Crowl Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $805,500 that would have a 9 year useful life and salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $139,500 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,500. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $89,500. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to ignore income taxes): (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Multiple Choice 6.39% 5.25% 16.85% 1125%

* 00 The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $67000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $18,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $8.000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $29,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. 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.

QUESTION 2 You are considering starting a new factory producing small electric heaters. Each unit will sell at a price of $65. The production cost of each heater is $50. The fixed cost of production is $58000. This project has an economic life of 11 years. The project requires an investment of $440000 in plants and equipment. This equipment will be depreciated using a straight line depreciation method to a salvage value of zero. The required rate of return for the project is 10.5 percent. The marginal corporate tax rate is 22 percent. Based on these assumptions, calculate the number of units of production at the accounting (net profit) break-even point.

X Company is using a fully depreciated machine having a current market value of 20,000. The salvage value of the machine eight years from now would be zero. The company is considering replacing this machine by a new one costing 1,02, 500, and having an estimated salvage value of 12,500. With the use of the new machine, annual sales are expected to increase from 80,000 to 92, 500. Operating efficiencies with the new machine will save 12,500 per year as operating expenses. Depreciation will be charged on written - down basis at 25 per cent. The cost of capital is 11 per cent. The new machine has a 8-year life and the company's taxation rate is 35 per cent. Assume that book profit or loss from the sale of the asset is taxable at corporate tax rate. Should the company replace the old machine? Show calculations on incremental cash flow basis. How would your decision be affected if another new machine is available at a cost of 1,75,000 with a salvage value of 25,000. The machine is expected…
