Blue Sky Corporation is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new production machine. The machine's base price is $260,000, and installation costs would amount to $10,000. An additional $10,000 in net working capital would be required at installation. The machine has a class life of 2 years. The machine would save the firm $225,000 per year in operating costs. The firm is planning to keep the machine in place for 2 years. At the end of the second year, the firm plans to sell the machine for $80,000. The firm has a required rate of return on investment projects of 10% and a marginal tax rate of 21%. What is the NPV of the project?

The Campbell Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new milling machine. The machine’s base price is $108,000, and it would cost another $12, 500 to modify it for special use by your firm. The machine will be sold after three years for $65,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33 percent, 45 percent, 15 percent, and 7 percent. The machine would require an increase in net operating working capital (inventory) of $5,500. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but is expected to save the firm $44,000 per year in before tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent.

Bridgeport Industries is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $1,280,000 to replace existing equipment that will be sold for $194,000. The new equipment is expected to have a $220,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year life. During the period of its use, the equipment will allow the company to produce and sell an additional 32,800 units annually at a sales price of $29 per unit. Those units will have a variable cost of $15 per unit. The company will also incur an additional $86,000 in annual fixed costs. Identify the amount and timing of all cash flows related to the acquisition of the new equipment. (Enter negative amounts using a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

You are evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new crane. Its basic price is $150,000 and will cost another $30,000 to modify it for use by your firm. It falls into the MACRS 3 depreciation class, with applicable rates or 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% annually. Your company plans to sell it after 3 years for $70,000. If your firm acquires the equipment, it will also have to increase its net operating working capital (for spare parts) by $6,000 per year. The equipment is not expected to increase revenues directly, but is expected to save the company $30,000 per year in before tax costs. The firm's tax rate is 40%. (a) What is the company's net investment if it acquires the earth mover? (b) What are the operating cash flows for years 1, 2, and 3? (c) What is the terminal cash flow? (d) If the project's cost of capital is 10%, should the crane be purchased?
Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $290,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. The new machine will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. Management thinks the machine would have a value of $24,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. Net operating working capital would increase by $28,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life. Holmes's marginal tax rate is 25%, and a 13% WACC is appropriate for the project. a. Calculate the project's NPV. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.

America Inc., is considering the addition of a new maintenance services division. Opening the division will require a new building, staff, and equipment. The proposed plan involves purchasing land that is currently selling for $750,000. The price of constructing the building on this land is $4.5 million and should be finished before operations begin in year 1. The building will be depreciated straight-line to a book value of $500,000 over 20 years. New equipment will cost $200,000 upfront, and will be depreciated straight line to zero over 4 years. An HR team will need to be brought on for hiring new staff. They estimate that the upfront cost of hiring will be $210,000. In addition, a sales forecast has already been formed for the project and the incurred fee for this service is $90,000. The team forecasts sales of $900,000, $800,000, $600,000, and $300,000 for years 1 through 4 respectively. In each year, inventory equal to one tenth of the current year’s revenue will be required.…
The cost of the new machine is $127,000. Installation will cost $20,000. $4,000 in net working capital will be needed at the time of installation. The project will increase revenues by $85,000 per year, but operating costs will increase by 35% of the revenue increase. Simplified straight line depreciation is used. Class life is 5 years, and the firm is planning to keep the project for 5 years. Salvage value at the end of year 5 will be $50,000. 14% cost of capital; 34% marginal tax rate. /////// The depreciation is 29400. How do I get this result? Could you please show me how to get depreciation by NOT using excel but calculation?
