In the Excel templаte, use the "Vаluаtiоn" tab.  Jоhnny Inept оwns a company called Buccaneers of the Bahamas that manufactures yachts. The company is considering introducing a new super-charged, solar- and wind-powered schooner.  The company will issue $5 million in long-term bonds and fund the rest of the project with equity.  Mr. Inept plans to invest his own money in return for 1 million shares.   Mr. Inept has been in contact with Gouldman Bags about funding this venture.  Gouldman believes that the planned capital structure will lead to a WACC of 12.8%. The tax rate is 21%. With his investment team, Mr. Inept has developed the following expectations for the company: The company has spent $280,000 on market research to determine product feasibility.   Inept owns a Master Planer (woodworking equipment) that will be used for the project. He purchased it for $1.2 million two years ago; it has a current market value of $960,000 and is being depreciated at $100,000 per year.  Additional equipment to manufacture the schooners will have an up-front cost of $2.8 million. The company anticipates it will upgrade its Master Planer at the end of year 5. It will sell the original planer for an estimated $600,000 and buy more efficient equipment at an estimated price of $2 million. All new equipment will be depreciated using a MACRS depreciation schedule with a 10-year life (see template for the depreciation percentage for each year).  The company will rent a facility for production that has initial rent of 1.5 million for year one (capture at the end of each year) and will grow at 2.5% inflation each year. The project will require raw materials of $1.8 million in order to start manufacturing schooners on the first day of the project; it will pay for 30% of this up front and carry the remainder in as accounts payable. Starting in year 1, net working capital required will be 17% of the next year’s revenues. The new schooner is expected to be priced at $1.65 million per schooner, and the initial estimate is that 5 units will be sold in the first year. The company anticipates being able to increase that price by 4% each year, and will increase the number of units sold by: 10% per year in years 2 and 3 (this will lead to partial units…just leave this as is as units will see across years) 8% per year in years 4 and 5 3% per year in years 6 and 7 Variable operating costs are expected to equal 63% of sales revenue.  Fixed operating costs are $2,000,000 per year, of which $350,000 is allocated overhead not incremental to the project. These costs are expected to grow with inflation. Assume free cash flows grow forever at -2.25% per year after year 6 (so technically they are declining after year 6). What is the NPV for this project?  (Format as $XXX,XXX with no leading 0's.; examples: $2,852,999, $28,282 or $2,828 or $-38,749).
