Yоu оwn а pizzа shоp аnd 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 said it was a good idea. The new machine would cost $150,000, 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 $65,000 (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 $14 each in Year 1. You will raise your per-unit price by $1 per year until the end of the project (e.g., year 1 = $14, year 2 = $15, year 3 = $16, year 4 = $17, year 5 = $18) You believe that these “upside down pizzas” will increase the sales of your beverages. You believe this will increase by your normal pizza sales by 40 units per day. These beverages sell for an average price of $4 each and cost on average $1 each; you anticipate this will remain constant for the entire project). The costs to prepare an “upside down pizza” and a normal pizza are both $8 per pizza. You need pay a specialist to operate the machine which will increase your fixed costs by $5,600 per year. Your accounts receivable balance will be calculated as 15% of next 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 next 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 $4,500 (before tax). It has a current book value of $1,000. Your marginal tax rate is 20%. This project’s cost of capital (discount rate) is 14%. What is your NPV of this project?
