A small chemical manufacture company needs to replace an old high-shear mixer. Two different models have been proposed. • Model A costs $250,000 for purchasing and installation. The model has service life of 6 years and at the end of the sixth year has estimated salvage value of $50,000. The model in the first year has an operational and malntenance (O&M) cost of $24,000 and the cost increases each year by 5% over the previous year's O&M cost. • Model B costs $175,000 for purchasing and installation. The model has service life of 3 years and at the end of the third year has estimated salvage value of $30,000. The model in the first year has an operational and maintenance (O&M) cost of $11,000 and the cost increases cach year by 7% over the previous year's O&M cost. If the company has MARR of 10%, select the correct statement. O Select Model A because it has annual equivalent cost of $77,764 which is less than Model B O Select Model B because it has annual equivalent cost of $73,044…
You are evaluating a potential investment in equipment. The equipment's basic price is $163,000, and shipping costs will be $4,900. It will cost another $21,200 to modify it for special use by your firm, and an additional $8,200 to install it. The equipment falls in the MACRS 3-year class that allows depreciation of 33% the first year, 45% the second year, 15% the third year, and 7% the fourth year. You expect to sell the equipment for 29,600 at the end of three years. The equipment is expected to generate revenues of $151,000 per year with annual operating costs of $77,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40.0%. What is the after-tax operating cash flow for year 2? $79,914 -$8,871 $74,000 -$14,785 $88,785
Legend Service Center just purchased an automobile hoist for $36,800. The hoist has an 8-year life and an estimated salvage value of $3,800. Installation costs and freight charges were $4,100 and $700, respectively. Legend uses straight-line depreciation.The new hoist will be used to replace mufflers and tires on automobiles. Legend estimates that the new hoist will enable his mechanics to replace 5 extra mufflers per week. Each muffler sells for $72 installed. The cost of a muffler is $38, and the labor cost to install a muffler is $14.(a)Compute the cash payback period for the new hoist. Cash payback period years (b)Compute the annual rate of return for the new hoist. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.52%.) Annual rate of return %
KADS, Inc., has spent $470,000 on research to develop a new computer game. The firm is planning to spend $270,000 on a machine to produce the new game. Shipping and installation costs of the machine will be capitalized and depreciated; they total $57,000. The machine has an expected life of three years, a $82,000 estimated resale value, and falls under the MACRS 7-year class life. Revenue from the new game is expected to be $670,000 per year, with costs of $320,000 per year. The firm has a tax rate of 40 percent, an opportunity cost of capital of 11 percent, and it expects net working capital to increase by $135,000 at the beginning of the project. What will the cash flows for this project be?
