Coca-Cola is considering jumping on the pomegranate bandwagon by producing Poma-Cola and Pomegranate Sprite carbonated beverages in 2016 (t=1). New production equipment and facilities costing $30 million will be required in 2015 (t =0) and fall into the 5-year straight-line depreciation class. Additional net working capital of $5 million will also be needed in 2015. Here are sales projections for the proposed projects. Year Expected New Pomegranate Sales 2016 $22 million 2017 $30 million 2018 $25 million 2019 $20 million Projected operating costs (other than depreciation) are 73% of sales for the new beverages. However, Coca-cola estimates that projected sales for other carbonated beverages will fall $5 million in 2016, $9 million in 2017, $7 million in 2018, and $4 million in 2019 if they introduce the new beverages. Projected operating costs for these existing beverages are 68% of sales. At the end of 2019, the project will end and the production equipment and facilities could be sold for an estimated $10 million. Coca-Cola’s marginal tax rate is 40% and this is an average risk project for the company giving the project a WACC of 9%.

Please show your answers by calculating them in a spreadsheet.
