Integrative Case Problem<br>Capital Budgeting<br>First Republic Bancorp is considering the acquisition of a new data processing and<br>management information system. The system, including computer hardware and software,<br>will cost $1 million. Delivery and installation of the system is expected to add $100,000 to<br>this cost. To put this new system in place, the bank expects to have to make an investment<br>of $50,000 in net working capital immediately and an additional net working capital<br>investment of $25,000 at the end of year 1. The system has an expected economic life of 10<br>years. It will be depreciated as a 7-year asset under MACRS rules. Actual salvage value at<br>the end of 10 years is expected to be $100,000, and the bank plans to sell the system for its<br>salvage value at that time.<br>The new data processing system will save the bank the $190,000 fee per year that it<br>currently pays to a computer time-sharing company. Operating, maintenance, and insurance<br>costs for the system are estimated to total $50,000 during the first year. These costs are<br>expected to increase at a rate of 7 percent per year over the 10-year period.<br>First Republic plans to sell excess computer time to a number of local firms. The demand<br>function for this service during year 1 is estimated to be:<br>Q = 20,000 – 200P<br>where Q<br>number of units of computer time sold, and P =<br>price per unit of computer time<br>sold.<br>Based on an analysis of the local market for computer time, the bank feels that it can charge<br>$14 per unit of computer time. Although the bank does not anticipate changing this charge<br>over the 10-year period, it expects the quantity demanded to decline by 5 percent per year<br>after year 1. It is expected that these outside sales of computer time will cost the bank an<br>additional $40,000 per year in computer operating costs (including the salary of a computer<br>services representative to handle the new customers). These additional operating costs are<br>expected to increase at a rate of 7 percent annually over the 10-year period.<br>The bank has a marginal ordinary tax rate of 34 percent. This rate is expected to remain in<br>effect over the life of the project. First Republic uses an after-tax cost of capital of 15<br>percent to evaluate projects of this risk.
