FULL QUESTION: Kinky Copies may buy a high-volume copier. The machine costs $100,000 and this cost can be fully depreciated immediately. Kinky anticipates that the machine actually can be sold in 5 years for $30,000. The machine will save $20,000 a year in labor costs but will require an increase in working capital, mainly paper supplies, of $10,000. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 21%, and the discount rate is 8%. (Assume the net working capital will be recovered at the end of Year 5.) What is the NPV of this project? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
. A is considering the purchase of two alternative machinery. Machine 1 has an expected life of 5 years, will cost Rs. 100 lacs, and will produce net cash flows of Rs.30 lacs per year. Machine 2 has a life of 10 years, will cost Rs.140 million, and will produce net cash flows of Rs.25 million per year. It plans to use the chosen machine for only 10 years. Inflation in operating costs, machinery costs, is expected to be zero, and the company’s cost of capital is 12%. Which machine is acceptable as the better project? What is the equivalent annual annuity cost for each machine and by this criterion, which machine is acceptable?
A corporation is considering purchasing a machine that will save $150,000 per year before taxes. The cost of operating the machine (including maintenance) is $30,000 per year. The machine will be needed for five years, after which it will have a zero salvage value. MACRS depreciation will be used, assuming a three-year class life. The marginal income tax rate is 25%. If the firm wants 15% return on investment after taxes, how much can it afford to pay for this machine? Click the icon to view the MACRS depreciation schedules Click the icon to view the interest factors for discrete compounding when /- 15% per year. If the firm wants 15% return on investment after taxes, it can afford to pay thousand for this machine. (Round to one decimal place.)

The purchase price of the machine required to produce a certain part is 40000 TL, the maintenance cost is 14000 TL / year and the scrap value after 5 years is 8000 TL. Since the variable cost in the production of the part is 2.5 TL/piece and the sales price of the piece is 4 TL / piece, how many products should be sold to reach the breakeven point at 12% interest rate?

Your company is analyzing purchase of a machine costing $5,900 today. The investment promises to add $18,500 to sales one year from today, $14,500 two years from today, and $18,000 three years from today. Incremental cash costs should consume 75% of the incremental sales. The tax rate is 30% and the company’s financing rate is 8.2%. The investment cost is depreciated to zero over a 3-year straight-line schedule. What is the IRR for the project?
