Commercial Hydronics is considering replacing one of its larger control devices. A new unit sells for $32,000 (delivered). An additional $4,000 will be needed to install the device. The new device has an estimated 18-year service life. The estimated salvage value at the end of 18 years will be $2,000. The new control device will be depreciated as a 7-year MACRS asset. The existing control device (original cost = $15,000) has been in use for 9 years, and it has been fully depreciated (that is, its book value equals zero). Its scrap value is estimated to be $2,500. The existing device could be used indefinitely, assuming the firm is willing to pay for its very high maintenance costs. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. The new control device requires lower maintenance costs and frees up personnel who normally would have to monitor the system. Estimated annual cash savings from the new device will be $5,000. The firm's cost of capital is 10 percent. What is the NPV?
A construction company is considering acquiring a new earthmover. The purchase price is $110,000, and an additional $25,000 is required to modify the equipment for special use by the company. The equipment falls into the MACRS seven-year classification (the tax life), and it will be sold after five years (the project life) for $50,000. The purchase of the earthmover will have no effect on revenues, but the machine is expected to save the firm $68,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 25%. Assume that the initial investment is to be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 10% payable annually. Determine the after-tax cash flows by using the generalized cash flow approach and the worth of the investment for this project if the firm's MARR known to be 12%.

On January 2, 2021, Twilight Hospital purchased a $92,000 special radiology scanner from Blossom Inc. The scanner had a useful life of 4 years and was estimated to have no disposal value at the end of its useful life. The straight-line method of depreciation is used on this scanner. Annual operating costs with this scanner are $104,000. Approximately one year later, the hospital is approached by Dyno Technology salesperson, Jacob Cullen, who indicated that purchasing the scanner in 2021 from Blossom Inc. was a mistake. He points out that Dyno has a scanner that will save Twilight Hospital $24,000 a year in operating expenses over its 3-year useful life. Jacob notes that the new scanner will cost $109,000 and has the same capabilities as the scanner purchased last year. The hospital agrees that both scanners are of equal quality. The new scanner will have no disposal value. Jacob agrees to buy the old scanner from Twilight Hospital for $43,000. (a) If Twilight Hospital sells its old…
You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new special-purpose truck for $60,000. The truck falls into the MACRS 3-year class, is not eligible for either bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing, and it will be sold after three years for $20,600. Use of the truck will require an increase in NWC (spare parts inventory) of $2,600. The truck will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $20,200 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 21 percent.What will the cash flows for this project be?
The Gilbert Instrument Corporation is considering replacing the wood steamer it currently uses to shape guitar sides. The steamer has 6 years of remaining life. If kept, the steamer will have depreciation expenses of $600 for 5 years and $310 for the sixth year. Its current book value is $3,310, and it can be sold on an Internet auction site for $3,850 at this time. If the old steamer is not replaced, it can be sold for $800 at the end of its useful life. Gilbert is considering purchasing the Side Steamer 3000, a higher-end steamer, which costs $11,500, and has an estimated useful life of 6 years with an estimated salvage value of $1,600. This steamer falls into the MACRS 5-years class, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The new steamer is faster and allows for an output expansion, so sales would rise by $2,000 per year; the new machine's much greater efficiency would reduce operating expenses by $1,600 per year. To support the…
Cari Heat (CH) Ltd. is currently faced with a critical decision regarding its production equipment. Cari Heat (CH) is evaluating two options for its production equipment: upgrading or replacing.
