Excel Aluminum works Inc. an aluminum accessories manufacturer, is considering expanding its manufacturing facility to meet the rising demand for aluminum doors. The plant manager has compiled the following financial data for the project which will start operations on 1st January 2020:

Molding and posturing equipment: $782,000
Freight charges for equipment delivery: $10,000
Site preparation and equipment installation charges: $8,000
Equipment maintenance charges: $36,000 per year.
Material charges: $2 per unit
Labor charges: $3 per unit
Manufacturing overhead: 10,000 per month
Maintenance: 50,000 per year
Finished goods inventory to maintain: 2-month supply
Raw materials inventory to maintain: 2-month supply
Accounts receivable: 60 days
Accounts payable: 30 days

An end-of-year annual revenue of $2,400,000 is expected by selling 120,000 doors.

The building that will house the new production facility would cost $2,000,000 to construct on a piece of land that costs $400,000. The expected life of the project is six years. At the end of the project, the equipment has an estimated salvage value of $80,000, the land can be sold for $400,000 and the building for $1,705,727. The equipment is classified as a four-year MACRS property (half year convention, 200%DB and zero salvage value). The building will be depreciated according to a 39-years class property. Only half of the working capital will be recovered at the end of the project due to inventory obsolescence. The firm’s taxable income from regular business excluding this project is $7,000,000. The firm evaluates all such investment projects at a MARR of 15%. The gain tax of 40% is applicable for any gains (losses) recorded from the disposal of assets in this case.

Assuming that 50% of the total initial capital investment will be financed through a local bank at an interest rate of 10% compounded annually, and is to be repaid in six equal annual installments, determine the net after-tax cash flows for the project and develop project’s cash flow statement using table given below

You need to compute the various elements of cash flow statement asked in the sub-sections below and furnish the statement afterward on the table provided. No marks will be awarded for the entries made without proper work performed.

1. Calculate the annual depreciation charge (in dollars) for the assets involved in the project. Show the complete calculation procedure, mere values will not earn you any reward. ?
1. Calculate the working capital required to be invested in the project. ?
1. Calculate the amount to be financed from the bank and its repayment schedule for the cash flow statement. Do you need to tabulate the repayment schedule here.
