Management is contemplating the purchase of a new oven which cost $25,000 with an estimated salvage value of zero. Expected before tax cash savings from the new oven are $4,000 a year over its full depreciable life. Depreciation is computed using straight line over a 5 year life, and the cost of capital is 10%. At the end of the oven's life, it can be sold for $2,000. Assume a 40% tax rate. 4. What is the net present value of the new oven? IRR?
Pinky Company plans to buy a new machine to increase its plant's productive capacity. The new machine's estimated installed cost is P 50,000. It is expected to have no salvage value at the end of its useful life of 5 years. Based on Pinky's projections, the new machine can produce 100,000 units of product per year. Because of the high demand for this product for which thr company sells at L5 each (cash), it is expected that all units produced will be sold. Relevant production, selling and administrative costs related to the product amount to P3 each, exclusive of depreciation. The company pays income tax at rate of 30% of taxable income. Required: a Accounting net income from the new machine. b. The net cash inflows from the project.
Your company is considering taking on a new project that will cost $200,000. It is estimated that the system will increase sales/revenues by $150,000 annually for Years 1-6. Operating expenses, other than depreciation, are expected to be equal to 60 percent of sales in each year. The system will be depreciated on a MACRS basis over 5 years (depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12% 11%, and 6%) to a zero book value, but the expected salvage at Year 6 is $40,000. The firm will also be required to invest $25,000 in net working capital at Year 0, but will recapture this amount at Year 6. You may assume that the tax rate on ordinary income is 40 percent (record negative taxes as a positive cash flow). As you can calculate, the IRR for this project is 13.02%. If we assume that the firm's cost of capital for this project is 11 percent, then what is the NPV for this project? $29,055.63 O $37.201.15 $6,874.69 $21,301.58 O $13,915.29

The Adderley Corporation is considering investing in a new machine that has an estimated life of three years. The cost of the machine (in 5 millions) is $500 and the machine will be depreciated straight line over its three-year life to a residual value of $0. The machine will result in sales of 300 million widgets in year 1 with future sales estimated to grow by 10% per year. The price per widget that Adderley will charge its customers is $19 and is to remain constant over the three years. The widgets have a cost per unit to manufacture of $7 each. Installing the machine and the resulting increase in manufacturing capacity will require an increase in various net working capital accounts. It is estimated that the company will need to hold 3% of its annual revenues in cash, 4% of its annual revenues in accounts receivable, 13% of its annual revenues in inventory, but will also benefit from trade financing (ie, accounts payable) equal to 6% of its annual revenues. The firm is in the 28%…
RealTurf is considering purchasing an automatic sprinkler system for its sod farm by borrowing the entire $30,000 purchase price. The loan would be repaid with four equal annual payments at an interest rate of 12%/year. It is anticipated that the sprinkler system would be used for 9 years and then sold for a salvage value of $2,000. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the system over the 9-year life are estimated to be $9,000 per year. If the new system is purchased, cost savings of $15,000 per year will be realized over the present manual watering system. RealTurf uses a MARR of 15%/year for economic decision making. Based on a present worth analysis, is the purchase of the new sprinkler system economically attractive?
Prescott Corporation is considering an investment in new equipment costing $912,000.
