The CFO asks you to help decide whether the firm should set up a new plant to manufacture the roadster model, the Zeta Spenza. Deliverables: Write a report providing the CFO with your recommendation whether Zeta should set up the plant to produce the Spenzas and support your recommendation by in-depth analysis in Excel. In your report, explain the results of each portion of your analysis (represented by the tabs on the Excel template). Submit all the completed Excel worksheets with the completed responses to the questions posed to support your report and recommendation. Report should include a one-page Executive Summary summarizing the results of your analysis and recommendation. Project Data To assess the suitability of the project you begin by listing the various cash flows. A consultant has been paid $50,000 to do a market survey. She reports back that Zeta can price Spenzas at $80,000 per car and sell 5,000 cars next year (in year 1), then sales will peak at 7,000 in year 2 and after that they will start declining with 6,000 Spenzas sold in year 3, 4,000 in year 4, and 3,000 in year 5. After that the sales decline won't make manufacturing of Spenzas profitable. The consultant also estimates that introduction of Spenza model will cannibalize the sale of an existing model, the Zeta Monza, resulting in 1,000 fewer units of the Monza sold in each of the 5 years. Monza’s are priced at $65,000. After 5 years it is expected the Spenza will be phased out, and the plant will be put to other uses generating cash flow of $15 M annually. The cost of setting up the plant is to be $250 M with annual manufacturing capacity of 10,000 cars. It is a one-time capital investment made at the very beginning of the project. In addition, at the beginning of each year the plant will require an outlay of Net Working Capital equal to 4.75% of direct manufacturing costs (excluding labor and overheads) in the coming year. The NWC outlay will be recovered at the end of the project in year 5. The CFO provided you with historical information about Monza’s cost structure (Excel sheet attached) and noticed that Spenza will have the following differences: • • • Spenza’s body will be made from reinforced carbon, which makes the car lighter, thus significantly improving mileage range per battery charge. About 80% of the carbon cost is the cost of energy and the estimated carbon cost body per car of $14,000 is based on electricity cost of 7 cents /per kWh, which is the current cost of electricity in Michigan, where the plant will be located. This cost is 70% of the average nationwide retail electricity price. EIA nationwide electricity cost projections for future years are provided in the Excel sheet. Battery Pack cost for Spenza is $15,000 per car. Cost of materials for engine and other parts will be identical to Monza’s. • • Labor cost of $4,000 per car is based on annual production of 10,000 Spenza’s. Labor is unionized; number of workers and wages do not depend on the number of units produced. Overheads at the new plant will be identical to total overheads at the existing Monza plant. IRS allows you to straight line depreciate the cost of the plant over 4 years for tax purposes (equal depreciation in all years and not an accelerated schedule of depreciation). You have a choice to use 3 year MACRS depreciation schedule (see the Excel sheet attached) If you recommend setting up the plant, you should also consider that the plant will occupy a piece of land which the firm could put to other uses. These alternative uses would earn the firm $15 M annually. Modeling Financial Metrics and Cash Flows Depreciation You have to decide whether Zeta should set up the plant to produce the Spenza’s by answering the following series of questions. After having enumerated the various cash flows you are now ready to analyze the project using capital budgeting techniques and project analysis methods. • EBIT • What will be the depreciation for tax purposes from the investment in the Spenza plant using the straight line method? What will be the depreciation using MACRS? Which schedule would you recommend to use? What will be the costs and revenues for the first four years? What will be the incremental EBIT (Earnings before Interest and Taxes) each year? Interest and Taxes You now have to need to determine interest costs and taxes. Assume that the cost of setting up the plant will be 50% financed by debt with an interest rate of 7%. At this point you are getting closer to the cash flows the project will produce, and need to determine the tax rate. You research tax rates and determine that the appropriate tax rate after the tax reform is 21%. • What incremental taxes Zeta will pay if the Spenza plant is set up? Net Income • What will be the Net Income for Zeta from the project each year? Incremental OCF Now you can calculate the net increase in cash flows from the project. • What will be the incremental OCF (Operating Cash Flow) each year? Free Cash Flow The next step will be calculating FCF taking into account OCF and other incremental cash flows, including opportunity costs! • What will be the FCF (Free Cash Flow) each year? WACC and CAPM The next step will be estimating WACC. Using Yahoo Finance! or other financial sources available on the course website find auto-making industry’s beta, market risk premium and the risk free rate. • Estimate the WACC using the earlier assumption about the project’s financing and the CAPM equation for the cost of equity. Decision Criteria – NPV and IRR Now you are ready to calculate the first criterion that is used to assess projects. • What will be the Net Present Value of the project? You should also calculate another widely used criterion. • What will be the IRR of the project? Analyzing Risk using Scenario Analysis You consider the electricity cost and projected sales volume as two major factors affecting your variable costs and revenues. Therefore, you would like to perform some additional analysis to check the project’s sensitivity to electricity costs and to sales volumes. You want to analyze these two factors separately, one at a time. As was mentioned EIA has several electricity cost projections (Excel sheet, tab Energy Prices Forecast). First you decide to see how your recommendations might change under different cost scenarios. • Perform scenario analysis on the electricity cost and present the summary of results. Given uncertainty of sales volume forecast, you would like to look at optimistic and pessimistic scenarios for sales. Optimistic scenario assumes sales volume to be 500 cars more than predicted (i.e., 5,500 cars in year 1, 7,500 in year 2 etc.). Pessimistic scenario assumes sales volume to be 500 cars less than predicted (i.e., 4,500 cars in year 1, 6,500 in year 2 etc.). • Run scenario analysis on the sales volume and present the summary of results. Break-even Analysis Next, you would like to find the maximum electricity cost in year 1 at which the project would still be advisable. For simplicity assume 0.5% annual growth of electricity costs. • Find the break-even value for the electricity cost in year 1. Monte Carlo Simulation Finally, you would like to perform a Monte Carlo simulation. Possible distribution assumptions are provided in Excel Spreadsheet tab “Crystal Ball Simulation,” but you are welcome to make (and explicitly state) your own and use Random Numbers generator in Data Analysis Pack. • Based on your analysis, what is the probability that the project will be profitable? [Crystal Ball] You also want to estimate the sensitivity of your project to different factors Zeta Spenza Project Given Monza's sales Monza's price 10,000 $65,000 Monza Cost structure per car Body materials $11,000 Engine $4,000 Drivetrain $6,000 Battery Pack $20,000 Electronics $5,000 Labor (allocated) $4,000 Overhead (allocated) $2,000 Consulting Fees Spenza Price Base Case Scenario Optimistic Scenario Pessimistic Scenario $50,000 $80,000 Spenza Sales projections (number of cars) Year 1 Year 2 5,000 7,000 5,500 7,500 4,500 6,500 Plant Investment Alternative Land Use Plant Capacity Depreciation period Percentage of Debt Financing Interest Rate Tax rate NWC as % of direct manufacturing costs Monza Sales Cannibalization Historical Electricity Cost Carbon Body Cost per Car Percentage of electricity Electricity used per car Other Spenza direct costs MACRS Schedule year 1 year 2 year 3 year 4 Year 3 6,000 6,500 5,500 $250 Mil $15 Mil 10,000 cars 4 years 50% 7% 21% 4.75% 1,000 cars $0.07 per kWh 70% of national average if in table you have $14,000 In Michian 80% 160,000 kWh Body materials (other than electricity) Engine Drivetrain Battery Pack Electronics Straight-Line depreciation MACRS Depreciation Recommendation Sales Volume (number of cars) Projected electricity cost (per kWh) Revenues Direct Costs Body materials(electricity only) Body materials (other than electricity) Engine Drivetrain Battery Pack Electronics Total Direct Costs Fixed Costs Labor Overheads Depreciation EBIT Interest EBT Taxes Net Income $2,800 $4,000 $6,000 $15,000 $5,000 Solution Choosing Depreciation Year 1 Year 2 $62.5 Mil $62.5 Mil $82.5 Mil ######## Year 3 $62.5 Mil $37.5 Mil MACRS depreciation is recommended because it quickly depreciates the pla generating a greater tax benefit to Zeta as a higher depreciation expense eq income which equals less income tax.

Jane knows that means she has a prognosis of death within 6 months period of time. Jane is bathing Jessie and asks her if she has contacted her church to talk with her pastor or priest. Jessie tells her that she does not belong to a church, and Jane asks her if she wants to have the hospital chaplain come to visit her. Jessie tells her, "No, I do not want to talk to the chaplain." Jane persists saying that everyone who is approaching death wants to make things right with God. Jessie tells her that she does not believe in God and does not follow any religious faith. Jane ends the discussion by saying, "Oh, that's too bad. I feel sorry for you." -How has Jane failed to be therapeutic with Jessie? -How do you imagine Jessie felt about this conversation?                                                                                                 Question 2. You are caring for a new group of patients in the nursing home, and one of your team members, a CNA, tells you that Julia in room 40B is having aching in her knees and would like something for pain. You check the medication record and see she has Tylenol 650 mg PO ordered every 4-6 hours for pain. She has not received any pain medication for several days. You obtain the medication and enter room 40. You go to bed B and say, "Hello, Julia, here's your pain medication." You give her a cup of water and she swallows the Tylenol. Later on the CNA returns and reminds you that Julia is still asking for her pain medication. You check the MAR, look at the photo of Julia, and realize you have given Tylenol to her roommate instead. You have made a medication error, and it requires a written medication error report, to make a call to her doctor, and notification to your supervisor. You look at her roommate's medical record and find that she, too, has an order for Tylenol. You decide to give Tylenol to Julia and then document that you gave Tylenol to both Julia and her roommate. After all, no harm will occur to either patient. -What rationalizations might you have used to come to the decision you did regarding this medication error? -If a nurse has an obligation to do good and no harm and your actions produced no harm, have you behaved unethically? -Have you ever rationalized doing something that you knew was not the right thing?
