Guthrie Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 205,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. It will cost $2,600,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. You estimate that in five years this equipment can be salvaged for $215,000. Your fixed production costs will be $700,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $9.47 per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $370,000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and you require a 13 percent return on your investment, what bid price per carton should you submit? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |

To solve the bid price problem presented in the text, we set the project NPV equal to zero and found the required price using the definition of OCF. Thus the bid price represents a financial break-even level for the project. This type of analysis can be extended to many other types of problems. Martin Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 140,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve...
