A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $600,000. It is in Class 8 (CCA rate=20%) for CCA purposes. It will actually function for five years, at which time it will have no value. There are no working capital consequences from the investment, and the tax rate is 35%. a. What must the pre-tax cost savings be for us to favour the investment? We require an 11% return. (Hint: This one is a variation on the problem of setting a bid price.) (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) Cost savings $ 120350.41 b. Suppose the device will be worth $84,000 in salvage (before taxes). How does this change your answer? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) Cost savings $143400.10

3. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) ABC Co. is considering an investment opportunity having cash flows as described below: Project III would require a cash outlay of $10,000 now and would provide a cash inflow of $30,000 eight years from now. Required: If ABC Co. has a required rate of return of 14%, determine if the project is acceptable. Use the NPV method.
You are deciding between two mutually exclusive investment opportunities. Both require the same initial investment of $10 million. Investment A will generate $2 million per year (starting at the end of the first year) in perpetuity. Investment B will generate $1.5 million at the end of the first year and its revenues will grow at 2% per year for every year after that. a. Which investment has the higher IRR? b. Which investment has the higher NPV when the cost of capital is 7%? c. In this case, when does picking the higher IRR give the correct answer as to which investment is the better opportunity?
You are preparing to produce some goods for sale. You will sell them in one year and you will incur costs of $79,000 immediately. If your cost of capital is 7.2%, what is the minimum dollar amount you need to sell the goods for in order for this to be a non-negative NPV? The minimum dollar amount is $ (Round to the nearest dollar) COO
1. (Ignore income taxes in this problem.) ABC Co. is considering an investment opportunity having cash flows as described below: Project I would require an immediate cash outlay of $10,000 and would result in cash savings of $3,000 each year for 8 years. Required: If ABC Co. has a required rate of return of 14%, determine if the project is acceptable. Use the NPV method.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company is considering a project with a 6-year life. Your required rate of return is 14%. What is the net present value of the project?

a. What is the net present value (at the discount rate of 10%) of this project?b. Perot’s engineers have determined that spending $10 million more on development will allow them to add even more advanced features. Having a more advanced chip will allow them to price the chip $50 higher in both years ($870 for year 1 and $700 for year 2). What is the NPV of the project if this option is implemented?c. If sales are only 200,000 the first year and 100,000 the second year, what would the NPV of the project be? Assume the development costs and sales price are as originally estimated. Development cost - $1,250,000Estimated development time - 9 monthsPilot testing - $200,000Ramp-up cost - $400,000Marketing and support cost - $150,000/yrSales & Production volume - $60,000/yrUnit production cost - $100Unit price - $205Interest rate - 8%
A project costs $379 at t = 0 and generates unlevered after - tax cash flows of $50 per year forever. The project's unlevered cost of capital is 10.5%. The initial cost of the project is paid for with a combination of debt and equity. Debt contributes $77 and will earn interest at 2.0% forever. (The debt is perpetual, it never matures. Assume the debt tax shield cash flows have the same risk profile as the debt cash flows. The debt is fairly priced. All of the project NPV accrues to the equity holders.) The tax rate is 17%. What is the levered NPV of the project? (Calculate using the APV method.) Give your answer in dollars to the nearest $0.1
You are preparing to produce some goods for sale. You will sell them in one year and you will incur costs of $86,000 immediately. If your cost of capital is 6.6%, what is the minimum dollar amount you need to sell the goods for in order for this to be a non-negative NPV?
Suppose you plan on spending $100/ac on restoring a forest on bare land you plan to buy. The project is projected to yield a harvest worth $2500/ac in 30 years. After which you sell the land for $400/ac. If you want to earn at least 6% rate of return, what is your willingness to pay for the land?

BadRock Corp is evaluating a project with revenues will be $3.5 million and cash expenses will be $1.5 million while depreciation expense will be $400 000 per year, then what is the expected free cash flow per year from taking the project if the company's tax rate is 30 per cent?
Consider a project to produce solar water heaters. It requires a $10 million investment and offers a level after-tax cash flow of $1.68 million per year for 10 years. The opportunity cost of capital is 11.15%, which reflects the project's business risk. a. Suppose the project is financed with $4 million of debt and $6 million of equity. The interest rate is 7.15% and the marginal tax rate is 21%. An equal amount of the debt will be repaid in each year of the project's life. Calculate APV.
