Having troubles with this part of the homework. Full calculation and explanations required.

Polycorp Limited Steel Division is considering a proposal to purchase a new machine to manufacture a new product for a potential three year contract. The new machine will cost $1.85 million. The machine has an estimated life of three years for accounting and taxation purposes. Installation will cost a further $105,000. The contract will not continue beyond three years and the equipmentâs estimated salvage value at the end of three years is $291,000. The tax rate is 28 percent and is payable in the year following the year in which profit is earned. An investment allowance of twenty-five percent on the outlay is available. The after tax cost of capital is 14.65%pa. Addition current assets of $96,000 are required immediately for working capital to support the project. Assume that this amount less $20000 is recovered in full at the end of the three year life of the project. The new product will be charged $139,500 of allocated head office administration costs each year even though head office will not actually incur any extra costs to manage the project. This is in accordance with the firmâs policy of allocating all corporate overhead costs to divisions. Extra marketing and administration cash outflows of $178,000 per year will be incurred by the Steel Division for the project. An amount of $149,000 has been spent on a pilot study and market research for the new product. The projections provided here are based on this work. Projected sales in the first year for the new product are 40,000 units at $142 per unit per year. Unit sales are expected to increase by 5%pa for year two and three. Cash operating expenses are estimated to be 80 percent of sales (excludes marketing and administration, and head office items). Except for initial outlays, assume cash flows occur at the end of each year (unless otherwise stated). Assume diminishing value depreciation for tax purposes.

Required

(a)   Construct a table showing net cash flow after tax (NCFAT). Use the method shown in lectures.

(b)  Calculate the NPV. Is the project acceptable? Why or why not?

(c)   Conduct a sensitivity analysis showing how sensitive the project is to operating expenses and to the cost of capital. Explain your results.

(d)  Write a short report explaining your calculation of relevant net cash flows after tax, justifying your selection of cash flows. Be sure to state clearly any assumptions made (implicit and explicit).

Write 11 pages thesis on the topic multi culture models of health and social inclusion. This essay stresses that people with learning disability are always faced with a lot of difficulties when accessing health care in the United Kingdom. One major source of difficulty is that they are unable to access relevant and adequate information regarding their problems, and the various health care agencies that have the capability of solving their problems. For instance, people who are deaf are unable to get an access to certain health care advertisements, basically because these advertisements are not able to use languages that deaf people can understand. On this note, these people might not gain an access to the health care information being passed, and thus it may compromise their health status. Life expectancy of people with learning disability is also short. For instance, in the year 1929, the life expectancy of a child who was born with a learning disability was 9 years. &nbsp.

As the discussion highlights&nbsp.in the periods of 1930s, the average death of a person living with learning disability rose to 22 years for women, and 15 years for men. However, in the current years, the average death rate for a person living with learning disability has risen to 35 years. This is still a very low age, and hence this health issue has to be tackled.&nbsp.
