Mountain Sounds Corp. is evaluating a cost savings project. The project's expected operational life is seven years. The project will save the firm $248,730 in net working capital, a one time savings for the life of the project. The project will require an investment in capital equipment of $5,631,945 and has an expected after-tax salvage value of $888,328. After considering the cash savings and depreciation impact the firm expects the project to generate operating cash flows of $1,034,805 each year for the life of the project. What is the NPV of the project if the firm's WACC is 8.9%?
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?
This alternative involves purchasing new aquaculture equipment for $500,000, with a forecasted useful life of 10 years, to replace old equipment that could be disposed of at an estimated salvage value of $60,000. If GBEI acquires the new equipment, it could take on a bigger service area that was not previously feasible, thus leading to an annual increase in sales of $200,000. With the improvements in technology built into the equipment, GBEI’s annual operating expenses would be reduced by $100,000. Operation of the new equipment would require GBEI to maintain inventory levels $100,000 higher than usual over the life of the project. The new equipment could be sold at the end of its useful life for $40,000. Assume straight line depreciation. Assume gross margin on incremental revenues is 60%. The cost of capital for this investment is 11.65%. 1. Calculate the NPV, Payback Period, and Profitability Index of the purchase of the new aquaculture equipment.
