Consider a project to supply 120 million postage stamps per year to the U.S. Postal Service for the next five years. You have an idle parcel of land available that cost $2,100,000 five years ago; if the land were sold today, it would net you $2,300,000 aftertax. The land can be sold for $2,500,000 after taxes in five years. You will need to install $5.6 million in new manufacturing plant and equipment to actually produce the stamps; this plant and equipment will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s five-year life. The equipment can be sold for $700,000 at the end of the project. You will also need $800,000 in initial net working capital for the project, and an additional investment of $70,000 in every year thereafter. Your production costs are .70 cents per stamp, and you have fixed costs of $1,010,000 per year. If your tax rate is 30 percent and your required return on this project is 10 percent, what bid price should you submit on the contract?
