Big Rock Brewery currently rents a bottling machine for $55,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. The company is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two options:a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $165,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses.b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $260,000. This machine will require $16,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $11,000 per year. Also, $39,000 will be spent upfront in training the new operators of themachine.Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 9% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines are subject to a CCA rate of 45% and therewill be a negligible salvage value in ten year's time (the end of each machine's life). The marginal corporate tax rate is 35%. Should Big Rock Brewery continue to rent, purchase its current machine, or purchase the advanced machine?To make this decision, calculate the NPV of the FCF associated with each alternative. (Note: the NPV will be negative, and represents the PV of the costs of the machine in each case.)The NPV (rent the machine) is $The NPV (purchase the current machine) is $The NPV (purchase the advanced machine) is $Which of the following is the best choice?(Round to the nearest dollar.)A.

Lantz Family Restaurant operates in a suburb of a major city. Recently, the managers at Lantz have noticed an increase in the use of delivery apps such as Grubhub and DoorDash by their customers. The average fee paid by Lantz for this service currently is $6 per delivery. The managers are considering starting their own delivery service that they estimate would attract about 75 percent of the current deliveries. (Not all customers will switch, even though the service would be free, because of the convenience of the app, habit, and other factors.) Estimates by the financial consultant to Lantz are that the cost of the service, if provided by Lantz, would be $3.90 per delivery and an incremental $1,297 per month fixed costs. In an average month, 800 orders Lantz receives are to be delivered. Required: a. Prepare a schedule that shows the differential costs. b. Should Lantz Family Restaurant provide their own delivery service or continue to rely on other firms?

Lease versus Buy Big Sky Mining Company must install $1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply: The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class. (The depreciation rates for Year 1 through Year 4 are equal to 0.3333, 0.4445, 0.1481, and 0.0741.) Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. The firm's tax rate is 25%. The loan would have an interest rate of 10%. It would be nonamortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4. i. The lease terms call for $400,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years. Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of $200,000 at the end of the 4th year.
