3- Suppose a company has a lift truck but is considering purchasing a new electric lift truck that would cost $1000000 and has operating cost of $19000 in the first year. For the remaining years, operating costs increase each year by 5% over the previous year's operating costs. Ií loses 17.5% of its value every year from the previous year's salvage value. The lift truck has a maximum life of 5 years. The firm's required rate of retum is 5%. Find the economic service life of this new machine. Final answer:

The company has to borrow $80,000 which have to be repaid in two years at i=10%. The cost of operating and maintaining the machine is $40,000 per year. The machine will be needed for two years and can be sold at the end of the second year for $120,000. For depreciation purposes the straight-line depreciation method with no half-year convention applies. Find the missing values in the following tables in order to determine if this was a good investment at MARR of 14%. The company’s income tax is 40%. Your decision should be based on the PW criterion.

1. Howell Petroleum is considering a new project that complements its existing business. The machine required for the project costs $3.82 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $2.52 million per year for the next four years, after which the firm expects to sell it for $500,000. The machine is a five-year class asset and will be depreciated down to zero over five years under the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. Howell also needs to add net working capital of $200,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. The required rate of return (or discount rate) for the project is 12.5 percent. Compute the NPV, IRR, and payback period of the project. The firm’s acceptable payback period is 3 years. Is this project acceptable to the firm?
A company is considering the purchase of new testing equipment that is expected to produce 8000 profit during the first year of operation.

Elearning Company would like to develop its technology process by purchasing a production equipment for 115 million HUF. The equipment is expected to have a useful life of 4 years. Salvage value is negligible at the end of the 4th year. The estimated EBITDAS are in yearly sequence ( HUF) 32 million, 40 million, 46 million and 52 million. The company's required rate of return is 15 percent. Use trial and error to approximate the internal rate of return for this investment proposal. (Use this information to try: IRR is between 12 and 17 percent.) Answer: O % is the real profitability of the project O % is the expected profitability of the project O million Ft O unit
