The management of Jasper Equipment Company is planning to purchase a new milling machine that will cost $160,000 installed. The old milling machine has been fully depreciated but can be sold for $15,000. The new machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 10-year economic life to an estimated salvage value of $10,000. If this milling machine will save Jasper $20,000 a year in production expenses, what are the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of this machine? Assume a marginal tax rate of 40 percent. a. $15,000 b. $27,000 c. $21,000 d. $18,000

Ralph’s Bow Works (RBW) is planning to add a new line of bow ties that will require the acquisition of a new knitting and tying machine. The machine will cost $1.3 million. It is classified as a 7-year MACRS asset and will be depreciated as such. Interest costs associated with financing the equipment purchase are estimated to be $50,000 per year. The expected salvage value of the machine at the end of 10 years is $80,000. The decision to add the new line of bow ties will require additional net working capital of $55,000 immediately, $30,000 at the end of year 1, and $10,000 at the end of year 2. RBW expects to sell $370,000 worth of the bow ties during each of the 10 years of product life. RBW expects the sales of its other ties to decline by $23,000 (in year 1) as a result of adding this new line of ties. The lost sales level will remain constant at $23,000 over the 10-year life of the proposed project. The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $70,000 per year.…

The Campbell Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new milling machine. The machine’s base price is $108,000, and it would cost another $12, 500 to modify it for special use by your firm. The machine will be sold after three years for $65,000.

A highly specialized piece of equipment has a first cost of $50,000. If this equipment is purchased, it will be used to produce income (through rental) of $20,000 per year for only four years. At the end of year four, the equipment will be sold for a negligible amount. Estimated annual expenses for upkeep are $3,000 during each of the four years. The MACRS (GDS) recovery period for the equipment is seven years, and the firm’s effective income tax rate is 40%. Solve, (a) If the after-tax MARR is 7% per year, should the equipment be purchased? (b) Rework the problem, assuming that the equipment is placed on standby status such that depreciation is taken over the full MACRS recovery period.
