Prepare a report base on the following case study:
Motofest Event is a unique blend of motorsport demonstrations, static displays, live music and anything else with a connection to Coventry and transport. In light of the success of the Motofest Event in the spring of 2019, the Organizers have decided to hold the event in spring, 2020. The Event project will include track a demonstration of cars, static displays and a live music concert. A Business Case has been prepared and a budget of £300K has been approved by the Motofest Project Board. The project is to be completed within 3 months

EVALUATION OF A NEW OFFICE MACHINE

/in /by

The Cosmo K Manufacturing Group currently has sales of $1,400,000 per year. It is considering the addition of a new office machine, which will not result in any new sales but will save the company $105,500 before taxes per year over its 5-year useful life. The machine will cost $300,000 plus another $12,000 for installation. The new asset will be depreciated using a modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) 5-year class life. It will be sold for $25,000 at the end of 5 years. Additional inventory of $11,000 will be required for parts and maintenance of the new machine. The company evaluates all projects at this risk level using an 11.99% required rate of return. The tax rate is expected to be 35% for the next decade.

TASKS:
Answer the following questions:

What is the total investment in the new machine at time = 0 (T = 0)?
What are the net cash flows in each of the 5 years of operation?
What are the terminal cash flows from the sale of the asset at the end of 5 years?
What is the NPV of the investment?
What is the IRR of the investment?
What is the payback period for the investment?
What is the profitability index for the investment?
According to the decision rules for the NPV and those for the IRR, is the project acceptable?
Is there a conflict between the two decision methods? If so, what would you use to make a recommendation?
What are the pros and cons of the NPV and the IRR? Explain your answers.

Bowral (see Map in Figure 1) is the largest town in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. Its current population is about 13,000. In a past era, Bowral served as a rural summer retreat for the elite gentry of
Sydney similar to The Hamptons for wealthy New Yorkers, resulting in the establishment of many grand historic estates and manor houses in the district. Today, Bowral is often associated with the cricketer Sir Donald Bradman.
It is proposed that a new fertilizer factory will be established in Bowral. Due to this new industry, it is expected that Bowral’ population will be 20,000 in 2020, and then it will grow at 10% rate per year.
You need to design a water supply system for Bowral based on groundwater, supplemented by wastewater recycling that can cater the city till 2070 without any major upgrade of the water supply system.
Identify the components of the above water supply project and design these components, and prepare a
project report following the criteria provided in the Learning Guide of the Unit.
