Nguyen Inc. is considering the purchase of a new computer system (ICX) for $140,000. The system will require an additional $20,000 for installation. If the new computer is purchased it will replace an old system that has been fully depreciated. The new system will be depreciated over a period of 8 years using straight-line depreciation. If the ICX is purchased, the old system will be sold for $20,000. The ICX system, which has a useful life of 8 years, is expected to increase revenues by $31,000 per year over its useful life. Operating costs are expected to decrease by $3,000 per year over the life of the system. The firm is taxed at a 40 percent marginal rate. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. A. what investment is required to acquire the ICX system and replace the old system? B. compute the annual net cash flows associated with the purchase of the ICX system.

Ralph’s Bow Works (RBW) is planning to add a new line of bow ties that will require the acquisition of a new knitting and tying machine. The machine will cost $1.3 million. It is classified as a 7-year MACRS asset and will be depreciated as such. Interest costs associated with financing the equipment purchase are estimated to be $50,000 per year. The expected salvage value of the machine at the end of 10 years is $80,000. The decision to add the new line of bow ties will require additional net working capital of $55,000 immediately, $30,000 at the end of year 1, and $10,000 at the end of year 2. RBW expects to sell $370,000 worth of the bow ties during each of the 10 years of product life. RBW expects the sales of its other ties to decline by $23,000 (in year 1) as a result of adding this new line of ties. The lost sales level will remain constant at $23,000 over the 10-year life of the proposed project. The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $70,000 per year.…

Market Top Investors, Inc., is considering the purchase of a $345,000 computer with an economic life of five years. The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight-line method, at which time it will be worth $60,000. The computer will replace two office employees whose combined annual salaries are $86,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm's required net working capital by $75,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 8 percent.

Riverview Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new production machine. The machine's base price is $200,000, and installation costs would amount to $28,000. Also, $10,000 in net working capital would be required at installation. The machine will be depreciated for 3 years using simplified straight line depreciation. The machine would save the firm $110,000 per year in operating costs. The firm is planning to keep the machine in place for 2 years. At the end of the second year, the machine will be sold for $100,000. Riverview has a cost of capital of 12% and a marginal tax rate of 34%.

An engineer is working on the layout of a new research and experimentation facility. Two plant operators will be required. If, however, an additional $150,000 of instrumentation and remote controls were added, the plant could be run by a single operator. The total before-tax cost of each plant operator is projected to be $52,500 per year. The instrumentation and controls will be depreciated using the MACRS 5-year depreciation schedule.(a) Find the rate of return on the project, and the after tax payback period.(b) Based on a MARR of 15%, is this a desirable investment?

Tucker Enterprise Inc. is considering a project that requires a numerically controlled (NC) machine for $28,000 (year 0) and plans to use it for five years, after which time it will be scrapped. The allowed depreciation deduction during the first year is $4,000 because the equipment falls into the seven-year MACRS property category. (The first-year depreciation rate is 14.29%.) The cost of the goods produced by this NC machine should include a charge for the depreciation of the machine. Suppose the company estimates the following revenues and expenses, including the depreciation for the first operating year:• Gross income = $50,000• Cost of goods sold = $20,000• Depreciation on the NC machine= $4,000• Operating expenses = $6,000Without the project, the company's taxable income from regular business operations amounts to $20 million, which places the company in the highest tax bracket of 35%. Compute the net income from the project during the first year.
