Carol and Sam both have MARRS of 5%. How much more does Carol pay for her car per year, on average, than Sam?

Seiko's current salary is $106,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent, and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays $91,100 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $24,900. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $15,900 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis. b-1. Financially, which offer is better for Seiko on an after-tax basis? b-2. By how much is the offer better for Seiko on an after tax basis?

Ruth just graduated from college. Since she is starting her own business, it's time to upgrade from her clunker to a reliable vehicle. Ruth has the option to purchase a new car for her business at a cost of $21,528 (life of 7 years with no salvage value), estimating that it would help her bring in additional annual net operating cash flows of $10,400 over the life of the car. Determine the simple payback period and the IRR for this investment. Ruth expects her business income to be subject to a 30% tax rate. (Round simple payback perlod to 3 decimal places, eg. 15.256 and IRR to 2 decimal places, eg. 15.25%. Round Intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places, eg. 15.25) Simple payback period IRR years. %
Che-Che bought his brother a laptop 5 years ago which has a cost of around 25,000PhP. The laptop’s life span will last until 5 years. She has a friend which is a computer technician who advised her that the laptop’s life span could extend until 10 years if she could spend semi-annual maintenance of 100Php with a 10Php increase rate starting the next period of maintenance inspection.

Marsha Jones has bought a used Mercedes horse transporter for her Connecticut estate. It cost $54,000. The object is to save on horse transporter rentals.Marsha had been renting a transporter every other week for $219 per day plus $1.95 per mile. Most of the trips are 80 or 100 miles in total. Marsha usually gives Joe Laminitis, the driver, a $30 tip. With the new transporter she will only have to pay for diesel fuel and maintenance, at about $0.64 per mile. Insurance costs for Marsha’s transporter are $2,150 per year.The transporter will probably be worth $34,000 (in real terms) after eight years, when Marsha’s horse Spike will be ready to retire. Assume a nominal discount rate of 7% and a 4% forecasted inflation rate. Marsha’s transporter is a personal outlay, not a business or financial investment, so taxes can be ignored.Calculate the NPV of the investment. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Alexa bought a store two years ago for $250,000. She leased it out at $4,000 a month. Now she is considering the option to cancel the lease and use the location as a salon. About two months ago, Alexa changed the flooring of the store at a cost of $20,000. She estimates that the machinery for the salon will cost $150,000. Alexa expects the net operating cash flows to be $35,000 annually for 5 years, after which she plans to scrap the remaining inventory and retire. If she opens up this new salon, the sales from her other salon would drop by 10%. Alexa wants a return of 9% on his investment or else she would not go ahead with his plans. The $4000 leasing revenue would be included in the calculation of operating cash flows as it the opportunity cost. True False
