The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $71,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $18,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $8,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $26,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.) 1. Depreciation expense 2. Incremental net operating income 3. Initial investment 4. Simple rate of return

You have been asked to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new Machine for your company. The machine’s basic price is $100,000. Assume that the machine can be depreciated using straight line over three years. The Machine would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $4,000 at the start of the project. This working capital will be recovered at Year 3. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $40,000 per year in before tax operating costs. This machine will help the firm reduce its labor costs. Assume that the firm’s marginal tax rate is 35%. a) If the cost of capital (WACC) is 10% , should the machine be purchased? Show all your work in the attached excel file. b) What is the minimum cost savings required to justify the purchase of this machine? Click here to get the Excel Template for this problem.

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?
A manufacturer is considering the replacement of one of its boring machines with a newer and more efficient one. The relevant details for both defender and challenger are as follows:• Defender: The current book value of the old boring machine is $50,000, and it has a remaining useful life of five years. The salvage value expected from scrapping the old machine at the end of five years is zero, but the company can sell the machine now to another firm in the industry for $10,000.• Challenger: The new boring machine can be purchased at a price of $150,000 and has an estimated useful life of seven years. It has an estimated salvage value of $50,000 and is expected to realize economic savings on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs and to reduce the amount of reworks. In total, annual savings of $80,000 will be realized if the new machine is installed.The firm uses an MARR of 12%. Using the opportunity-cost approach, address the following questions:(a) What is the initial cash…
Masters Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $892,800 is estimated to result in $297,600 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (MACRS Table), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $130,200. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $37,200, along with an additional $5,580 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop's tax rate is 22 percent and its discount rate is 19 percent, what is the NPV for this project?
XYZ Co. is considering the purchase of a new machine. The machine will cost $250,000 and requires installation costs of $25,000. The existing machine can be sold currently for $25,070. It was purchased three years ago for $83,000 and depreciated using MACRS (5 years). It can be operated for another four years. Its market value at that time, if sold, would be $14,000. The new machine has expected life of five years and expected to provide operating cash savings of $88,000 a year for 2 years and $50,000 a year for the next two years before depreciation and taxes (EBD&T). After four years the new machine can be sold for $12,750. To support the increased business resulting from the purchase of new machine, A/R will increase by $12,000; inventory will increase by $25,000 and current liabilities by $41,000. The cost of capital is 17% and the tax rate is 40%. What is NPV? Question 9 options: $56,900 -$65,880 -$63,118 -$76,890
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,000,000, and it would cost another $20,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $576,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $424,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 35%. Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. What is the Year-0 net cash flow? $ If the project's cost of capital is 11 %, what is the NPV of the project? $
