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

The Sunshine Corporation has to make a choice between two different solutions to its current production bottleneck. It can purchase the Superduper Model XT, which is more expensive but will have a useful life of 6 years, or it can purchase the Mediocre Model UX, which is less expensive but will only have a useful life of 3 years. The company requires a 10 percent rate of return on its investments. The Superduper’s cash flows are: Yr0 = -75, Yr1 = 10, Yr2 = 15, Yr3 = 25, Yr4 = 30, Yr5 = 25, Yr6 = 20. The Mediocre’s cash flows are: Yr0 = -50, Yr1 = 25, Yr2 = 30, Yr3 = 13. Using the replacement chain method, which of these two alternatives is better?
A corporation is considering purchasing a machine that will save $150,000 per year before taxes. The cost of operating the machine (including maintenance) is $30,000 per year. The machine will be needed for five years, after which it will have a zero salvage value. MACRS depreciation will be used, assuming a three-year class life. The marginal income tax rate is 25%. If the firm wants 15% return on investment after taxes, how much can it afford to pay for this machine? If the firm wants 15% return on investment after taxes, it can afford to pay ?.
what is the present value of the tax shield for the following project? the initial investment is $300,000. the project will last for 6 years, at which time the asset will be sold for $90,000. the asset will be depreciated on a declining balance basis at a rate of 20 percent. the firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. the firm's required rate of return is 8 percent a) 16,204.36 b) 82,539.68 c) 98,744.04 d) 66,335.32
An investment project requires an initial payment of $500,000, and then will earn a constant return of $45,000 every year forever. Is this a profitable investment project? Oyes, it is profitable O you can't tell with this information Ono, it is not profitable
martin development company is deciding whether to proceed with Project X. The cost would be $9 million in year 0, there is a 50% chance that X would be hugely successful and would generate a cash after tax flow of $6 million per year during years 1, 2 and three. however there is a 50% chance that X would be less successful and would generate only $1 million per year for the three years. If Project X is hugely successful it would open the door to another investment project why which would require an outlay of 10 million dollars at the end of year 2. project Y would then be sold to another company at a price of $20 million at the end of year 3 Martins weighted average cost of capital is 11%. A)if the company does not consider real options what is Project X expected NPV? b) What is X is expected NPV with the growth option? c)what is the value of the growth option?

3. Schultz Company is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $478,800 and have a useful life of 5 years. The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $114,000 per year. The machine would have a salvage value of $6,200. Schultz Company prefers a payback period of 3.5 years or less.Required: a. Compute the payback period for the machine. What does this mean? b. Compute the return on average investment (ROI)
A firm is considering taking a project that will produce $12 million of revenue per year. Cash expenses will be $5 million, and depreciation expenses will be $1 million per year. If the firm takes that project, then it will reduce the cash revenues of an existing project by $3 million. What is the free cash flow on the project, per year, if the firm uses a 40 percent marginal tax rate? O$2.8 million O $2.4 million 0 $4.6 million $3.4 million
Please solve it as soon as possible! . Consider an asset with an initial cost of $100,000 and no salvage value. Compute the difference in the present value of the tax shields if CCA is calculated at 20% declining balance compared to if CCA is calculated using a five-year, straight line write off. For your calculation use 30% as the tax rate and 16% as the required return. (The half-year rule applies.) The difference, to the nearest dollar, is A S1.724 B $4,129 C S4.483 d. 59,517 e.$49,969
Given the following information, what is the financial break-even point? Initial investment = $250,000; variable cost = $95; fixed cost = $58,000; price = $130; life = 6 years; required return = 12%; SL depreciation; before-tax salvage value of assets = $28,000; initial net working capital investment = $35,000, and tax rate is 21%.

A project requires an initial investment of $100,000 and is expected to produce a cash inflow before tax of $27,300 per year for five years. Company A has substantial accumulated tax losses and is unlikely to pay taxes in the foreseeable future. Company B pays corporate taxes at a rate of 21% and can claim 100% bonus depreciation on the investment. Suppose the opportunity cost of capital is 10%. Ignore inflation.a. Calculate project NPV for each company. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.) b. What is the IRR of the after-tax cash flows for each company? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 1 decimal places.)
