 Part A: Investment Decision – project evaluation Damavand manufactures a variety of Lollies. The company is considering introducing a new product (Lollypop). The company’s manager has been provided with the following information by their business analyst.  An environmental impact study has been undertaken at a cost of $125,000. This indicates that the project is environmentally sustainable, but the project still needs to be evaluated to see if it is economically viable.  The project will require the use of storage capacity owned by the company. If not used for the project, this could be rented out for $45,000 per year.  The project will generate waste products which can be used by another of the firm’s operations, saving that operation $45,000 per year in raw material purchases.  The project has an anticipated economic life of 5 years.  The Company plans to spend $1,250,000 on advertising campaign to boost sales.  The Company’s interest expense each year will be $550,000.  The Company is required to purchase a new machine to produce the new product. The machine’s initial cost is $6,500,000. The machine will be depreciated on a straight – line basis over 5 years. The Company anticipates that the machine will last for 10 years; the salvage value after 5 years is $600,000.  Six months ago, the Company also paid $400,000 to a firm to do research regarding new product.  If the Company goes ahead with the new product, it will have an effect on the Company’s net operating capital. The forecasted net working capital will be $250,000 (at time zero)  The new product is expected to generate sales revenue of $1,000,000; 2,000,000; 3,000,000; 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 in year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Each year the operating cost (not including depreciation) expected to equal 25 percent of sales revenue.  In addition, the Company expects with introduction of new product, sale of other Lollypop increase by $550,000 after taxes each year.  The Company’s overall WACC is 7.5 percent. However, the proposed project is riskier than the average project; the new project’s WACC is estimated to be 9 percent.  The Company’s tax rate is 30 percent.
