KOne year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $110,000. You have learned that a newmachine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $145,000 today. It will be depreciated ona straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a grossmargin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $45,000 per year for the next 10 years. Thecurrent machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $24,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciatedon a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the currentmachine is $10,000 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $60,000. Your company's tax rate is35%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10%. Should your company replace its year-oldmachine?The NPV of replacing the year-old machine is $(Round to the nearest dollar.)

Listen You want to buy a new equipment to replace an existing one. The new equipment will be depreciated down to zero using straight-line depreciation over its 10-year life. The project is a 10-year project. The market value of the new equipment at the end of year 10 is expected to be 0. The new equipment will replace an existing old equipment that has 10 years left of depreciation at a $3,000 a year. The estimated before tax proceeds from selling this existing equipment is $15,000 today. The market value in 10 years for this old equipment would be 0. The new equipment will generate annual cost savings of $12,000 before taxes. The tax rate is 20% and the discounting rate is 10%. What is the maximum price you are willing to pay today for the new equipment? For your answer, do not enter the dollar sign ($), DO NOT use commas, and you can round to zato decimals (the nearest dollar). Your Answer: Answer
Two years ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for RM140,000. Although the machine had performed as expected, you have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages; you can purchase it for RM150,000 today, plus an additional RM10,000 in shipping and RM5,000 training costs.The new machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years and has nosalvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of RM40,000 per year for the next five years. Upon buying the machine, it requires inventories to increase by RM20,000 and accounts payable increase by RM10,000. The change in Net Operating Working Capital is expected to be fully recovered at year five. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of RM20,000 per year. Thecurrent machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 7 years, and has no salvage value, so…

1. Howell Petroleum is considering a new project that complements its existing business. The machine required for the project costs $3.82 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $2.52 million per year for the next four years, after which the firm expects to sell it for $500,000. The machine is a five-year class asset and will be depreciated down to zero over five years under the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. Howell also needs to add net working capital of $200,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. The required rate of return (or discount rate) for the project is 12.5 percent. Compute the NPV, IRR, and payback period of the project. The firm’s acceptable payback period is 3 years. Is this project acceptable to the firm?
None

HelloPlease solve the question
give me the right answer only ASAP Suppose we are thinking about replacing an old computer with a new one. The old one cost us $1.4 million; the new one will cost $1.7 million. The new machine will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will probably be worth about $325,000 after five years. The old computer is being depreciated at a rate of $281,000 per year. It will be completely written off in three years. If we don’t replace it now, we will have to replace it in two years. We can sell it now for $450,000; in two years, it will probably be worth $130,000. The new machine will save us $315,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate is 22 percent, and the discount rate is 12 percent. a-1. Calculate the EAC for the old and the new computer. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a-2. What is the NPV of the decision to…
A company invested P100,000 to purchase a new equipment that wil We used to increase the profit but it is expected to be realized after two years from the year of purchase. The said profit was P50,000 per year for four years. Three years later, the company purchased an add-on to the machine worth P75,000. Due to that add on, the profit increased to P85,000 and lasted for five more years. If the company decided to sell that equipment for P8,000 and MARR is 15% per year
Lowell Inc. is thinking about replacing an old computer with a new one. The new one will cost $1,000,000 and will have a life of FOUR years. The new computer qualifies as 5-year MACRS property. Years 1 2 3 4 Depreciation rate 20% 32% 19% 12% It will probably be worth about $330,000 after FOUR years. The old computer is being depreciated at a rate of $100,000 per year. It will be completely written off in FOUR years, at that time it will have zero resale value. We can sell it now for $410,000 after taxes. The new machine will save us $200,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate (federal plus state) is 25 percent and WACC is 8 percent. What is the TOTAL FREE CASH FLOW FOR YEAR 4? Free cash flow = Total Initial Investment + Total annual project CF + Total Salvage Value 480,000 467,500 445,000 422,500
* 00 The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $67000. 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 could be sold now for a salvage value of $29,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. 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.
