- A Company is seeking financial advice as to whether to replace its old equipment. Some of its printing machines have reached the end of their useful working life and they are considering whether to replace them with the latest computer-based equipment. Such equipment will be costly, but the firm expects to be able to reduce its staffing levels to compensate. There are two options currently under review. Under the first option, the firm will purchase a standard piece of equipment at a cost of £10,000 payable now. Over the next five years, however, the firm expects to be able to reduce its staffing costs by £3,500 per year, in the first three years, and then by £3,000 in year 4 and £2,500 in year 5. At the end of the five years, the equipment would have reached the end of its life and would need replacing. Under the second option, the firm would purchase a slightly more sophisticated piece of equipment for an initial cost of £12,000.

If they launch the product, they will use an existing facility in the production process, which they previously acquired for $4 million. They currently lease it to a third party, and they expect to continue to do so if they don't use it for the new product. They rent it out for $102,000 and they expect that to remain flat for the foreseeable future. The project requires immediate investment in CAPX of $1.3 million, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years for tax purposes. The project will end after eight years, at which time they expect to salvage some of the initital CAPX and sell it for $469,000. The project requires immediate working capital investments equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. After that, working capital will remain at 10% of the following year's expected sales. They expect sales to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years. Total…

The company must now decide whether to sell the patent (an exclusive rights for a set period of time) for the new drug, or to produce the drug itself. Axgol has received an offer from an international pharmaceutical company of £25m for the drug patent which is receivable immediately. However, Axgol has the capacity to produce and sell the drug itself. The marketing department believes that the drug can be sold for £4.80 per dose and it is expected that 10,000,000 boxes can be produced and sold each year for the four years of its expected life. The variable costs per dose are expected to be £2.00 and the fixed costs [excluding depreciation] are expected to be £36m per annum. Three quarters of these fixed costs are head office costs and have been apportioned to the new product and represent a ‘fair share’ of the fixed costs relating to the business as a whole.

- B&G Co. is planning a project in France. It would lease space for one year in a shopping mall to sell expensive clothes manufactured in the U.S. The project would end in one year, when all earnings would be remitted to B&G Co. Assume that no additional corporate taxes are incurred beyond those imposed by the French government. Since B&G Co. would rent space, it would not have any long-term assets in France, and expects the salvage (terminal) value of the project to be about zero. Assume that the project’s required rate of return is 25 percent. Also assume that the initial outlay required by the parent to fill the store with clothes is $320,000. The pretax earnings are expected to the €650,000 at the end of one year. The euro is expected to be worth $1.21 at the end of one year, when the after-tax earnings are converted to dollars and remitted to the United States. The following forms of country risk, which are independent, must be considered: * The French economy may weaken…Dune Ltd is considering a project that will require the use of a crane that cost £600,000 when it was acquired four years ago and which has a current carrying amount (statement of financial position value) of £370,000.

- Giangelo Corporation would like to venture in manufacturing a specialized tool that is required by a semi-conductor company. In order to accomplish this, it is considering two options that both require raising large amount of funds. First option (Project X) is the construction of a factory building and acquisition of machineries for an estimated cost of P30 million. The other alternative (Project Y) is the acquisition of an existing company that manufactures the same tool at a price of P50 million. In order to fund the project, the Company will have to apply for a loan from a bank and issue shares of stocks. The management contemplated a more leveraged approach by availing the 70% of the financial requirements through loan borrowing and the rest from the issuance of shares. The interest on bank loan is at 11% per annum while the issuance of shares will require return to stockholders at 8% per annum. The applicable income tax rate is 25%. Both of the projects will have estimated life of…Space View Ltd. is a listed company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) that produces lenses and other optical equipment for a variety of telescopes. The company uses an outdated curve generator which it is determined to replace for strategic reasons, including that a more modern model that will enable them to manufacture a wider variety of lenses and reduce wastage. The current machine could be sold for R50 000 after originally having cost R500 000 and has a current book value of R0. It is estimated that the machine could have been sold for R10 000 if it was used for the coming five years. The company also expects to have to increase their outlay for working capital by R100 000 which will be recouped at the end of the project to the value of R100 000 (in nominal terms at the end of the 5 years). It is expected that the curve generator will generate the following sales for the company: Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 0 R900 000 R550 000 R400 000…A decision has to be taken by a firm whether or not to initiate manufacture of a new product called Sony.
