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.)
The initial cost of one customized machine is $675,000 with an annual operating cost of $14,800, and a life of 4 years. The machine will be worthless and replaced at the end of its life. What is the equivalent annual cost of this machine if the required rate of return is 14.5 percent and we ignore taxes? USING EXCEL FORMULAS
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 most likely outcomes for a particular project are estimated as follows: Unit price: Variable cost: Fixed cost: Expected sales: 50 24 30 $370,000 36,000 units per year However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 10% higher or 10% lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $1.4 million, which will be depreclated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 21% and the required rate of return is 14%. (For all the requirements, a negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) a. What is project NPV in the best-case scenario, that is, assuming all variables take on the best possible value? b. What is project NPV in the worst-case scenario?
