Introduction
I have been asked to produce a report for management of Matteck plc in which I will evaluate the financial viability of the investment proposal. The company is considering expanding into Asia. This operation would involve the acquisition of a factory, a purchase of several new motor vehicles and a new distribution unit. The following are the estimated costs of the planned investment:
Description Cost
Factory £ 1,100,000
Motor vehicles £ 500,000
Distribution unit £ 900,000
Total £ 2,500,000
The directors have calculated that the expected revenue from the investment over the next five years is as follows:
Year
1
2
3
4
5
£ 500,000
£ 600,000
£ 700,000
£ 750,000
£ 750,000
I have been advised that any projects chosen should have an accounting rate of return at least 15% and company’s cost of capital is 10%. The cost of investment should be recovered within four years.
Assumptions
Taxation and inflation have been ignored.
Relied on the estimated supplied.
