Executive Summary

This report is a result of an analysis of the case which has been analyzed and reported by Mr. Bob McCarthy, Director of planning who has collected some serious information about the firm Genie Tech. Genie Tech is one of the current suppliers who supply plastic molded parts to Bergerac Systems. Off late the supply of these plastic parts is being a real problem for Bergerac Systems. The reason for the shortages in supply by both Genie Tech and Ellsinore are mentioned as the financial crisis of 2008, both the suppliers are also facing a very competitive and fragmented market with very low margins. As these reasons are putting them in a very difficult situation in supplying the parts, Bergerac faces big trouble in manufacturing the cartridges since the established base has grown big, Bergerac is not able to meet the supply.
Hence Mr. Ian McCarthy has to decide to either build the capacity of manufacturing the plastic parts in house or to buy Genie tech who are ready to sell their firm to Bergerac. The capacity of the current machines present in genie tech and the expenses are tabulated, similarly the expenses and capital costs of building capacity in house are also given.
Mr. McCarthy has used the data collected to calculate a projection to the year 2010 by backward integration options he finds out the payback period of both the options and finds concludes that building the capacity inside the firm is more economical than buying Genie tech, where in the analysis is short term. This report is based on the analysis which is made for a long term study period of 5 years and the Net income of each year is calculated which includes the capital investments and the annual savings made by each model in each year considering the Net present worth of these two options (Buy and Build) a stronger and a reasonable

    The results of the analysis lend favourably towards accepting the investment project. First it is important to note that based on the after tax cost of borrowing and a risk premium of 3.75%, a discount rate of 8.89% was deemed appropriate for the project. The majority of the investment indicators used to value the project use discounted cash flows to determine the investment’s profitability. This technique allows for comparison amongst different investment opportunities available, as it provides the total return that is expected to be achieved over the project’s horizon in current dollar terms.…

    This report utilizes the base case analysis, worse case analysis and best case analysis feeling these analyses are sufficient, while many analyses may be of interest, they could confuse the recommendations and strategic value of the project. In preparation the board would be told that calculating multiple NPVs for multiple inflationary rates for labor cost and supply cost would further confuse the issue. The information presented the NPV, IRR, MIRR and payback times would be calculated and discussed. Additionally, a break even point would be calculated. The break even point calculation included in fixed cost would…

Then, I decide which rapid prototyping system company should invest as well as I compare the each expansion projects’ IRR with WACC to decide which projects should be invested and which should not. After deciding projects which should be accepted, I draw Investment Opportunity Schedule (IOS) and Marginal Cost of Capital (MCC) graphs to decide where the company should finance accepted projects.…

    When it comes to investing in the 7E7 project the investors have three major options. The first of these options is to invest in the project with a short term gain in mind. Secondly the shareholder can invest expecting the project to pay off in the long-term. And lastly the prospective shareholder can choose to not invest in the project as a whole. In order to evaluate the profitability of the 7E7 project we are going to calculate the WACC of the project and then compare it to the stated IRR of 15.7%. While this calculation of IRR is subject to other risks such as the amount of units sold expected, we are going to assume 2,500 units will be sold annually over the first 20 years. It is also assumed that over the next 20 years world economies will grow by 3.2% annually and the relationship between air travel and GDP will continue which is growing at 5.1% annually. The calculation of the WACC is determined by using the following equation.…

    Bergerac Systems should integrate the backwards into the manufacture of injection-molded parts for its cartridges. Clearly, the shift in market provided a lot of room for new opportunities to Bergerac Systems. In order to capture the new market and be responsive to the fluctuating demand it is imperative to make sure the supply of Cartridges are available. If the customer came to an opinion that Bergerac’s products cartridges are difficult to get hands on it will negatively impact the sales of its products. Further, Bergerac is not the industry leader in the market, it is in fourth place in terms of the revenue and it only sold 750 of analyzers in the first year. This makes it more difficult for Bergerac if it looses its customers. Also, the changing customer preferences provide a great opportunity to increase sales.…

    This project is to identify and analyze HPL (Hansson Private Label ) company’s new investment decisions based on a series of calculations include: Operating Cash Flows (OCF), Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Sensitivity Analysis. The analysis suggests that Hansson should be very cautious regarding the investment proposal that is developed by his manufacturing team. Although the projections and analysis of the project for the next 10 years proposed by Robert Gates seems reasonable and will generate positive NPV and an IRR greater than the discount rate, NPV is very sensitive with regard to unit volume and unit selling price changes. A decrease in the projected unit volume and selling price might produce a negative NPV.…

    The purpose of this report is to analyze the opportunity to produce plastic components for cartridge production and choose the best alternative. It is predicted that the annual demand growth is a triangular distribution with a minimum of 5%, most likely of 17% and a maximum of 25%. Due to the continuous growth in the demand, the alternatives cannot be compared using just the data for 2010. An analysis is carried out for the time period 2011 to 2015 and the present worth of the net income is considered as the criteria to select the alternative. The analysis basically can be divided into 5 steps:…

    In addition to the estimation of the cost of equity, Star Appliance Company is also considering increasing their current debt ratio of 9.5% to the industry average of 19%. With a higher current debt ratio the WACC will be lower, at a rate of 8.24%. The cost of equity of each product was valued using the beta from the industry averages. The beta of the home appliance industry is 0.95, while the beta of the agricultural machinery industry is 0.88. Through the use of the CAPM model, these betas yield a cost of equity for the home appliances of 11.29% and for the agricultural machinery of 10.7%. The WACC of each individual project is then compared to the project’s IRR. The WACC of the home appliance project was found to be 10.4% and the WACC of the agricultural machinery project was calculated as 9.92%, while the IRR’s of the appliance and agricultural machinery projects were 11.29% and 10.7%, respectively. Therefore, both projects should be accepted based on the notion that the internal rate of return of each project is greater than the weighted average cost of capital.…
