Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $395,000 is estimated to result in $151,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $51,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $22,000, along with an additional $3,200 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 22 percent and its discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV Should the company buy and install the machine press? O Yes O No

Raas Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $1,512,000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $330,000 the first year, $280,000 the second year, and $230,000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places. Select the formula, then enter the amounts to calculate the ARR (accounting rate of return) for the new product line. (Round ARR to the nearest hundredth percent [two decimal places].

A piece of new equipment has been proposed by engineers to increase the productivity of a certain manual welding operation. The investment cost is $25,000, and the equipment will have a market value of $5,000 at the end of a study period of seven years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $8,000 per year after extra operating costs have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production. 1-1 If the firm's MARR is 20% per year, is this proposal a sound one? Use the PW method.
1.) TEI incorporated is considering the use of concrete electric pole in the expansion of its power distribution lines. A concrete pole costs P18,000 each and will last for 15 years. The company is presently using creosoted wooden poles which cost P12,000 per pole and will last 10 years. Assume annual taxes amount to 2% of the first cost and zero salvage value in both cases. .Evaluate the two options and recommend which one is to be chosen using the methods indicated . Money is worth 12% Using the Annual Cost Method. Annual Cost of Wooden Poles = __________________ , Annual Cost of Concrete Poles = _________________ Recommendation: _____________________________________

XYZ Products Company is considering a new product that will sell for P100 and has a variable cost of P60. Expected volume is 20,000 units. New equipment costing P1,500,000 and having a five-year useful life and no salvage value is needed, and will be depreciated using the straight-line method. The machine has fixed cash operating costs of P200,000 per year. The firm is in the 40 percent tax bracket and has cost of capital of 12 percent. The present value of 1, end of five periods is 0.56743; present value of annuity of 1 for 5 periods is 3.60478. How many units per year the firm must sell for the investment to earn 12 percent internal rate of return?

A)Two options of feed-water storage installation are being considered to serve over 20 years of useful life: Option 1: Build a 20,000-gallon tank on a tower. The cost of installing the tank and tower is estimated to be $170,000. The annual operating and maintenance cost after tax adjustment is estimated to be $2,000. The salvage value is estimated to be negligible. Option 2: Place a 20,000-gallon tank of equal capacity on a hill near the refinery. The cost of installing the tank on the hill, including the extra length of service lines, is estimated to be $120,000 with negligible salvage value. The annual operating and maintenance cost of the water tank is estimated to be $1,500 after tax adjustment. Because of the location, an additional investment of 13,000 in pumping equipment is required. The pumping equipment is expected to have a service life of 10 years with a salvage value of $2,000 at the end of that time. The annual operating and maintenance cost (including any incometax…
