The Pizza Company is considering a new three-year expansion project. The key data are shown below: 
• The company hired a consulting firm to help evaluate the project and paid the
  consulting fee of $60,000. 
• The company owns the space. If company did not invest in the project, it can receive after-tax rental fee for $300,000 per year for 3 years. However, if the company invested in the project, it will use the space for the project.  
• The fixed cost to produce pizza is required at $150,000 per year.  
• It is estimated that 50,000 units will be sold in the first year and that 40,000 units and 30,000 units will be sold in the second and third years respectively.  
• Each pizza is expected to sell for $25 and the production cost will be $15 per unit.  
• The sales price and variable cost should increase with inflation. Expected inflation rate per year is 5%. 
• The project requires an initial investment in working capital of $500,000, which will be required in each year at 10% of revenue in the following year. 
• The purchase of the machinery at the start of the project is $1,000,000. The shipping and installation cost are $200,000. The machinery will be depreciated straight-line to zero. It is estimated that the machinery can be sold at the end of the project for $250,000.  
• To finance the project, the company would need to take a one-million dollar loan at 8% interest rate p.a. from HSBC over the life of the project. Annual interest expense is $80,000. 
• The corporate tax rate is 34%.

You are evaluating two different dough mixing machines:  
• The Techron I costs $150,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $32,000 per year.  
• The Techron II costs $255,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $19,000 per year.  
For both machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $20,000. If your tax rate is 35% and your discount rate is 12%, which machine do you prefer? Why? 

Horizon Investment Corporation has 9 million shares of common stocks outstanding; 250,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding (annual preferred dividend rate of 4.5%, par value = $100); and 105,000 semiannual bonds outstanding with annual coupon rate

Note: The total for all these expenses above is $646.90

1. Office supplies on hand at December 31st are valued at $360 *(put this on the balance sheet)
2. Unexpired prepaid car insurance at December 31st is calculated at $510.95 * (put this on the balance sheet)
3. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis:
   1. The Equipment cost $9500 and was expected to last for 10 years. It was estimated that it would be worth $1500 at the end of that time.
   2. The Truck cost $19 500 and was expected to last for 5 years. It was estimated that it would be worth $3500 at the end of that time.

Hint: You need to calculate the depreciation cost for each item above

1. The Repairing Tools at December 31st are valued at $350 *(put this number on the balance sheet)
2. Under “Repairing Materials Used” on the trial balance for $25 369.20, there is still $2850 worth of materials left.

Hint:  Put this figure of $2850 on the balance sheet undeBr current assets! Then figure out the difference between what you had at the beginning subtracting what you used, and this becomes the expense for the income statement
