QUESTION 3 You are considering starting a new factory producing small electric heaters. Each unit will sell at a price of $55. The production cost of each heater is $35. You are expecting to sell 9000 units per year. This project has an economic life of 6 years. The project requires an investment of $700000 in plants and equipment. This equipment will be depreciated to zero salvage value based on 5-year MACRS schedule. The depreciation rates from year 1 to 6 are 20 % ,32 %, 19.2 %, 11.52 %, 11.52 %, and 5.76 percent, respectively. The company will sell its old equipment for $100,000. The old machine is fully depreciated. The required rate of return for the project is 12 percent, the working capital requirement is 10 percent of the next year's sales revenue. The marginal corporate tax rate is 20 percent. At the termination of the project, the plant and equipment will be sold for an estimated value of $50000. Based on these assumptions, estimate the cash flow for capital expenditures.…

Scenario 1: Four years ago, The Kresser Sdn. Bhd. purchased an Industrial Shredder Machine. Because of increasing maintenance costs for this equipment, a new piece of machine is being considered for the assembly line. The cost characteristics of the defender (present machine) and the challenger are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 Defender Original cost = RM9,000 Maintenance = RM500 in year one (four years ago) increasing by a uniform gradient of RM100 per year thereafter Market Value (MV) at end of life = 0 Original estimated life = 9 years Challenger Purchased cost =RM11,000 Maintenance = RM150 per year 2 Market Value (MV) at end of life = RM3,000 Estimated life = 5 years Suppose a RM6,000 Market value is available now for the defender. Perform a before- tax analysis, using before-tax MARR of 15%, to determine which alternative to select. Be sure to state all important assumptions you make, and utilize a uniform gradient in your analysis of the defender.
Question 07: Virat Kohli Welders is planning to replace an old machine with a new one to improve efficiency in its production process. The machine will increase the efficiency as it is more modern and will result in an incremental savings of $80,000 per year. The old machine was bought 3 years ago at a cost of $270,000. The new machine will cost $420,000. Both machines have useful lives of 6 years. The machines are depreciated to zero for tax purpose over the six-year life using a straight-line depreciation method. The tax rate is 34% and the required rate of return is 11%. The old machine has no salvage value at the end of its life but can be sold now at a cost of $100,000. The new machine will have a salvage value of $80,000 at the end of its life. Should the new machine be purchased?
