Davis Industries must choose between a gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. Because both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $22,000, whereas the gas-powered truck will cost $17,500. The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 12%. The life for both types of truck is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $6,290 per year, and those for the gas-powered truck will be $5,000 per year. Annual net cash flows include

- Hook Industries is considering the replacement of one of its old metal stamping machines. Three alternative replacement machines are under consideration. The cash flows associated with each are shown in the following table attached: . The firm's cost of capital is 10%. a. Calculate the net present value (NPV) of each press. b. Using NPV, evaluate the acceptability of each press. c. Rank the presses from best to worst using NPV.Crossroad Corporation is trying to decide whether to invest to automate a production line. If the project is accepted, labor costs will decrease by $165,000 per year. However, other cash operating expenses will increase by $86,000 per year. The equipment will cost $260,000 and is depreciable over 10 years using simplified straight line to a zero salvage value. Crossroad will invest $10,000 in net working capital at installation. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 34%. Calculate the firm's annual cash flows associated with the new project.Carla Vista Clinic is considering investing in new heart-monitoring equipment. It has two options. Option A would have an initial lower cost but would require a significant expenditure for rebuilding after 4 years. Option B would require no rebuilding expenditure, but its maintenance costs would be higher. Since the Option B machine is of initial higher quality, it is expected to have a salvage value at the end of its useful life. The following estimates were made of the cash flows. The company's cost of capital is 5%. Option A Option B Initial cost $194,000 $291,000 Annual cash inflows $72,600 $82,000 Annual cash outflows $28,100 $25,100 Cost to rebuild (end of year 4) $51,200 $0 Salvage value $0 $9,000 Estimated useful life 7 years 7 years Click here to view the factor table.

- Interstate Manufacturing is considering either overhauling an old machine or replacing it with a new machine. Information about the two alternatives follows. Management requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Alternative 1: Keep the old machine and have it overhauled. This requires an initial investment of $150,000 and results in $60,000 of net cash flows in each of the next five years. After five years, it can be sold for a $20,000 salvage value. Alternative 2: Sell the old machine for $50,000 and buy a new one. The new machine requires an initial investment of $300,000 and can be sold for a $20,000 salvage value in five years. It would yield cost savings and higher sales, resulting in net cash flows of $60,000 in each of the next five years. Required: 1. Determine the net present value of alternative 1. 2. Determine the net present value of alternative 2. 3. Which…Evans Industries wishes to select the best of three possible machines, each of which is expected to satisfy the firm's ongoing need for additional aluminum-extrusion capacity. The three machines—A, B, and C—are equally risky. The firm plans to use a cost of capital of 11.7% to evaluate each of them. The initial investment and annual cash inflows over the life of each machine are shown in the following table.

The two alternatives are (1) a conveyor system with a high initial cost but low annual operating costs and (2) several forklift trucks, which cost less but have considerably higher operating costs. The decision to construct the plant has already been made, and the choice here will have no effect on the overall revenues of the project. The cost of capital for the plant is 12%, and the projects' expected net costs are listed in the following table: a. What is the IRR of each alternative?
