A Professional Written Memo of SNAP Cosmetics Company
Question
SNAP Cosmetics, Inc. is contemplating building a new plant to manufacture a new metallic cosmetic products line. The cost to build the plant is $75 million and the plant is expected to last for 20 years. This cost can be depreciated over the full 20-year life of the plant using straight line depreciation. The total salvage value of the plant is $2 million, in nominal terms, at the end of year 20 and is attributed to the original expenditure on the plant for tax purposes.
The attached table shows, in nominal dollars, the annual revenues less costs of goods sold (COGS) for the proposed metallic product line in its first operating year. Revenues and COGS are expected to grow at 4% per year in nominal terms for the first 10 years of the plant’s life and then 0% in nominal terms for the remainder of the plant’s life. In addition, the plant will be built on land that is owned by SNAP Cosmetics, which could be rented out for $500,000 per year in nominal terms before taxes during the 20 years the plant is operating.
The total working capital requirements are $10 million in the first year and are expected to remain constant in nominal terms in each subsequent year. When the plant ceases production in year 20 all the working capital can be recovered.
The rate of inflation is expected to be 2% per year for the entirety of the plant’s life. SNAP Cosmetics’ total tax rate is 40%. Its opportunity cost of capital for projects of this type is 14% in nominal terms. Assume all cash flows occur at year’s end.
Please prepare a professional written memo (including any tables, which should have appropriate labels and legends). In the first sentence of your write-up, state the NPV of the metallic cosmetic plant and whether SNAP cosmetics should build the plant. Write-up should include a graphic of the cash flows associated with the plant over time and, if necessary, carefully state any additional assumptions that you make in order to solve the problem

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
While I took occasional help for my different assignments from TheReliableTutors, I kept on wondering whether they could actually help with my MBA dissertation paper. When I first approached them, they sounded confident and they already knew what is needed to be done. That was very relieving as even before my professor told me what to be done next, the dissertation expert knew what to do. I have got an “A†in my master’s dissertation report and now I have assigned them by PhD thesis paper also.

I was clueless about the way in which I was supposed to approach my research dissertation paper till I came across the team of HwA. I was also not sure whether they could help me or not but to my surprise they started asking the right kind of questions to me. When I clarified them with my professor, she was impressed and told me that I understood the concept of the research dissertation.
Denise Hutchins Student
The precise and brief annotated bibliography submitted by the writing expert at HwA for my World Religion thesis paper was just what my professor had asked for. There was no problem in communication between the writing expert and me and the research work done was absolutely spot on.
Paul Morris Student
Finance had me completely lost and I had no idea how I was to do research for the fixed income derivatives assignment. I needed to include examples and references and I had frankly no idea how I was going to do any of it. Thanks to the online finance assignment help expert at HwA I was able to get the assignment ready with all the necessary examples and get the top grades.
Jillian Matthews Student
The corporate strategy case study which I was handed over by my professor was a bit difficult and I was not certain that I would be able to meet the standards. So I looked online for help and eventually landed here in HwA. I was thrilled to see that the experts here are all well aware of my syllabus and they did a fantastic job in providing an excellent solution.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
