eEgg is considering the purchase of a new distributed network computer system to help handle its warehouse inventories. The system costs $60,000 to purchase and install and $30,000 to operate each year. The system is estimated to be useful for 4 years. Management expects the new system to reduce the cost of managing inventories by $62,000 per year. The firm’s cost of capital (discount rate) is 10%. Required: 1. What is the net present value (NPV) of the proposed investment under each of the following independent situations? (Use the appropriate present value factors from Appendix C, TABLE 1 and Appendix C, TABLE 2.) 1a. The firm is not yet profitable and therefore pays no income taxes. 1b. The firm is in the 30% income tax bracket and uses straight-line (SLN) depreciation with no salvage value. Assume MACRS rules do not apply. 1c. The firm is in the 30% income tax bracket and uses double-declining-balance (DDB) depreciation with no salvage value. Given a four-year life, the DDB…
Jamie Williams, the project manager of Arc Systems Ltd. is evaluating a proposal to install solarpanels on the roof of its factory. The panels will cost $150,000 per set. Depending on the price ofelectricity and the efficiency of the panels, the project will increase operating cash flows by either$50,000 per year or $75,000 per year. The useful life of the panels is 5 years. If early resultsindicate savings of $75,000 per year, four additional sets of panels will be installed immediatelyat the same cost with the same projected savings. The probability of either outcome is 50%. Usinga discount rate of 10%:Required:i. Compute the expected NPV of the project if the option to expand is NOT considered. ii. Compute the expected NPV of the project if the option to expand is considered. iii. Why is it important to consider real options in the capital budgeting process? GiveONE (1) specific example.
Management of Blossom Home Furnishings is considering acquiring a new machine that can create customized window treatments.

A landfill has a first cost of $274,000. Actual operating and maintenance costs for the first year will be $48,000. and increase each year by 10%. Expected income for the landfill will be $142,000 each year in actual dollars. The landfill will be operating for 10 years. Inflation will average 5.4%, and a real return of 3.1% is desired.

A constant dollar analysis. $ Round entry to two decimal places. The tolerance is ±20.
Thunderbolt Corporation is considering an investment project to produce electric gadgets. Cathie Wood projected unit sales of these gadgets to be 10,000 in the first year, with growth of 6.5 percent each year over the subsequent five years (so the total project life is six years). Production of these gadgets will require $1,200,000 in net working capital to start. The net working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. Total fixed costs are $3,000,000 per year, variable production costs are $350 per unit, and the units are priced at $850 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $8,400,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a six-year life and has a pre-tax salvage value of $520,000 when the project closes. The tax rate is 25%. a) Using Excel, set up a table that shows your detailed calculation with formulas of the project cash flows for each year throughout the life of the project.
