Now determine what the project's NPV would be when using straight-line depreciation. Using the depreciation method will result in the highest NPV for the project. No other firm would take on this project if Yeatman turns it down. How much should Yeatman reduce the NPV of this project if it discovered that this project would reduce one of its division's net after-tax cash flows by $700 for each year of the four-year project? $2,172 $2,389 $1,846 $1,629

Firm X is considering the replacement of an old machine with one that has a purchase price of $70,000. The current market value of the old machine is $22,000 but the book value is $ 37,000. The firm's combined tax rate is 27%. What is the net cash outflow for the new machine after considering the sale of the old machine? Disregard the effect of depreciation of the new machine if acquired.
A project will increase sales by $184,500 and cash expenses by $88,900. The project will require investment in equipment of $53,000 and be depreciated using straight line depreciation to a zero book value over the four-year life of the project. The company has a marginal tax rate of 21 percent. What is the operating cash flow of the project? $108,552.25 None of these options are correct o $78,306.50 $75,524.00 o $95,600.00
We are evaluating a project that costs $844,200, has a nine-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 80,000 units per year. Price per unit is $54, variable cost per unit is $38, and fixed costs are $760,000 per year. The tax rate is 23 percent, and we require a return of 10 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±15 percent. Saved Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures. (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.) Best-case Worst-case NPV

We are evaluating a project that costs $788,400, has a nine-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 75,000 units per year. Price per unit is $52, variable cost per unit is $36, and fixed costs are $750,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent, and we require a return of 12 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±15 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures.

Companies invest in expansion projects with the expectation of increasing the earnings of its business. Consider the case of Garida Co.: Garida Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 3,000 3,250 3,300 Sales price $17.25 $17.33 $17.45 Variable cost per unit $8.88 $8.92 $9.03 Fixed operating costs $12,500 $13,000 $13,220 Unit sales This project will require an investment of $20,000 in new equipment. Under the new tax law, the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus deprecation at t = 0, so it will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project's four-year life. Garida pays a constant tax rate of 25%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project's net present value (NPV) would be under the new tax law. Which of the following most closely approximates what the project's net present value (NPV)…
The management of Nixon Corporation is investigating purchasing equipment that would cost $550,000 and have a 7 year life with no salvage value. The equipment would allow an expansion of capacity that would increase sales revenues by $380,000 per year and cash operating expenses by $219,000 per year. (Ignore income taxes.) Required: Determine the simple rate of return on the investment. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Garden-Grow Products is considering a new investment whose data are shown below. The equipment would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the project's 3-year life, would have a zero salvage value, and would require some additional working capital that would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1 to 3.) Project cost of capital (r) Net investment in fixed assets (basis) Required new working capital Straight-line deprec. rate Sales revenues, each year Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year Tax rate a. $31,573 b. $30,069 c. $36,550 d. $34,809 e. $33,152 10.0% $75,000 $15,000 33.333% $75,000 $25,000 25.0%
We are evaluating a project that costs $1,920,000, has a 6-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 94,500 units per year. Price per unit is $38.43, variable cost per unit is $23.60, and fixed costs are $839,000 per year. The tax rate is 23 percent and we require a return of 12 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±10 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures. Note: 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. Best-case NPV Worst-case NPV
We are evaluating a project that costs $2,130,000, has a 8-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 90,600 units per year. Price per unit is $38.85, variable cost per unit is $23.95, and fixed costs are $860,000 per year. The tax rate is 25 percent, and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. a. Calculate the base-case operating cash flow and NPV. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. b. What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161. c. If there is a 450-unit decrease in projected sales, how much would the NPV change? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. d. What is the sensitivity…
please give me the correct answer
Gateway Communications is considering a project with an initial fixed assets cost of $1.55 million that will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the 9-year life of the project. At the end of the project the equipment will be sold for an estimated $ 240,000. The project will not change sales but will reduce operating costs by $399,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 11.5 percent. The project will require $52,000 in net working capital, which will be recouped when the project ends. What is the project's NPV?
