Risk Methodologies Assignment

For this assignment, you must calculate the IRR and NPV as you did last week in your spreadsheet with new numbers. You do not need to turn in the spreadsheet, though you can include a screenshot in your PPT. In any case you must complete the calculations and present the NPV and IRR for the coffee packaging project.

The point of this exercise is to determine whether to go forward with the coffee project based on the NPV and IRR of the project.

The most important slides are #4 and #8. You must provide a correct NPV for the new project.

You must come to the correct conclusion in slide #8.

You must include the updated results of last week's IP. If you did not have them correct, refer to your feedback.

You must include speaker notes of 100 words per slide, 2-8.

Use this information:

Apix is considering coffee packaging as an additional diversification to its product line. Here's information regarding the coffee packaging project:

Initial investment outlay of $40 million, consisting of $35 million for equipment and $5 million for net working capital (NWC) (plastic substrate and ink inventory); NWC recoverable in terminal year

Project and equipment life: 5 years
Sales: $27 million per year for five years
Assume gross margin of 50% (exclusive of depreciation)
Depreciation: Straight-line for tax purposes
Selling, general, and administrative expenses: 10% of sales
Tax rate: 35%
Assume a WACC of 10%.

Compute the project's IRR and NPV.

In addition, answer the following questions:

Do you believe that there was sufficient financial information to make a solid decision on what to do?

Was there further financial information that you required that was not provided to you?

What financial figure do you believe was the determinant to your decision and why?

How would you be able to apply this particular financial information to other situations?

Discuss risk methodologies used in capital budgeting.

The Coffee packaging project is being considered on its own.

There is no hurdle rate given. Focus on the NPV. If it is positive the project will be accepted.

You should say what has changed from the previous project, that is the previous assignment.

Organize your PPT as below:

PowerPoint, 9 slides.
