PROBLEM 2
MacroHard considers selling a Virtual Reality device set HoloGlobe. The management anticipates that new system will have the first year revenues of $500,000 K with subsequent annual revenue growth of 20%. Operating costs are 70% of revenues.
The project requires $600 Mil investment in equipment, which will have a five year anticipated life and will be depreciated using five year MACRS depreciation method toward a zero book value (five year MACRS official depreciation rates are given below - it does require 6 years, this is not a typo!). However, the company will be able to sell the equipment on the after-market at the end of year 5 for 20% of its original cost. The company requires an 12% rate of return from its investment and faces a 35% tax rate (overall the company is profitable). In addition to capital investment, the project requires an outlay of net working capital equal to 20% of revenues in the coming year. I.e., at time 0 (beginning of year 1) net working capital requirement is $100,000 K and will grow in subsequent years. All NWC will be recovered after the project's end.
a) Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the company undertake the project? (see chapter 2 for details)
b) The marketing and operations department disagree with current projections for operating costs, first year revenues and revenue growth . Considering one factor at a time, at what level of operating costs, initial revenues, and revenues growth (decline) the project will break-even (NPV=0)? (see chapter 3 for details)
c) Looking at percentage difference between the predicted level and critical (break-even) level of each of the three factors, which of them is the most critical? (see chapter 3 for details)
