HEALTHY OPTIONS INC.
Healthy Options is a Pharmaceutical Company which is
considering investing in a new production line
of portable electrocardiogram (ECG) machines for its clients
who suffer from cardiovascular diseases.
The company has to invest in equipment which costs $2,500,000
and falls within a MARCS
depreciation of 5 years, and is expected to have a scrap value of
$200,000 at the end of the project.
Other than the equipment, the company needs to increase its
cash and cash equivalents by $100,000,
increase the level of inventory by $30,000, increase accounts
receivable by $250,000 and increase
accounts payable by $50,000 at the beginning of the project.
Healthy Options expects the project to
have a life of five years. The company would have to pay for
8. transportation and installation of the
equipment which has an invoice price of $450,000.
The company has already invested $75,000 in Research and
Development and therefore expects a
positive impact on the demand for the new product line.
Expected annual sales for the ECG machines
in years one to three are $1,200,000, and $850,000 in the
following two years. The variable costs of
production are projected to be $267,000 per year in years one to
three and $375,000 in years four and
five. Fixed overhead is $180,000 per year over the life of the
project.
The introduction of the new line of portable ECG machines will
cause a net decrease of $50,000 in
profit contribution after taxes, due to a decrease in sales of the
other lines of tester machines produced
by the company. By investing in the new product line Healthy
Options would have to use a packaging
machine which the company already has and which will be sold
at the end of the project for $350,000
after-tax in the equipment market.
The company’s financial analyst has advised Healthy Options to
use the weighted average cost of
capital as the appropriate discount rate to evaluate the project.
Information about the company’s sources
of financing is provided below:
• The company will contract a new loan in the sum of
$2,000,000 that is secured by machinery
and the loan has an interest rate of 6 percent. Healthy Options
has also issued 4,000 new bond
issues with an 8 percent coupon, paid semiannually, and which
9. matures in 10 years. The bonds
were sold at par, and incurred floatation cost of 2 percent per
issue.
• The company’s preferred stock pays an annual dividend of 4.5
percent and is currently selling
for $60, and there are 100,000 shares outstanding.
• There are 300,000 million shares of common stock
outstanding, and they are currently selling
for $21 each. The beta on these shares is 0.95.
Other relevant information about the company follows:
The 20-year Treasury Bond rate is currently 4.5 percent and you
have estimated market-risk premium
to be 6.75 percent using the returns on stocks and Treasury
Bonds from 2010 to 2019. Healthy Options
has a marginal tax rate of 25 percent.
As a recent graduate of the UWIOC, The General Manager of
the company has hired you to work
alongside the Financial Controller of the company to help
determine whether the company should invest
in the new product line. He has provided you with the following
questions to guide you in your
assessment of the project and to present your findings to the
Company.
