Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $429,000 is estimated to result in $161,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (MACRS schedule) and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $62,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $16,700. along with an additional $3,700 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 22 percent and its discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the project's NPV.
ABC Manufacturing Company is planning to reduce its labor costs by automating a critical task that is currently performed manually. The automation requires the installation of a new machine. The cost to purchase and install a new machine is 15,000. The installation of machine can reduce annual labor cost by 4,200. The life of the machine is 15 years. The salvage value of the machine after fifteen years will be zero. The required rate of return of Smart Manufacturing Company is 25%. Should Smart Manufacturing Company purchase the machine?
Emperor’s Clothes Fashions can invest $6 million in a new plant for producing invisible makeup. The plant has an expected life of 5 years, and expected sales are 7 million jars of makeup a year. Fixed costs are $3.1 million a year, and variable costs are $1.20 per jar. The product will be priced at $2.90 per jar. The plant will be depreciated straight-line over 5 years to a salvage value of zero. The opportunity cost of capital is 10%, and the tax rate is 40%. What is project NPV under these base-case assumptions? What is NPV if variable costs turn out to be $2.00 per jar? What is NPV if fixed costs turn out to be $2.8 million per year? At what price per jar would the project's NPV equal zero?
Alliance Manufacturing Company is considering the purchase of a new automated drill press to replace an older one. The machine now in operation has a book value of zero and a salvage value of zero. However, it is in good working condition with an expected life of 10 additional years. The new drill press is more efficient than the existing one and, if installed, will provide an estimated cost savings (in labor, materials, and maintenance) of $6,000 per year. The new machine costs $25,000 delivered and installed. It has an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $1,000 at the end of this period. The firm’s cost of capital is 14 percent, and its marginal income tax rate is 40 percent. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method. Complete the following table to compute the net present value (NPV) of the investment. (Hint: Remember that, in Year 10, Alliances also receives the salvage value of the machine.)

XYZ Co. is considering the purchase of a new machine. The machine will cost $250,000 and requires installation costs of $25,000. The existing machine can be sold currently for $25,070. It was purchased three years ago for $83,000 and depreciated using MACRS (5 years). It can be operated for another four years. Its market value at that time, if sold, would be $14,000. The new machine has expected life of five years and expected to provide operating cash savings of $88,000 a year for 2 years and $50,000 a year for the next two years before depreciation and taxes (EBD&T). After four years the new machine can be sold for $12,750.

A company is considering replacing a machine used in the manufacturing process with a new, more efficient model. The purchase price of the new machine is $150,000 and the old machine can be sold for $100,000. Output for the two machines is identical; they will both be used to produce the same amount of product for five years. However, the annual operating costs of the old machine are $18,000 compared to $10,000 for the new machine. Also, the new machine has a salvage value of $25,000, but the old machine will be worthless at the end of the five years. You are deciding whether the company should sell the old machine and purchase the new model. You have determined that an 8% rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all operating costs are paid at the end of the year. For this initial comparison you ignore the effect of the decision on income taxes. Required: What is the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine? What is the present…
