A granite company is planning to buy a fully automated granite cutting machine. If it is purchased under down payment, the cost of the machine is ETB 16,00,000. If it is purchased under installment basis, the company has to pay 25% of the cost at the time of purchase and the remaining amount in 10 annual equal installments of ETB 2,00,000 each. Suggest the best alternative for the company using the present worth basis at i = 18%, compounded annually.

You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $100,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $57,000. The machine would require a $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $51,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 9%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. What is the initial investment outlay for the machine for capital budgeting purposes after the 100% bonus depreciation is considered, 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 during Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round…
You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $116,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $57,000. The machine would require a $4,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $48,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? Only the tax effect of the research expenses should be included in the analysis. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay. Last year's expenditure is considered…
