What was the total cash flow for capital budgeting purposes (assume an all-equity firm) for ABC, Inc., in 2021?

ABC, Inc., is a company that started its business in 2015. During that year, the company raised capital by issuing 1,000 shares of common stock at par value of $50.

ABC,  Inc. wants to produce and sell metallic screws. In order to do that, in 2015 the company bought and installed a metalworking machinery for $4,000. The machinery has a useful life of 5 years, and is depreciated over its life using straight line depreciation.

For fiscal years 2015-2020 assume the following information:

In 2015, the company buys metallic rods (raw materials) for the future production of screws. Each year, the company buys 10% of rods on credit and pays completely during the next year.

The price for the rods is $0.20 per 1 foot and is constant throughout the life of the project. You can produce 10 screws from 1 foot of the metallic rod.

Here is the amount of rods the company bought during each of the years (in feet):

2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
20,000 22000 25,000 28,000 13,500 0

 

The production process starts in 2016. It costs $4 of labor to produce 10 screws.

ABC, Inc., sells its screws in packs of ten. The price per one pack is $4.50 and does not change. 10% of sales are done on credit and cash is fully collected during the next year.

Here are production levels and sales levels for each year (in screws):

  2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
Production 210,000 215,000 220,000 225,000 215,000
Sale 207,000 210,000 216,000 220,000 208,000

 

Selling, General, and Administrative expenses are $1,000 per year and are paid cash during the same year.

Taxes are 34% and are paid during the following fiscal year. At the end of each year, investors decided to reinvest 25% of earnings and use the rest to pay a cash dividend.
