Question: I need help putting the data into tables t o build a worksheet to derive the NPV and IRR. Free Cash Flows and Net Present

I need help putting the data into tables to build a worksheet to derive the NPV and IRR.
Free Cash Flows and Net Present Value calculation:
When entering numbers that involve multiples (such as Revenue = unit sales Price/unit x
Quantity) enter formulas so that you can change either Price/unit or Quantity and see how
changes influence your final answer.
The details for the project are as follows:
a. All cash flows occur at the end of the year, today is time 0. All investment occurs today
(time 0). The first annual net cash flow occurs 1 year from now at time 1.
b. Buying equipment: $350,000 cost +$50,000 shipping +$20,000 installation.
c. The equipment is depreciated over 6 years but only used for 4 years.
d. Selling the equipment at the end of year 4=$125,000.
i. Hint: The assets will be sold at the end of year 4. If the sale price exceeds the net
book value of the assets at the end of year 4 you must pay tax on the difference
(use the tax rate mentioned below).
e. Depreciation Method for Tax Purposes: MACRS 5-year class.
f. Annual unit sales =1,400.
g. Sales price per unit =$230.
h. Cost per unit =$110.
i. Assume the sales price and the unit cost escalate at 4% per year.
j. Other incrememtal cash costs =30000 per year.
k. Net working capital at each date:
i. Accounts receviables Sales {:?t+1)[the AR at time 0 equals .14 times
expected total sales at time 1]
ii. Accounts payables (AP)t=17%(COGSt+1)[the AP at time 0 equals .17 times
expected total sales at time 1]
Tax rate =35%.
m . The discount rate is 8.5%.
Compute the NPV using the discount rate given, also compute the IRR.
a. Hint: use the NPV function but recall that in Excel the NPV function will compute the
present value of the periodic annual net cash flows (starting in years 1), you must then
subtract the total outlay that occurs at time 0(if you have entered negative numbers for
the initial outlays you will add that). Use the IRR function in Excel to compute the IRR.
Scenario analysis:
Recalculate the NPV and IRR for the following cases:
Unit sales =1,200 instead of 1400
Sales price and the unit cost escalate at 6%
The discount rate increases to 10%
AR becomes 20% of Sales
Switch to straight-line depreciation
