A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $610,000. 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 10% 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 $94,000 b. Suppose the device will be worth $85,000 in salvage (before taxes). How does this change your answer? (Do not round your intermediate calculations Round the fins

Sunshine Smoothies Company (SSC) manufactures and distributes smoothies. It is considering the "weight loss" smoothies project. The project would require a $4 million investment outlay today The after-tax cash flows would depend on consumers’ demand. There is a 30% chance that demand will be good, and the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2 million at the end of each year for the next 3 years. There is a 70% chance that demand will be poor, and the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $1 million at the end of each year for the next 3 years. The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 12%. - The firm will know whether the project is success or not after receiving first year's cash flows from normal operating.. - After receiving the first year's cash flows (no matter what receive $1M or $2M in the first year), the firm will have the option to abandon the project. - If the firm decides to abandon the project, the company will no longer…

Two proposals are being considered by a company for building a bottling plant. These are: Proposal A:The construction of a building now costing P700,000. Proposal B: The construction of a smaller building now costing P600,000, and an additional wing costing P200,000 at the end of 10 years.

2- A rough rule of thumb for the chemical industry is that OMR 1 of annual sales required OMR 2 of fixed capital investment. In a chemical processing plant where this rule applies, the total capital investment is OMR 3200000 and the working capital is 18% of the total capital investment. The annual net total product cost amounts to 1500000 OMR. If the income tax rates on gross earnings total 21%, determine the following: (a) Percent of total capital investment returned annually as gross earning. (b) Percent of total capital investment returned annually as net profit.
We are evaluating a project that costs $2,190,000, has a 8-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 91,200 units per year. Price per unit is $38.97, variable cost per unit is $24.05, and fixed costs are $866,000 per year. The tax rate is 22 percent and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within \pm 10 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst -case NPV figures.
A semiconductor chip maker purchased a small manufacturing process plant for $2,131,020. The money coming in from that purchase was determined to be $500,000 annually in before-tax cash flow during its 10-year use. The net cash flow after tax is $300,000. If the chip maker wants to realize a 10% return on its investment after tax, for how many more years should the plant operate? (hint, tables)

Here your required return on investment is 15%.
A project involved initial construction costs of $2.5 million. The annual rate of economic depreciation for that construction class is 0.008. The project is expected to terminate in 25 years. The expected annual rate of inflation is 0.025. a. Estimate the horizon value at time t=25 owing to the remaining value of this asset. b. If the real discount rate is 0.035, what is the present value of the horizon value from (a)?
