A company plans to modernize its facilities in 8 years. They estimate saving $3,281 per month if they sell some of their machines now, and salvage them for $19,664. They also think 4 years from now their current $1,350 per month O & M costs will increase by 0.29 per month until they sell the rest of the machines to modernize. How much capital will they have available to modernize if they place all the savings into an account that pays them a nominal 15.42% rate, compounded 7 periods per year?

Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $318,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $1,710,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $105,000 per year until it reaches $1,185,000, where it will remain. If your required return is 13 percent, calculate the NPV today. (Do not round. intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV $ Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 If your required return is 13 percent, calculate the NPV if you wait to purchase the machine until the indicated year.

FastTrack Bikes, Inc. is thinking of developing a new composite road bike. Development will take six years and the cost is $200,000 per year. Once in production, the bike is expected to make $300,000 per year for 10 years. Assume the cost of capital is 10%. a. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity, assuming all cash flows occur at the end of each year. Should the company make the investment? b. By how much must the cost of capital estimate deviate to change the decision? (Hint: Use Excel to calculate the IRR.) c. What is the NPV of the investment if the cost of capital is 14%? Note: Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the appropriate year and that the inflows do not start until year 7.
Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $490,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $2.87 million. The cost of the machine will decline by $319,000 per year until it reaches $1.275 million, where it will remain. If your required return is 8 percent, should you purchase the machine? If so, when should you purchase it?
A firm is considering an investment in a new machine with a price of $17.6 million to replace its existing machine. The current machine has a book value of $7.3 million and a market value of $6 million. The new machine is expected to have a 4-year life, and the old machine has four years left in which it can be used. If the firm replaces the old machine with the new machine, it expects to save $7.25 million in operating costs each year over the next four years. Both machines will have no salvage value in four years. If the firm purchases the new machine, it will also need an investment of $440,000 in net working capital. The required return on the investment is 11 percent and the tax rate is 24 percent. The company uses straight-line depreciation. What is the NPV of the decision to purchase a new machine? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.) What is the IRR of the decision to purchase a…

A small northern California consulting firm wants to start a recapitalization pool for replacement of network servers. If the company invests $14,000 at the end of year 1 but decreases the amount invested by 5% each year, how much will be in the account 5 years from now? Interest is earned at a rate of 12% per year. Five years from now, the account will have $.
Suppose we are thinking about replacing an old computer with a new one. The old one cost us $1,620,000; the new one will cost, $1,949,000. The new machine will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will probably be worth about $405,000 after five years. The old computer is being depreciated at a rate of $336,000 per year. It will be completely written off in three years. If we don't replace it now, we will have to replace it in two years. We can sell it now for $531,000; in two years, it will probably be worth $153,000. The new machine will save us $363,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate is 23 percent, and the discount rate is 10 percent. a-1. Calculate the EAC for the the old computer and the new computer. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.

Amphenol manufactures motor power connectors and is considering upgrading the production equipment to reduce costs over a 6-year planning horizon. The company can invest $80,000 now (year 0), 1 year from now, or 2 years from now. Depending on when the investment is made, the savings will vary. The savings estimates are $25,000, $26,000, and $29,000 per year for investing now, year 1, and year 2, respectively. If the company’s MARR is 20% per year, use an FW analysis to determine if the timing of the investment will return at least 20% per year.
