Q4: The Government of Punjab (GoP) has just opened a new subway line (the Orange Line) in its underground transportation network. The Orange Line had a capital investment of $20 million, expected operating and maintenance expenses are $3 million per year, and the final salvage value at the end of a 40-year life is negligible. If the revenue generated by each customer is $3, Solve that how many customers per day will be required before the Orange Line can break even? The (GoP) hurdle (interest) rate is 5% compounded annually. Assume there are 365 days in a year.

The Bank of China is considering an application from the Government of the Republic of Zambia for a large dam project. Some costs and benefits of the project (in Kwacha values) are as follows: Construction costs: K500 million per year for three years Operating costs: K50 million per year Hydropower to be generated: 3 billion kilowatt hours per year Price of electricity: K0.05 per kilowatt hour Irrigation water available from dam: 5 billion liters per year Price of irrigation water: K0.02 per liter Agricultural product lost from flooded lands: K45 million per year Forest products lost from flooded lands: K20 million per year Assume that the project incurs no ecological and other costs besides the ones stated above. Do a formal cost-benefit analysis encompassing all of the quantifiable factors listed above. Assume that the lifespan of the dam is 10 years and that construction begins in Year 0. All other impacts start once the dam is completed and continue for 10 years. Use 5%…
Q. 1 Fatih's plant is trying to decide to buy another CNC machine or not. The machine will cost $20,000 when purchased. Maintenance will cost $1000 per year. The device will generate revenues of $5000 per year for 5 years. The salvage value is $7000. Draw and simplify the cash flow diagram.
Petal Industries is deciding whether to automate one phase of its production process. The manufacturing equipment has a six-year life and will cost $915,000. Projected net cash inflows are as follows: Year 1 $263,000 Year 2 252,000 Year 3 222,000 Year 4 214,000 Year 5 201,000 Year 6 178,000 1. Compute this project's NPV using Petal's 14% hurdle rate. Should Petal invest in the equipment? 2. Petal could refurbish the equipment at the end of six years for $100,000. The refurbished equipment could be used one more year, providing $77,000 of net cash inflows in year 7. Additionally, the refurbished equipment would have a $52,000 residual value at the end of year 7. Should Petal invest in the equipment and refurbish it after six years? (Hint: In addition to your answer to Requirement 1, discount the additional cash outflow and inflows back to the present value.)
3. Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $730,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's 7- year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $100,000. The sausage system will save the firm $213,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $65,000. A. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment? B. What is the annual operating cash flow? C. If the tax rate is 25 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
Management of Daniel Jackson, a confectioner, is considering purchasing a new jelly bean-making machine at a cost of $256,144. They project that the cash flows from this investment will be $102,150 for the next seven years. If the appropriate discount rate is 14 percent, what is the IRR that Daniel Jackson management can expect on this project? (Do not round discount factors. Round other intermediate calculations to 0 decimal places e.g. 15 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.25%.)
LePew Cosmetics is evaluating a new fragrance-mixing machine. The machine requires an initial investment of $360000 and will generate cash inflows of $63450 per year for 8 years. If the cost of capital is 14%, calculate the net present value (NPV) and indicate whether to accept or reject the machine. The NPV of the project is $__________
What is the net present value of the flier project, which is a 3-year project where Dispersion would spread fliers all over Fairfax? The project would involve an initial investment in equipment of $232,000.00 today. To finance the project, Dispersion would borrow $232,000.00. The firm would receive $232,000.00 from the bank today and would pay the bank $294,695.40 in 3 years (consisting of an interest payment of $62,695.40 and a principal payment of $232,000.00). Cash flows from capital spending would be $0.00 in year 1, $0.00 in year 2, and $30,500.00 in year 3. Operating cash flows are expected to be $144,900.00 in year 1, $99,400.00 in year 2, and -$28,200.00 in year 3. The cash flow effects from the change in net working capital are expected to be -$8,310.00 at time 0; -$21,700.00 in year 1; $12,100.00 in year 2, and $16,900.00 in year 3. The tax rate is 35.00 percent. The cost of capital is 7.45 percent and the interest rate on the loan would be 8.03 percent. -$13,600.79 (plus or…

give me the right answer only ASAP Suppose we are thinking about replacing an old computer with a new one. The old one cost us $1.4 million; the new one will cost $1.7 million. The new machine will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will probably be worth about $325,000 after five years. The old computer is being depreciated at a rate of $281,000 per year. It will be completely written off in three years. If we don’t replace it now, we will have to replace it in two years. We can sell it now for $450,000; in two years, it will probably be worth $130,000. The new machine will save us $315,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate is 22 percent, and the discount rate is 12 percent. a-1. Calculate the EAC for the old and the new computer. (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.) a-2. What is the NPV of the decision to…
