nvestment Analysis and Lockheed Tri Star
Investment Analysis and Lockheed Tri Star
The Case is divided into 5 different mini Cases. Each case is about another scenario.
Case 1 is about a company called Rainbow Products. The company considers the purchase of a paint-mixing machine. The machine costs $35.000 but the company expects an annual saving of $5.000 additional cash flow. The machine is expected to last 15 years and the cost of capital is 12 %.
First I would calculate the NPV and the IRR. If the NPV is higher then the return on the capital market, the project is profitable. The IRR shows me the discount rate that puts the NPV to zero. It could also be explained as the break-even point.
Additionally the company could get a “Good As New” service contract for $500 a year. The machine would then produce cash flows of $4,500 per year.
I would again calculate the NPV with the new cash flow. If the NPV is higher then the return on the capital market I would recommend this project.
The last scenario of this case is that the engineers of Rainbow products found a way to enhance the capability of the machine over time. They should reinvest 20 % of the annual cost savings back into new machine parts. The saving rate is 4 %.
There for you should use a formula which is written in the case. After calculating with this formula, you should decide what to do.

Case 2 is about a concession stand that sells hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn and beer. There are three years left on contract with the ballpark but it will probably not be renewed. I have developed 4 proposals to reduce the lines and increase profits.
1. Adding another window
2. Update the equipment
3. Build a new stand
4. Rent a larger stand
All the costs for these 4 proposals are given as well the discount rate of 15 % and the annual cash flow for the next 3 years.
I would calculate the NPV and the IRR (Break-even). This will show me if my project is profitable compared to the return on the capital market and which one of the 4 proposals is

    Concordia Real Estate Inc Case Study: Analysis of the Investment Opportunity

    The resulting NPV indicates that the project should be accepted and the investor should expect a return on equity of 38.87%. The NPV provides the investor with an expectation of what all future cash inflows will be worth in today’s dollars. The profitability index is closely related to the NPV. It evaluates the project’s feasibility based on future cash flows compared to initial costs. In general, a project is deemed a valid investment if this ratio is over 1. For this investment opportunity the profitability index indicates that it should be accepted.…

    BGA1 Task 4

    Net present value (NPV) method is used to decide whether or not a company should take on a new project or acquisition. The formula for NPV is the difference between the present value of a project’s cash inflows and its cash outflows. To calculate the present values the future cash flows are discounted using the time value of money method. For the project to be accepted the NPV should be positive, because it means the return is greater than the required rate of return; or zero, because that means the return is equal to the required rate of return. However, if negative the project should be rejected, because its return is less than the required rate of return. This required rate of return is also referred to as the cost of capital.…

    HCS 405: Simulation Review

    The facility needs to purchase three machines. The machines needed are: an x-ray machine, high-speed CT scanner, and an ultrasound system. There are a few different options when purchasing medical equipment and in this case they are buying new, refurbished, or obtaining an operation or capital lease. The best strategy for obtaining a high-speed CT scanner would be to purchase a refurbished machine. The useful life of this equipment is 10 years. Although the hospital may need to upgrade the technology for the scanner in five years, buying a refurbished scanner is the best option. The hospital can upgrade the equipment again at a later time extending the useful life of this device. This will be recording as an asset but at a lesser value. The loan is also low at a 9% rate. The best option for obtaining an x-ray machine would be to choose a capital lease. The payment values are a higher percentage than if the facility were to choose an operating lease or purchase a refurbished machine. This x-ray machine is expected a useful life of 15 years. Even though the present value is lower, the facility will receive more use out of this equipment. The best option for obtaining an ultrasound machine would be an operating lease. This technology is expensive and will only have a useful life for about five years. The upgrade payment is lower as well as the monthly installment rate. Once the machine is obsolete, the hospital can upgrade the device with this plan. The facility will be paying more but in the grand scheme it will be cheaper with the upgrading options. When choosing the best options for purchasing equipment, it results in lower costs and more profits when thinking future tense. This is true even if the costs were higher at this time. Having the latest technology brings in more profit, saves money in the long run, and provides the best care to…

    Caladonia Products Integrative Problem

    The financial assistant received the important assignment by memorandum from the CEO. The memorandum stated that the company is considering the introduction of a new product (Keown, Martin, Perry, & Scott, 2005). Caradonia is currently at a 34% marginal tax bracket with a 15% required rate of return or cost of capital (Keown, Martin, Perry, & Scott, 2005). The new project is estimated to last five years and then be terminated because of being a fad project (Keown, Martin, Perry, & Scott, 2005). The financial assistant must analyze two mutually exclusive projects. Each project has an 11% rate of return and a life span of five years (Keown, Martin, Perry, & Scott, 2005). The following table (table one) shows the expected cash flows for each project.…

    Mendel Paper Company

    Mendel Paper Company has been doing relatively well with the sales of computer paper, napkins, place mats, and poster board. With more people eating out, the demand for napkins and place mats have increased. Computer paper and poster boards have slowly increased in demand as well. However, there is concern at the company with the fixed cost of operations. Marlene Herbert, the plant superintendent, said, “As we have automated our operation, we have experienced increases in fixed overhead and even variable overhead. And, we will have to add more equipment since it appears that we need even more plant capacity. We are operating over our normal capacity as it is.” (Case 2B). With the new production costs added in, will the Mendel Paper Company have what it takes to succeed?…

    The main purpose of taking on a project is to generate profit for the firm. Therefore the core concern should be if this project will return a profit and when. The clearest way to identify the profit potential is to calculate the breakeven point; this is the point when the firm can expect to start earning a profit. Also in deciding to do this project calculating the various types of cash flow will be helpful in understanding how the project will progress. The Breakeven is usually the single most important deciding factor in determining to implement a project.…

    Worldwide Paper Company Case Write Up

    In the case of Worldwide Paper Company we performed calculations to decide whether they should accept a new project or not. We calculated their net income and their cash flows for this project (See Table 1.6 and 1.5). We computed WPC’s weighted average cost of capital as 9.87%. We then used the cash flows to calculate the company’s NPV. We first calculated the NPV by using the 15% discount rate; by using that number we calculated a negative NPV of $2,162,760. We determined that the discount rate of 15% was out dated and insufficient. To calculate a more accurate NPV for the project, we decided to use the rate of 9.87% that we computed. Using this number we got the NPV of $577,069. With the NPV of $577,069 our conclusion is to accept this project as long as everything stays as it currently is. We recommend that they evaluate themselves at least yearly as things may change from year to year.…

    Wriston Manufacturing Case Writeup

    Selling the plant would cause immediate cash inflow of $4,000,000 and $6,000,000 loss from employee termination. While this does net in a $2,000,000 loss, this option results in the highest net present value for Wriston Manufacturing. In this option the Detroit products are segmented into three groups and redistributed to other factories. Group 1 products are sent to Lancaster, and Group 2 products are sent to Lima, while Group 3 products are terminated. This plan yields a net present value of $24,595 million. We assume that both plants will operate for 20 years and will be sold in their last years of operation. The terminal value of the sale of the Lancaster factory would be $13,568. We take 4,000,000 as the terminal value of the Detroit factory multiplying it by 2 assuming that our factory will be sold in 20 years instead of 77 and that the highest amount of depreciation will occur in the first 50 years. After that we compare all the factories in terms of their capacity with the Detroit factory and calculated the ratio of capacity between the factories. After that we used the discount factor of 0.8 as we assume that a factory twice as big would not cost twice as much. We do the same calculations for the Lima factory, which results in a terminal value of $7,680.…
