Inflation Adjustments

1.The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has a cost of $170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely. The current sales price is $149 per case, and the current cost per case is $104. The firm is taxed at a rate of 40%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise at a rate of 7% per year. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 16%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits, because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated.

New-Project Analysis

The president of the company you work for has asked you to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new chromatograph for the firm’s R&D department. The equipment’s basic price is $120,000, and it would cost another $18,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. The chromatograph, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class, would be sold after 3 years for $42,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. Use of the equipment would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $4,800. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $48,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm’s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 30%.
