Wendell's Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $34,600 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $6,500 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 2,500 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.60 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life. Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1. What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new machine for capital budgeting purposes? 2. What discount factor should be used to compute the new machine's internal rate of return? (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) 3. What is the new machine's internal rate of return? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole percentage.)

Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $52,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $160,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $265,000. This machine will require $17,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $15,000 per year. Also, $35,000 will be spent up front to train 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 cost of the rental machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The marginal corporate tax rate is 25%. The NPV of renting…

Charlie Corporation is considering buying a new donut maker. This machine will replace an old donut maker that still has a useful life of 6 years. The new machine will cost $3,770 a year to operate, as opposed to the old machine, which costs $4,225 per year to operate. Also, because of increased capacity, an additional 21,700 donuts a year can be produced. The company makes a contribution margin of $0.10 per donut. The old machine can be sold for $8,700 and the new machine costs $31,700. The incremental annual net cash inflows provided by the new machine would be (Ignore income taxes.): Multiple Choice O O O O $455 $2,170 $6,530 $2,625
ClockWatchers is about to introduce a new employee monitoring tool and has determined that it will charge $100 per unit. The company must decide whether or not to purchase a high-capacity manufacturing machine. If the high-capacity machine is selected, then the cash fixed costs will be $5,000 per year, with variable costs of $50 per unit and depreciation and amortisation expenses of $2,000. Otherwise the fixed costs will be $2,000, with variable costs of $75 per unit and depreciation and amortisation expenses of $500. If EBIT Break-even is how the company evaluates its projects, then above what level of expected sales should ClockWatchers choose the high fixed cost alternative? 60 units 90 units120 units 180 units

The Sweetwater Candy Company would like to buy a new machine that would automatically “dip” chocolates. The dipping operation currently is done largely by hand. The machine the company is considering costs $210,000. The manufacturer estimates that the machine would be usable for five years but would require the replacement of several key parts at the end of the third year. These parts would cost $11,300, including installation. After five years, the machine could be sold for $6,000. The company estimates that the cost to operate the machine will be $9,300 per year. The present method of dipping chocolates costs $53,000 per year. In addition to reducing costs, the new machine will increase production by 5,000 boxes of chocolates per year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.65 per box. A 19% rate of return is required on all investments.

Billy Bob's Crab & Oyster Shack wants to reduce the cost of labour by replacing some labour with machines. If Billy Bob's were to purchase a machine to shuck the oysters, it can save $50,000 a year for 10 years. The new machine will cost $650,000 and it will be worth $50,000 at the end of the 10 year period. The firm believes it will need $10,000 in spare parts inventory (increase in NWC), which it can sell for the $5,000 at the end of the project. The machine has a 20% CCA rate and the firm has a 15% tax rate. If they want a 20% return on their investment what is the NPV? Round your answer to the nearest dollar, no dollar sign, no commas, put negative sign if needed.
