Rader Railway is determining whether to purchase a new rail setter, which has a base price of $394,000 and would cost another $58,000 to install. The setter will be depreciated according to the MACRS 3-year class of assets, and it would be sold after three years for $196,000. Using the setter requires a $26,000 increase in net working capital. Although it would have no effect on revenues, the setter should save the firm $171,000 per year in before-tax operating costs (excluding depreciation). Rader's marginal tax rate is 40 percent, and its required rate of return is 13 percent. Should the setter be purchased? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Use a minus sign to enter a negative value, if any. The setter_____________ be purchased because the net present value, that is $__________ , is ______ zero.

Kolby's Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $735,000. The asset qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation and can be scrapped for $101,000 at the end of the project's 5-year life.

Your company is considering a project which will require the purchase of $715,000 in new equipment. The company expects to sell the equipment at the end of the project for 25% of its original cost, but some assets will remain in the CCA class. Annual sales from this project are estimated at $256,000. Initial net working capital equal to 32.00% of sales will be required. All of the net working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. The firm requires a 10.00% return on similar investments. The tax rate is 35%, and the project life is 5 years. There are no other operating expenses. If the equipment is in a 33.00% CCA class, what is the present value of the CCA tax shield? Options $153,510 $157,348 $161,186 $165,024 $168,861
Managers at Eller Manufacturing are considering purchasing a new refrigerated delivery truck that will produce equal annual cash flows of $36,000 for 6 years. The truck's net present value is $12,780, its cost is $144,000, its useful life is 6 years, and its annual depreciation expense (no salvage value) is $24,000.

Scription Inc. has additional cash available for investment and considers replacing the old factory equipment with a new one. There are two options for Scription. One option is to purchase a new equipment from Supplier A for $100,000. Supplier A equipment has a useful life of 10 years with after-tax residual value, $5,000 and can save $60,000 annually. The other option is with Supplier B. Supplier B would charge $120,000 for a new equipment. Supplier B equipment would generate $50,000 annual cost saving. Its useful life is 12 years and the after-tax residual value of $6,000. Assume the required rate of return for both options is 8%. Using NPV method, determine which option is the more attractive.
