Your answer is partially correct.Ivanhoe Company is considering buying a new farm that it plans to operate for 10 years. The farm will require an initial investment of$12.15 million. This investment will consist of $2.85 million for land and $9.30 million for trucks and other equipment. The land, alltrucks, and all other equipment are expected to be sold at the end of 10 years for a price of $5.20 million, which is $2.30 million abovebook value. The farm is expected to produce revenue of $2.05 million each year, and annual cash flow from operations equals $1.95million. The marginal tax rate is 25 percent, and the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this investment. (Donot round factor values.

Shao Airlines is considering the purchase of two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million, and will produce net cash flows of $28 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million, and will produce net cash flows of $27 million per year. Shao plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Inflation in operating costs, airplane costs, and fares are expected to be zero, and the company's cost of capital is 9%. By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better project (plane)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.234 million should be entered as 1.234, not 1,234,000. Round your answer to three decimal places. $ What is the equivalent annual annuity for each plane?

Some equipment is needed for a 4-year project. It can be leased for $15,000 annually, or it can be purchased for $60,000 at the beginning and sold for $35,000 at the end. What is the rate of return for owning the equipment rather than leasing it?
Caspian Sea Drinks is considering the production of a diet drink. The expansion of the plant and the purchase of the equipment necessary to produce the diet drink will cost $24.00 million. The plant and equipment will be depreciated over 10 years to a book value of $3.00 million, and sold for that amount in year 10. Net working capital will increase by $1.41 million at the beginning of the project and will be recovered at the end. The new diet drink will produce revenues of $8.62 million per year and cost $2.13 million per year over the 10-year life of the project. Marketing estimates 14.00% of the buyers of the diet drink will be people who will switch from the regular drink. The marginal tax rate is 25.00%. The WACC is 15.00%.

Tower City aims to construct a new bypass between two main routes that will reduce commuter travel time. The route will cost $15 million and will save 17,500 people $100 per year in petrol costs. The path will be paved. Every year, at a cost of $7,500, the surface must be refinished. The road will be in use for the next 20 years. Determine if Tower City should construct the road. Money has an interest rate of 8%(ε = interest rate) Note: Show final answer in two decimal places and show complete solution e. The simple payback period is on Year Blank 5 f. The discounted payback period is on Year Blank 6
A firm is considering investing in a new piece of equipment. The equipment would cost $500,000 and would have shipping and installation cost of $125,000. If purchased, the machine would have an estimated useful life of 5 years and would be depreciated via a 5-year MACRS schedule (e, 20.0%, 32.0%, 19.2 %, 11.5%, 11.5%, and 5.8%). Adoption of the project would also require an increase in working capital of $50,000. If the new equipment is purchased, an old piece of equipment (which is still useable for 5 more years) could be sold for $30,000. The old machine had been depreciated on a straight line basis and currently has a book value of zero. The machine would generate annual incremental revenues of $250,000 and annual incremental expenses of $50,000. It is estimated that the machine can be sold as scrap at the end of its 5 year useful life for $80,000. The required return on projects of this nature is 14% and the firm's marginal tax rate is 40%. What is cash flow from the project for…
A firm that purchases electricity from the local utility for $300,000 per year is considering installing a steam generator at a cost of $340,000. The cost of operating this generator would be $160,000 per year, and the generator will last for five years. If the firm buys the generator, it does not need to purchase any electricity from the local utility. The cost of capital is 11%. For the local utility option, consider five years of electricity purchases. For the generator option, assume immediate installation, with purchase and operating costs in the current year and operating costs continuing for the next four years. Assume payments under both options at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now,..., four years from now). What is the net present value of the more attractive choice?

Foster Incorporated is trying to decide whether to lease or purchase a piece of equipment needed for the next 10 years. The equipment would cost $53,000 to purchase, and maintenance costs would be $5,200 per year. After 10 years, Foster estimates it could sell the equipment for $25,000. If Foster leases the equipment, it would pay $15,000 each year, which would include all maintenance costs. If Foster's cost of capital is 12%, Foster should: (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1) Note: Use the appropriate factors from the PV tables. Multiple Choice buy the equipment, as the net present value of the cost is about $53,000 less. lease the equipment, as the net present value of the cost is about $10,400 less. buy the equipment, as the net present value of the cost is about $10,400 less. О lease the equipment, as the net present value of the cost is about $6,700 less.
A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $71,321 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine the AW of the entire cash flow diagram.
Tim Inc. is considering an initial investment of $2 million in a robotic equipment that would improve the production process and reduce the operating cost. The robotic equipment has an economic life of 20 years, at the end of which, the seller will buy back the equipment for $500,000. Using cost of capital of 15% effective, Tim Inc. estimated the NPV is -$12,500. (a) If the seller agree to give you a rebate at the end of first year, How large would that rebate need to be in order for you to accept this investment? (b) If the rebate is not given, how much should the buyback price be in order for this investment to be acceptable?
