Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following: Machine A could be purchased for $11,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $400 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $1,155. Machine B could be purchased for $10,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $1,600 in year three, $2,000 in year six, and $2,400 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value. Required: Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase
The Bruin's Den Outdoor Gear is considering a new 7-year project to produce a new tent line. The equipment necessary would cost $1.83 million and be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a book value of zero. At the end of the project, the equipment can be sold for 10 percent of its initial cost. The company believes that it can sell 29,000 tents per year at a price of $75 and variable costs of $34 per tent. The fixed costs will be $505,000 per year. The project will require an initial investment in net working capital of $237,000 that will be recovered at the end of the project. The required rate of return is 11.8 percent and the tax rate is 21 percent. What is the NPV?

The Ocean City water park is considering the purchase of a new log flume ride. The cost to purchase the equipment is $8,000,000, and it will cost an additional $475,000 to have it installed. The equipment has an expected life of 6 years, and it will be depreciated using a MACRS 7-year class life. Management expects to run about 150 rides per day, with each ride averaging 35 riders. The season will last for 120 days per year. In the first year, the ticket price per rider is expected to be $5.25, and it will be increased by 4% per year. The variable cost per rider will be $1.65, and total fixed costs will be $525,000 per year. After six years, the ride will be dismantled at a cost of $245,000 and the parts will be sold for $600,000. The cost of capital is 8.5%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Using Goal Seek, calculate the minimum ticket price that must be charged in the first year in order to make the project acceptable.
