Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $515,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will be worth $53,000 at the end of that time. You will save $153,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $78,000 (this is a one-time reduction). If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the IRR for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) IRR %

They will do their own car repairs at a cost of $200 per car, every 6 months. Ignoring taxes and other economic factors, what is the minimum number of cars needed to make the change feasible?

Jeff & Bezos is a fresh groceries delivery company. The company has access to borrowing funds at a pre-tax rate of 8 % per year. Jeff & Bezos pays income taxes using 22 % tax rate. The company would like to start using high-speed low-altitude drones to deliver grocery purchases directly to residential customers' backyards. The required fleet of drones costs $7,500,000. The fleet of drones, due to their heavy usage, would have no salvage value in four years. If the company chooses to buy them, the drones would be losing their economic value following the three-year property class under the MACRS depreciation method. Instead of buying the fleet of the drones, Jeff & Bezos is also contemplating leasing them for an estimated pre-tax annual cost of $2,205,000 per year for four years from a different company, Nets & Flicks, that currently owns the required number of the drones. Jeff & Bezos' net advantage to leasing, a.k.a. NAL, equals (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your…
