3 Book P10-17 Project Evaluation [LO1] Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $1,424,500 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It will be worth $138,600 at the end of that time. You will be able to reduce working capital by $192,500 (this is a one-time reduction). The tax rate is 24 percent and your required return on the project is 18 percent and your pretax cost savings are $555,550 per year. a. What is the NPV of this project? rences NPV b. What is the NPV if the pretax cost savings are $400,000 per year? NPV

A3 8avi You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $680,000, have a four-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 100 units per year, price per unit will be $19,000, variable cost per unit will be $14,000, and fixed costs will be $150,000 per year. The required return on the project is 15%, and the relevant tax rate is 35%. Ignore the half-year rule for accounting for depreciation.                            a. Calculate the following six numbers for this project. Round your answers to two decimal places. (vi) Average Accounting Return (AAR in %)                                                           Hint: Net Income = {[(Price – variable cost)*Quantity Sold] – Fixed Costs – Depreciation} * (1 – Tax rate)

Q. 3 The cost of a replacement packaging machine is $95,000. The machine is anticipated to reduce the packaging costs by $20 per parcel. The_purchasing company is expected to yield an output of 25,000 parcels per year. The salvage value of the machine is anticipated to be $23,000 at the end of 10 years. What is the present worth of the machine if the after-tax MARR is 10%, the CCA rate is 20%, and the tax rate is 40%?

6.7          Project Evaluation Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $575,000 com-puter based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It will be worth $60,000 at the end of that time. You will save $176,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $80,000 (this is a one-time reduction). If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the IRR for this project?
