PROBLEM 1. New ProjectYou must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The base price is $108,000, and shipping andinstallation costs would add another $12,500. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be soldafter 3 years for $65,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The machine wouldrequire a $5,500 increase in working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There wouldbe no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $44,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 35%,and the WACC is 12%. Also, the firm spent $5,000 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine.What are the project's annual net cash flows during Years 0 through 3?

After tax salvage value is calculated as shown below.

You have been asked to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new Machine for your company. The machine’s basic price is $100,000. Assume that the machine can be depreciated using straight line over three years. The Machine would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $4,000 at the start of the project. This working capital will be recovered at Year 3. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $40,000 per year in before tax operating costs. This machine will help the firm reduce its labor costs. Assume that the firm’s marginal tax rate is 35%. a) If the cost of capital (WACC) is 10% , should the machine be purchased? Show all your work in the attached excel file. b) What is the minimum cost savings required to justify the purchase of this machine? Click here to get the Excel Template for this problem. (I attached a picture) Please upload your completed excel file.
The Lumber Yard is considering adding a new product line that is expected to increase annual sales by $352,000 and expenses by $244,000. The project will require $153,000 in fixed assets that will be depreciated using the straight-line method to a zero book value over the 9-year life of the project. The company has a marginal tax rate of 21 percent. What is the depreciation tax shield? Multiple Choice O $20,145 $3,570 $8.213 $22.680 ER 540
The management of Nebraska Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $490,000. The company's desired rate of return is 10%. The present value factors for $1 at compound interest of 10% for 1 through 5 years are 0.909, 0.826, 0.751, 0.683, and 0.621, respectively. In addition to the foregoing information, use the following data in determining the acceptability: Year 1 2 3 4 5 Operating Income $100,000 40,000 40,000 10,000 10,000 Net Cash Flow $180,000 120,000 100,000 90,000 120,000 The cash payback period for this investment is O a. 3 years O b. 5 years O c. 2 years O d. 4 years
You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $162,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $111,000. The machine would require a $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased Inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $42,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 11%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? 1. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and dealt with at the end of the project's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay. II. Last year's expenditure is considered an opportunity cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow.…
The management of Kunkel Company is considering the purchase of a $21,000 machine that would reduce operating costs by $5,000 per year. At the end of the machine’s five-year useful life, it will have zero salvage value. The company’s required rate of return is 12%. Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using table. Required: 1. Determine the net present value of the investment in the machine. 2. What is the difference between the total, undiscounted cash inflows and cash outflows over the entire life of the machine?
A new machine costs $798,410 and falls in a 26.50% CCA class. The machine will have zero value after 5 years of use but will save $370,940 annually in operating costs before taxes in those five years. Assume a tax rate of 32.73%. Using a required return of 13.67%, what is the NPV of the machine purchase? Options $210,082 $215,760 $221,437 $227,115 $232,793
Your firm is considering an investment in luxury cars for its livery service between Oxford and CVG airport. The purchase price of the cars is $300,000 and the service is expected to contribute gross profit of $150,000 per year (excluding depreciation) for 3 years. The vehicles will be fully depreciated using straight-line depreciation over 3 years. The cars will be sold at the end of the third year for $75,000. There is no expected impact on NWC, the tax rate is 21%, and the WACC is 10%. What is the NPV of the investment?

The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $104,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $43,000. The machine would require a $5,500 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $56,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? I. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. II. The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis. III. Only the tax effect of the research expenses…
A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator (5-year MACRS property) for $22,000. The estimated salvage value is $4,000 after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be $2,200. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $1,000 per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is 24% and the MARR is 11% after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an after-tax basis? CAN YOU DO THIS PROBLEM BY HAND? AND NOT USING EXCEL I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!
You are evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new machine costing $50,000, and it falls into the MACRS 3-year class. Purchase of the machine would require an increase of net operating working capital of $2,000, which will be recovered when the machine is sold. The machine would increase the firm's revenues by $27,000 per year and its operating costs by $16,000 per year. The machine is expected to be used only for 3 years and then be sold for $25,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 27 percent, and the project's cost of capital is 14 percent. What is the non-operating terminal cash flows at year 3? MACRS 3-year schedule is as follows: 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% for years 1 to 4, respectively. Question 13 options: $20,145 $20,455 $20,725 $20,975 $21,195 $21,505
