Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a newstate-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $180,000and would have a twelve-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have nosalvage value. The new machine would cost $26, 000 per year to operate and maintain, butwould save $58,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now forscrap for $18,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore incometaxes.):

Simple rate of return = Annual increamental net operating income / Initial investment Initial investment = $180,000 - $18,000 = $162,000 Annual depreciation = (Cost of machine - salvage value) / useful life =(180,000 - 0 ) / 12 = $15,000 Annual incremental net operating income = $58,000 - $26,000 - $15,000 = $17,000 Simple rate of return = Annual incremental net operating income / Initial investment = $17,000 / $162,000 = 10.5%

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company has some equipment that can either be repaired right now for $50,000 or sold for $13,000 scrap value. As an alternative, Your Company could buy new equipment for $150,000. Both pieces of equipment would last 8 years. The annual operating expenses of the new equipment would be $8,500 less than the operating costs of the old machine. In addition, the new machine would be able to produce 100 more units that can be sold for a contribution margin of $65 per unit. The new equipment is expected to have a $10,000 salvage value in 8 years. Your Company discount rate is 8%. What is the net present value of the decision to buy the new equipment instead of repairing the old equipment? a $4,605 b $3,225 c $1,605 d ($ 795)

Hello. Need help with the solution to question. Calculate the annual straight-line depreciation for a machine that costs $30,000 and has installation and shipping costs that total $2,000. The machine will be depreciated over a period of 15 years. The company’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $162,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $111,000. The machine would require a $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased Inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $42,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 11%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? 1. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay. II. Last year's expenditure is considered an opportunity cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow.…
A new electronic process monitor costs $990,000. This cost could be depreciated at 30 percent per year (Class 10). The monitor would actually be worthless in five years. The new monitor would save $460,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. If we require a 15 percent return, what is the NPV of the purchase? Assume a tax rate of 40 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) NPV
Alliance Manufacturing Company is considering the purchase of a new automated drill press to replace an older one. The machine now in operation has a book value of zero and a salvage value of zero. However, it is in good working condition with an expected life of 10 additional years. The new drill press is more efficient than the existing one and, if installed, will provide an estimated cost savings (in labor, materials, and maintenance) of $6,000 per year. The new machine costs $25,000 delivered and installed. It has an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $1,000 at the end of this period. The firm’s cost of capital is 14 percent, and its marginal income tax rate is 40 percent. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method.a. What is the net cash flow in year 0 (i.e., initial outlay)?b. What are the net cash flows after taxes in each of the next 10 years?c. What is the NPV of the investment?d. Should Alliance replace its existing drill press?
A new machine costing $150,000 is expected to save the McKaig Brick Company $11,000 per year for 5 years before depreciation and taxes. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis for a 5-year period to an estimated salvage value of $0. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. What are the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of this machine? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ Compute the net investment (NINV) for this project.

You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $104,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $43,000. The machine would require a $5,500 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $56,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? I. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. II. The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis. III. Only the tax effect of the research expenses…
Suppose we are thinking about replacing an old computer with a new one. The old one cost us $1,620,000; the new one will cost, $1,949,000. The new machine will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will probably be worth about $405,000 after five years. The old computer is being depreciated at a rate of $336,000 per year. It will be completely written off in three years. If we don't replace it now, we will have to replace it in two years. We can sell it now for $531,000; in two years, it will probably be worth $153,000. The new machine will save us $363,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate is 23 percent, and the discount rate is 10 percent. a-1. Calculate the EAC for the the old computer and the new computer. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a-2. What is the NPV of the decision to replace the computer now? (A negative answer should…
Ben is looking at a new computer system with an installed cost of $560000. This cost will be depreciated straight - line to zero over the project's five year life, at the end of which the computer system can be scrapped for $85000. The computer system will save the company $165000 per year in pretax operatiing costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $ 29000. If the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
