Homesaver Ltd believes it can sell 10,000 home smoke detectors per year at Rs30 each. They cost Rs20 each to manufacture (variable cost). Fixed production costs will run to R$30,000 per year. The necessary equipment costs Rs150,000 to buy and will be depreciated prime cost to a zero-salvage value over the 5-year life of the project. The actual value will be Rs10,000 in 5 years. The discount rate is 12%, and the tax rate is 30%. What do you think of the proposal?

The purchase price of the machine required to produce a certain part is 40000 TL, the maintenance cost is 14000 TL / year and the scrap value after 5 years is 8000 TL. Since the variable cost in the production of the part is 2.5 TL/piece and the sales price of the piece is 4 TL / piece, how many products should be sold to reach the breakeven point at 12% interest rate?
Jax Inc is considering the purchase of a new machine for the production of computers. Machine A costs $7,000,000 and will last for six years. Variable costs are 25% of sales, and fixed costs are $500,000 annually. Machine B costs $10,000,000 and will last for ten years. Variable costs for the machine are 15% of sales, and fixed costs are $750,000 annually. The sales for each machine will be $4,000,000 per year. The required rate of return is 9%, the tax rate is 21%, and both machines will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation with no salvage value. Calculate the equivalent annual annuity for Machine B. (Round to 2 decimals) What is the Net Present Value for Machine B? (round to 2 decimals)
A salad oil bottling plant can either buy caps for the glass bottles at 5 cents each or install $500,000 worth of plastic molding equipment and manufacture the caps at the plant. The manufacturing engineer estimates the material, labor, and other costs would be 3 cents per cap. (a) If 11 million caps per year are needed and the molding equipment is installed, what is the payback period? (b) The plastic molding equipment would be depreciated by straightline depreciation using a 6-year useful life and no salvage value. Assuming a combined 26% income tax rate, what is the after-tax payback period, and what is the after-tax rate of return?
Your factory has been offered a contract to produce a part for a new printer. The contract would last for three years, and your cash flows from the contract would be $5.02 million per year.

NUBD Inc. is considering two average-risk alternative ways of producing its patented polo shirts. Process X has a cost of P8,000 and will produce net cash flows of P5,000 per year for 2 years. Process Y will cost P11,500 and will produce cash flows of P4,000 per year for 4 years. The company has a contract that requires it to produce the shirts for 4 years, but the patent will expire after 4 years, so the shirts will not be produced after 4 years. Inflation is expected to be zero during the next 4 years. If cash inflows occur at the end of each year, and if NUBD's cost of capital is 10 percent, by what amount will the better project increase NUBD's value? *
