Let's **break down the Excel solution** and formulas step by step, so you can **copy-paste directly into Excel**. --- ### **1. Input Data Section** | Variable | Value | |---------------------------|-----------| | Units per Year | 650,000 | | Current Cost per Bird | $8.00 | | New Cost per Bird | $7.00 | | Current Shipping per Bird | $1.00 | | New Shipping per Bird | $1.25 | | Selling Price per Bird | $12.00 | | Increase in Inventory | $45,000 | | Land Cost | $200,000 | | Building & Equipment Cost | $350,000 | | Annual Labor Expense | [see scenario] | | Depreciation Period | 5 | | Salvage Value (for Depr.) | $100,000 | | Tax Rate | 25% | | WACC | 12% | --- ### **2. Initial Outlay Calculation** **Formula for Initial Outlay:** ``` =Land Cost + Building & Equipment Cost + Increase in Inventory ``` **In Excel:** ``` =B8+B9+B7 ``` --- ### **3. Annual Cash Flow Calculation (Years 1-5)** #### **Revenues and Costs:** | Description | Formula | |--------------------|------------------------------------------------| | Revenue | =Units per Year * Selling Price per Bird | | Cost of Goods Sold | =Units per Year * New Cost per Bird | | Shipping Cost | =Units per Year * New Shipping per Bird | | Labor | =Annual Labor Expense (scenario-based) | | Depreciation | = (Building & Equipment Cost - Salvage Value) / Depreciation Period | #### **Operating Cash Flow (OCF) Calculation:** ``` OCF = (Revenue - COGS - Shipping - Labor - Depreciation) * (1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation ``` **In Excel (Assume annual labor in cell B15):** ```excel = ((B2*B6) - (B2*B4) - (B2*B11) - B15 - Depreciation) * (1 - B14) + Depreciation ``` Where - B2 = Units per year - B6 = Selling price - B4 = New cost per bird - B11 = New shipping - B15 = Labor expense (from scenario) - Depreciation = (B9-B13)/B12 - B14 = Tax rate --- ### **4. Terminal Cash Flow (Year 5)** Terminal Cash Flow includes: - Salvage value of buildings & equipment (after-tax) - Salvage value of land (no tax) - Recovery of working capital (inventory) **Tax on Salvage Value (for buildings):** ``` Tax on Salvage = (Actual Salvage - Book Salvage) * Tax Rate ``` Book Salvage = $100,000 (used for depreciation) Actual Salvage = Scenario-based **Terminal Cash Flow Formula:** ``` = Actual Salvage Value of Buildings + Salvage Value of Land + Recovery of Inventory - Tax on Salvage ``` --- ### **5.

Terminal Cash Flow** **Tax on Salvage:** ```excel = (F15 - $B$11) * $B$12 ``` **Terminal CF:** ```excel = F15 + G15 + $B$7 - ((F15 - $B$11) * $B$12) ``` > Place terminal CF in cell K15 #### **6. NPV (Net Present Value)** ```excel = -H15 + NPV($B$13, J15*{1,1,1,1}, (J15+K15)) ``` > Or, using Excel's NPV function for years 1-4, then add year 5 + terminal: ```excel = -H15 + NPV($B$13, J15, J15, J15, J15, J15+K15) ``` > Place in cell L15 #### **7. PI (Profitability Index)** ```excel = (NPV + Initial Outlay) / Initial Outlay ``` ```excel = (L15 + H15) / H15 ``` > Place in cell M15 #### **8. IRR** ```excel = IRR({-H15, J15, J15, J15, J15, J15+K15}) ``` > Place in cell N15 #### **9. MIRR** ```excel = MIRR({-H15, J15, J15, J15, J15, J15+K15}, $B$13, $B$13) ``` > Place in cell O15 #### **10. Payback Period & Discounted Payback** > For **Payback**, sum the cash flows until you offset the initial outlay. > For **Discounted Payback**, discount each cash flow at the WACC, then sum until you reach zero. #### **Discounted Cash Flow (Year n):** ```excel = J15 / (1+$B$13)^n ``` > For years 1 to 4 ```excel = (J15+K15) / (1+$B$13)^5 ``` > For year 5 --- ## **Sample Excel Table Setup** | | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | |---|-------------|------------|------------|-----------|-----------|-------------|-----------|-----------|--------|--------|--------|--------| |14 | Scenario | Labor Exp. | Salv Bldg | Salv Land | Init Out. | Depr. | OCF (1-4) | Term CF | NPV | PI | IRR | MIRR | |15 | Best | 200,000 | 150,000 | 300,000 | [=B8+B9+B7] | [=($B$9-$B$11)/$B$10] | [OCF] | [Term CF] | [NPV] | [PI] | [IRR] | [MIRR] | |16 | Expected | 250,000 | 100,000 | 200,000 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | |17 | Worst | 350,000 | 20,000 | 40,000 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | --- ### **Tip:** After setting up, **drag formulas for each scenario** (Best, Expected, Worst). --- ## **If you need a ready-to-copy Excel sheet with the formulas, let me know!** If you want, I can also provide you with a downloadable sample file.
