FULL QUESTION: Kinky Copies may buy a high-volume copier. The machine costs $100,000 and this cost can be fully depreciated immediately. Kinky anticipates that the machine actually can be sold in 5 years for $30,000. The machine will save $20,000 a year in labor costs but will require an increase in working capital, mainly paper supplies, of $10,000. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 21%, and the discount rate is 8%. (Assume the net working capital will be recovered at the end of Year 5.) What is the NPV of this project? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Modern Artifacts can produce keepsakes that will be sold for $60 each. Nondepreciation fixed costs are $3,000 per year, and variable costs are $30 per unit.

A new electronic process monitor costs $990,000. This cost could be depreciated at 30% per year (Class 10). The monitor would actually be worth $100,000 in five years. The new monitor would save $460,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. The new monitor requires us to increase net working capital by $47,200 when we buy it. Assume a tax rate of 40% and a 15% return. a. Suppose the monitor was assigned a 25% CCA rate. Calculate the new NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) ***NOTE*** Hello, I found an answer key saying the answer is $180,108.50. Hopefully this helps for reference when solving for it. Thanks:)
Blues Bros. Inc. is considering an investment in a computer that is capable of producing various images that are useful in the production of commercial art. The computer would cost P20,000 and have an expected life of eight years. The computer is expected to generate additional annual net cash receipts (before-tax) of P6,000 per year. The computer will be depreciated according to the straight-line method and the firm's marginal tax rate is 25 percent. 1. Refer to Blues Bros. Inc. What is the after-tax payback period for the computer project?

You are considering a proposal to produce and market a new sluffing machine. The most likely outcomes for the project are as follows: Expected sales: 30,000 units per year Unit price: $50 Variable cost: $30 Fixed cost: $300,000 The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $1 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the required rate of return is 12%. However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. In one scenario a sharp rise in the dollar could cause sales to fall 30% below expectations for the life of the project and, if that happens, the unit price would probably be only $40. The good news is that fixed costs could be as low as $200,000, and variable costs would decline in proportion to sales. a. What is project NPV if all variables are as expected? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in thousands not in millions…
