CASO: HANSSON PRIVATE LABEL, INC.: EVALUATING AN INVESTMENT IN EXPANSION (38)


Student Assignment:
  1. How would you describe HPL and its position within the private label personal care industry? Consider HPL’s size, growth, profitability and capital structure relative to its “peer” group. 
  2. Using the assumptions made by the Executive VP of Manufacturing, Robert Gates, estimate the projects potential free-cash-flows (FCFs). Are Gates’ projections realistic?  If not, what changes might you suggest be incorporated? 
  3. Using CFO Sheila Dowling’s projected weighted-average-cost of capital (WACC) schedule, what discount rate would you choose? What flaws, if any, might be inherent in using the WACC as the discount rate? 
  4. Estimate the project’s net present value. Would you recommend that Tucker Hansson proceed with the investment?  If yes, why?  If no, why not?
