A computerized machining center has been proposed for a small tool manufacturing company. If the new system, which costs $125,000, is installed, it will generate annual revenues of $100,000 and will require $20,000 in annual labor, $12,000 in annual material expenses, and another $8,000 in annual overhead (power and utility) expenses. A loan of $100,000 is borrowed from the bank for installation of the machining center which is repaid by equal annual repayments in 5 years at an interest rate of 8% compounded quarterly. Note that there is a working-capital requirement of $23,331 in year 0 and full recovery of the working capital at the end of year 5 for the machining center. The machining center would be classified as a seven-year MACRS property. If the asset is held for eight years, we can depreciate a seven-year property in respective percentages of 14.29%, 24.49%, 17.49%, 12.49%, 8.93%, 8.92%, 8.93%, and 4.46%. The company expects to phase out the facility at the end of five years,…
Prepare the financial section of a business case for the Cloud-Computing Case that is listed above this assignment in Canvas. Assume that this project will take eight months to complete (in Year 0) and will cost $600,000. The costs to implement some of the technologies will be $300,000 for year one and $200,000 for years two and three. Estimated benefits will start in year 1 at $400,000 and will be $600,000 for years 2 and 3. There is no benefit in year 0. Use the business case spreadsheet template (business_case_financials.xls) template provided below this assignment in Canvas to calculate the NPV, ROI, and the year in which payback occurs. Assume a 7 percent discount rate for the template. notes* Payback occurs in the first year that there is a positive value for cumulative benefits - costs. (*Negative values are presented in parenthesis) What I have so far is attached I need to make it so Pay back occurs in year 3 where there is positive cumulative benefits - costs.
Analyze the following statement: Modernize the equipment without restructuring the line. This would keep one line in the traditional mode. Since we have modernized our other lines, this is currently our "oldest" line. It has the largest incidence of equipment problems. At an installed cost of $250,000 for new equipment, we can reduce our annual maintenance costs by $35,000. More importantly, productivity should increase by 5% without any increase in operating costs. The line produces nearly 800,000 units per year with a direct manufacturing cost of $5.40 (excluding materials). Although this revamping will extend the life of the line for only ten years, it is unlikely that we can put it off for more than 2 years.
You have been given the construction and marketing studies for the proposed project. Several sites have been selected, but a decision has not been made. Your boss needs to know how much he can afford to pay for the land and still manage to return 16% on the entire project. The strategic plan calls for a construction phase of 1 year and an operation phase of 5 years, after which time the property will be sold. The staff says that a 1.3-acre site will be adequate because the studies indicate that this site will support the project with a gross leasable area (GLA) of 26,520 square feet. The gross building area (GBA) will be 31,200 square feet, giving a leasable ratio of 85%. The staff further assures you that the space can be rented for $20.4 per square foot. The head of the construction division maintains that all direct costs (excluding interest carry and all loan fees) will be $3.5 million. The Grace bank will provide the construction loan for the project. The bank will finance all of…
Parker & Stone, Incorporated, is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $7.4 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. If the land were sold today, the company would net $10.2 million. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $21.4 million to build, and the site requires $890,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567. Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Cash flow $ 32,490,000 x
ACI Group is evaluating the proposal of a new RMG factory called ACI Exclusive Fabrics. Theproject will have a life cycle of six years. The Group has forecasted a strong sales growth in RMGbusiness and therefore, wants to evaluate a new project plan. ACI Group is renting a premise of50,000 Square feet in Savar and ACI Exclusive Fabrics is planning to use 10,000 Square feet fromthis facility. The rest of the premise is currently being used by another RMG factory of ACIGroup called ACI Fabrics. The ACI Fabrics has already started its production. Using the newmachine, ACI Fabrics is selling 50,000 cloth per year at $4 per cloth. Total capital cost for ACIExclusive Fabrics is USD 80,000 and is depreciated using the straight-line method over six yearsto a zero-salvage value. The cash flow from asset for ACI Exclusive Fabrics is USD 35000 in thefirst year, followed by USD 30000 in the second year and USD 25000 in the third year. Theannual total rent of 50,000 Square feet premise is USD…
GoG is considering two alternative proposals to improve road safety and reduce traffic congestion in city “A”: (a) constructing a new bypass or (b) upgrading existing roadways. The Bypass Proposal will have an initial cost of GHC60 million and annual maintenance costs of GHC2.25 million. It is expected to yield benefits of GHC9.75 million per year. The Upgrading Proposal has an initial cost of GHC7 million, annual maintenance costs of GHC262,500 and annual social benefits of GHC1.14 million. Each project has a life of 30 years. The Bypass Proposal, which would have donor funding component, involves a discount rate of 8% while the Upgrading Proposal, to be funded wholly by government, has a discount rate of 4%. i.

An electrical utility is experiencing a sharp power demand that continues to grow at a high rate in a certain local area. Two alternatives are under consideration. Each is designed to provide enough capacity during the next 25 years, and both will consume the same amount of fuel, so fuel cost is not considered in the analysis. • Alternative A. Increase the generating capacity now so that the ultimate demand can be met without additional expenditures later. An investment of $33 million would be required, and it is estimated that this plant facility would be in service for 25 years and have a salvage value of $0.7 million. The annual operating and maintenance costs (including income taxes) would be $0.4 million. salvage • Alternative B. Spend $15 million now and follow this expenditure with future additions during the 10th year and the 15th year. These additions would cost $18 million and $12 million, respectively. The facility would be sold 25 years from now with a value of $1.25…

An electric utility is considering a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system to provide power to water conditioning pumps within the power plant. The project will be done in two phases. Phase 1 has an initial cost of $3 million. Phase 2 will cost $2.2 million at the beginning of year 3. The system will be put into service at the beginning of year 4. The annual savings using the PV panels is estimated to be $900,000, increasing by $120,000 per year through year 10. The utility’s Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) is 10%. 1. Determine if the cost of the PV system is justified. (Hint: Consider comparing the present worth of the costs and present worth of the savings.) 2. What is the actual rate of return for this project?
The plant manager of Orlando Electronics Company is considering the purchase of new automated assembly equipment. The new equipment will cost $275,000.
