Shrieves Casting Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by Sidney Johnson, a recently business school graduate. The production line would be set up in unused space in Shrieves' main plant. The machinerys invoice price would be approximately $200,000; another $10,000 in shipping charges would be required; and it would cost an additional $30,000 to install the equipment. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and would be a class 8 with a 20% CCA rate. The machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 after 4 years of use The new line would generate incremental sales of 1,250 units per year for four years at an incremental cost of $100 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. Each unit can be sold for $200 in the first year. The sales price and cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firms net operating working capital would have to increase by an amount of $32,000. The firms tax rate is 28%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital is 10 percent I. Utilize the Components Cash Flows Approach to analyze Shrieves new product project r = 10% T = 28% A.
