St. Johns River Shipyards' welding machine is 15 years old, fully depreciated, and has no salvage value. However, even though it is old, it is still functional as originally designed and can be used for quite a while longer. A new welder will cost $180,000 and have an estimated life of 8 years with no salvage value. The new welder will be much more efficient, however, and this enhanced efficiency will increase earnings before depreciation from $27,000 to $81,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00 %, 19.20 %, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the project cost of capital is 10%. What is the NPV if the firm replaces the old welder with the new one? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. $
Cullumber Roofing is faced with a decision. The company relies very heavily on the use of its 60-foot extension lift for work on large homes and commercial properties. Last year, Cullumber Roofing spent $67,200 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another $31,000 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $132,500. The company estimates that both lifts would have useful lives of 5 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses from $93,000 to $70,600 each year. Cullumber Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $8,000 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift could currently be sold for $19,500 if the new lift is purchased. The new lift and old lift are estimated to have salvage values of zero if used for another 5 years.Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should repair or replace the equipment.

AMD is contemplating a decision to either continue producing a unique line of microprocessors, or discontinue production. • The AMD factory manufactures approximately 100,000 of such processors and generates $3,000,000 in revenues and incurs $2,000,000 in variable costs. • AMD estimates that if the product is discontinued ADM would save $ 1,500,000 in fixed manufacturing costs in engineering support and depreciation costs of production equipment. • Should AMD keep or discontinue production of this product line?

Thurston Petroleum is considering a new project that complements its existing business. The machine required for the project costs $4.35 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $2.45 million per year for the next four years, after which the market will cease to exist. The machine will be depreciated to zero over its 4-year economic life using the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. The company also needs to add net working capital of $175,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The tax rate is 25 percent and the required return for the project is 10 percent. What is the value of the NPV for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)

Rust Industrial Systems Company is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $350,000, has a 4-year life, and requires $141,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $430,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $135,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight- line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Whichever project is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent. Calculate the NPV for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.
