Kolby's Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $670,000. The asset qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation and can be scrapped for $88,000 at the end of the project's 5-year life. The sausage system will save the firm $213,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $41,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV

A firm has the opportunity to invest in a project having an initial outlay of $20,000. Net cash inflows (before depreciation and taxes) are expected to be $5,000 per year for five years. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method with a zero salvage value and has a (marginal) income tax rate of 40 percent. The firms cost of capital is 12 percent. Compute the IRR and the NPV. Should the firm accept or reject the project?
Consider a project to supply Detroit with 27,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $4,600,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 5 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,100,000 and that variable costs should be $205 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 5-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $475,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $308 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $440,000. You require a return of 12 percent and face a tax rate of 23 percent on this project. a. Suppose you’re confident about your own projections, but you’re a little unsure about Detroit’s actual machine screw…
A process plant making 5000kg /day of a product selling for $1.75 per kg has annual directproduction costs of $2 million at 100 percent capacity and other fixed costs of $700,000. What isthe fixed charge per kg at the break-even point? If the selling price of the product is increased by10 percent, what is the dollar increase in net profit at full capacity if the income tax rate is 35percent of gross earnings?
An investment of $1.000.000 will be included in the 7-year MACRS class for depreciation. It would also require an additional $150,000 to invest in inventory and would add $50,000 to accounts payable. Will generate $400000 in revenue and $150000 in cash expenses annually. The tax rate is 21 per cent. What are the incremental cash flows for years 0, 1, 7 and 8?
Outdoor Sports is considering adding a putt putt golf course to its facility. The course would cost $167,000, would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 6-year life, and would have a zero salvage value. The sales would be $84,000 a year, with variable costs of $27,400 and fixed costs of $12,000. In addition, the firm anticipates an additional $15,300 in revenue from its existing facilities if the putt putt course is added. The project will require $2,600 of net working capital, which is recoverable at the end of the project. What is the net present value of this project at a discount rate of 12 percent and a tax rate of 40 percent?
The division director for Sandhill Corporation's Mississippi division, which operates as an investment center, is considering investing in machinery which costs of $2230000 and is expected to generate $353000 in additional operating income.

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $270,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $73,000 per year. The Techron II costs $470,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $46,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $50,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (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.) Techron I Techron II

Question 2: A new bottle-capping machine costs $45 000, including $5 000 for installation. Operating and maintenance costs are expected to be $3 000 for the first year, increasing by $ 1 000 each year thereafter. The salvage value is calculated by straight-line depreciation where a value of 0 is assumed at the end of the service life. a) Construct a spreadsheet that computes the equivalent annual cost (EAC) for the bottle capper. What is the economic life if the expected service life is 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 years? Interest is 12%./ b) How sensitive is the economic life to the different length of service life? Construct a sensitivity graph to illustrate this point.
Your company is considering the purchase of a 30-tonne hoist. The first cost is expected to be $230,000. Net savings will be $38,000 per year over a 12-year life and will be salvaged for $32,715. If the company's after-tax MARR is 8% and it is taxed at 45%, what is the future worth (FW) of this project? Note: You will have to calculate the CCA depreciation rate from the information provided.
llana Industries, Inc., needs a new lathe. It can buy a new high-speed lathe for $1.03 million. The lathe will cost $39,000 to run, will save the firm $118,900 in labour costs, and will be useful for 10 years. Suppose that for tax purposes, the lathe will be in an asset class with a CCA rate of 25% lana has many other assets in this asset class. The lathe is expected to have a 10-year life with a salvage value of $98,000. The actual market value of the lathe at that time will also be $98,000. The discount rate is 15% and the corporate tax rate is 35% What is the NPV of buying the new lathe? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) NPV S
1) A public agency is obliged to purchase a compressor with an economic life of 10 years or by leasing at the same time. The purchase price of the compressor is 7.500.000 TL, and if it is purchased, it will bear 250.000 TL annual electricity consumption expense, 300.000 TL standard maintenance repair expenses and an additional 600.000 TL maintenance expenses every two years. The scrap value of the compressor is 1.500.000 TL. If the compressor is not purchased and a lease is chosen, 2,500,000 rents per year, including all operating expenses, will be paid for 10 years. Since the annual nominal interest rate is 22%, evaluate the way in which the public agency should obtain the compressor according to the ANNUAL EXPENSE method.
