1. The Golf Range is considering adding an additional driving range to its facility. The range would cost $229,000, would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its seven-year life, and would have a zero-salvage value. The anticipated revenue from the project is $62,500 a year with $18,400 of that amount being variable cost. The fixed cost would be $15,700. The firm believes that it will earn an additional $22,500 a year from its current operations should the driving range be added. The project will require $3,000 of net working capital, which is recoverable at the end of the project. What is the internal rate of return on this project at a tax rate of 34 percent? 2. Desai Industries is analyzing an average-risk project, and the following data have been developed. Unit sales will be constant, but the sales price should increase with inflation. Fixed costs will also be constant, but variable costs should rise with inflation. The project should last for 3 years, it will be depreciated on a straight-line basis, and there will be no salvage value. This is just one of many projects for the firm, so any losses can be used to offset gains on other firm projects. What is the project's expected NPV? WACC Net investment cost (depreciable basis) 10.0% $200,000 Units sold 50,000 Average price per unit, Year 1 $25.00 Fixed op. cost excl. deprec. (constant) $150,000 Variable op. cost/unit, Year 1 $20.20 Annual depreciation rate 33.333% Expected inflation rate per year 5.00% Tax rate 40.0% 1.
