Introduction

XYZ Company wants to expand its operations by introducing two new products and a new production facility. However, the facility will be rented, and the cost of the equipment will be $7,000,000. The organization encompasses a ten-year life; thus the selling price of the equipment will be $1,000,000. The final thing to look at is that the organization needs a return of 12% on investments. According to the above data are given and financial information, there will be a consideration of the recommendation of whether this is a smart investment or not.

Analysis of Financial Information

According to the information in the financial statements, the company does not support expansion at the moment. Regarding the profit creation in the forecast financial statement, there is a clear picture to the investors. $840,000 results from the 12% return on investment that fail registration on XYZ financial statements year 1,2, and 3 of investing. The organization breaks even during year four; thus the project will end up facing rejection. If allowed, the company will incur losses, which is not wish of any given investor. Besides, the estimated value of assets of $1,000,000 is not guaranteed. According to Horcher (2011), the current amount has a higher cost compared to future money.

Based on the forecasted income statement, the projected revenue after ten-years between product A and B is $56,840. The expected cost of goods sold is $23,675,993 that indicates the projected gross profit of $33, 164,007 (after 10-years). There are other expenses, which are not included under the cost of goods sold; thus the value predicted is $5,74,724, depreciation expenses at $3,350,000, and tax expenses at $7,100,255. The last projected net income after ten-years of the project is $17,339,027.

Methods of depreciation are as follows. Straight line depreciation receives the initial expense of the equipment, the value after its most significant life together with the number of years in the lifespan. Following the case of XYZ Company, straight line depreciation will be as highlighted below.

According to Marshall, McManus, & Viele (2017), the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is the method stated in the Internal Revenue Code for depreciation deduction calculations. However, 7-year depreciation of the MACRS schedule will be as shown in the table below.

The diverse with MACRS is that the company encounters huge depreciation deductions in year 1, year 2, year 3, and year4, then a small reduction in the other few years. According to Khandanova (2013), MACRS encompass full depreciation of available assets in the organization.

Risks Associated with the Investment

The XYZ Company seems to be risky for the first 3-years since it will not incur any profit until the fourth year. However, if anything emerges within those 3-years, the results will be a poor decision regarding the investment. Not until the eighth year will the actual cost of $7,000,000 required for equipment will be made up. The other significant information to be utilized when finding out the risk of new production facilities will be the real income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. However, it is an indication of how strong the financial status of the company is to enhance its expansion (Noreen, Brewer, & Garrison, 2014). The organization is making huge losses for the first three years exposing the risk of the company to expand into two new products together with investing in a production facility.

Rate of Return on Investment and Net Present Value

According to the first Appendix (Appendix A), the cash flow projected takes the cash flow 12% minus the initial investment. Regarding the needed rate of return on the investment, when the investment is subtracted from the discounted cash flow, the amount would be -$50,8883.10. However, altering the return on the investment required to 10% will make the investment amount subtracted from the discount cash flow to be $1,025,581.87.

Conclusion

At the moment, the net income forecasted indicates that product A and product B will be a considerable investment after ten years. The enormous risk will exist only in the first four years; then the following 3-years will be somehow risky since the profit makes up the investment. However, putting into consideration the forecast of the cash flows and 12% needed investment rate will lead to reduced investment. Maintaining $7,000,000, the initial investment, but changing to 10-percent of the required investment would lead to a Present Net Value of $1,025,581.87 when considering ten years. This way, there will be a considerable impact on the cash flow to pursue the new production project with the two new products.
