Caradoc Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $410,000 is estimated to result in $150,000 in annual pre-tax cost savings. The press falls into Class 8 for CCA purposes (CCA rate of 20% per year), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $55,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $20,000, along with an additional $3,100 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop's tax rate is 35% and its discount rate is 9%. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) NPV Should the company buy and install the machine press? O Yes O No

SKR Inc. is considering the purchase of a new leather-cutting machine to replace an existing machine that has a book value of $5000 and can be sold for $ 1,500. The old machine is being depreciated as written down value method basis. The WDV rate is 20%. The old machine’s estimated salvage value 5 years from now is $0. The new machine will reduce fixed costs (before taxes) by $10,000 per year. The new machine will improve quality, thus increasing our leather sales from $25,000 to $35,000 per year. Variable costs are 45% of sales. The new machine has a 5-years life, it costs $20,200 and it can be sold for an expected $3,500 at the end of the third year. Because of the new sales, we will increase our inventory by $4,000, our accounts receivable by $500. The tax accountant has told SKR Inc that the new machine would also be depreciated using written down value method at 20%. Assume a 30% tax rate (corporate as well as capital gain) and a cost of capital of 15 per cent. You are required…
Eggz, Inc., is considering the purchase of new equipment that will allow the company to collect loose hen feathers for sale. The equipment will cost $500,000 and will be eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation. The equipment can be sold for $90,000 at the end of the project in 5 years. Sales would be $335,000 per year, with annual fixed costs of $62,000 and variable costs equal to 37 percent of sales. The project would require an investment of $55,000 in NWC that would be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 25 percent and the required return is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project.
Cori's Meats is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $505,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $75,000. The sausage system will save the firm $185,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $34,000. If the tax rate is 25 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV $ 553,988.52
Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $220,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $97,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $320,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $93,400 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins's cost of capital is 12%. Calculate the two projects' extended NPVs. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Alliance Manufacturing Company is considering the purchase of a new automated drill press to replace an older one. The machine now in operation has a book value of zero and a salvage value of zero. However, it is in good working condition with an expected life of 10 additional years. The new drill press is more efficient than the existing one and, if installed, will provide an estimated cost savings (in labor, materials, and maintenance) of $6,000 per year. The new machine costs $25,000 delivered and installed. It has an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $1,000 at the end of this period. The firm’s cost of capital is 14 percent, and its marginal income tax rate is 40 percent. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method. Complete the following table to compute the net present value (NPV) of the investment. (Hint: Remember that, in Year 10, Alliances also receives the salvage value of the machine.)
