Expert Solution

1)

1.Calculation of operating income(Earning before Interest and Tax)

EBIT=Sales-Ingredients-Utilities-rent-salaries-employee benefit-Depreciation

=$490,000-$49,000-$24,500-$88,200-$98,000-$73,500-$49,000-$14,700

=$93,100

2.Calculation of net income(Profit after tax)

Net Income=(EBIT-INTEREST)(1- tax rate)

=(93,100-$24,500)(1-0.30)

=$48,020

2)

Variable cost per unit is 60 & contribution is 40.

Hence Selling Price = 64+40= 100.

We know that depreciation is a tax-deductable expense.

Calculation of savings on Tax p.a due to depreciation:

(2,000,000-200,000) / 5years * 30% tax = 108,000

1) Calculation of Cash flow for year 1 to 5.

Particulars 1 2 3 4 5

Purchase machine (2,000,000)

Sales Made    2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000

(100,000/5*100)

Variable Cost p.a (1,200,000)    (1,200,000)   (1,200,000)    (1,200,000)   (1,200,000)

(100,000/5*60)

Fixed Cost    (500,000) (500,000) (500,000) (500,000) (500,000)

Savings on tax     108,000    108,000 108,000     108,000    108,000

Sale of Machine salvage - - - - 200,000

Net Cash Inflow   (1,592,000) 408,000 408,000 408,000 608,000

(Net Cashflow for all 5 years combined = Sh 240,000)

2) Calculation of NPV of the Project

Year Net Cashflow Discounting Factor @12% Present Value

1 (1,592,000) 0.893 (1,421,428)

2 408,000 0.797 325,255

3 408,000 0.712 290,406

4 408,000 0.635 259,291

5 608,000 0.567 344,995

NPV=   (201,481)

3) Advice to company on basis of NPV

As we can see from above calculations, even though we get a psoitive net cashflow of Sh. 240,000 over the period of 5 years... the Net Present Value (NPV) of the cashflows comes to Negative Sh. 201,481.

Hence the company is adviced to not continue with this project since NPV is negative.
