A new machine is to be purchased for $200,000. The company believes it will generate $75,000 annually in revenue due to the purchase of this machine. The company will have to train an operator to run this machine and this will result in additional labor expenses of $25,000 annually. The new machine will be depreciated using 5 years MACRS, even though the life of the project is 7 years, and the salvage value is estimated to be $0 at the end of year 7. The tax rate is 40% and the company's MARR is 15%.

What is the machine's after - tax salvage value? Tax rate is 21%. Question 1 options: $1, 635.24 $2, 314.05 $142,000.00 - $2,784.62$289.26
Commercial Hydronics is considering replacing one of its larger control devices. A new unit sells for $32,000 (delivered). An additional $4,000 will be needed to install the device. The new device has an estimated 18-year service life. The estimated salvage value at the end of 18 years will be $2,000. The new control device will be depreciated as a 7-year MACRS asset. The existing control device (original cost = $15,000) has been in use for 9 years, and it has been fully depreciated (that is, its book value equals zero). Its scrap value is estimated to be $2,500. The existing device could be used indefinitely, assuming the firm is willing to pay for its very high maintenance costs. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. The new control device requires lower maintenance costs and frees up personnel who normally would have to monitor the system. Estimated annual cash savings from the new device will be $5,000. The firm's cost of capital is 10 percent. What is the NPV?

Nguyen Inc. is considering the purchase of a new computer system (ICX) for $140,000. The system will require an additional $20,000 for installation. If the new computer is purchased it will replace an old system that has been fully depreciated. The new system will be depreciated over a period of 8 years using straight-line depreciation. If the ICX is purchased, the old system will be sold for $20,000. The ICX system, which has a useful life of 8 years, is expected to increase revenues by $31,000 per year over its useful life. Operating costs are expected to decrease by $3,000 per year over the life of the system. The firm is taxed at a 40 percent marginal rate. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. A. what investment is required to acquire the ICX system and replace the old system? B. compute the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of the ICX system.
Ralph’s Bow Works (RBW) is planning to add a new line of bow ties that will require the acquisition of a new knitting and tying machine. The machine will cost $1.3 million. It is classified as a 7-year MACRS asset and will be depreciated as such. Interest costs associated with financing the equipment purchase are estimated to be $50,000 per year. The expected salvage value of the machine at the end of 10 years is $80,000. The decision to add the new line of bow ties will require additional net working capital of $55,000 immediately, $30,000 at the end of year 1, and $10,000 at the end of year 2. RBW expects to sell $370,000 worth of the bow ties during each of the 10 years of product life. RBW expects the sales of its other ties to decline by $23,000 (in year 1) as a result of adding this new line of ties. The lost sales level will remain constant at $23,000 over the 10-year life of the proposed project. The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $70,000 per year.…

Lowell Inc. is thinking about replacing an old computer with a new one. The new one will cost $1,000,000 and will have a life of FOUR years. The new computer qualifies as 5-year MACRS property. Years 1 2 3 4 Depreciation rate 20% 32% 19% 12% It will probably be worth about $330,000 after FOUR years. The old computer is being depreciated at a rate of $100,000 per year. It will be completely written off in FOUR years, at that time it will have zero resale value. We can sell it now for $410,000 after taxes. The new machine will save us $200,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate (federal plus state) is 25 percent and WACC is 8 percent. What is the TOTAL FREE CASH FLOW FOR YEAR 4? Free cash flow = Total Initial Investment + Total annual project CF + Total Salvage Value 480,000 467,500 445,000 422,500
