One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $115,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and that you can purchase it for $150,000 today. The CCA rate applicable to both machines is 30%; neither machine will have any long-term salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $55,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $22,000 per year. All other expenses of the two machines are identical. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000. Your company's tax rate is 45%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 12%. Should your company replace its year-old machine?

One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $120,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages; you can purchase it for $160,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years, after which it has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will contribute EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $40,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $25,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, after which it will have no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $10,909 per year. All other expenses of the two machines are identical. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000.

K Company has purchased a new machine costing $27,000 and the machine is expected to reduce the operating expenses by $7,000 every year. The useful life of machine is 5 years and the machine is expected to have a zero-scrap! value at the end of its useful life. The company's required rate of return is 12%. Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of the machine. (Round intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $490,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $2.87 million. The cost of the machine will decline by $319,000 per year until it reaches $1.275 million, where it will remain. If your required return is 8 percent, should you purchase the machine? If so, when should you purchase it?

An industrial laser can be purchased and installed for $90,000$. Assume that the GDS recovery rate is given for the 7-year period. We expect that the laser stays in service for eight years, and we gain $10,000$ from the disposal of it at the end of year eight. The $11,038$ net annual value that can be attributed to this laser is constant over all the eight years. Assume that the effective income tax rate is $0.25$ and the after-tax MARR equals $15%$ per year. What is the ATCF at the end of year six? Consider the depreciation deduction based on the 7-year period GDS recovery rate.
