Acefacto Inc., has asked for you to calculate the after-tax salvage value of an asset it plans on using in a construction project. The project will be depreciated straight line to a value of$670,000at the end of the project's and assets ten year life. Ace's marginal tax rate is32%. The firm will have to pay$8,047,675to buy the asset. You have estimated that they could sell the asset for$787,309to a Brazilian firm at the end of the project. Answer in dollars and cents.
You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The purchase price of the spectrometer including modifications is $290,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment would be sold after 3 years for $48,000. The equipment would require an $8,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $33,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$ What are the project's annual cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations.

Sheep Ranch Golf Academy is evaluating new golf practice equipment. The "Dimple- Max" equipment costs $137,000, has a 4-year life, and costs $10,600 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 9 percent. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to zero. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $10,100 at the end of the project's life, The relevant tax rate is 23 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of this equipment? (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. $ 40,871.52 X EAC
Please show proper steps.
The Cornchopper Company is considering the purchase of a new harvester. • The new harvester is not expected to affect revenue, but operating expenses will be reduced by $13,600 per year for 10 years. • The old harvester is now 5 years old, with 10 years of its scheduled life remaining. It was originally purchased for $74,000 and has been depreciated by the straight- line method. • The old harvester can be sold for $21,600 today. • The new harvester will be depreciated by the straight-line method over its 10-year life. • The corporate tax rate is 21 percent. . The firm's required rate of return is 15 percent. • The initial investment, the proceeds from selling the old harvester, and any resulting tax effects occur immediately. • All other cash flows occur at year-end. . The market value of each harvester at the end of its economic life is zero.
Paulita's Products Inc. is considering the new piece of equipment that costs P75,000. The equipment is expected to generate revenues before-tax cash inflows of P25,000 per year for five year. The equipment would be depreciated using straight-line method over its five-year useful life. Upon retirement, the machine is expected to have a market value of P8,000. The company considers the maximum impact of income taxes in all of its capital investment decisions. The company has a 35 percent income tax rate and desires an after-tax return of 12 percent on its investment. The present value of 1, end of 5 years at 12% is 0.56743 and for ordinary annuity is 3.60478. The net present value of the equipment is: c. P 21,248 b. P 4,539 a. P 7,042 d. P 5,453
Rader Railway is determining whether to purchase a new rail setter, which has a base price of $425,000 and would cost another $44,000 to install. The setter will be depreciated according to the MACRS 3-year class of assets, and it would be sold after three years for $210,000. Using the setter requires a $29,000 increase in net working capital. Although it would have no effect on revenues, the setter should save the firm $161,000 per year in before-tax operating costs (excluding depreciation). Rader's marginal tax rate is 40 percent, and its required rate of return is 12 percent. Should the setter be purchased? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Use a minus sign to enter a negative value, if any. The setter_____ be purchased because the net present value________, that is $ , is zero.
