A) 5) Working Capital is recovered at the end of the 4th year. If machinery had been sold for less than book value the tax effect would be negative.

B) 1) Projected cash flows shouldnt be revised in the table to show interest charges because the cost of capital shows the effects of debt financing. The cost of capital is used to discount cash flows. 2) The renovation represents a sunk cost and would not be included in the analysis. 3) The lease payment of 25K is an opportunity cost and would be reflected in the analysis: 25K(.6) = 15K. This amount should be subtracted from the cash flows the company has. 4) The analysis would reflect the decreased sales from the new product. The lemon juice product will adversely affect the orange juice sector of the business, representing an overstatement of the lemon juice sector. The lemon juice project figures need to be reduced by the amount of decreased revenues as it applies to the orange juice sector.

C) 10% 0 | (260) 1 | 79.7 2 | 91.2 3 | 62.4 4 | 89.7

NPV = -$4.0. NPV is negative. Therefore, dont accept. IRR = 0 IRR = 9.3%. The IRR is less than the cost of capital. Therefore, dont accept. MIRR = 9.6%. The MIRR is less than the cost of capital. Therefore, dont accept. Payback: Year 0 1 2 3 4 Cash Flow $260.0 79.7 91.2 62.4 89.7 Cumulative Cash Flow $260.0 180.3 89.1 26.7 63.0

Payback = 3 years + $26.7/$89.7 = 3.3 years. Allied Food Products should not move forward on this project based on the above figures.

D) Assuming that this project had been a replacement, the analysis would look at the differences in cash flows of taking on the project as opposed to not taking on the project. The cash flow table would have to show a column for no change, a column for the new project and a column for the differences which be useful in gathering the NPV, IRR and MIRR. E) 1) a. Within firm risk represents the total risk given to the project. Within firm risk takes into account the NPVs standard deviation and the projects cash returns as they relate to the returns for the rest

of the business. Within firm risk is quantified by the beta of the projects ROA compared to the firms ROA. b. Stand alone risk represents the projects total risk as if it were a stand alone project. Stand alone risk is measured by the projects coefficient of variation of NPV or by the projects standard deviation. c. Market risk examines the risk of the project as it pertains to a diversified investor and measured by the projects beta coefficient, taking into consideration corporate risk and stockholder diversification. 2) Market risk is more relevant for capital projects because it takes into consideration maximizing shareholder wealth. 3) Stand alone risk is the easiest to measure and it is used in budgeting decisions. 4) Yes, the three types of risk are highly correlated because the majority of a firms projects are a part of its core business. F) 1) Sensitivity analysis is a quantitative measurement of a variable on a specific projects NPV. All but one variable is set at their expected values. This variable is altered and the outcome is compared to the projects NPV. 2) Using 100 as the base case value for unit sales, simply subtract 10%, 20% & 30% from 100 and add these percentages to 100, giving you a range from 70 to 130 units. Place the sales numbers one

at a time in the table and calculate the change in sales units, which would be reflected in various net cash flow values. With net cash flow values, calculate the NPV, IRR, MIRR and payback. Repeat the same steps for the sensitivity analysis on salvage value and for cost of capital analysis. 3) The primary weakness of sensitivity analysis are that it doesnt take into consideration the effects of diversification and it doesnt take into account information regarding projection errors and attribute project risk to a project with long term fixed revenues. The advantage of sensitivity analysis is that it points out variables most profitable to the firm.
