If Lew's Steel Forms purchases $500,000 of new equipment, they can lower annual operating costs by $216,000. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over its 5-year life. At the end of three years, the equipment will be sold for an estimated $180,000. The equipment will no change in working capital. What is the NPV (in whole dollar) if the discount rate is 14 percent and the tax rate is 25 percent? {Hint: Use the method discussed in one of the special case.}

Net Present value means the summation of all the present values of the cashflows incurred as well as…

A 7-year project is expected to provide annual sales of $221,000 with costs of $97,500. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $360,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line method over the life of the project. You feel that both sales and costs are accurate to +/-15 percent. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow for the worst-case scenario? es Multiple Choice $77,946 $44,504 0 $70,623 $129,329 $49.221
3. Suppose that the new equipment has a cost basis of $12,000 and a salvage value of $3,000 at the end of 6 years. This asset is depreciated by the Straight-Line method. The effective income tax rate is 40 % and the after-tax MARR ic = 10%. If the company is going to sell this asset after 3 years at the market value of $6,000, what is the minimum profit per year this asset should produce to breakeven the investment? (20%)
A corporation is considering purchasing a machine that will save $150,000 per year before taxes. The cost of operating the machine (including maintenance) is $30,000 per year. The machine will be needed for five years, after which it will have a zero salvage value. MACRS depreciation will be used, assuming a three-year class life. The marginal income tax rate is 25%. If the firm wants 15% return on investment after taxes, how much can it afford to pay for this machine?

Oriole Corporation is considering adding a new product line. The cost of the factory and equipment to produce this product is $1,700,000. Company management expects net cash flows from the sale of this product to be $630,000 in each of the next eight years. If Oriole uses a discount rate of 11 percent for projects like this, what is the net present value of this project? (Round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 0.42354.

You are evaluating a proposed acquisition of a new machine costing $50,000. While the machine is expected to last for 5 years, it falls into the MACRS 3-year class. Purchase of the machine would require an increase of net operating working capital of $2,000. The machine would increase the firm's revenue by $19,000 per year and its operating costs by $10,000 per year. The firm's marginal tax rate is 29 percent, and the project's cost of capital is 14 percent. What is the operating cash flow in Year 2? MACRS 3-year schedule is as follows: 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% for years 1 to 4, respectively. Question 11 options: $11,675 $11,885 $12,095 $12,425 $12,585 $12,915
A project that provides annual cash flows of $11322 for eight years costs $80145 today. At what discount rate would you be indifferent between accepting the project and rejecting it? (Enter your answer as a percentage, omit the "%" sign in your response, and round your answer to 2 decimal places. For example, 0.12345 or 12.345% should be entered as 12.35.)
A 21%-tax bracket firm (Lessee) is considering the use, for two years, of a truck that costs $150,000 today. This firm can buy the asset or lease it from another 21%-tax bracket firm (Lessor) in exchange for $50,000 per year, with the first payment due at the time of signing. What is the Lessee's Time 0 incremental cash flow of buying the asset instead of leasing it?
A new machine costs $798,410 and falls in a 26.50% CCA class. The machine will have zero value after 5 years of use but will save $370,940 annually in operating costs before taxes in those five years. Assume a tax rate of 32.73%. Using a required return of 13.67%, what is the present value of the CCA tax shield? Question 18 options: $157,975 $162,026 $166,076 $170,127 $174,178
Izmir Endustri will buy a CNC machine for 100,000 dollars. The economic life of the bench is 10 years and has no scrap value. The capital cost is 40% and a 50% tax is levied on the calculated capital cost each year. Using the accelerated depreciation method, write the current value of the depreciation, tax and tax collected each year in a tabular form, taking into account the cost of capital.
Ilana Industries Incorporated needs a new lathe. It can buy a new high-speed lathe for $1 million. The lathe will cost $35,000 per year to run, but it will save the firm $125,000 in labor costs and will be useful for 10 years. Suppose that, for tax purposes, the lathe is entitled to 100% bonus depreciation. At the end of the 10 years, the lathe can be sold for $100,000. The discount rate is 8%, and the corporate tax rate is 21%. What is the NPV of buying the new lathe? Note: A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
