Reese’s is planning to introduce a coconut peanut butter cup which it will produce for five years. The initial cost of equipment will be $15,000, which can be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the project. You will need $2,000 of working capital immediately and that level of working capital will be maintained throughout the life of the project (no increases or decreases). The working capital will be recovered when the project ends. Based on the results of a recently concluded test market, sales are expected to be $10,000 per year. Reese’s spent $2,000 conducting the test market. Variable costs for this new flavor are expected to be equal to 20 percent of sales, just as they are for the traditional flavor. There are no fixed costs. The new flavor is expected to cause a $1,000 drop in sales of the traditional flavor during the first year only. All cash flows should be discounted at the same rate. Determine the appropriate free cash flows to use for an NPV analysis and show the net FCF for each year on the time line below. Next, determine the WACC that Reese’s should use, and then calculate the NPV of this project. WACC: NPV:
