Taxes 263.5
Dividends 668.6

a. What is the operating cash flow for the Current Year?
OCF = EBIT + Dep’n – Taxes = 1,104.9 + 442 - 263.5 = 1,283.4
b. What is the amount of the net capital spending for the Current Year?
NCS = Ending FA – Beginning FA + Dep’n = 6,665.1 – 6,295.5 + 442 = 811.6
c. What is the change in the net working capital from the Previous Year to the
Current Year?
Change NWC = Ending NWC – Beginning NWC = (8,637.7 – 4,680.9) – (8,692.3 –
3,883.8) = 3,956.8 – 4,808.5 = -851.7
d. What is the cash flow from assets for the Current Year?
CFFA = OCF – NCS – Change NWC = 1,283.4 – 811.6 – (-851.7) = 1,323.5
e. What is the cash flow to creditors for the Current Year?
CF to Creditors = Interest Paid – Net new borrowings = 93.9 – (4,884.6 – 5,314.3) =
523.6
f. What is the cash flow to stockholders for the Current Year?
CF to Stockholders = Dividends paid – Net new equity raised = 668.6 – (1,486.4 –
1,617.7) = 799.9
g. What is Canadian Tire Corporation’s tax rate?
Tax rate = 263.5/1,011 = 26.06%
h. In no more than 3 sentences, what are your thoughts on Canadian Tire
Corporation’s changes in net working capital?
The negative change in NWC means that Canadian Tire ending NWC was lower than the
beginning NWC. Since current assets remained largely the same between 2015 & 2016
the increase in current liabilities is the main reason for the decrease.

b) What is the base case NPV for the project?
NPVbase = -100,000+86,300*((1-(1/((1+0.12)^2)/0.12) = 45,851.40
c) What is the worst case NPV for the project?
OCFworst = [(28.5-20.6)*13,500 – 45,450)](1-0.34) + (100,000/2)*0.34 = 57,392
NPVworst = -100,000+57,392*((1-(1/(1+0.12)^2)/0.12) = 3,004.59
d) What is the best case NPV for the project?
OCFbest = [(31.5-19.4)*16,500 – 45,450](1-0.34) + (100,00/2)*0.34 = 118,772
NPVbest = -100,000+118,772*((1-(1/(1+0.12)^2)/0.12) = 100,730.74
e) Suppose you want to conduct a sensitivity analysis for the possible changes in unit
sales. What is the IRR when the sales level equals 13,500 units?
OCFunit = [(30-20)*13,500 – 45,000](1-0.34) + (100,000/2)*0.34 = 76,400
Excel IRR formula
Year Cash Flows
0 -100,000
1 76,400
2 76,400
IRR 33.59%
f) Suppose you are interested in the project's sensitivity to unit price. What is the NPV
at a price of $29.00 per unit?
OCFprice = [(29-20)*15,000 – 45,000](1-0.34) + (100,000/2)*0.34 = 76,400
NPVprice = -100,000+76,400*((1-(1/(1+0.12)^2) = 29,119.90
g) What is the base case accounting break-even point?
Qa = (FC + D)/ (P-v)
Qa = (45,000 + 50,000)/(30-20) = 9,500
h) What is the base case cash break-even point?
Qc = FC/(p-v)
Qc = 45,000/(30-20) = 4,500
i) What is the base case financial break-even point? Ignore taxes
Qf = (FC + OCF*)/(P-v)
NPV = 0 implies 100,000 = OCF*(PVIFA 12%,2)
OCF* = 100,000*((1-(1/(1+0.12)^2)/0.12 = 59,169.81
Qf = 45,000+59,169.81/(30-20) = 10,416.98
j) What is the degree of operating leverage under the base-case scenario?
DOL = 1+FC/OCF
DOL = 1+(45,000/86,300) = 1.52
