Kokomochi plans to spend $5.45 million on TV, radio, and print advertising this year for the campaign. The ads are expected to boost sales of the Mini Mochi Munch by $8.96 million this year and $6.96 million next year. In addition, the company expects that new consumers who try the Mini Mochi Munch will be more likely to try Kokomochi’s other products. As a result, sales of other products are expected to rise by $3.03 million each year. Kokomochi’s gross profit margin for the Mini Mochi Munch is 33%, and its gross profit margin averages 25% for all other products. The company’s marginal corporate tax rate is 30% both this year and next year. What are the incremental earnings associated with the advertising campaign?Note: Assume that the company has adequate positive income to take advantage of the tax benefits provided by any net losses associated with this campaign.Calculate the incremental earnings for year 1below:  (Round to three decimalplaces.)Year 1Incremental Earnings Forecast ($ million)Sales of Mini Mochi Munch$__________Other Sales$__________Cost of Goods Sold$Gross Profit$__________Selling, General, and Administrative$__________Depreciation$EBIT$___________Income Tax at 30%$Incremental Earnings$Calculate the incremental earnings for year 2 below: (Round to three decimal places.)Year 2Incremental Earnings Forecast ($ million)Sales of Mini Mochi Munch$__________Other Sales$__________Cost of Goods Sold$Gross Profit$__________Selling, General, and Administrative$__________Depreciation$EBIT$__________Income Tax at 30%$Incremental Earnings$QUESTION 10.Cellular Access Inc., is a cellular telephone service provider that reported net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) of $250 million for the most recent fiscal year.

In addition, new tax laws allow you to depreciate the equipment, costing $7.5 million, over three years using straight-line depreciation. Research and development expenditures total $15 million in year 0 and selling, general, and administrative expenses are $2.8 million per year (assuming there is no cannibalization).Also assume HomeNet will have no incremental cash or inventory requirements(products will be shipped directly from the contract manufacturer tocustomers). However, receivables related to HomeNet are expected to account for 15% of annual sales, and payables are expected to be 15% of the annual cost of goods sold.Under these assumptions the unlevered net income, net working capital requirements and free cash flow are shown in the Table BELOW.Using the FCF projections given:a. Calculate the NPV of the HomeNet project assuming a cost of capital of 10%, 12% and 14%.b. What is the IRR of the project in this case?a.
