A large profitable corporation is considering a capital investment of $50,000. The equipment has a projected salvage value of $0 at the end of the two-year project period. The annual gross income each of the next two years is projected to be $44,000 and expenses are projected to be $14,000 annually. The depreciation amount will be $25,000 annually. This profitable corporation has an incremental income tax rate of 25% and the MARR is 10%. The corporation has decided to use borrowed capital to finance a portion of the equipment purchase. It will pay $30,000 down and finance the balance, to be repaid in two equal end-of-year $16,134.15 payments. The interest payment in Year 1 is $1500. The projections are based on current economic conditions without consideration of price or cost escalations. Nevertheless, a general inflation rate of 4% is expected, and it is anticipated that all future costs and revenues will react to this inflation. Determine the before-tax CF (including borrowed capital, in actual dollars) for Year 1 (only).

H. Cochran, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.15 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 $2.23 million in annual sales, with costs of $1.25 million. Assume the tax rate is 23 percent and the required return on the project is 14 percent. What is the project's NPV? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Net present value
Gluon Incorporated is considering the purchase of a new high pressure glueball. It can purchase the glueball for $40,000 and sell its old low-pressure glueball, which is fully depreciated, for $6,000.
