Yоu hаve а cоncrete mixture prоportion thаt works well in central Mississippi. It uses a Type I cement only with w/cm of 0.45 and compressive strength of 4,500 psi. You have a new project to build a reinforced concrete pier on the Atlantic coast of Connecticut. You would like to modify the mixture proportions you have used previously in Mississippi for this new project because the strength requirements are similar (4,500 psi). What changes would you make to this mixture to improve its durability in the new environment? (Up to 5 points)
(Prоject Free Cаsh Flоws). (65 pоints). Solve the following project free cаsh flow problem: Diаmond Trek Company, a manufacturer of mountain bikes, is considering a new project involving the introduction of a new product line of mountain bikes (the Yukon). This new project is expected to last three years, and then, due to the fact that the product is trendy, it is expected to be terminated at such time. The cost of new equipment required for the new product (the Yukon) is $32,500,000, related shipping, installation and training is $500,000. The company has already incurred $350,000 for preliminary mountain bike designs and expects to incur another $225,000 of design work prior to the introduction of the new product (the Yukon). Unit sales of the new product (the Yukon) are expected to be: 90,000, 125,000 and 80,000, respectively for years 1, 2 and 3. Average sales price per unit of the new product (the Yukon) is expected to be $500 in year 1 and drop to $460 in years 2 and 3. Average variable operating costs for the new product (the Yukon) are anticipated to be $210 per unit for year 1 and grow at inflation thereafter. Fixed operating costs for the new product (the Yukon) are estimated to be $2,700,000 in year 1 and grow at inflation thereafter. The company’s total marketing costs were $1,900,000 last year and are expected to be $2,250,000 in year 1 with the increase entirely due to the introduction of the new product (the Yukon). Total company marketing costs will remain at $2,250,000 during years 2 and 3. The introduction of the new product (the Yukon) is expected to decrease the unit sales of one of the company’s existing mountain bike product lines (the Logan) by 15,000, 22,000 and 18,000 units, respectively in years 1, 2 and 3. Average sales price per unit of this existing product (the Logan) is expected to be $425 in years 1 through 3. Average variable operating costs for the existing product (the Logan) are expected to be $190 per unit in year 1 and grow at inflation thereafter. There will be an initial working capital requirement of $300,000 to get production of the new product (the Yukon) started, and thereafter, the total investment in working capital is expected to equal 8 percent of the relevant sales dollars for each year. All working capital should be assumed to be liquidated at the termination of the project at the end of year 3. Interest expense for the new product (the Yukon) is expected to be $2,500,000 for years 1, 2 and 3. The straight-line depreciation method over a three year period with no salvage value should be assumed. The inflation rate should be assumed to be 2.75% per year. The company’s tax rate is 28%. Given the above information, determine the annual (Year 0 thru Year 3) incremental free cash flows associated with this potential new project
