Summarize the preferences dictated by each measure, and indicate which project you would recommend. Explain why. P11-4 Sunk costs and opportunity costs. Masters Golf Products, Inc., spent 3 years and $1,000,000 to develop its new line of club heads to replace a line that is becoming obsolete. To begin manufacturing them, the company will have to invest $1,800,000 in new equipment. The new clubs are expected to generate an increase in operating cash inflows of $750,000 per year for the next 10 years. The company has determined that the existing line could be sold to a competitor for $250,000. a. How should the $1,000,000 in development costs be classified? b. How should the $250,000 sale price for the existing line be classified? c. Depict all the known relevant cash flows on a time line. P11-8 Book value and taxes on sale of assets. Troy Industries purchased a new machine 3 years ago for $80,000. It is being depreciated under MACRS with a 5-year recovery period using the percentages given in Table 4.
2 on page 000. Assume a 40% tax rate. a. What is the book value of the machine? b. Calculate the firms tax liability if it sold the machine for each of the following amounts: $100,000; $56,000; $23,200; and $15,000. P11-23 Relevant cash flows for a marketing campaign Marcus Tube, a manufacturer of high-quality aluminum tubing, has maintained stable sales and profits over the past 10 years. Although the market for aluminum tubing has been expanding by 3% per year, Marcus has been unsuccessful in sharing this growth. To increase its sales, the firm is considering an aggressive marketing campaign that centers on regularly running ads in all relevant trade journals and web sites and exhibiting products at all major regional and national trade shows. The campaign is expected to require an annual tax-deductible expenditure of $150,000 over the next 5 years. Sales revenue, as shown in the accompanying income statement for 2015, totaled $20,000,000. If the proposed marketing campaign is not initiated, sales are expected to remain at this level in each of the next 5 years, 2016 through 2020. With the marketing campaign, sales are expected to rise to the levels shown in the accompanying table for each of the next 5 years; cost of goods sold is expected to remain at 80% of sales; general and administrative expense (exclusive of any marketing campaign outlays) is expected to remain at 10% of sales; and annual depreciation expense is expected to remain at $500,000. Assuming a 40% tax rate, find the relevant cash flows over the next 5 years associated with the proposed marketing campaign.
