Salvage Co. is considering the purchase of a new ocean-going vessel that could potentially reduce labor costs of its operation by a considerable margin. The new ship would cost P500,000 and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method over 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the ship will have no value and will be sunk in some already polluted harbor. The Salvage Co's cost of capital is 12 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent. The ship produces equal annual labor cost savings over its 10-year life. What is the present value of the depreciation tax benefit of the new ship? (Round to the nearest peso.) O P200,000 O P113,004 O P169,506 O P282,510

llana Industries, Inc., needs a new lathe. It can buy a new high-speed lathe for $0.97 million. The lathe will cost $31,300 to run, will save the firm $127,700 in labour costs, and will be useful for 10 years. Suppose that for tax purposes, the lathe will be in an asset class with a CCA rate of 25%. llana has many other assets in this asset class. The lathe is expected to have a 10-year life with a salvage value of $91,000. The actual market value of the lathe at that time will also be $91,000. The discount rate is 15% and the corporate tax rate is 35%. What is the NPV of buying the new lathe? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) NPV $

Blooper Industries must replace its magnoosium purification system. Quick & Dirty Systems sells a relatively cheap purification system for $20 million. The system will last 5 years. Do-It-Right sells a sturdier but more expensive system for $21 million; it will last for 6 years.
