A machine costs £60,000 and requires £5,000 maintenance for each year of its three-year life. The maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. After three years, the machine will be replaced. Assume a tax rate of 34 percent and a discount rate of 14 percent. If the machine is depreciated over three years using the straight-line method, with no salvage value, What is the equivalent annual cost method of capital budgeting?

The DDB Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for its factory operations at a cost of P 800,000. The investment is expected to generate P 400,000 in annual cash flows for a period of five years. The required rate of return is 10%. The old machine can be sold for P 75,000. The machine is expected to have zero value at the end of the five-year period. Disregard income taxes and depreciation. Compute for net present value of the investment.
a manufacturing company bought a new machine for $150,000. the machine will last ten years and will be depreciated using the straight-line method. the estimate salvage value of the machineis zero and should generate a yearly cash inflow of $39,000 Requirement: what is the accounting rate of return?

Master Machine Berhad is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for RM385,000 is estimated to result in RM145,000 in annual pre-tax cost savings. The press is depreciated using straight-line method of 5 years, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of RM45,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of RM20,000, along with an additional RM3,100 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the company’s tax rate is 22 percent and its discount rate is 9 percent, should the company buy and install the machine press?
A 3-year project requires the purchase of a machine (fixed asset) for $6,000 in Year 0. In Year 2, the project is expected to have net income of $2,000 and the depreciation rate is 45%. The tax rate is 35%. There is no interest expense. What is the Operating Cash Flow in Year 2? Enter your answer without the dollar sign and round your final answer to the nearest whole number (nearest dollar).
An existing machine in a factory has an annual maintenance cost of P40,000. A new and more efficient machine will require an investment of P90,000 and is estimated to have salvage value of P30,000 at the end of 8 years. Its annual expenses for maintenance and upkeep etc. is total of P 22,000. if the company expects to earn 12% on its investment, will it be worthwhile to purchase the new machine using the present worth.

A new investment project requires a purchase of a new equipment with a cost of $575,000 , which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 4-year life. The investment lasts for four years, and will bring in an annual operating cash flow of $215,000. At the end of the four years, the equipment will be sold and result in an after tax salvage value of $25,000 . The investment will require an investment of working capital of $15,000 , initially and will be fully recovered at the end of year four. Assume the discount rate is 15 percent and the tax rate is 28 percent. What is last year's cash flow from the project?
A computer system can be purchased for $18,000. The operating costs will be $10,000 per year, and the useful life is expected to be 5 years with a $5,000 salvage value at that time. The present annual sales volume should increase by $16,000 as a result of acquiring the system. Assume the company's tax rate is 50%. Using a straight-line deprecation method, compute annual taxes and IRR for the investment. Rework the previous problem assuming (i) the system's taxable life is 8 years with a salvage value of $2,000, but that (ii) the company still salvages the system after 5 years for $5,000. Describe how this may affect cash flow in the forthcoming years.
A project requires purchase of machinery for $150,000. The project generates an annual after-tax operating income of $10,000. The machine's expected useful life is 8 years with no salvage value at the end of its useful life. The required return for the project is 10%. The CCA rate for the machines is 20%. The company's marginal income tax rate is 40%. What is the PV of after-tax cash flows?
