The remaining useful life of the old machinery is also 5 years. The old machinery can be sold now for $500,000. Onthe other hand, the new machinery has a resale value at the end of year 5 amounting to 10% of its cost. The annual cash savingsfrom operations when the new machinery is used is $200,000.Assuming a discount rate of 10%. Compute the net present value if the company will replace the old machinery.$ 132,6684$ 178,160$ (367,332)$ (167,332)

A delivery car had a first cost of $36,000, an annual operating cost of $16,000, and an estimated $3500 salvage value after its 6-year life. Due to an economic slowdown, the car will be retained for only 3 years and must be sold now as a used vehicle. At an interest rate of 14% per year, what must the market value of the used vehicle be in order for its AW value to be the same as the AW if it had been kept for its full life cycle? The market value of the used vehicle is determined to be $ .

Your company has purchased a new piece of equipment for $1,000,000 and the equipment has a useful life of 5 years and uses the straight-line method of depreciation. It is estimated that labor costs and maintenance costs will be reduced by $500,000 per year for the next 5 years. Your company has a hurdle rate of 10%. Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) for the equipment purchase. a) $895,000 b) $735,000 c) $525,000 d) $1,000,000 I got option a, I also think this is correct.
Rockyford Company must replace some machinery that has zero book value and a current market value of $1,800. One possibility is to invest in new machinery costing $40,000. This new machinery would produce estimated annual pretax cash operating savings of $12,500. Assume the new machine will have a useful life of 4 years and depreciation of $10,000 each year for book and tax purposes. It will have no salvage value at the end of 4 years. The investment in this new machinery would require an additional $3,000 investment of net working capital. (Assume that when the old machine was purchased, the incremental net working capital required at the time was $0.) If Rockyford accepts this investment proposal, the disposal of the old machinery and the investment in the new one will occur on December 31 of this year. The cash flows from the investment are expected to occur over a four-year period. Rockyford is subject to a 40% income tax rate for all ordinary income and capital gains and has a 10%…
Lowell Inc. is thinking about replacing an old computer with a new one. The new one will cost $1,000,000 and will have a life of FOUR years. The new computer qualifies as 5-year MACRS property. Years 1 2 3 4 Depreciation rate 20% 32% 19% 12% It will probably be worth about $330,000 after FOUR years. The old computer is being depreciated at a rate of $100,000 per year. It will be completely written off in FOUR years, at that time it will have zero resale value. We can sell it now for $410,000 after taxes. The new machine will save us $200,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate (federal plus state) is 25 percent and WACC is 8 percent. What is the TOTAL FREE CASH FLOW FOR YEAR 4? Free cash flow = Total Initial Investment + Total annual project CF + Total Salvage Value 480,000 467,500 445,000 422,500
