Assume zero taxes. The Black Gold Oil Company can lease equipment at $10,000 per year (first payment 1 year hence) for 10 years or purchased at a cost of $64,177. The company has a weighted average cost of capital of 15 percent. A bank has indicated that it would be willing to make the loan of $64,177 at a cost of 10 percent. Questions: 1. Should the company buy or lease? There are no uncertainties. The equipment will be used for 10 years. There is zero salvage value. 2. If the bank was willing to lend funds at 9 percent, should the company buy or lease? 3. If the company pays $64,177 for the equipment, it will save $10,000 a year lease payments for 10 years. 4. Comparing "Buy" versus "Lease", what internal rate of return will it earn on its "investment"? 5. Now assume a marginal tax rate of 0.4. Assume that the funds can be obtained for 0.10 at a bank. The company uses sum-of-the-years' digits depreciation for taxes. Should the firm buy or lease? (Assume that the present value of the…

The president of Real Time inc. has asked you to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new computer. The computers price is $40,000, and it falls in the MACRS-3-year class. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. Purchase of the computer would acquire an increasein net operating working capital of $2,000. The computer would increase the firms before tax revenues by $20,000 per year but would also increase operating costs by $5,000 per year. The computer is expected to be used for 4 years and then sold for $25,000. The firms marginal tax rate is 40%, and the projects cost of capital is 14%. What is the operating cash flow in year 1?
Esfandiri Enterprises is considering a new three year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.18 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The Project is estimated to generate $1.645 million in annual sales with costs of $610,000. If the tax rate is 27.00% what is the OCF per year (OCF will be the same for the three years) for this project? Group of answer choices $650,058.06 $715,063.86 $786,570.25 $865,227.27 $951,750.00
The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of $140,000. The project will produce 800 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be $133 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be $106. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 4% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. PV of future CFs: $ NPV: $…
