A construction company is evaluating two options for an elevator, each of which has a useful life in 10 years. Option 1 costs $45, 000 to install and $2700 annually, with a salvage value of $ 3000 in year 10. Option 1 also requires a significant overhaul in year 6 with a cost of $8, 000. Option 2 costs $54, 000, costs $2, 800 annually, and has a salvage value of $5000 in year 10. Annual interest is 4%, compounded monthly. Which option would you choose? Show your work.

Pierre’s Hair Salon is considering opening a new location in French Lick, California. The cost of building a new salon is $284,000. A new salon will normally generate annual revenues of $60,490, with annual expenses (including depreciation) of $40,800. At the end of 15 years the salon will have a salvage value of $74,000.Calculate the annual rate of return on the project.
Purple Haze Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $526,528 is estimated to result in some amount of annual pretax cost savings. The press will have an aftertax salvage value at the end of the project of $86,879. The OCFS of the project during the 4 years are $170,654, $199,481, $175,232 and $169,873, respectively. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $23, 482, along with an additional $1,631 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's discount rate is 6 percent. What is the NPV for this project?
RealTurf is considering purchasing an automatic sprinkler system for its sod farm by borrowing the entire $30,000 purchase price. The loan would be repaid with four equal annual payments at an interest rate of 12%/year. It is anticipated that the sprinkler system would be used for 9 years and then sold for a salvage value of $2,000. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the system over the 9-year life are estimated to be $9,000 per year. If the new system is purchased, cost savings of $15,000 per year will be realized over the present manual watering system. RealTurf uses a MARR of 15%/year for economic decision making. Based on a present worth analysis, is the purchase of the new sprinkler system economically attractive?
The management of XY Company is considering to purchase an equipment to be attached with the main manufacturing machine. The equipment will cost $6,000 and will increase annual cash inflow by $2,200. The useful life of the equipment is 6 years. After 6 years it will have no salvage value. The management wants a 20% return on all investments. Compute net present value (NPV) of this investment project.
Managers at Eller Manufacturing are considering purchasing a new refrigerated delivery truck that will produce equal annual cash flows of $36,000 for 6 years. The truck's net present value is $12,780, its cost is $144,000, its useful life is 6 years, and its annual depreciation expense (no salvage value) is $24,000. What is the discount rate used by Eller to evaluate this project?
Argyl Manufacturing is evaluating the possibility of expanding its operations. This expansion will require the purchase of land at a cost of $150,000. A new building will cost $120,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years to a salvage value of $0. Actual land salvage at the end of 10 years is expected to be $200,000. The actual building salvage at the end of 10 years is expected to be $190,000. Equipment for the facility is expected to cost $260,000. Installation costs will be an additional $20,000 and shipping costs will be $13,000. This equipment will be depreciated as a 7-year MACRS asset. Actual estimated salvage at the end of 10 years is $0. The project will require net working capital of $75,000 initially (year 0), an additional $40,000 at the end of year 1, and an additional $40,000 at the end of year 2. The project is expected to generate increased EBIT (operating income) for the firm of $110,000 during year 1. Annual EBIT is expected to grow at a rate…
Penny and Daughter’s construction business is considering purchasing a new Bobcat. The equipment will cost $230,000 and is expected to last 14 years. The Bobcat has a salvage vale of $16,000. Calculate the depreciation AND book value for each year. You can create one table for a-d or you can create different tables for each. This problem will need to be done in excel. (30 points)a. Use straight-line depreciation. (5 points)b. Use declining-balance depreciation with a depreciation rate that ensures the book value equals the salvage vale in the last year of the life of the equipment. c. Use double declining balance depreciation. d. Use MACRS depreciation where the Bobcat is considered a 10 year property. e. Graph the Book values of each methods on a single graph. The graph should have points at each year for each BV and a line of each method. You will have 4 lines on your graph. You should include year 0 on your graph so that all four lines start at the same point. Each method should be…
Geary Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $697,448 is estimated to result in $179,470 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (Refer to the MACRS table on page 277), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $129,270. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $59,897, along with an additional $ 9,967 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop's tax rate is 0.28 and its discount rate is 0.14, what is the total cash flow in year 4? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.) (Make sure you enter the number with the appropriate +/- sign)
An airline is considering a project of replacement and upgrading of machinery that would improve efficiency. The new machinery costs $300 today and is expected to last for 5 years with no salvage value. Straight line depreciation will be used. Project inflows connected with the new machinery will begin in one year and are expected to be $250 each year for 5 consecutive years and project outflows will also begin in one year and are expected to be $ 112.50 each year for 5 consecutive years. The corporate tax rate is 32% and the required rate of return is 9%. Calculate the project's net present value. YOU ARE NOT FINISHED. NOW GO ON TO THE SECOND PART! PART 2. Given your estimate of the NPV, should you accept or reject the project?
A firm is considering investing in a new piece of equipment. The equipment would cost $500,000 and would have shipping and installation cost of $125,000. If purchased, the machine would have an estimated useful life of 5 years and would be depreciated via a 5-year MACRS schedule (e, 20.0%, 32.0%, 19.2 %, 11.5%, 11.5%, and 5.8%). Adoption of the project would also require an increase in working capital of $50,000. If the new equipment is purchased, an old piece of equipment (which is still useable for 5 more years) could be sold for $30,000. The old machine had been depreciated on a straight line basis and currently has a book value of zero. The machine would generate annual incremental revenues of $250,000 and annual incremental expenses of $50,000. It is estimated that the machine can be sold as scrap at the end of its 5 year useful life for $80,000. The required return on projects of this nature is 14% and the firm's marginal tax rate is 40%. What is cash flow from the project for…
