenty percent on the outlay plus installation costs is available. The after-tax cost of capital is 14.1%pa. Addition current assets of $85,000 are required immediately for working capital to support the project. Assume that this amount is recovered in full at the end of the life of the project. The new product will be charged $180,000 of allocated head office administration costs each year even though head office will not actually incur any extra costs or cash flows to manage the project. This is in accordance with the firm's policy of allocating all corporate overhead to divisions. The Division will incur extra marketing and administration cash outflows of $128,000 per year for the project. An amount of $200,000 has been spent on a pilot study and market research for the new product. The projections provided are based on this work. Projected sales in the first year for the new product are 40,000 units at $151 per unit per year. Unit sales are expected to increase by 4%pa for years 2 and 3. Cash operating expenses are estimated to be 75 % of sales (excludes marketing and administration, and head office items). Except for initial outlays, assume cash flows occur at the end of each year (unless otherwise stated). Assume diminishing value depreciation for tax.
