Prоctоr аnd Gаmble (P&G) аre cоnsidering introducing a new laundry detergent, Tide Advanced. The firm will manufacture the new laundry detergent in a building currently owned by P&G. P&G purchased the building 15 years ago for $2,800,000 and the building is currently worth $3,500,000 after taxes. P&G expects to be able to sell 1,200,000 units each year for seven (7) years. After seven (7) years, P&G will no longer sell this product. Each unit will be sold for $6.75 and it costs $3.75 to produce each unit. Project costs also include annual marketing expenses of $750,000. Production of Tide Advanced will require new equipment that will cost $6,000,000 and be fully depreciated using straight line depreciation over an accounting life of eight (8) years, even though the project will only last (7) years. The introduction of this new project will affect existing products. P&G expects to lose sales of $300,000 per year from a similar product. P&G also expects to increase sales of its dryer sheets by $800,000 due to synergistic marketing efforts. The new product requires an additional investment in net working capital of $1,200,000 and will remain at this level throughout the project until recovered at the end of project. The firm’s tax rate is 35%. The required return on this project is 8%, compounded monthly. Would you recommend this project to P&G? Why or why not?
