Problem 6-8 Project EvaluationDog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $445,000.This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at theend of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $53,000. The sausage system willsave the firm $139,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires aninitial investment in net working capital of $25,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and thediscount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediatecalculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)NPV

At the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equipment would be sold for its salvage value of $400,000. The company's discount rate is 14%. The project would provide net operating income each year as follows: Sales Variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses: Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs Depreciation Total fixed expenses Net operating income. $ 642,000 481,000 Present value $2,741,000 1,125,000 1,616,000 1,123,000 $ 493,000 Click here to view Exhibit 10-1 and Exhibit 10-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: What is the present value of the project's annual net cash inflows? (Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Question 5 An investment of $50,000 is made to purchase machinery that will allow us to manufacture a new product. The annual expenses to make the product are (5,000 + 5x) and the revenues from the product are 30 x, where x = the number of products sold each year. How many products must be sold per year, x, to break even? Consider a 7 year project life and an MARR of 12%.

New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the Year-0 cash flow? What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
Austins cell phone manufacturer wants to upgrade their product mix to encompass an exciting new feature on their cell phone. This would require a new high-tech machine. You are excited about his new project and are recommending the purchase to your board of directors. Here is the information you have compiled in order to complete this recommendation: According to the information, the project will last 10 years and require an initial investment of $800,000, depreciated with straight-line over the life of the project until the final value is zero. The firms tax rate is 30% and the required rate of return is 12%. You believe that the variable cost and sales volume may be as much as 10% higher or lower than the initial estimate. Your boss understands the risks but asks you to explain the alternatives in a brief memo to the board, Write a memo to the Board of Directors objectively weighing out the pros and cons of this project and make your recommendation(s).
REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from 24,000 to 46,000 per year. The new machine will cost 80,000; and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 10%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer.
