Consider a machine that costs P20,000 and has a five years useful life. At the end of the five years, it can be sold for P4,000 after tax adjustment. The annual operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are about P50o. If the firm could earn an after-tax revenue of P5,000 per year with this machine, should it be purchased at an interest rate of 10%?

Your firm is considering a project that would cost $325,000 and be depreciated straight-line over four years to $0 book value. Your firm estimates $15,000 in yearly after-tax operating costs. The required return is 12.0 percent, and the firm pays a 21.0 percent tax rate. What is the equivalent annual cost of this project?
Zwango Plus Manufacturing expects that fixed costs of keeping its Zephyr Hills Plant operating will be $2.1M this year. If the fixed costs increase by $125,000 each year, what is the EUAC for a 15-year period? Assume the interest rate is 10%.
Packaging equipment for Xi Cling Wrap costs $60,000 and is expected to result in end-of-year net savings of $23,000 per year for 3 years. The equipment will have a market value of $10,000 after 3 years. The equipment can be leased for $21,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. Xi Cling’s MARR is 10%/yr. Based on an internal rate of return analysis, determine if the packaging equipment should be purchased or leased.
Two alternative pumps are being compared. Pump A costs $5200, will save $1275 per year in operating and maintenance expenses, and is expected to last for 6 years. Pump B costs $6000, will save $1550 per year, and is also expected to last for 6 years. If the cost of capital is 12%, which has the better discounted payback period?
See picture for clearer image of question The ABC company is considering purchasing a machine that costs $280,000 and expected to yield $200,000 per year before taxes. The company has to borrow $80,000 which have to be repaid in two years at i=10%. The cost of operating and maintaining the machine is $40,000 per year. The machine will be needed for two years and can be sold at the end of the second year for $120,000. For depreciation purposes the straight-line depreciation method with no half-year convention applies. Find the missing values in the following tables in order to determine if this was a good investment at MARR of 14%. The company’s income tax is 40%. Your decision should be based on the PW criterion.

Sparky Inc. is evaluating a project that costs $150 using the WACC method. Their WACC is 11.5% and the project has EBIT of $75 per year each year for six years. The tax rate is 30%. Calculate the NPV of the project.
The Wildwood Widget Company needs a milling machine for its new assembly line. The machine presently costs $85,000, but has a cost inflation rate of 2%. Widget will not need to purchase the machine for 3 years. If general inflation is expected to be 4% per year during those 3 years, determine the price of the machine. What is the present worth of the machinery if the market rate of interest for Widget is 25%?
What is the NPV of project D? Assume that the firm requires a minimum after-tax return of 8% on investment. Project D costs $5,000 and will generate sales of $4,000 each year for 5 years. The cash expenditures will be $1,500 per year. The firm uses straight-line depreciation with an estimated salvage value of $500 and has a tax rate of 25%. (2) What is the book rate of return based on the average book value? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
A new electronic process monitor costs $990,000. This cost could be depreciated at 30% per year (Class 10). The monitor would actually be worth $100,000 in five years. The new monitor would save $460,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. The new monitor requires us to increase net working capital by $47,200 when we buy it. Assume a tax rate of 40% and a 15% return. a. Suppose the monitor was assigned a 25% CCA rate. Calculate the new NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) ***NOTE*** Hello, I found an answer key saying the answer is $180,108.50. Hopefully this helps for reference when solving for it. Thanks:)
Chevrolet Corporation is considering replacing an obsolete machine with a new machine. The new machine would cost P250,000 and would have a ten-year useful life. The new machine would cost P12,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save P55,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for P10,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to: A. 17.9% B. 7.5% C. 22.0% D. 7.2%
A project requires a cost in Year O (right now) of $7M. The project will then provide a revenue of $3M per year for Years 1-3. Your discount rate is 15%. The NPV of the project is: Between 0 and $1M Less than zero Between $1M and $2M O More than $2M
A machine costs £16,000 and has a 5-year life. The required rate of return is 10%. By how much can taxable profit be reduced through the writing-down allowance (WDA) in the third year, if the annual WDA is 30% on a declining balance? £ (Round your answer to the nearest pound.) If the tax rate is 40%, what is the present value of the WDA in year 4 to the machine's owners? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) If the machine has a scrap value of £1,600 after 5 years, what will be the fifth year's adjustment to the WDA? £ (Round your answer to the nearest pound.)
