XYZ inc. considers an investment project that requires $200,000 in new equipment and $30,000 in extra NWC at the beginning of the project. The NWC will need to be increase by another $10,000 at the end of year t=1 and it will remain at the $40,000 level until the project is completed. The projects will lead to an increase in operating pre- tax net revenue of $75,000 per year and will last for 3 years. At the end of the project (beginning of year t=6), the equipment can be sold for the salvage value of $70,000. The equipment belongs to the CCA class with d=30%, the corporate income tax rate is 40%, and the cost of capital is 7%. Find cash flow at t=1 and 2

Manzer Enterprises is considering two independent investments: A new automated materials handling system that costs 900,000 and will produce net cash inflows of 300,000 at the end of each year for the next four years. A computer-aided manufacturing system that costs 775,000 and will produce labor savings of 400,000 and 500,000 at the end of the first year and second year, respectively. Manzer has a cost of capital of 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the IRR for the first investment and determine if it is acceptable or not. 2. Calculate the IRR of the second investment and comment on its acceptability. Use 12 percent as the first guess. 3. What if the cash flows for the first investment are 250,000 instead of 300,000?
Gardner Denver Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $420,000 and will generate $95,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further Instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.
Caduceus Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $565,000 and will generate $135,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return In Excel, see Appendix C.
Postman Company is considering two independent projects. One project involves a new product line, and the other involves the acquisition of forklifts for the Materials Handling Department. The projected annual operating revenues and expenses are as follows: Required: Compute the after-tax cash flows of each project. The tax rate is 40 percent and includes federal and state assessments.
Consolidated Aluminum is considering the purchase of a new machine that will cost $308,000 and provide the following cash flows over the next five years: $88,000, 92,000, $91,000, $72,000, and $71,000. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.
Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?
Water's Edge Resorts is evaluating a project that would require an initial investment in equipment of $498,000.00 and that is expected to last for 4 years. MACRS depreciation would be used where the depreciation rates in years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 25%, 45%, 15%, 10, and 5%, respectively. For each year of the project, Water's Edge Resorts expects relevant annual revenue associated with the project to be $644000.00 and relevant annual costs associated with the project to be $479000.00. The tax rate is 44.00 percent. What is (X plus Y) if X is the relevant operating cash flow (OCF) associated with the project expected in year 1 of the project and Y is the relevant OCF associated with the project expected in year 4 of the project? $191,004.00 (plus or minus $10) O $261,492.00 (plus or minus $10) $294,360.00 (plus or minus $10) $103,356.00 (plus or minus $10) None of the above is within $10 of the correct answer
A project requires an initial investment of $200,000 and expects to produce a cash flow before taxes of $120,000 per year for two years (i.e., cash flows will occur at t= 1 and t= 2). The corporate tax rate is 21 percent. The assets will depreciate using the MACRS 3-year schedule: (t = 1, 33%); (t = 2: 45% ); (t = 3: 15%); ( t = 4: 7%). The company's tax situation is such that it can use all applicable tax shields. The opportunity cost of capital is 12 percent. Assume that the asset can sell for book value at the end of the project. Calculate the NPV of the project (approximately). Multiple Choice $22,463 $19,315 $22,735 $5,721
