Assume that Walmart Inc. has decided to surface and maintain for 10 years a vacant lot next to one of its stores to serve as a parking lot for customers. Management is considering the following bids involving two different qualities of surfacing for a parking area of 12,000 square yards. Bid A: A surface that costs $5.75 per square yard to install. This surface will have to be replaced at the end of 5 years. The annual maintenance cost on this surface is estimated at 25 cents per square yard for each year except the last year of its service. The replacement surface will be similar to the initial surface. Bid B: A surface that costs $10.50 per square yard to install. This surface has a probable useful life of 10 years and will require annual maintenance in each year except the last year, at an estimated cost of 9 cents per square yard. Click here to view factor tables. Compute present value of the bids. You may assume that the cost of capital is 9%, that the annual maintenance…

Two years ago, Amys Inc. purchased land at a price of $3,000,000 plus $460,000 in real estate costs. Today, this new land has a market value of $4,000,000. The firm is now considering building a factory on that land. The construction cost of the factory is estimated at $295,000. In addition, $70,000 worth of leveling the surface of the land will be required to prepare the construction site. What is the initial cash flow of this project? Explain your answer in detail.
Special Instrument company is considering replacing its machine with a new model that sells for $40,000, the cost of installation is $6,000. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has a $2500 salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated as a 3-year MACRS asset. Revenues are expected to increase $18,000 per year over the 5-year life of the new machine. At the end of 5 years the new machine is expected to have a $1500 salvage value. What is the NPV for this project if Special Instrument has a required rate of return of 12% and a marginal tax rate of 35%? Operating costs are not expected to increase from the current level of $8,000 per year. Briefly Discuss if you accept or reject the new machine and why.
Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 5 years ago for $7,385,474 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,944,875. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $617,920, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $5,838,309 to build, and the site requires $994,648 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?
Tech Engineering Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The new machine, which falls into the MACRS 5-year class, has an estimated life of 5 years, and it costs $40,000 to purchase the machine. Tech plans to sell the machine at the end of the fifth year for $12,000. Initial decrease in accounts payable = $3,000, which must be restored at the end of the project's life. The applicable depreciation rates are 0.20, 0.32, 0.19, 0.12, 0.11, and 0.06. The new machine is expected to generate before-tax cash savings of $13,000 per year. The company's tax rate is 30%. What is the year 5 total free cash flow of the proposed project? Group of answer choices $24,540 $32,540 $22,540 $27,540 $29,540
A small factory is considering replacing its existing coining press with a newer, more efficient one. The existing press was purchased five years ago at a cost of $200,000, and it is being depreciated according to a 7-year MACRs depreciation schedule and the first five years of depreciation have been taken (see below for MACRs chart). The CFO estimates that the existing press has 6 years of useful life remaining. The purchase price for the new press is $306,000. The installation of the new press would cost an additional $24,000, and this cost would be capitalized and added to the depreciable base rather than expensed immediately. The new press (if purchased) would be depreciated using the 7-year MACRs depreciation schedule. Interest expense associated with the purchase of the new press is estimated to be roughly $7,900 per year for the next 6 years. The appeal of the new press is that it is estimated to produce a pre-tax operating cost savings of $75,000 per year for the next 6 years,…
You have an opportunity to acquire a property from First Capital Bank. The bank recently obtained the property from a borrower who defaulted on his loan. First Capital is offering the property for $200,000. If you buy the property, you believe that you will have to spend (1) $10,500 on various acquisition related expenses and (2) an average of $2,000 per month during the next 12 months for repair costs, and so on, in order to prepare it for sale. Because First Capital Bank would like to sell the property as soon as possible, it is willing to provide $180,000 in financing at 4.25 percent interest for 12 months payable monthly (interest only). Your market research indicates that after you repair the property, it may sell for about $225,000 at the end of one year. Furthermore, you will probably have to pay about $3,000 in fees and selling expenses in order to sell the property at that time. If you wanted to earn a 20 percent return compounded monthly, do you believe that this would be a…

A company owns land and a building that houses its manufacturing operations. When the company purchased the manufacturing facility 10 years ago, the purchase price allocated to the land account was $120,000. The manufacturing facility is located in an area that was once the site of many factories. The owners of many of the neighboring factories have recently sold their facilities to residential real estate developers. The company's land is also suitable for residential development. The estimated current value of the land as part of the manufacturing facility is $150,000. The estimated current value of the land as an undeveloped investment is $130,000, and the current value of the land as part of a residential development would be $180,000. What is the fair value of the land? O $130,000 O $150,000 O $120,000 O $180,000

What value should be included in the initial cost of the warehouse project for the use of this land? Multiple Choice A. $1,010,500 B. $869,500 C. $1,062,000 D. $921,000 E. SO
Ten years ago J-Bar Company purchased a lathe for $250,000. It was being depreciated on a straight-line basis to an estimated $25,000 salvage value (watch video for Lesson 7 Part 2 to see how to handle this when using straight-line depreciation) over a 15-year period. The firm is considering selling the old lathe and purchasing a new one. The new lathe would cost $500,000. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Determine the net initial investment required to purchase the new lathe if the old lathe is sold for $100,000.
