Question: RenK 2 is currently evaluating a plan to introduce the action figure San Lolo. RenK 2 plans to sell the action figure for two years

RenK2 is currently evaluating a plan to introduce the action figure San Lolo. RenK2 plans to sell
the action figure for two years as the character's timeline in a popular movie franchise seems to
be ending. Below is some data for the current plan.
RenK2 has to purchase a machine for $1,200,000 that can only be used for San Lolo. Its
useful life is 2 years and will be depreciated over the useful life to zero using straight-line
depreciation. This machine has to be paid in full at the beginning of year 1.
There are additional fixed manufacturing costs of $1,000,000 per year (salaries of
employees that need to be hired for the manufacturing of the figures).
RenK2 will not have to supply any working capital.
Per unit, RenK2 charges $20 and incurs $10 in variable manufacturing costs.
Assume that all cash flows (other than the initial purchase of the machine) occur at year-
end.
RenK2 has a cost of capital of 100%(yes, it is 100%, this simplifies the calculations!).
c) The CFO of RenK2 realized that the company can produce and sell the 1,000,000 units
for year 1 and then switch to a different character, Daisy Rey.
a. RenK2 expects to be able to sell 1,000,000 Rey figures year 2 and another
1,000,000 Rey figures in year 3.
b. Each Rey figure will be sold at $20 and has $5 variable manufacturing costs.
c. No additional investment will be necessary.
d. Because the machine for production will not be useable in year 3, RenK2 plans to
produce 1,000,000 San Lolo and 500,000 Rey figures in year 1 and produce
1,500,000 Rey figures in year 2.
e. As a result, instead of $1,000,000 in years 1 and 2, RenK2 will face fixed
manufacturing costs of $1,900,000 in year 1 and just $900,000 in year 2.
f. RenK2 will face no fixed manufacturing costs in year 3.
In Year 2, RenK2 will first sell the 500,000 units produced in year 1.
RenK2 will allocate all manufacturing overhead costs to products based on variable
manufacturing costs.
What is the after-tax NPV for the entire project (San Lolo and Daisy Rey) if the CFO's
plan is implemented?
