You are considering the purchase of one of two machines used in your manufacturing plant. Machine A has a life of two years, costs $80 initially, and then requires $125 per year in maintenance costs. Machine B costs $150 initially, has a life of three years, and requires $100 in annual maintenance costs. Either machine must be replaced at the end of its life with an equivalent machine. The discount rate is 12 percent and the tax rate is zero. Calculate the EAC. Which one should you choose?
A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $905,000. The device will be used in a five-year project but is classified as three-year MACRS property for tax purposes. The required initial net working capital investment is $65,000, the tax rate is 22 percent, and the project discount rate is 9 percent. The device has an estimated Year 5 salvage value of $125,000. What level of pretax cost savings do we require for this project to be profitable? (MACRS schedule) Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Required cost savings
Zenith Investment Company is considering the purchase of an office property. It has done an extensive market analysis and has estimated that based on current market supply or demand relationships, rents, and its estimate of operating expenses, annual NOI will be as follows: Year NOI 1 $ 1,030,000 2 1,030,000 3 1,030,000 4 1,210,000 5 1,260,000 6 1,310,000 7 1,349,000 8 1,389,170 A market that is currently oversupplied is expected to result in cash flows remaining flat for the next three years at $1,030,000. During years 4, 5, and 6, market rents are expected to be higher. It is further expected that beginning in year 7 and every year thereafter, NOI will tend to reflect a stable, balanced market and should grow at 3 percent per year indefinitely. Zenith believes that investors should earn a 12 percent return (r) on an investment of this kind.Required: a. Assuming that the investment is expected to produce NOI in years 1 to 8 and is expected to be owned for…
Delamont Transport Company (DTC) is evaluating the merits of leasing versus purchasing a truck with a 4- year life that costs $40,000 and falls into the MACRS 3 - year class. If the firm borrows and buys the truck, the loan rate would be 10%, and the loan would be amortized over the truck's 4-year life, so the interest expense for taxes would decline over time. The loan payments would be made at the end of each year. The truck will be used for 4 years, at the end of which time it will be sold at an estimated residual value of $10,000. If DTC buys the truck, it would purchase a maintenance contract that costs $1,000 per year, payable at the end of each year. The lease terms, which include maintenance, call for a $10,000 lease payment (4 payments total) at the beginning of each year. DTC's tax rate is 40%. What is the net advantage to leasing? ( Note: Assume MACRS rates for Years 1 to 4 are 0.3333, 0.4445, 0.15, and 0.07.). $849 • $896 • $945. $999 •$1,047
JT Engineering wants to buy a machine that costs $158,000, has a 20-year life, and a $12,000 salvage value. Annual cash inflows are $66,000 and annual cash outflows are $41,000.

You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $104,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $43,000. The machine would require a $5,500 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $56,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? I. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. II. The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis. III. Only the tax effect of the research expenses…
Fun Land is considering adding a miniature golf course to its facility. The course would cost $75000, would be depreciated on a straight line basis over its 4-year life, and would have a zero salvage value. The estimated income from the golfing fees would be $40000 a year with $12000 of that amount being variable cost. The fixed cost would be $6000. In addition, the firm anticipates an additional $15000 in revenue from its existing facilities if the course is added. The project will require $7000 of net working capital, which is recoverable at the end of the project. What is the net present value of this project at a discount rate of 12 percent and a tax rate of 35 percent? $19,812.09 $20,360.22 $15,429.48 $13,199.40 $24,738.41
