Galvanized Products is considering purchasing a new computer system for their enterprise data management system. The vendor has quoted a purchase price of $100,000. Galvanized Products is planning to borrow one-fourth of the purchase price from a bank at 15% compounded annually. The loan is to be repaid using equal annual payments over a 3-year period. The computer system is expected to last 5 years and has a salvage value of $4,000 at that time. Over the 5-year period, Galvanized Products expects to pay a technician $27,000 per year to maintain the system but will save $57,000 per year through increased efficiencies. Galvanized Products uses a MARR of 14%/year to evaluate investments. a. What is the external rate of return of this investment? ERR = % Do all calculations to 5 decimal places and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Tolerance is +/-.2
Managers at Eller Manufacturing are considering purchasing a new refrigerated delivery truck that will produce equal annual cash flows of $36,000 for 6 years. The truck's net present value is $12,780, its cost is $144,000, its useful life is 6 years, and its annual depreciation expense (no salvage value) is $24,000. What is the discount rate used by Eller to evaluate this project?
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. Round answer to O decimal places, e.g. 52.25. Enter negative amounts using negative sign e.g. -45.25.) NPV $ 36695.55 What is the internal rate of return?

Stevie’s Sporting Goods is considering investing $33,000 in a new machine. The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value of $8,000. Annual after-tax net cash inflow from the machine is expected to be $7,000. Calculate the accounting rate of return (aka the unadjusted rate of return). (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to one decimal place, but do NOT include the percentage sign. For example: 5 divided by 35 is 0.142857, which you would enter as “14.3”)
Mars Inc. is considering a 5-year project that requires a new machine that costs $65,000, and an additional net working capital of $4,000, which will be recovered when the project ends in 5 years. This project would increase the firm's revenues by $21,000 per year and its operating costs by $9,000 per year. Mars will use the 3-year MACRS to depreciate the machine, and it expects to sell the machine at the end of the project for $19,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 28 percent, and the project's cost of capital is 14 percent. What is the net cash flow at year 5, the final year? MACRS 3-year schedule is as follows: 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% for years 1 to 4, respectively. Question 14 options: $24,760 $25,460 $25,840 $26,320 $26,680 $27,140
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.
The Candida Company wants to purchase a new machine for its factory operations at a cost of $475,000. The investment is expected to generate $175,000 in annual cash flows for a period of four years.

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.

Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $120,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $30,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $12,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $40,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 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 initial investment used for calculating the machine's simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3% 1. Depreciation expense 2.

Master Lock is evaluating whether to replace an older laser engraving machine to inscribe logos with a new machine. – The initial investment to acquire the machine is $380,000. – The machine has an expected useful life of 5 years. – The new machine would generates annual cost savings of $100,0000 (cash flows) one each of the five years. – The discount rate (or required rate of return) is 8%. • What’s the NPV (assume no taxes or inflation)?
You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $117,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $45,000. The machine would require a $10,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $34,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 11%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? I. Last year's expenditure is considered an opportunity cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. II. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included…
Joanette, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $420,000 and would last for 5 years, at the end of which, the machine would have a salvage value of $42,000.
