evaluation of a proposed capital expenditure for equipment that would expand the firm’s manufacturing capacity. Using the traditional NPV methodology, she found the project unacceptable because NPV traditional = -$1,700 < $0 Before recommending rejection of the proposed project, she has decided to assess whether there might be real options embedded in the firm's cash flows. Her evaluation uncovered three options: Option 1; Abandonment; The project could be abandoned at the end of 3 years, resulting in an addition to NPV of $1,200. Option 2; Expansion; If the project outcomes occurred, an opportunity to expand the firm's product offerings further would become available at the end of 4 years. Exercise of this option is estimated to add $ 3,000 to the projects NPV. Option 3: Delay; Certain phases of the proposed project could be delayed if market and competitive conditions caused the firm's forecast revenues to develop more slowly than planned. Such a delay in implementation at that point has a NPV of $10,000. Jenny estimated that there was a 25% chance that the abandonment option would need to be exercised, a 30% chance that the expansion option would be exercises, and only a 10% chance that the implementation of certain phases of the project would have to be delayed. a) use the information provided to calculate the strategic NPV, NPV strategic , for Asor Products' proposed equipment expenditure. b) judging on the basis of the findings in part a, what action should jenny recommend to management with regard to the proposed equipment expenditure? c) In general, how does this problem demonstrate the importance of considering real options when making capital budgeting decisions?

The current balance in accounts receivable for Eboy Corporation is $443,000. This level was achieved with annual (365 days) credit sales of $3,544,000. The firm offers its customers credit terms of net 30. However, in an effort to help its cash flow position and to follow the actions of its rivals, the firm is considering changing its credit terms from net 30 to 2/10 net 30. The objective is to speed up the receivable collections and thereby improve the firm’s cash flows. Eboy would like to increase its accounts receivable turnover to 12.0. The firm works with a raw material whose current annual usage is 1,450 units. Each finished product requires one unit of this raw material at a variable cost of $2,600 per unit and sells for $4,200 on terms of net 30. It is estimated that 70% of the firm’s customers will take the 2% cash discount and that, with the discount, sales of the finished product will increase by 50 units per year. The firm’s opportunity cost of funds invested in accounts receivable is 12.5%. In analyzing the investment in accounts receivable, use the variable cost of the product sold instead of the sale price because the variable cost is a better indicator of the firm’s investment. TO DO Create a spreadsheet similar to Table 15.3 to analyze whether the firm should initiate the proposed cash discount. What is your advice? Make sure that you calculate the following: · a. Additional profit contribution from sales. · b. Average investment in accounts receivable at present (without cash discount). · c. Average investment in accounts receivable with the proposed cash discount. · d. Reduction in investment in accounts receivable. · e. Cost savings from reduced investment in accounts receivable. · f. Cost of the cash discount. · g. Net profit (loss) from initiation of proposed cash discount.
