A drug store is looking into the possibility of installing a "24/7" automated prescription refill system to increase its projected revenues by $20,000 per year over the next 5 years. Annual expenses to maintain the system are expected to be $5,000. The system will have no market value at the end of its 5-year life, and it will be depreciated by the SL method. The store's effective income tax rate is 40%, and the after-tax MARR is 12% per year. What is the maximum amount that is justified for the purchase of this prescription refill system? (Calculate the Maximum P)

Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $540,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will be worth $68,000 at the end of that time. You will be able to reduce working capital by $93,000 (this is a one-time reduction). The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return on the project is 9 percent. If the pretax cost savings are $150,000 per year, what is the NPV of this project?

The Oviedo Company is considering the purchase of a new machine to replace an obsolete one. The machine being used for the operation has a book value and a market value of zero. However, the machine is in good working order and will last at least another 10 years. The proposed replacement machine will perform the operation so much more efficiently that Oviedo's engineers estimate that it will produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings) of $6,000 per year. The after-tax cost of the new machine is $30,000, and its economic life is estimated to be 10 years. It has zero salvage value. The firm's WACC is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Oviedo buy the new machine? Oviedo (should or Should not) purchase the new machine.
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $46,000 to transport and install the machine.

You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine? The free cash flow for year 0 will be $10,446,000. (Round to the nearest dollar.) The free cash flow for years 1-5 will be $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)
