- Your company is considering the development of a new product. In evaluating the proposed project, your company has collected the following information: The company estimates that the project will last for five years. The company will need to purchase new machinery that has an up-front cost of $300 million. The machinery will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over five years. At the end of the project, the machinery can be sold at an estimated market price of $50 million. Production of the new product will take place in a recently vacated facility that the company owns. Otherwise, the facility can be leased out to collect $5 million in rent per year for the company. The project will require a $50 million investment in inventory, and the company expects that its accounts payable will rise by $10 million as well. At the end of the project, the working capital will have been completely recovered. The company estimates that sales the new product will be $195 million each of…Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manufactured by Lollie Corporation. The machine can be used for 11 years and then sold for $16,000 at the end of its useful life. Lollie has presented Kiddy with the following options: 1. Buy machine. The machine could be purchased for $166,000 in cash. All maintenance costs, which approximate $11,000 per year, would be paid by Kiddy. 2. Lease machine. The machine could be leased for a 11-year period for an annual lease payment of $31,000 with the first payment due immediately. All maintenance costs will be paid for by the Lollie Corporation and the machine will revert back to Lollie at the end of the 11-year period. Required: Assuming that a 11% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year, determine which option Kiddy should choose. Ignore income tax considerations. Note:…You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $100,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $57,000. The machine would require a $9,000 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 $51,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 9%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. What is the initial investment outlay for the machine for capital budgeting purposes after the 100% bonus depreciation is considered, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. What are the project's annual cash flows during Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round…

The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $116,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $57,000. The machine would require a $4,000 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 $48,000 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. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? Only the tax effect of the research expenses should be included in the analysis. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay. Last year's expenditure is considered…Your company has been approached to bid on a contract to sell 5,000 voice recognition (VR) computer keyboards per year for four years. Due to technological improvements, beyond that time they will be outdated and no sales will be possible.

- Big Rock Brewery currently rents a bottling machine for $52,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. The company is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two alternate options: option a is to purchase the machine it is currently renting for $165,000, which will require $21,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses, or option b, which is to purchase a new, more advanced machine for $255,000, which will require $19,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $10,000 per year. Also, $36,000 will be spent upfront in training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 8% 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 CA rate of 25% and there will be a negligible salvage value in 10 years' time (the end of each machine's life). The marginal corporate tax…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.

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.
