  • Chemalite Inc. Essay

    ...Letter to Stockholders Dear Stockholders, 1991 has been a successful year for us and for our Company in which we have accomplished several milestones. We have managed to incorporate a solid company, Chemalite Inc., which will continue to its successful growth in the future. In the first half of 1991, our company has incurred minimal incorporation and preoperational expenses. The company invested in the main assets of the company such as machinery and inventory items which were partly purchased within this period as well as the patent for the production technique to produce Chemalites. The Company hasn't gone into production within the first half, and accordingly, hasn't earned any revenues which lead to a misleading negative outlook on our cash status. However, please note that the above mentioned incorporation and preoperational expenses should be considered as investments to our business. Thus, the $145.000 decrease recorded in the first six months shouldn't be considered as losses. The operations which have taken place in the second half of the year were the most important accomplishments we have achieved. We have gone into full operation and managed to sell $745.500 of our products, thanks to the prototypes bought in early July. These sales enabled us to further invest in our Company by enhancing our machinery and improving our inventory. In addition, we improved our marketing side by advertising our product on television and trade...

  • Pressco Inc Essay

    ...I: Statement of Financial Problem: In November 1985 Paperco was presented with the critical business decision of replacing its existing mechanical drying equipment that had been originally placed into service in 1979 with more efficient equipment provided by Pressco, Inc. The consequences of this decision would have far reaching consequences as replacing the equipment could result in cost savings up to $560,000 annually. However, there were other critical factors to address before moving forward with the project. One of the most important factors to consider was the rumored new tax legislation that would, “(1) eliminate the investment tax credit for new equipment; (2) extend depreciation lives for new equipment; and (3) reduce the corporate tax rate from 46% to 34% beginning in 1986. (Harvard, 1991)” Therefore, the financial problem facing Paperco is what is the Net Present Value (NPV) of replacing its existing mechanical drying equipment with the more efficient equipment from Pressco, assuming (1) the rumored tax legislation is enacted; (2) Paperco fails to sign the contract in time to receive the investment tax credit; and (3) the equipment is installed in December 1986. II: General Framework for Financial Analysis: “Net Present Value (NPV) is a method of ranking investment proposals using the NPV, which is equal to the present value of the project’s free cash flows discounted at the cost of capital. (Brigham, 2009)” Simply stated the NPV of a...
