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.

I often used to get baffled by the Theory X and Theory Y of management strategies when my friend told me to seek help from HwA. It was a great advice, I must say, because it helped me to get good grades and clear my concepts.

1.: I had used another online accounting assignment help provider earlier for one of my accounting assignments and my professor immediately found out that it was not my work. But with TheReliableTutor and their assignment help experts who are from Singapore itself I have never faced this problem and have been happily using their services for the past two semesters.
Chan Heng Chee Student
The object oriented programming languages like C++ and Java were a nightmare for me and my professor rushed off with her lectures so fast that I couldn’t catch up with the syllabus. Then once HwA started helped me out with my programming homework I got more time to understand how the things summed up.
Marissa Tan Student
Believe it or not I used to get C or D in my chemical engineering assignments. So when the chapters of distillation came I was really worried. But with the help of HwA, I started getting a B or an A. Then gradually when it came to the kinetics of solids, I passed with straight “Aâ€s"
Catherina Basch Student
The prices for the assignment help at HwA are very reasonable and the quality of electric field assignment writing that I received was of a very high quality. There is never any compromise in the quality of work by the electric field assignment experts and they are extremely professional in their approach to any kind of electric field assignment questions.

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
