note: can you help me answer the question for a, b and c?Muthusamy Curry Mills (MCM) is considering the purchase of a new milling equipment to replace an existing one that has a book value of $3,000 and can be sold for $1,500. The old machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis and its estimated salvage value 3 years from now is zero. The new machine will reduce costs (before taxes) by $7,000 per year. It has a 3-year life; with an installed cost of $14,000; and it can be sold for an expected $2,000 at the end of the third year. The new machine would be depreciated over its 3-year life using the MACRS method. The applicable depreciation rates are as follows: Year 1: 33% Year 2: 45% Year 3: 15% Year 4: 7% Assume a 40% tax rate and a cost of capital of 16%. a. The initial investment associated with the replacement of the old milling equipment by the new one is? b.

TLC Corp. is considering purchasing one of two new diagnostic machines. Either machine would make it possible for the company to bid on jobs that it currently is not equipped to do. Estimates for each machine are as follows: Original cost Estimated life Salvage value Estimated annual cash inflows Estimated annual cash outflows Machine A $78,500 8 years Net present value $ Profitability index 0 $22,200 $4,900 Machine B Machine A Which machine should be purchased? $190,100 Click here to view PV table. Calculate the net present value and profitability index of each machine. Assume a 10% discount rate. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45). For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided, e.g. 1.25124 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275. Round profitability index answers to 3 decimal places, eg. 12.521.) 8 years Calculate the net present value and…
NUBD Co. has an opportunity to acquire a new machine to replace one of its present machines. The new machine would cost P90,000, have a five year life, and no estimated salvage value. Variable operating costs would be P100,000 per year. The present machine has a book value of P50,000 and a remaining life of five years. Its disposal value now is P5,000, but it would be zero after five years. Variable operating costs would be P125,000 per year. Ignore present value calculations and income taxes. Considering the five years in total, what would be the difference in profit before income taxes by acquiring the new machine as opposed to retaining the present one?

Sunland Inc. wants to replace its current equipment with new high-tech equipment. The existing equipment was purchased 5 years ago at a cost of $122,000. At that time, the equipment had an expected life of 10 years, with no expected salvage value. The equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. Currently, the market value of the old equipment is $40,100. The new equipment can be bought for $175,880, including installation. Over its 10-year life, it will reduce operating expenses from $193,900 to $145,000 for the first six years, and from $204,800 to $191,300 for the last four years. Net working capital requirements will also increase by $20,700 at the time of replacement. It is estimated that the company can sell the new equipment for $24,900 at the end of its life. Since the new equipment's cash flows are relatively certain, the project's cost of capital is set at 9 %, compared with 15% for an average - risk project. The firm's maximum acceptable payback period is 5…
A company purchased a machine 6 years ago for $500m and a salvage value of $30m. The machine has a useful life of 18 years. Now, the company has found another machine with a price of $700m which generates $25m in cost savings and $12m in revenue. This machine has a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. If the company chooses to purchase the new equipment, it can sell the old equipment for $400m. The company's tax rate is 21% and the discount rate is 17%. Calculate the cash flow in year 0 assuming the company purchases the new equipment, calculate the incremental cash flow per year and calculate the IRR and NPV of the equipment.

The Telephone Company of America purchased a numerically controlled production machine 5 years ago for $300,000. The machine currently has a trade-in value of $70,000. If the machine is continued in use, another machine, X, must be purchased to supplement the old machine. Machine X costs $200,000, has annual operating and maintenance costs of $40,000, and will have a salvage value of $30,000 in 10 years. If the old machine is retained, it will have annual operating and maintenance costs of $55,000 and will have a salvage value of $15,000 in 10 years. As an alternative to retaining the old machine, it can be replaced with Machine Y. Machine Y costs $400,000, has anticipated annual operating and maintenance costs of $70,000, and has a salvage value of $140,000 in 10 years. Using a MARR of 15%, a cash flow approach, and a present worth comparison, determine the preferred economic alternative.
The management Biden ltd intends to replace it existing two-year-old milk scheming machine whose original cost wash. 1000,000. The machine is two years old and it has a current market value of sh 700,000. The capital budgeting analysts believe that the machine has five more years of useful life.

Neptune company plans to purchase a new machine for the expansion project. The machine’s price is RM200,000 and it would cost another RM20,000 for installation and RM 15,000 for net working capital. The company is planning to finance the machine’s cost through bank loan with an interest rate of 8% per year. The machine has an expected life of 10 years and will be depreciated using simplified straight line depreciation method. However, the project is expected to be ended in year seven. The company expect that this new machine would increase the company’s annual income of RM40,000 per year. The maintenance cost for the machine will be RM10,000 per year. Additionally, the use of this new machine is expected to reduce the defect cost by RM2,000 per year. At the end of year 7, this machine is expected to be sold at RM30,000. Assuming the tax rate is 28% and the required rate of return is 10%, find whether ABC should proceed with this planning. Justify your answer.
