Sugar Land Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by a MBA student. The production line would be set up in unused space (Market Value Zero) in Sugar Land’ main plant. Total cost of the machine is $330,000. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years and will be depreciated using MACRS for 3-year property class. The machine will have a salvage value of $35,000 after 4 years. The new line will generate Sales of 2,000 units per year for 4 years and the variable cost per unit is $114 in the first year. Each unit can be sold for $220 in the first year. The sales price and variable cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by $30,000 at time zero (No change in NWC in years 1 through 3 and the NWC will be recouped in year 4). The firm’s tax rate is 40% and its weighted average cost of capital is 11%. The text below can be copy/pasted into the submission box below. Please save your work often as you type your answers. a.
