New-Project Analysis The president of the company you work for has asked you to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new chromatograph for the firm’s R&D department. The equipment's basic price is $90,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to modify it for special use by your firm. The chromatograph, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class, would be sold after 3 years for $40,500. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445 and 0.1481. Use of the equipment would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $3,600. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $36,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 30%. What is the Year 0 net cash flow? If the answer is negative, use parentheses.$ What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations.

Internal rate of return method—two projects Munch N' Crunch Snack Company is considering two possible investments: a delivery truck or a bagging machine. The delivery truck would cost $43,056 and could be used to deliver an additional 95,000 bags of pretzels per year. Each bag of pretzels can be sold for a contribution margin of $0.45. The delivery truck operating expenses, excluding depreciation, are $1.35 per mile for 24,000 miles per year. The bagging machine would replace an old bagging machine, and its net investment cost would be $61,614. The new machine would require three fewer hours of direct labor per day. Direct labor is $18 per hour. There are 250 operating days in the year. Both the truck and the bagging machine are estimated to have 7-year lives. The minimum rate of return is 13%. However, Munch N' Crunch has funds to invest in only one of the projects. Year 6% 10% 12% 15% 20% 1 0.943 0.909 0.893 0.870 0.833 2 1.833 1.736 1.690 1.626 1.528 3 2.673 2.487 2.402…

Cash flows estimation and capital budgeting:You are the head of finance department in XYZ Company. You are considering adding a new machine to your production facility. The new machine’s base price is $11,000.00, and it would cost another $2,570.00 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after three years for $1,850.00. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $860.00. The new machine would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $26,235.00 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. XYZ's marginal tax rate is 36.00%.If the project's cost of capital is 13.25%, what is the NPV of the project?Round your answer to two decimal places. For example, if your answer is $345.667 round as 345.67 and if your answer is .05718 or 5.718% round as 5.72.
