The Hub Store at a university in eastern Canada is considering purchasing a self-serve checkout machine similar to those used in many grocery stores and other retail outlets. Currently the university pays part-time wages to students totalling $58,000 per year. A self-serve checkout machine would reduce part-time student wages by $38,000 per year.

You are thinking about buying a printing press today that will print t-shirts for many years including the celebration of a Men's Basketball National Championship. The machine will cost $25mm to buy and $2mm to install today. For working capital, assume that you must immediately have an increase in accounts receivable of $10mm, an inventory increase of $15mm and an accounts payable increase of $4mm. You will use the machine for regular printing jobs; these jobs will produce $10mm of positive after-tax cash flow per year (assume the cash flows start after one year and end after 20 total years). The victory will produce a special one time extra after-tax cash flow of $16.125mm in 2025 (four years from now) because of the National Championship. Your WACC is 12%. Your tax rate is 25%. At the end of 20 years, you shut down (and sell) the machine for $10mm and liquidate the working capital. Assume the machine had been depreciated to a tax value of $4mm. What is the NPV of the…
Your factory has been offered a contract to produce a part for a new printer. The contract would last for three years, and your cash flows from the contract would be $4.91million per year. Your upfront setup costs to be ready to produce the part would be $7.93 million. Your discount rate for this contract is 7.6%. What is the IRR?____________________% (Round to 2 decimal places) The NPV is $4.82 million, which is positive so the NPV rule says to accept the project. Does the IRR rule agree with the NPV rule? _______________________
