When considering whether to replace the equipment, which of the following costs would be relevant to the decision (select all that are correct)? O Depreciation on the old equipment. O Cost of the new equipment. O Current selling price (salvage value) of the old equipment. O Cost of wood for the wheelbarrow handles.

At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment. The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company. Price Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following: • The new equipment will have a cost of $9,000,000, and it is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. • The old machine was purchased before the new tax law, so it is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year). • The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6). The old machine has a current salvage value (at year 0) of $300,000. • Replacing the old machine will require an investment in net operating working capital (NOWC) of…

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company has a telephone system that is in poor condition. The system must be either overhauled or replaced with a new system. The following data have been gathered concerning these two alternatives: Present System Proposed New System Purchase cost when new $100,000 $110,000 Accumulated depreciation, 90,000 Overhaul cost needed now 80,000 Working capital required 50,000 Annual cash operating costs 30,000 20,000 Salvage value now of old system 10,000 Salvage value in 8 years 2,000 15,000 Your Company uses a 12% discount rate and the total cost approach to capital budgeting analysis. Both alternatives are expected to have a useful life of eight years. What is the net present value of the new system alternative? Enter your answer without dollar signs. If the NPV is negative enter with a minus sign in front.

The production manager on the Ofon Phase 2 offshore platform operated by Total S.A. must purchase specialized environmental equipment or an equivalent service. The first cost is $250,000 with an AOC of $66,000. The manager has let it be known that he does not care about the salvage value because he thinks it will make no difference in the decision-making process. His supervisor estimates the salvage might be as high as $100,000 or as low as $10,000 in 3 years, at which time the equipment will be unnecessary. Alternatively, a subcontractor can provide the service for $165,000 per year. The total offshore project MARR is 13% per year. Determine if the decision to buy the equipment is sensitive to the salvage value. The annual worth of high salvage value is $______________ 142,525 incorrect.. The annual worth of low salvage value is $_______________ 168,940 incorrect.. Decision is sensitive…
makabhai this problem, given the same data has several different answers for the NPV. Please show in excel with formulas that correct answer. TexMex Food Company is considering a new salsa whose data are shown below. The equipment to be used would be depreciated by the straight-line method over its 3-year life and would have a zero salvage value, and no new working capital would be required. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. However, this project would compete with other TexMex products and would reduce their pre-tax annual cash flows. What is the project's NPV? WACC 10.0% Pre-tax cash flow reduction for other products (cannibalization) -$5,000 Investment cost (depreciable basis) $80,000 Straight-line deprec. rate 33.333% Sales revenues, each year for 3 years $67,500 Annual operating costs (excl. deprec.) -$25,000 Tax rate 35.0%
For each of the following problems, (a) draw the cash flow diagram; (b) present clean and clear manual solutions to the problem; (c) highlight the final answer (only the final answer as required by the problem) by enclosing it within a box. A metal plating company is considering four different methods for recovering by-product heavy metals from a manufacturing site’s liquid waste. The investment costs and annual net incomes associated with each method have been estimated. All methods have an 8-year life and the MARR is 10%. Use the ERR method (and an external reinvestment rate of 12%) to determine which method should be selected. A B C D First Cost, $ 36,000 30,000 55,000 40,000 Annual Cash Flow, $/year + 5,000 + 4,000 + 10,500 + 8,000 Salvage Value, $ 2,000 1,000 0 500
Assume that Monsanto Corporation is considering the replacement of some ofits older and outdated carpet-manu facturing equipment. Its objective is to improve the efficiency of operations in terms of both speed and reduction in the number of defects. The company's finance department has compiled pertinent data to conduct a marginal cost-benefit analysis for the proposed equipment replacement. The cash outlay for new equipment would be approximately $600,000. The net book value of the old equipment and its potential net selling price add up to $250,000. The total benefits over the life of the new equipment (measured in today's dollars) would be $900,000. The sum of benefits from the remaining life of the old equipment (measured in today's dollars) would be $300,000. To Do Create a spreadsheet to conduct a marginal cost-benefit analysis for Monsanto Corporation, and determine the following: a. The marginal benefits of the proposed new equipment. b. The marg inal costs of the proposed new…
The manager of a plant that manufactures stepper drives knewthat MACRS and DDB were both accelerated depreciation methods, but out of curiosity, hewanted to know which one would provide the faster write-off in the first 3 years for equipmentthat has a first cost of $300,000, a 5-year life, and a $60,000 salvage value.(a) Use hand calculations to determine which method yields the lower book value and by howmuch.(b) Develop the complete depreciation schedules on a spreadsheet and use them to answer thequestions above.(c) Using your spreadsheet results, explain what happened to the DDB depreciation amounts foryears 4 and 5.
