1. Jonhson Products is considering purchasing a new milling machine that costs $100,000. The
machine’s installation and shipping costs will total $2,500. If accepted, the milling machine
project will require an initial net working capital investment of $20,000. Johnson plans to
depreciate the machine on a straight-line basis over a period of 8 years about a year ago, Jonhson
paid $10,000 to a consulting firm to conduct a feasibility study of the new milling machine.
Jonhson’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
a. Calculate the project’s net investment (NINV)
Solution and Answer:
New milling machine cost $100,000
Machine’s installation and shipping costs 2,500
Net working capital investment 20,000
Net Investment $122,500
b. Calculate the annual straight-line depreciation for the project.

Annual Depreciation Expense = Installation Cost
No. of years over which asset is depreciated
= $2,500 / 8 years
Annual Depreciation Expense = $312.5
2. A new machine costing $100,000 is expected to save the MchKaig Brick Company $15,000 per
year for 12 years before depreciation and taxes. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-
line basis for a 12-year period to an estimated salvage value of $0. The firm’s marginal tax rate is
40 percent. What are the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of this machine?
Also compute the net investment (NINV) for this project.
Annual Net Cash Flow:
Annual Depreciation = $100,000 / 12
= $8,333
NCF = (Revenues – Operation Expenses – Depreciation) (1 – Tax) + Depreciation
= ($0 – (- $15,000) - $8,333) (1 – 0.4) + $8,333
Annual Net Cash Flow = $12,333
Net Investment = $100,000

1. Use the percentage of sales forecasting method to compute the additional financing needed
by Lambrechts Specialty Shops, Inc. (LSS), if sales are expected to increase from a current level of
$20 million to a new level of $25 million over the coming year. LSS expects earnings after taxes
to equal $1 million over the next year. LSS intends to pay a $300,000 dividend next year. The
current year balance sheet for LSS is as follows:
Lambrechts Specialty Shops, Inc.
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 20X3
Cash $1,000,000 Accounts payable $3,000,000

Accounts receivable 1,500,000 Notes payable 3,000,000
Inventories 6,000,000 Long-term debt 2,000,000
Net Fixed Assets 3,000,000 Stockholders’ equity 3,500,000
Total Assets $11,500,000 Total liabilities and equity $11,500,000
All assets, except “cash”, are expected to vary proportionately with sales. Of total liabilities and
equity, only “accounts payable” is expected to vary proportionately with sales.

Expected increases in sales is $5 million over the coming year:
Earnings after tax = $1 million
Dividend payable = $300,000
Additional financing needed by Lambrechts Specialty Shops, Inc.:
Increase in Sales (percentage) = (25 - 20) / 20 = 25%
Increase in Total Assets = ($11,500,000 - $1,000,000) x 25% = $2,625,000
Increase in Accounts Payable = $3,000,000 x 25% = $750,000
Total Fund Needed = increase in total asset - increase in accounts payable
= $2,625,000 - $750,000
= $1,875,000
Internal Fund Available = Addition to Retained Earning
Addition to Retained Earning = Earnings after taxes – Dividend
= $1,000,000 - $300,000
= $700,000
Additional Fund Needed = Total fund needed - Addition to retained earnings
= $1,875,000 - $700,000
= $1,175,000
2. Prepare a cash budget for Atlas Products, Inc. for the first year of 20X2, based on the following
information.
The budgeting section of the corporate finance department of Atlas Products has received
the following sales estimates from the marketing department:
Total Sales Credit Sales

December 20X1 $825,000 $770,000
January 20X2 730,000 690,000
February 20X2 840,000 780,000
March 20X2 920,000 855,000
The company has found that, on average, about 25 percent of its credit sales are collected
during the month when the sale is made, and the remaining 75 percent of credit sales are
collected during the month following the sale. As a result, the company uses these figures for
budgeting.
The company estimates its purchases at 60 percent of next month’s sales, and payment
for those purchases are budgeted to lag the purchases by 1 month.
Various disbursements have been estimated as follows:
January February March

Wages and salaries $250,000 $290,000 $290,000
Rent 27,000 27,000 27,000
Other expenses 10,000 12,000 14,000
In addition, a tax payment of $105,000 is due on January 15, and $40,000 in dividends will
be declared in January and paid in March. Also, the company has ordered a $75,000 piece of
equipment. Delivery is scheduled for early January; and payment will be due in February.
The company’s projected cash balance at the beginning of January is $100,000, and the
company desires to maintain a balance of $100,000 at the end of each month.
