Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?
Jark Corporation has invested in a machine that cost $77,000, that has a useful life of eleven years, and that has no salvage value at the end of its useful life. The machine is being depreciated by the straight-line method, based on its useful life. It will have a payback period of seven years. Given these data, the simple rate of return on the machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Multiple Choice 1.6% 2.7% 5.2% 23.4%

Newport Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in cash flow of $205,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $950,000 and have a 6-year life. There is no salvage value for the equipment. If the hurdle rate is 7%, what is the approximate net present value? Ignore income taxes.
The Oviedo Company is considering the purchase of a new machine to replace an obsolete one. The machine being used for the operation has a book value and a market value of zero. However, the machine is in good working order and will last at least another 10 years. The proposed replacement machine will perform the operation so much more efficiently that Oviedo's engineers estimate that it will produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $5,000 per year. The new machine will cost $35,000 delivered and installed, and its economic life is estimated to be 10 years. It has zero salvage value. The firm's WACC is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%. Should Oviedo buy the new machine?

The management of Ro Corporation is investigating automating a process. Old equipment, with a current salvage value of $11,000, would be replaced by a new machine. The new machine would be purchased for $243,000 and would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $69,000 per year in cash operating costs. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): 18.1% 11.1% 28.4% 17.3%
