Suppose that the marginal tax rate is 15%. If a farmer decides to purchase a combine it will increase his revenue by $6,000 per year, but it will also increase his expenses by $1,000 per year. The before tax rate on this investment is 25%. The life of this investment is 6 years. What is the present value of the after tax net return? $14,133 $12,544 $16,084 $13,706 None of the answers are correct
You are considering adding a new product to one of your firm’s existing product lines which will generate an additional $200,000 in sales per year and will have a margin of 50% (same as the existing group margin). This will entail an increase in Net Working Capital of $10,000 and an investment in property, plant, and equipment of $50,000 per year. Assuming the company pays no tax and any depreciation in that year is negligible, the annual change in Unlevered Free Cash Flows resulting from the addition of the product is: a $40,000 b $50,000 c $90,000 d $100,000 e $10,000
Sa. A large profitable corporation is considering a capital investment of $50,000. The equipment has a projected salvage value of $0 at the end of the two-year project period. The annual gross income each of the next two years is projected to be $44,000 and expenses are projected to be $14,000 annually. The depreciation amount will be $25,000 annually. This profitable corporation has an incremental income tax rate of 25% and the MARR is 10%. Determine the before-tax CF for Year 2 (only – not a total).
Suppose Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is considering divesting one of its manufacturing plants. The plant is expected to generate free cash flows of $1.49 million per year, growing at a rate of 2.3% per year. Goodyear has an equity cost of capital of 8.6%, a debt cost of capital of 6.7%, a marginal corporate tax rate of 34%, and a debt-equity ratio of 2.4. If the plant has average risk and Goodyear plans to maintain a constant debt-equity ratio, what after-tax amount must it receive for the plant for the divestiture to be profitable? A divestiture would be profitable if Goodyear received more than $ million after tax. (Round to one decimal place.)
