A special power tool for plastic products costs $400,000 and has a 4year useful life, no salvage value, and a 2-year before-tax payback period. Assume uniform annual end-of-year benefits. (a) Compute the before-tax rate of return. (b) Compute the after-tax rate of return, based on MACRS depreciation and a 24% combined corporate income tax rate.
Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $250,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. Holmes would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $23,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%, as discussed in Appendix 12A. Net operating working capital would increase by $25,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project’s 5-year life. Holmes’s marginal tax rate is 40%, and a 10% WACC is appropriate for the project. a. Calculate the project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, and payback.
A company is planning to augment its production capacity through equipment additions that will cost $350,000. This augmentation of capacity will result in increase of costs by $150000 per year for 5 years and also increases the gross income by $250,000 per year for the same period. For evaluating the project, the company uses Straight line depreciation model for taxation purpose, salvage value of $75,000 and a life of 5 years. If the MARR is 30% and company's tax rate is 35%, basis total cash flows is the capacity augmentation justified (Investment tax credit and working capital to be neglected)
Paulita's Products Inc. is considering the new piece of equipment that costs P75,000. The equipment is expected to generate revenues before-tax cash inflows of P25,000 per year for five year. The equipment would be depreciated using straight-line method over its five-year useful life. Upon retirement, the machine is expected to have a market value of P8,000. The company considers the maximum impact of income taxes in all of its capital investment decisions. The company has a 35 percent income tax rate and desires an after-tax return of 12 percent on its investment. The present value of 1, end of 5 years at 12% is 0.56743 and for ordinary annuity is 3.60478. The net present value of the equipment is: c. P 21,248 b. P 4,539 a. P 7,042 d. P 5,453
A road construction company is considering the purchase of a gravel hauler as it prepares for a new season of rural road construction. The hauler will cost $110,000, last six years with a salvage value of $20,000, and reduce annual maintenance, insurance, and labour costs by $30,000 per year. The after-tax MARR is 9% and the corporate tax rate is 55%. a. What is the exact after-tax IRR for this purchase? b. What is the approximate after-tax IRR for this purchase? c. Should the company buy the gravel hauler? Why or why not?
A computer system can be purchased for $18,000. The operating costs will be $10,000 per year, and the useful life is expected to be 5 years with a $5,000 salvage value at that time. The present annual sales volume should increase by $16,000 as a result of acquiring the system. Assume the company's tax rate is 50%. Using a straight-line deprecation method, compute annual taxes and IRR for the investment. Rework the previous problem assuming (i) the system's taxable life is 8 years with a salvage value of $2,000, but that (ii) the company still salvages the system after 5 years for $5,000. Describe how this may affect cash flow in the forthcoming years.
A firm is evaluating an investment proposal to instal new milling machines. The project requires an initial investment of R 50000. The equipment has a lifespan of 5 years and no salvage value. The company operates under a tax rate of 55% and utilizes straight line depreciation. The estimated annual profits before depreciation from the investment are as follows: Year 1: 10000, Year 2: 11000, Year 3: 14000, Year 5: 15000 and year 5 R 25000. Compute the payback period and the Net Present Value at 10% discount rate, profit after tax for each year and the cash inflow for each year.
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.33 million machine. It will cost $69,436.00 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using the straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $4.10 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.19 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 37.00%. The cost of capital for the firm is 13.00%. (answer in dollars..so convert millions to dollars) The project will run for 5 years. What is the NPV of the project at the current cost of capital?
A firm has invested $60,000 in machinery with a 5-year useful life. The machinery will have no salvage value, as the cost to remove it will equal its scrap value. The uniform annual benefits from the machinery are $15,000. For a combined 45% income tax rate, and 100% bonus depreciation, compute the after-tax rate of return.
