Guelph Inc. would like you to assess the after-tax viability of a new machine using annual worth analysis. The machine costs $1,000,000 and are expected to save the company $175,000/y for the next 15 years. Guelph Inc. plans to sell the machine at the end of 15 years. The estimated salvage value of the machine at the end of its life is unknown, but Guelph Inc. suspects its depreciation will be similar to the CCA rate for the machine: 20%. Should Guelph Inc. invest in the machine, assuming they use an annual MARR of 10% and their corporate tax rate is 30%?

The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $71,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $18,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $8,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $26,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%) 1. Depreciation expense 2.

Cramden Armored Car Co. is considering the acquisition of a new armored truck. The truck is expected to cost $300,000. The company's discount rate is 12 percent. The firm has determined that the truck generates a positive net present value of $17,022. However, the firm is uncertain as to whether it has determined a reasonable estimate of the salvage value of the truck. In computing the net present value, the company assumed that the truck would be salvaged at the end of the fifth year for $60,000. What expected salvage value for the truck would cause the investment to generate a net present value of $0? Ignore taxes. * A. $30,000 B. $0 C. $55,278 D. $42,978
AR company is considering a new three-year project to build on the land they bought at1 million dollars 3 year ago. The land is worth of 1.5 million dollars today. The companyhires an analyst for research and this preliminary research takes $5,000. The projectrequires an initial fixed asset investment of $360,000 which will be depreciated straightline to zero over its three-year tax life with no salvage value. The project is estimated togenerate $1,500,000 in annual sales, with costs of $350,000. Assume that the tax rate is35% and the WACC is 12%.

Rooney, Incorporated is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $700,000. The machine's useful life is expected to be 8 years with no salvage value. The straight-line depreciation method will be used. The net increase in annual after-tax cash flow is expected to be $156,000. Rooney estimates its cost of capital to be 12%. (The present value of a $1 annuity for 8 years at 12% is 4.968, and the present value of $1 to be received in 8 years is 0.404.) The net present value of the investment in the machine under consideration is: Multiple Choice $156,000. $75,008. $87,500. $126.800.
The Oviedo Company is considering the purchase of a new machine to replace an obsolete one. The machine being used for the operation has a book value and a market value of zero. However, the machine is in good working order and will last at least another 10 years. The proposed replacement machine will perform the operation so much more efficiently that Oviedo's engineers estimate that it will produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $5,000 per year. The new machine will cost $35,000 delivered and installed, and its economic life is estimated to be 10 years. It has zero salvage value. The firm's WACC is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%. Should Oviedo buy the new machine?
Blossom Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The invoice price of the machine is $151,000, freight charges are estimated to be $4,000, and installation costs are expected to be $6,000. The salvage value of the new equipment is expected to be zero after a useful life of 5 years. The company could retain the existing equipment and use it for an additional 5 years if it doesn't purchase the new machine. At that time, the equipment's salvage value would be zero. If Blossom purchases the new machine now, it would have to scrap the existing machine. Blossom's accountant, Donna Clark, has accumulated the following data for annual sales and expenses, with and without the new machine: 1. 2. 3. Without the new machine, Blossom can sell 13,000 units of product annually at a per-unit selling price of $100. If it purchases the new machine, the number of units produced and sold would increase by 10%, and the selling price would remain the same. The new machine is faster than the old…
