Calculation of Net Present Value, Discounted and Undiscounted Payback, Profitability Index
Question
MCL Ltd is a manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment. MCL produces milking machines and supplies as well as being the sole Australian distributor of machinery from the US- based company FarmGo Ltd. The CEO of MCL has been negotiating for some time with a German company that produces new technology equipment that assists farmers with climatic information such as recording and predicting rainfall patterns, temperature readings and historical livestock sale values. In order to become the Australian distributor of this new technology, a $300,000,000 payment would be required to secure the rights. A further $20,000 would need to be spent to secure trade names in Australia. It is expected that the unit price of the sale of the technology to farmers would be $50,000 with the cost being $38,000 per unit. The following unit sales are anticipated:
Year 1 - 6,000
Year 2 - 12,000
Year 3 - 12,000
Year 4 - 10,000
Year 5 - 6,000
The company’s Marketing Manager anticipates that a $40,000 marketing campaign would need to be undertaken in the first year in order to create the expected demand. This is based on a $12,000 study already completed by an external marketing agency. MCL’s Finance Manager has determined that the license will lead to an increase in Net Working Capital of $60,000. An ATO ruling has been gained to allow the write off of the rights and trade name payments over the 5 years for tax purposes. The cost of external assistance in gaining this ruling was $7,000. At present the company pays tax at a rate of 30 cents per dollar.
The cost of capital for the company is 12%.
(a) Calculate, showing all workings:
• Net Present Value
• Discounted and Undiscounted Payback Period
• Profitability Index
• Internal Rate of Return to 2 decimal places
(b) Write a one page memo to the CEO of MCL advising him as to whether the company should proceed with gaining the right, giving reasons for your decision.
(c) The original contract with FarmGo Ltd includes a clause requiring MCL to make a one-off payment of $70,000 to the US company if they gain any other exclusive distribution rights. Also an ongoing payment of $10,000 is required for the life of the license.
Calculate the impact of this or your analysis and write a short (1-2 paragraphs) memo to the Finance Manager on the implications of this.
Summary

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 must say that the random variable assignment experts here in HwA can surely make the numbers talk. I was given a sheet of data to analyze and honestly I had no clue whatsoever on how to approach. When I came to them they explained me the concept of discrete random variables (as the data was of an outcome of random test on some microorganism) and helped me analyze the same. My teacher at college was very impressed and since then I take help from HwA.

I was not sure on how to go ahead with my peripheral vascular diseases when I came across TheReliableTutor’s cardiovascular assignment help section. I never knew that any website had such specialized department and I was extremely thrilled. The cardiovascular nursing care experts here are very wise and provided adequate solution to the assignment. Later on also, during my course I had great help from them.

I was really stuck with the concept of pointer variables in FORTRAN programming when I came across HwA. The experts here know how to approach a particular programming assignment and have helped me get through my course with good grades.

I was totally unaware of what exactly needed to be written in the marketing plan assignment, based on the . I needed to first get an approval from my professor about the hypothetical business and a region where it needs to be promoted. When I approached TheReliableTutor I got relieved as they provided me with certain alternatives, as they are well aware of the regions of Singapore and assured me that their marketing assignment experts can care of anything my professor approves. It is needless to say that I got an A+ in the marketing plan assignment and many other assignments going forward.
