The dean of the School of Fine Arts is trying to decide whether to purchase a copy machine to place in the lobby of the building. The machine would add to student convenience, but the dean feels compelled to earn an 8 percent return on the investment of funds. Estimates of cash inflows from copy machines that have been placed in other university buildings indicate that the copy machine would probably produce incremental cash inflows of approximately $25,000 per year. The machine is expected to have a three-year useful life with a zero salvage value. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required a. Use Present Value Appendix PV of $1, to determine the maximum amount of cash the dean should be willing to pay for a copy machine. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Use Present Value Appendix PVA of $1, to determine the maximum amount of cash the dean should be willing to pay for a copy machine. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) a. Maximum amount (PV) b. Maximum amount (PVA)

Heels, a shoe manufacturer, is evaluating the costs and benefits of new equipment that would custom fit each pair of athletic shoes. The customer would have his or her foot scanned by digital computer equipment; this information would be used to cut the raw materials to provide the customer a perfect fit. The new equipment costs $90,000 and is expected to generate an additional $35,000 in cash flows for five years. A bank will make a $90,000 loan to the company at a 10% interest rate for this equipment’s purchase. Use the following table to determine the break-even time for this equipment. (Round the present value of cash flows to the nearest dollar.)
A university is trying to determine how much it should charge for tickets to basketball games to help offset the expenses of the new arena. The cost to build the arena including labor, materials. etc. was $92 million. Each year the maintenance cost is expected to increase by 5% as the building gets older. The maintenance cost for the first year is $150.000. Utilities are expected to average about $200,000 per year and labor costs $300,000. The average attendance at basketball games over the year is expected to be 100,000 people (or 100,000 tickets sold to events). Assuming the arena has no other source of income besides regular ticket sales (not including student tickets) for basketball games, what should the university charge sothat it can recover at least 6% cost of borrowing on its investment? The university expects the arena to be used for 40 years and to have no appreciable salvage value.

Pinder Co., Ltd. is considering investing $500, 000 to build a factory to produce electric bicycles. Pinder Co., Ltd. has signed a contract with a large retailer that guarantees that Pinder Co., Ltd. will get $50 for every bicycle sold, in addition to all production - related costs. This means that the annual cash flow generated by the production of bicycles will be $50 multiplied by the number of bicycles sold. In exchange for this guarantee, the retailer will take over the factory at a price of $200, 000 in five years. Pinder Co., Ltd. is expected to sell 7, 000 bicycles every year in the next five years. Assume that the discount rate of Pinder Co., Ltd. is 10%. How much do the sales of bicycles need to be reduced before this project reduces the wealth of the shareholders of Pinder Co., Ltd. ?
