13.5 The Effect of Working Capital on Capital Budgeting

1) The Hannibal Homers minor league baseball club is considering an expansion of its stadium

to increase capacity by 2,000 seats. Management estimates increased revenue from ticket and

concession sales to be $600,000 per year for the next 5 years. The cost of expansion is $750,000,

with an additional $50,000 in working capital. The working capital increase is permanent (will

not be recovered after 5 years). Annual costs are expected to be $200,000 per year, the club’s cost

of capital is 14%, and its tax rate is 30%. If the stadium addition is depreciated in a straight line

to a value of $0.00 over 5 years, what is the NPV of this project (rounded to the nearest dollar)?

(Ignore any revenues or costs associated with a terminal value of the project after five years.)

A) $165,751

B) $365,751

C) $315,751

D) $1,115,751

2) The Hannibal Homers minor league baseball club is considering an expansion of its stadium

to increase capacity by 2000 seats. Management estimates increased revenue from ticket and

concession sales to be $600,000 per year for the next 5 years. The cost of expansion is $750,000,

with an additional $50,000 in working capital. The working capital increase is permanent (will

not be recovered after 5 years). Annual costs are expected to increase by $200,000 per year, the

club’s cost of capital is 14%, and its tax rate is 30%. If the stadium addition is depreciated in a

straight line to a value of $0.00 over 5 years, what is the IRR of this project? (Ignore any

revenues or costs associated with a terminal value of the project after five years.) Use a financial

calculator to determine your answer.

A) 9.41%

B) 14.00%

C) 25.33%

D) 29.45%

3) With the economy in full recovery, Treble Piano Manufacturing is considering a plant

expansion. Its initial capital cost (not including working capital) is $750,000, expected after-tax

operating cash flow is $225,000 per year for five years, and the recovery of capital assets after

five years is $75,000. If this project has a required rate of return of 15% and the initial cost of

working capital is $100,000, should the firm expand? (Assume that the $100,000 of working

capital is recovered in Year 5 at the end of the project life. Compute the NPV to support your

decision.)

A) Yes, because the NPV = $8,759

B) No, because the NPV = -$850,000

C) No, because the NPV = -$8,759

D) Yes, because the NPV = $858,759

4) With the economy in full recovery, Treble Piano Manufacturing is considering a plant

expansion. Its initial capital cost (not including working capital) is $750,000, expected after-tax

operating cash flow is $225,000 per year for five years, and the recovery of capital assets after

five years is $75,000. There is also a $100,000 increase in working capital at the beginning of the

project that is recovered in whole at the end of the life of the project in Year 5. If this project has

a required rate of return of 15%, what is its IRR? Use a financial calculator to determine your

answer.

A) 12.60%

B) 13.60%

C) 14.60%

D) 15.60%

5) Of the following items, which would be considered working capital as opposed to a capital

asset?

A) Disposable parts that aid in installation and are shipped with each sale

B) A CAD/CAM machine used in the manufacturing process

C) An addition to the existing building designed to facilitate a new product line

D) None of the above are working capital assets.

6) When a new project or business begins, it is NOT necessary to consider the funding of the

working capital that is part of the project.

7) Working capital does NOT depreciate like capital assets.

8) Typically, changes in net working capital are considered in the estimation of cash flows

associated with a new project.

9) Changes in working capital are considered insignificant and thus ignored when considering

capital projects.

10) Bacon Signs plans a major retooling of their manufacturing plant. The equipment has an

initial capital cost of $5,000,000 but would increase operating cash flow by $1,500,000 each year

for five years. The equipment could be sold for a net cash flow of $1,000,000 in five years. If the

hurdle rate is 14%, and the permanent increase in working capital is $500,000, should the firm

purchase the equipment?

11) Explain why working capital is “recaptured” when a project draws to a close.
