You are evaluating a new project for Globex Corporation as the company is planning to launch a new and very efficient mobile device named Meta-5050. The new product is expected to run for 5 years. To produce this new product, Globex needs to purchase new equipment that will cost $750,000. The company needs to spend another $10,000 for shipping and installation. You estimate the sales price of Meta-5050 to be $650 per unit and sales volume to be 800 units in year 1; 1,400 units in years 2-4; and 500 units in year 5. The cost of the contents, packaging and shipping are expected to be $225 per unit and the annual fixed costs for this project are $150,000 per year. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 5-year project life. The actual market value (salvage value) of these assets at the end of year 5 is expected to be $35,000. If this project is taken up, inventory will increase by $72,000, accounts receivable will increase by $36,850, and accounts payable will…
Blossom Corp. management is investigating two computer systems. The Alpha 8300 costs $2,821,325 and will generate cost savings of $1,280,625 in each of the next five years. The Beta 2100 system costs $4,610,500 and will produce cost savings of $954,750 in the first three years and then $2 million for the next two years. The company’s discount rate for similar projects is 14 percent.What is the NPV of each system? (Enter negative amounts using negative sign, e.g. -45.25. Do not round discount factors. Round other intermediate calculations and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,525.) Should Blossom Choose the Alpha or Beta system?
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 $22,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $800 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $2,310. Machine B could be purchased for $20,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $3,200 in year three, $4,000 in year six, and $4,800 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? Note: Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round…
Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AAI), projects unit sales for a new 7-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 2 74,700 80,100 2345 5 85,800 83,000 69,900 Production of the implants will require $1,490,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 20 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,850,000 per year, variable production costs are $144 per unit, and the units are priced at $326 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $18,600,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as 7-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 25 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 24 percent and the required return is 18 percent. (MACRS schedule) a. What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and…
