The projected cost of a new plant is given below (all numbers in R10 6 ) Land
Question:
The projected cost of a new plant is given below (all numbers in R106)
Land Cost = R10
Fixed Capital Investment excl. Land = R150 (R100 at end of year 1, R30 end of year 2, and R20 at end of year 3)
Working capital = 30% of FCI (at start-up)
Start-up at end of year 3
Revenue from Sales - R65
Cost of Manufacturing (without depreciation) = R25
Tax Rate -28% Depreciation method double decline balance method (no salvage value and 5 years equipment life)
Length of time over which profitability is to be assessed 10 years after start-up Internal rate of return = 11%p.a.
(a) Draw a cumulative (discounted) after-tax cash flow diagram (to be uploaded as a file)
(b) From part (a), calculate the following discounted profitability criteria for the project:
(i) Net present value (Given in R-rounded to nearest RI)
(ii) Discounted payback period (years - rounded to 2 decimals i.e. 5.23)
(iii) Discounted cash flow rate of return (DCFROR) (%-rounded to 1 decimals i.e. 13.1%)
