TMA: Making Capital Investment Decisions (100 marks, 1000-1500 words)At the beginning of 2017, Jason went into retirement after serving 40 years at one of the local companies in his home town. He received a remuneration of $77,500 upon his retirement with which he is hoping to achieve his long time ambition, to invest into his own private business. He is in front of three different options:• Option 1: to start a new company (TOYEE) that manufactures toy models. Jason has carried out some research that shows there to be a market for these toy models. This will require investment in a machine that would cost $40,000, payable immediately. Sales have been estimated for the next five years. At the end of that time, Jason had estimated that the machine could be sold for $8,500.Inflows and outflows from sales of the toy models would be expected to be: Time Estimated cash flowsYear 0 -40,000Year 1 Operating Profit Before Depreciation 8,500Year 2 Operating Profit Before Depreciation 11,700Year 3 Operating Profit Before Depreciation 15,950Year 4 Operating Profit Before Depreciation 16,400Year 5 Operating Profit Before Depreciation 15,200year 5 (Salvage Value) 8,500
• Option 2: to buy 100% of the shares of an established business Revell Inc. This is well-known brand name today used by two distinct manufacturers of scale plastic models. The total value of Revell Inc. is $37,500• Option 3: to buy 100% of the shares of an established business Tamiyah Inc. This is a manufacturer of plastic model kits, radio controlled cars, battery and solar powered educational models. The total value of Tamiyah Inc. is $37,500.Based on the financial information collected for Revell Inc. and Tamiyah Inc., Jason with help of a financial Advisor came up with the following forecasts for the next5 years. The rate of return is estimated at 5%.Requirements:1. Jason has decided to start TOYEE irrespective of the other investments but still needs to analyze the viability of buying the machine. Therefore, to advise Jason on this matter, you are required to calculate the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR),thePayback, NPV and IRR to provide the financial assistance for Jason. Advise whether or not Jason should start this business.
2. To make his choice between Tamiyah and Revell, Jason needs to make a capital investment decision. Therefore he will need to analyze the two options. He needs your expertise for this task. You are required to do the following:a. Prepare a 5 year projected statement of cash flow using the indirect method for Revell Inc.b. Using the projected cash flows from part (a), calculate the Payback period,Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for Tamiyah Inc. and Revell Inc.Since these projects are mutually exclusive, based on your analysis, you need to recommend the best option for Jason.3. Research indicates that the IRR method is extremely popular even though it has shortcomings when compared to the NPV method. Why might managers prefer to use IRR rather than NPV when carrying out discounted cash flow evaluations? Use references from the E-library to answer this question.(Note: you can use excel to only calculate IRR and you must show all steps of your answers). Profit and Loss Statement for Revell Inc.
