A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $730,000. The device will be used in a five-year project but is classified as three-year MACRS property for tax purposes. The required initial net working capital investment is $140,000, the marginal tax rate is 22 percent, and the project discount rate is 10 percent. The device has an estimated Year 5 salvage value of $101,000. What level of pretax cost savings do we require for this project to be profitable? (MACRS schedule) (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Pretax cost savings $ 216,693.04
Mars Inc. is considering a 5-year project that requires a new machine that costs $65,000, and an additional net working capital of $4,000, which will be recovered when the project ends in 5 years. This project would increase the firm's revenues by $21,000 per year and its operating costs by $9,000 per year. Mars will use the 3-year MACRS to depreciate the machine, and it expects to sell the machine at the end of the project for $19,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 28 percent, and the project's cost of capital is 14 percent. What is the net cash flow at year 5, the final year? MACRS 3-year schedule is as follows: 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% for years 1 to 4, respectively. Question 14 options: $24,760 $25,460 $25,840 $26,320 $26,680 $27,140
Concose Park Department is considering a new capital investment. The cost of the machine is $230,000. The annual cost savings if the new machine is acquired will be $105,000. The machine will have a 5-year life and the terminal disposal value is expected to be $38,000. There are no tax consequences related to this decision. If Concose Park Department has a required rate of return of 16%, which of the following is closest to the present value of the project? A. $131,858 B. $145,662 C. $31,892 D. $113,770
Ben is looking at a new computer system with an installed cost of $560000. This cost will be depreciated straight - line to zero over the project's five year life, at the end of which the computer system can be scrapped for $85000. The computer system will save the company $165000 per year in pretax operatiing costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $ 29000. If the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
Cirice Corporation is considering opening a branch in another state. The operating cash flow will be $ 150, 400 a year. The project will require new equipment costing $592, 000 that would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the 6-year life of the project. The equipment will have a market value of $ 177,000 at the end of the project. The project requires an initial investment of $41,000 in net working capital, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The tax rate is 23 percent. What is the project's IRR?

LePew Cosmetics is evaluating a new fragrance-mixing machine. The machine requires an initial investment of $360000 and will generate cash inflows of $63450 per year for 8 years. If the cost of capital is 14%, calculate the net present value (NPV) and indicate whether to accept or reject the machine. The NPV of the project is $__________
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) of $6,000 per year. The after-tax cost of the new machine is $30,000, 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 25%. Should Oviedo buy the new machine? Oviedo (should or Should not) purchase the new machine.
A firm is considering a 3yr project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine for $375,000 is estimated to result in operating cash flow of $155,000. The after tax salvage value would be $42,000. The machine also requires an initial investment in working capital of $26,000. Given the discount rate is 9 percent, calculate the project's NPV.
Joanette, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $420,000 and would last for 5 years, at the end of which, the machine would have a salvage value of $42,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $102,000 per year. Additional working capital of $4,000 would be needed immediately, all of which would be recovered at the end of 5 years.

Owens Mills Corp. is considering producing two mutually exclusive machine types. Machine A requires an up-front expenditure at t = 0 of $450,000, it has an expected life of 2 years, and it will generate positive after-tax cash flows of $350,000 per year (all cash flows are realized at the end of the year) for 2 years. At the end of 2 years, the machine will have zero salvage value, but every two years the company can purchase a replacement machine with the same cost and identical cash inflows.Alternatively, it can choose Machine B, which requires an expenditure of $1 million at t = 0, has an expected life of 4 years, and will generate positive after-tax cash flows of $360,000 per year (all cash flows are realized at year end). At the end of 4 years, Machine B will also have an after-tax salvage value of $190,000. The cost of capital is 10%. Which machine should the Owens Mills choose?

Jefferson Products Inc. is considering purchasing a new automatic press brake, which costs $320,000 including installation and shipping. The machine is expected to generate net cash inflows of $90,000 per year for 12 years. At the end of 12 years, the book value of the machine will be $0, and it is anticipated that the machine will be sold for $110,000. If the press brake project is undertaken, Jefferson will have to increase its net working capital by $100,000. When the project is terminated in 12 years, there will no longer be a need for this incremental working capital, and it can be liquidated and made available to Jefferson for other uses. Jefferson requires a 9 percent annual return on this type of project and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Use Table II and Table IV to answer the questions. Calculate the press brake's net present value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$ Is the project acceptable? The project is . What is the meaning of the computed net…
