The owner of Atlantic City Confectionary is considering the purchase of a new semiautomatic candy machine. The machine will cost $23,000 and last 9 years. The machine is expected to have no salvage value at the end of its useful life. The owner projects that the new candy machine will generate $3,500 in after-tax savings each year during its life (including the depreciation tax shield). Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: Compute the profitability index on the proposed candy machine, assuming an after-tax hurdle rate of (a) 8 percent, (b) 1O percent, and (c) 12 percent. (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $104,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $43,000. The machine would require a $5,500 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $56,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? I. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. II. The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis. III. Only the tax effect of the research expenses…

Justyne needs assistance with the information shown below. The defender can be replaced now or kept for 4 more years. (Notes: All monetary values are in $1000 units. Assume that either asset is salvaged in the future at its original salvage estimate. Since no revenues are estimated, all taxes are negative and considered “savings” to the alternative. Neglect any capital gains or losses.) a. Perform a PW-based replacement study using an after-tax MARR = 12% per year and Te = 35%. Do this using hand calculations.b. Verify your results using a spreadsheet-based replacement study.
