The Logan Well Services Group is considering two sites for storage and recovery of reclaimed water. The mountain site (MS) will use injection wells that cost $4.2 million to develop and $280,000 per year for M&O. This site will be able to accommodate 150 million gallons per year. The valley site (VS) will involve recharge basins that cost $11 million to construct and $400,000 per year to operate and maintain. At this site, 720 million gallons can be injected each year. If the value of the injected water is $3.00 per thousand gallons, which alternative, if either, should be selected according to the B/C ratio method? Use an interest rate of 8% per year and a 20-year study period. The B/C ratio is . Select alternative (Click to select) neither of the alternatives mountain site valley site .
Galactic is contemplating the purchase of a new $570,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated using the MACRS 5-year depreciation schedule. It will be worth $70,000 at the end of the project in 6 years. You will save $40,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce net working capital by $30,000. You will also increase sales by $100,000 per year for the first year and this number will increase by 3% per year. If the tax rate is 30 percent, and the required rate of return is 10%, what is the NPV of this project?
Lukow Products is investigating the purchase of a piece of automated equipment that will save $150,000 each year in direct labor and inventory carrying costs. This equipment costs $800,000 and is expected to have a 5-year useful life with no salvage value. The company’s required rate of return is 12% on all equipment purchases. Management anticipates that this equipment will provide intangible benefits such as greater flexibility and higher-quality output that will result in additional future cash inflows. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using table. Required: 1. What is the net present value of the piece of equipment before considering its intangible benefits? (Enter negative amount with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 2. What minimum dollar value per year must be provided by the equipment’s intangible benefits to justify the $800,000 investment?

Raytronics wishes to use an automated environmental chamber in the manufacture of electronic components. The chamber is to be used for rigorous reliability testing and burn-in. It is installed for $1.4 million and will have a salvage value of $200,000 after 8 years. Its use will create an opportunity to increase sales by $650,000 per year and will have operating expenses of $250,000 per year. Corporate income-tax rate is 25%. Develop tables using a spreadsheet to determine the ATCF for each year and the after-tax PW, AW, IRR, and ERR if the chamber is kept for 8 years. After-tax MARR is 10%. Use MACRS-GDS(5) with 100% bonus depreciation.

The Tempo Golf and Country Club in London, Ontario, is evaluating two different irrigation system options. An underground automatic irrigation system will cost $9.2 million to install and $80,900 pre-tax annually to operate. It will not have to be replaced for 20 years. An aboveground system will cost $6.8 million to install, but $199,000 per year to operate. The aboveground equipment has an effective operating life of nine years. The country club leases its land from the city and both systems are considered leasehold improvements; as a result, straight-line capital cost allowance is used throughout, and neither system has any salvage value. The tax rate is 39%. Calculate the equivalent annual cost for each method if we use a 13% discount rate? (Enter the answers in dollars. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places. Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign. Omit $ sign in your response.) Method EAC Underground system 2$…
Lumberjack Power, operator of a nuclear power plant, is planning to replace its current equipment with some that is more environmentally friendly. The old equipment has annual operating expenses of $6750 and can be kept for 8 more years. The equipment will have a salvage value of $4000, if sold 8 years from now, and has a current market value of $24,000, if it is sold now. The new equipment has an initial cost of $62,000 and has estimated annual operating expenses of $6250 each year. The estimated market value of the new equipment is $19,000 after 8 years of operation. If the company's MARR is 16% per year, should the equipment be replaced? Use a study period of 8 years and the present worth method.
Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $120,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $30,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $12,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $40,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the initial investment used for calculating the machine's simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3% 1. Depreciation expense 2.
