Investment Appraisal Your Case Study firm is considering whether to invest 6.1 Million in Year 0 to develop a novel (new to the market) product for which they expect Sales during Years 1-5. i) Assess their ability to compete in key markets by examining (commenting on) Profit Margins and Sales trends in their key markets for recent years (preferably tabulated). ii) Management Ratios: assess the Case Study firm's recent re- sults for the last 2 years (using Annual Reports with full year statements) - specifically two or three ratios per "PERL" category to be calculated (preferably tabulated) and commented on. a) Investment Appraisal: examine the Net Present Value (NPV) for a new product investment at a 10% rate given that the firm expects annual Sales Revenues (in ) equal to five times 18MN000 (where MN are the last 2 digits of your student id) and a Profit Margin of 25%. Include their latest Income statement and Balance Sheet at the back of the assignment. Hint: it can be helpful to start by tabu- lating key items from their latest financial statements (Profit fig- ures, Balance Sheet items) before conducting a ratio analysis. b) Project Sensitivity Analysis: critically examine the sensitivity of the project to sales erosion (of 10%, 20% and 30%) using project NPV (for the same 10% discount rate). b) Firm's situation: prepare a short commentary giving your view of the firm's recent business results including points concerning their customer and competitive situation. c) Project Return: using the original sales revenue, increase the discount rate till you achieve a negative NPV and use this to es- tablish the project IRR (Internal Rate of Return). Discuss how this result may be viewed by senior staff responsible for project approvals (who consider risk levels when appraising an invest- ment project). c) Business growth: assess the Case Study firm's ability to fund R&D expenditure. Review some recent investments by the firm and appraise the business approaches taken to pursue busi- ness growth (for example, to enter/expand in international mar- kets etc..). Part 3.
