Hello, I need help solving this accounting problem.
The Chief Operations Officer (COO) of a manufacturing firm recommends one of the manufacturing sites to undergo a process improvement initiative. He claims that this project will enable the company to realize a net savings of at least $3.25 Mln. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the company tasked you to conduct a financial analysis to verify the claims of the COO. After performing cost analysis, you estimated that the project will require an initial investment of $2 Mln today and $1 Mln in Year 1. Afterwards, the initiative will yield an annual cost savings of $850k from Year 2 to Year 10. You assume that these cost savings are realized at the end of each year. (a) Suppose that you use a discount rate of 5%. Will the resulting net savings support the claim of the COO? (b) Determine the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the process improvement initiative. (c) Show the NPV profile of the project.

You are considering adding a new software title to those published by your highly successful software company. If you add the new product, it will use capacity on your disk duplicating machines that you had planned on using for your flagship product, "Battlin" Bobby." You had planned on using the unused capacity to start selling "BB" on the West coast in two years. You would eventually have had to purchase additional duplicating machines 10 years from today, but using the capacity for your new product will require moving this purchase up to 2 years from today. If the new machines will cost $101,000 and can be expensed under Section 179, your marginal tax rate is 21 percent, and your cost of capital is 10 percent, what is the opportunity cost associated with using the unused capacity for the new product? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Opportunity cost
An officer for a large construction company is feeling nervous. The anxiety is caused by a new excavator just released onto the market. The new excavator makes the one purchased by the company a year ago obsolete. As a result, the market value for the company’s excavator has dropped significantly, from $600,000 a year ago to $50,000 now. In ten years, it would be worth only $3,000. The new excavator costs only $950,000 and would increase operating revenues by $90,000 annually. The new equipment has a ten-year life and expected salvage value of $175,000. The tax rate is 35%, the CCA rate, 25% for both excavators, and the required rate of return for the company is 14%. What is the NPV of the new excavator?
You have been hired as a consultant for Pristine Urban-Tech Zither, Incorporated (PUTZ), manufacturers of fine zithers. The market for zithers is growing quickly. The company bought some land three years ago for $740,000 in anticipation of using it as a toxic waste dump site but has recently hired another company to handle all toxic materials. Based on a recent appraisal, the company believes it could sell the land for $950,000 on an aftertax basis. In four years, the land could be sold for $1,225,000 after taxes. The company also hired a marketing firm to analyze the zither market, at a cost of $130,000. An excerpt of the marketing report is as follows: The zither industry will have a rapid expansion in the next four years. With the brand name recognition that PUTZ brings to bear, we feel that the company will be able to sell 7,120, 7,920, 9,215, and 6,110 units each year for the next four years, respectively. Again, capitalizing on the name recognition of PUTZ, we feel that a premium…
