Eric Krassow's firm is about to bid on a new radar system. Although the product uses new technology, Krassow believes that a learning rate of 75% is appropriate. The first unit is expected to take 700 hours, and the contract is for 40 units. What is the total amount of hours to build the 40 units?

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,060,000, and it would cost another $20,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $488,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $18,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $358,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Wally loves your analysis. He has now asked you to evaluate potential new project investments. Both projects aim to make widgets. Widgets sell for $10 each. Project A will produce 4,500 units in the first year, 6,500 units in the second and third years and a whopping 44,000 units in the fourth year. Project A requires an investment of 3 machines each costing $25,000. Project B will produce 2,400 units in the first year, 2,200 units in the second year, 1,950 units in the third year and 1,460 units in the fourth year. Project B requires an initial investment of 1 machine worth $25,000. Wally has said that to make the analysis easier - you need not calculate depreciation on the machine, the tax shelter benefit or the residual value of the machine at the end of production. Wally just said I want you understand the cash flows from the information provided above. (a) Calculate the net present value for each of Project A and Project B, assuming a 15% cost of capital. (b) What is the IRR of…
The engineering team at Manuel's Manufacturing, Inc., is planning to purchase an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The software and installation from Vendor A costs $410,000 initially and is expected to increase revenue $110,000 per year every year. The software and installation from Vendor B costs $290,000 and is expected to increase revenue $95,000 per year. Manuel's uses a 4- year planning horizon and a 12.0% per year MARR. Part a 8 Your answer is incorrect. What is the present worth of each investment? Vendor A: $ Vendor B: $ Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance is ±20.
please show work i need to learn this. Cameron Industries is purchasing a new chemical vapor depositor in order to make silicon chips. It will cost $7,000,000 to buy the machine and $10,000 to have it delivered and installed. Building a clean room in the plant for the machine will cost an additional $3 million. The machine is expected to raise revenues by $3,000,000 per year, starting at the end of the first year, with associated costs (other than depreciation) of $1 million for each of those years. The machine is expected to have a working life of six years and will be depreciated over those six years. The marginal tax rate is 20%. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 2? O $1,168,333 $831,667 $1,833,667 $1,165,000 O $665,334
Billingham Packaging is considering expanding its production capacity by purchasing a new machine, the XC-750. The cost of the XC-750 is $2.77 million. Unfortunately, installing this machine will take several months and will partially disrupt production. The firm has just completed a $45,000 feasibility study to analyze the decision to buy the XC-750, resulting in the following estimates: • Marketing: Once the XC-750 is operational next year, the extra capacity is expected to generate $10.05 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of the machine. • Operations: The disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by $5.09 million this year. As with Billingham's existing products, the cost of goods for the products produced by the XC-750 is expected to be 72% of their sale price. The increased production will also require increased inventory on hand of $1.11 million during the life of the project, including year 0. • Human Resources: The…
The CFO of The Fun Factory is investigating the possibility of investing in a three-dimensional printer that would cost $16,500. The printer would eliminate the need to have prototypes of new toys be produced by a third party. The cost of having the prototypes manufactured by the third party is about $7,161 per year. The printer would have a useful life of five years with no salvage value with expected annual operating costs of $3,300 per year. Required: Compute the simple rate of return on the printer. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Simple rate of return %
You are considering buying a machine to produce widgets (again!). It takes you one year to finetune the machine so that it produces exactly the kind of widgets you want. The machine costs $40,000 today and produces 100,000 widgets in year 2. (You cannot produce in year 1 because you have to fine-tune the machine first.) Expected revenues are $1 per widget. The cost of producing widgets depends on the type of gas the machine uses. The machine uses one unit of gas per widget produced. In its current version the machine runs on a gas called "Gas A". The price of "Gas A" in year 2 is uncertain and will be known only at the beginning of year 2. This price will be either $0.75 or $0.25 per unit of gas with equal probability. All revenues and costs (except the cost of the machine) accrue at the end of year 2. The discount rate is 10%. a) What is the NPV of the project? b) The manufacturer of the machine offers you a device that can be attached to the machine. You will have to buy the device…
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $920,000, and it would cost another $20,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $500,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $304,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 25%. a. What is the Year-0 cash flow? b. What are the cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? c. What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? d. If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, what is the NPV?
To automatically insert electronic components in printed circuit boards for a cell phone production line, a $500,000 surface mount placement (SMP) machine is being evaluated by a manufacturing engineer. Over the 10-year planning horizon, it is estimated that the SMP machine will produce annual after-tax cost savings of $92,500. The engineer estimates the machine will be worth $50,000 at the end of the 10-year period. Based on the firm’s 10% after-tax MARR, should the investment be made?

Mr. Buzz Lightyear is the project manager for a satellite project. He calculates that an in-house solution will cost the company $320,000 to create the top-secret software package and based on OPA information, another $10,000 per month to maintain the software. Ms. Hrt Thickl, the purchaser for the project advises Buzz that it would cost the project $233,000 to purchase the software. However the supplier requires a maintenance plan for each program installed which will cost the project $15,000 per month. Once the satellite is built the company plans on orbiting the satellite in a low orbit around Earth for 730 days. Question of Project Procurement
