Trent Incorporated needs an additional worker on a multiyear project. It could hire an employee for a $65,000 annual salary. Alternatively, it could engage an independent contractor for a $72,000 annual fee. Trent's income tax rate is 21 percent. Compute the annual after-tax cost of each option and indicate which minimizes the after-tax cost of obtaining the worker. (Round all your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.) This was a homework question that I missed. Could you please help me figure out what I did wrong? My answer: After-tax cost of employee: $51,350 After-tax cost of independent contractor: $56,880
Heer Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 130,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next four years, and you've decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $765,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; this equipment is classified as a five- year MACRS property for tax purposes. You estimate that in four years, this equipment can be salvaged for $100,000 (i.e., you can sell it at the end of Year 4 for $100,000). Your fixed production costs will be $180,000 per year in the first two years and $200,000 per year in the last two years. Your variable production costs should be $8.20 per carton throughout the project. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $59,500 and an additional investment of $1,500 in every year thereafter. All new working capital will be recovered when the project ends. Your tax rate is 22 percent and you require a return of 14.5 percent. What bid price per carton should…
The X Company is considering purchasing a business machine for $100,000. An alternative is to rent it for $35,000 at the beginning of each year. The rental would include all repairs and services. If the machine is purchased, a comparable repair and service contract can be obtainedfor $1,000 per year. The salesperson of the business machine firm has indicated that the expected useful service life of this machine is five years, with zero market value, but the company is not sure how long the machine will be needed. If the machine is rented, the company can cancel the lease at the end of any year. Assuming an income tax rate of 25%, a straight-line depreciation charge of $20,000 for each year the machine is kept, and an after-tax MARR of 10%, prepare an appropriate analysis to help the firm decide whether it is more desirable to purchase or rent.

Agata Bertina wants to open a new factory in New Jersey. The company can either purchase or lease the factory. There are three options available for Agata Bertina : 1. Purchase a factory with a useful life of 10 years today for $700,000 in cash. This factory has no additional space for rent. 2. Lease a factory with annual lease payments of $45,000 for 10 years. Payments are made at the beginning of each year. 3. Purchase a factory with a useful life of 10 years today for $745,000. In addition, the company can rent some additional space for annual rent of $4,000. Assume Agata Bertina would receive the rental payments at the end of each year. Requirement: Interest is compounded annually. Which option should Agata Bertina choose given a 3% interest rate? First, calculate the present value of each option. (Ignore any depreciation expense for purposes of this problem. Use the present value and future value tables, the formula method, a financial calculator,…
You are considering the purchase of one of two machines used in your manufacturing plant. Machine A has a life of two years, costs $150 initially, and then requires $105 per year in maintenance costs. Machine B costs $220 initially, has a life of three years, and requires $170 in annual maintenance costs. Either machine must be replaced at the end of its life with an equivalent machine. The discount rate is 13 percent and the tax rate is zero. Calculate the EAC. Note: Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Machine A Machine B Which one should you choose? Machine B EAC Machine A
Your cousin has created a business specialised in 3-D printing of metal spare parts for repair shops. For the purchase of one machine, she is considering two different models (project A and B). You are to assist her in making the best choice. Assume an investment horizon of 6 years and a required rate of return of 10%. Assume no corporate or business tax on purchase, income or resale. No computation is required for the depreciation of the machine. After talking to technical professionals and the marketing manager, you have gathered the following information: (*) Operating cash flow margin % is equal to operating cash flow divided by sales. Operating cash flows are equal to sales minus all the recurring cash cost associated to production and sales. Operating cash flow margin % is constant over the period. a) Determine the initial cash outlay for both project A and B. b) Compute operating cash flow and cash flow from assets for both projects over the six (6) years c) Compute the Net…

Adidas is evaluating a proposal for a new product. If they launch the product, they will use an existing facility in the production process, which they previously acquired for $4 million. They currently lease it to a third party, and they expect to continue to do so if they don't use it for the new product. They rent it out for $102,000 and they expect that to remain flat for the foreseeable future. The project requires immediate investment in CAPX of $1.3 million, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years for tax purposes. The project will end after eight years, at which time they expect to salvage some of the initital CAPX and sell it for $469,000. The project requires immediate working capital investments equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. After that, working capital will remain at 10% of the following year's expected sales. They expect sales to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years. Total…
