Use the Spreаdsheet titled “Pizzа”. Yоu оwn а pizza shоp and are considering introducing the innovative “upside down pizza”. It is messy, but tasty. If you move forward with this new menu item, you will only offer “upside down pizzas” for 5 years, after which you would shut the project down. You paid a consultant $2,000 to run several focus groups to determine if this was an idea your customers would like, and she indicated that demand would be strong. The new machine would cost $280,000, and you would depreciate it over 8 years to an accounting salvage value of $30,000. After the project is over (end of year 5) you believe you can sell the machine for $105,000 (sale proceeds before tax). Your restaurant is open all 365 days of the year, and you think you will sell 50 “upside down pizzas” on average per day for a price of $12 each in Year 1. You will raise your per-unit price by $2 per year until the end of the project (e.g., year 1 = $12, year 2 = $14, year 3 = $16, year 4 = $18, year 5 = $20) You believe that these “upside down pizzas” will decrease the sales of your regular pizzas. You believe this will reduce sales by 40 units per day. These pizzas sell for an average price of $10 each and cost on average $7 each; you anticipate this will remain constant for the entire project). The costs to prepare an “upside down pizza” is $8 per pizza. You need pay a specialist to operate the machine which will increase your fixed costs by $8,600 per year. Your accounts receivable balance will be calculated as 15% of this year’s revenue dollars. Your inventory balance will be calculated as 10% of next year’s variable cost dollars. Your accounts payable balance will be calculated as 5% of this year’s variable cost dollars. Given the increase in volume of sales, you need an extra refrigerator. You have a spare unit on hand and plan to use it. If you sold it today, the market price would be $3,500 (before tax). It has a current book value of $1,000. Your marginal tax rate is 21%. This project’s cost of capital (discount rate) is 13%. What is your NPV of this project? What is the NPV for this project? (Format as $XXX,XXX with no leading 0's.; examples: $2,888,943, $28,282 or $2,828 or $-34,859).
Use the infоrmаtiоn fоr the question(s) below. Suppose thаt а young couple has just had their first baby and they wish to ensure that enough money will be available to pay for their child's college education. Currently, college tuition, books, fees, and other costs, average $12,500 per year. On average, tuition and other costs have historically increased at a rate of 4% per year. Assuming that costs continue to increase an average of 4% per year, tuition and other costs for one year for this student in 18 years when she enters college will be closest to:
