Cash Flow Estimation Problem Set Question 1

MultiAlpha is considering replacing an old machine with a new one. Two months ago their chief engineer completed a training workshop on the new machines operation and efficiency. The cost of RM4000 cost for this workshop session has already been paid. If the new machine is purchased, it would require RM5000 in installation and modification costs to make it suitable for operation in the factory. The old machine originally cost RM90000 five years ago and is being depreciated by RM15000 per year. The new machine will cost RM80000 before installation and modification. It will be depreciated by RM5000 per year. The old machine can be sold today for RM10000. The marginal tax rate for the firm is 28%. Compute the relevant initial outlay in this capital budgeting decision. Suggested Solutions: RM73600 Initial Investment (Cash Outflow) Y0 RM Price of Equipment 80000 ADD: Cost of Training 0 Shipping costs 0 Modification costs 0 Installation 5000 Initial Outlay 85000 Less: Cash Inflow Upon Sale of (10000) Existing Machine Tax Saving on Disposal of (1400) Existing Machine Net Cash Flow for Investment 73600 Remark

Question 2
Canggih Sdn. Bhd. is considering a new product. The company currently manufactures several lines of school uniform. The new product, Canggih Jean, is expected to generate sales of RM1.0 million per year for the next 5 years. They expected that during this five-year period, they will lose about RM250000 in sales of existing line of jean. The new line will require no additional equipment or space in the plant and can be produced in the same manner as the apparel products. The new project will, however, require that the company spend an additional RM80000 per year on insurance for raw materials. Also an additional marketing manager would be hired to oversee the line at a salary of RM45000 per year in salary and benefits, in additional to the current manager who is earning RM60000 per year in salary and benefits. Depreciation of RM100000 of existing plant and machinery is expected to remain the same. If the marginal tax rate is 28%, compute the incremental after tax cash flow for years 1-5.

Suggested Solutions: RM450000 per year Yearly Cash Inflow Revenue Operating Expenses: Additional Insurance New Marketing Manager Lost in Current Sale (Opportunity Costs) Depreciation (non-relevant costs) Net Profit Before Tax (Tax Payable) / Tax Saving 28% Profit After Tax Add: Depreciation Net Cash Flow Y1 1000000 (80000) (45000) (250000) 625000 (175000) 450000 450000 Y2 1000000 (80000) (45000) (250000) 625000 (175000) 450000 450000 Y3 1000000 (80000) (45000) (250000) 625000 (175000) 450000 450000 Y4 1000000 (80000) (45000) (250000) 625000 (175000) 450000 450000 Y5 1000000 (80000) (45000) (250000) 625000 (175000) 450000 450000

Question 3
A machine was purchases 10 years ago at a cost of RM15000. The expected life of the machine was 15 years. Its salvage value was and is still zero. The machine is depreciated using the straight-line basis. A new machine can be purchased for RM24000, which will result in cost savings for the firm of RM6000 per annum over the 5 year useful life. The new machine can be sold for RM4000 in 5 years time. The old machines market value is RM2000, which is below its RM5000 book value. If the n ew machine is purchased, the existing one will be sold immediately. The tax rate is 28%. Net working capital requirements will increase by RM2000 at the time of replacement. The new machine falls into the 3-year MACRS class (Depreciation in Year 1 33%; Year 2 45%; Year 3 15%; and, Year 4 - 7% on costs). The cost of capital is 12%. Determine the NPV of the replacement decision.

Question 4
Bina Mahjaya Sdn. Bhd. is a medium-sized manufacturing company that plans to increase capacity by purchasing new machinery at an initial cost of RM3m. The following are the most recent financial statements of the company: Profit and Loss Accounts for years ending 31 December 2002 RM000 Sales Production Costs Gross Profit Administration and Distribution Expenses Profit before Interest and Tax Interest Profit before Tax Tax Profit after Tax Dividends Retained Earnings 5,000 3,100 1,900 400 1,500 400 1,100 330 770 390 380 2001 RM000 5,000 3,000 2,000 250 1,750 380 1,370 400 970 390 580

The investment is expected to increase annual sales by 5,500 units. Investment in replacement machinery would be needed after five years. Financial data on the additional units to be sold is as follows: RM 500 200

Selling price per unit Production costs per unit

Variable administration and distribution expenses are expected to increase by RM220,000 per year as a result of the increase in capacity. In addition to the initial investment in new machinery, RM400,000 would need to be invested in working capital. The investment on working capital is released at the end of year 5. The full amount of the initial investment in new machinery of RM3 million will give rise to capital allowances on a 25% per year reducing balance basis. The tax benefit is as follows:

Year Capital Allowance Tax Benefits (Saving)

1 RM000 750 225

2 RM000 563 169

3 RM000 422 127

4 RM000 316 95

5 RM000 949 284

The scrap value of the machinery after five years is expected to be negligible. Tax liabilities are paid in the year in which they arise and Bina Mahjaya Sdn. Bhd. pays tax at 30% of annual profits. The Finance Director of Bina Mahjaya Sdn. Bhd. has proposed that the RM34 million investment should be financed by an issue of debentures at a fixed rate of 8% per year. Bina Mahjaya Sdn. Bhd. uses an after tax discount rate of 12% to evaluate investment proposals. In preparing its financial statements, Bina Mahjaya Sdn. Bhd. uses straight-line depreciation over the expected life of fixed assets. Required: Calculate the net present value of the proposed investment in increased capacity of Bina Mahjaya Sdn. Bhd. , clearly stating any assumptions that you make in your calculations.

Question 5
You buy a transporter for $50 million. It will cost another $5 million to install. You will depreciate it over 10 years, (10% each year). You expect to make $15 million each year in revenues. Operating costs will be $2 million each year. Increase in working capital is expected to be $30 million which will be reversed at the end of 10 years when you get out of the transporting business. At the end of 10 years, the transporter will be salvaged for $10 million. You are in the 30% tax bracket. 1. What is your initial outlay? 2. What is your net income for the first nine years? 3. What is your operating cash flow each year? 4. What is your terminal cash flow at the end of year 10? Do not include the operating cash flow. ( 4 marks) Soln: 1. 50 + 5 + 30.= $85 milliom 2. Operating income $15 $2 = $13 depreciation (10% of 55 = 5.5) = $7.5 million before tax. $7.5(1-.3) = $5.25 million after tax. 3. Operating cash flow is 5.25 + 5.5(depreciation) = $10.25 million. 4. Sell for $10 million, book value is zero at this time so you have a gain of $10 million minus $3 million in taxes for $7 million. Add back working capital of $30 million (no longer will need it so working capital is now reduced by $30 million) so terminal cash flow is $37 million.

Question 6: New project NPV

i. Blair Bookstores is thinking about expanding its facilities. In considering the expansion, Blairs finance staff has obtained the following information: The expansion will require the company to purchase today (t = 0) $5 million of equipment. The equipment will be depreciated over the following four years at the following rate: Year 1: Year 2: Year 3: Year 4: 33% 45 15 7

The expansion will require the company to increase its net operating working capital by $500,000 today (t = 0). This net operating working capital will be recovered at the end of four years (t = 4). The equipment is not expected to have any salvage value at the end of four years. The companys operating costs, excluding depreciation, are expected to be 60 percent of the companys annual sales. The expansion will increase the companys dollar sales. The projected increases, all relative to current sales are: Year 1: Year 2: $3.0 million 3.5 million

Year 3: Year 4:

4.5 million 4.0 million

(For example, in Year 4 sales will be $4 million more than they would have been had the project not been undertaken.) After the fourth year, the equipment will be obsolete, and will no longer provide any additional incremental sales. The companys tax rate is 40 percent and the companys other divisions are expected to have positive tax liabilities throughout the projects life. If the company proceeds with the expansion, it will need to use a building that the company already owns. The building is fully depreciated; however, the building is currently leased out. The company receives $300,000 before-tax rental income each year (payable at year end). If the company proceeds with the expansion, the company will no longer receive this rental income. The projects WACC is 10 percent. What is the proposed project's NPV? a. b. c. d. e. -$1,034,876 -$1,248,378 -$1,589,885 -$5,410,523 -$ 748,378

Question 7
LitrakNPC Sdn. Bhd. is considering an investment proposal that requires initial investments of RM250000 in plant and machinery. Fully depreciate existing equipment may be disposed off for RM40000 before tax. The proposed project will have a five-year life, and is expected to produce additional revenue of RM80000 per year. Expenses other than depreciation will be RM15000 per year. The new plant and machinery will be depreciated to zero over the five year useful life, but it is expected to be sold for RM30000. The corporation tax rate is 28%. 1. What is the initial outlay for the proposed project? Cost of new P&M Cash inflow from disposal of existing asset = RM40000 (1-28%) Net Initial Outlay 2.

Question 10: Relevant Cash Flows and Calculation of NPV and Payback Period. (14 marks)

a. The management of SevenDragon Restaurant has been experiencing losses in the most recent months and is considering converting the operations to drive-in fast food takeaways. The fitting-out of the premise will cost RM40,000, and the equipment will have a life of ten years with th disposal value of RM1000. However, RM8,000 overhaul is necessary at the end of the fifth (5 ) year. Currently the restaurant incurred RM30,000 per annum to operate and did breakeven in this past year. The new service will save RM10,000 of these costs. Projected sales are 1,000 units per week, for full 52 weeks per year except in year 5 when the overhaul will force a 4-weeks shutdown. Each unit will provide a contribution of RM0.20. Ignore Tax REQUIRED: i. The annual cash inflows (and outflows) expected from the new project over the life of the asset.. ii. The Net Present Value of the operations if management is expecting a 20% rate of return. (Ignore taxes) (10 marks) b. Calculate the Payback Period using the above example. (4 marks)

Question9
DIGITAL TWO plc, a software company, has developed a new game, Narugo, which it plans to launch in the near future. Sales of the new game are expected to be very strong, following a favourable review by a popular PC magazine. DIGITAL TWO plc has been informed that the review will give the game a Best Buy recommendation. Sales volumes, production volumes and selling prices for Narugo over its four -year life are expected to be as follows.

Year Sales and production (units) Selling price (RM per game)

1 2 150,000 70,000 RM25 RM24

3 60,000 RM23 60,000

4 RM22

Financial information on Narugo for the first year of production is as follows: Direct material cost RM540 per game Other variable production cost RM600 per game Fixed costs RM600,000 per year Advertising costs to stimulate demand are expected to be RM650,000 in the first year of production and RM100,000 in the second year of production. No advertising costs are expected in the third and fourth years of production. Narugo will be produced on a new p roduction machine costing RM800,000. Although this production machine is expected to have a useful life of up to ten years, government legislation allows DIGITAL TWO plc to claim the capital cost of the machine against the manufacture of a single product. Capital allowances will therefore be claimed on a straight-line basis over four years.

DIGITAL TWO plc pays tax on profit at a rate of 30% per year and tax liabilities are settled in the year in which they arise. DIGITAL TWO plc uses an after-tax discount rate of 10% when appraising new capital investments. Ignore inflation.

Balance Sheet Capital and reserves: Ordinary shares, par value 50cents Profit and loss

27

The above cost forecasts have been prepared on the basis of current prices and no account has been taken of depreciation, inflation of 4% per year on variable costs and 3% per year on fixed costs. Working capital investment accounts for RM200,000 of the proposed RM1 million investment and machinery for RM800,000. LBD Bina uses a four-year evaluation period for capital investment purposes, but expects the new product range to continue to sell for several years after the end of this period. Capital investments are expected to pay back within two years on an undiscounted basis, and within three years on a discounted basis. The company pays tax on profits in the year in which liabilities arise at an annual rate of 26% and depreciation on machinery on a 25% per year basis.

The ordinary shareholders of LBD Bina Sdn. Bhd. require an annual return of 12%. Its ordinary shares are currently trading on the stock market at RM180 per share. The dividend paid by the company has increased at a constant rate of 5% per year in recent years and, in the absence of further investment, the directors expect this dividend growth rate to continue for the foreseeable future.

Required: (a) (i) Calculate the current dividend per share of LBD Bina Sdn. Bhd. (2 marks) (ii) Calculate the ordinary share price of LBD Bina Sdn. Bhd. predicted by the dividend growth model. (4 marks)

1 (a) (i) Number of ordinary shares = 1,000,000/05 = 2 million Current dividend per share = 100 x (300,000/2,000,000) = 15p (ii) Share price predicted by dividend growth model = (15 x 105)/(012 005) = 225p

It is possible to make an assumption concerning incremental investment in working capital to accommodate inflation, but no specific inflation rate for working capital is provided. An assumption of 34% inflation in working capital would be reasonable given the expected inflation in variable and fixed costs. Sum of present values of future benefits Less initial investment

(ii) Calculate, to the nearest month, the payback period and the discounted payback period of the proposed investment. (4 marks)

Payback = 2 + (1000 127 642 ) = 2.2 years 1184 Discounted Payback = 2 years + (1000 116 531 ) = 2.4 years 890 (iii) Discuss the acceptability of the proposed investment based on the calculation made in b(i) and b(ii) and explain ways in which your net present value calculation could be improved.

(iii) The proposed investment has a positive net present value of RM833,000 over four years of operation compared with an initial investment of RM1 million and so is financially acceptable. The company has payback and discounted payback targets, but these are not a guide to project acceptability because of the shortcomings of payback as an investment appraisal method. The proposed investment fails to meet the payback target of two years, but meets the discounted payback target of three years. While discounted payback counters the criticism that payback ignores the time value of money, it still ignores cash flows outside of the discounted payback period and so cannot be recommended to evaluate other than conventional investments. The net present value calculation could be improved in several ways. One obvious improvement would be the consideration of project cash flows beyond the four-year evaluation period used by Hendil plc. The company expects the new product range to sell for several years after the end of the evaluation period and if these sales are at a profit, the net present value would be higher than calculated. Another improvement would be more detailed information about the new product range, for which only average selling price and average variable cost data are provided. The basis for these averages is not stated and it is not known whether the products in the new range are substitutes or alternatives, or whether a constant product mix is being assumed. The basis for the changing annual sales volumes should also be explained. The assumption of constant annual inflation for variable and fixed costs is questionable. The information provided implies that inflation may have been taken into account in forecasting selling prices, but the selling price growth rates are sequentially 125%, 133% and zero, and so some factor other than inflation has also been used in the selling price forecast. The net present value evaluation could be improved if the basis for the forecast was known and could be verified as reasonable.
