Lancers, Ltd. is contemplating a $350,000 investment of equipment that they feel can add $90,000 in revenues in Year #1 and Year #2, and $100,000 in revenue in Year 3, and $105,000 in Years 4 & 5. They estimate variable expenses at 7.5% of Sales and additional fixed costs would be approximately $9,500 per year. The equipment should last 5 years and have a salvage value of $15,000 at the end of its life. They've decided to use straight line depreciation over the equipment life. Instructions: 1) Complete the above worksheet using the information provided in the Scenario at the top right. 2) A Yellow box means you need to insert numbers either hard coded or via a simple formula. 3) An Orange box means you need to derive what goes here by use of an Excel formula. 4) A Green box already has formulas and will update automatically as you complete the other areas. 5) A Grey box of any shade you need not do anything. Some of the info is FYI. 6) Explain three things: a) How did you choose your discount rate? b) Should you make this investment? Why? c) What other considerations do you feel are relevant in assessing the results of your work?
