Bing Enterprises, Inc., has been considering the purchase of a new manufacturing facility for $290,000. The facility is to be fully depreciated on a straight-line basis over seven years. It is expected to have no resale value after the seven years. Operating revenues from the facility are expected to be $125,000, in nominal terms, at the end of the first year. The revenues are expected to increase at the inflation rate of 2 percent. Production costs at the end of the first year will be $50,000, in nominal terms, and they are expected to increase at 3 percent per year. The real discount rate is 5 percent. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. Calculate the NPV of the project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV

Gluon Inc. is considering the purchase of a new high pressure glueball. It can purchase the glueball for $70,000 and sell its old low- pressure glueball, which is fully depreciated, for $12,000. The new equipment has a 10-year useful life and will save $16,000 a year in expenses. The opportunity cost of capital is 9%, and the firm's tax rate is 21%. What is the equivalent annual saving from the purchase if Gluon can depreciate 100% of the investment immediately. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Equivalent annual savings
A small heat pump now costs $2,400 to purchase and install. It has a projected useful life of 18 years and will incur annual maintenance costs of $100 per year in real (year-zero) dollars over the useful life. These costs are projected to increase at 6% per year, which is the expected general inflation rate. The annual cost of electricity for the heat pump is $700 in year-zero dollars. Electricity prices are projected to increase at an annual rate of 8%. The firm's MARR, which includes an allowance for general price inflation, is 15% per year (im). No market value is expected from the heat pump at the end of the 18 years of service life. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when i= 15% per year. a.

Beth bought some residential development property for 200,000 five years ago. She sold the property this year for $1,200,000 and spent $250,000 for infrastructure development in year 5, the year in which the property was sold. If the inflation rate for the past 5 years has been steady at 5% annually, compute the after-tax real rate of return on this investment. Assume a capital gain tax of 15%.
