Item A is currently in use at a plant. The original cost of the piece of machinery was $2,000. Its maintenance cost is $500 this year, increasing each year by $30. Items A can be replaced by Item B which has a current cost of $3,500. Item B has no annual maintenance costs, but it is anticipated that the item purchase cost increases by $50 per year. Disregarding income taxes effects (such as depreciation), what is the predicted optimum time (after year 'X') to schedule a replacement of Item A with Item B. Use 8% as the 'interest rate', which really is the value of money to the company. a. 5 years b. 6 years c. 7 years d. 8 years

Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $540,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its five-year life. It will be worth $50,000 at the end of that time. You will save $275,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $70,000 (this is a one-time reduction). If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the IRR for this project?
A special-purpose machine tool set would cost $20,000. The tool set will be financed by a $10,000 bank loan repayable in two equal annual installments at 10% compounded annually. The tool is expected to provide annual (material) savings of $30,000 for two years and is to be depreciated by the MACRS three-year recovery period. The tool will require annual O&M costs in the amount of $5,000. The salvage value at the end of the two years is expected to be $8,000. Assuming a marginal tax rate of 25% and MARR of 15%, what is the net present worth of this project? PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING EQUATION TO SOLVE

A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $570,000. It is in Class 8 (CCA rate = 20%) for CCA purposes. It will actually function for five years, at which time it will have no value. There are no working capital consequences from the investment, and the tax rate is 35%. a. What must the pre-tax cost savings be for us to favour the investment? We require an 11% return. (Hint: This one is a variation on the problem of setting a bid price.) (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) Cost savings $122332.17 b. Suppose the device will be worth $81,000 in salvage (before taxes). How does this change your answer? (Do not round your Intermediate calculations.

Material-handling equipment used in the manufacture of grain products (MACRS-GDS 10-year property) is purchased and installed for $180,000. It is placed in service in the middle of the tax year. If it is removed just before the end of the tax year approximately 4.5 years from the date placed in service, determine the depreciation deduction during each of the tax years involved using MACRS-GDS allowances. ———————- Repeat the previous problem if the material-handling equipment is removed just after the tax year, again using MACRS-GDS allowances.
A concrete and rock crusher for demolition work has been purchased for $50,000, and it has an estimated SV of $12,000 at the end of its five year life Engineers have estimated that the following units of production (in m³ of crushed material) will be contracted over the next five years. Using the units of production depreciation method, what is the depreciation allowance in year three, and what is the BV at the end of year two? The depreciation allowance in year three is $ The BV at the end of year two is $. (Round to the nearest dollar) (Round to the nearest dollar) EOY m³ 1 14,000 2 26,000 3 35,000 4 17,000 5 8,000
Hyundai USA has numerous robotic welders as well as robotic checkers with vision. One underbody robotic welder costing $1,200,000 (7-year property class) was installed and is increasing productivity by 2.5% in one area. The result is a savings of $500,000 per year. Deductible expenses other than depreciation and interest associated with the installed robotic welder are only $120,000. Hyundai borrowed $550,000 at 11% for 5 years. They plan to keep the welder for 8 years. Hyundai’s income-tax rate is 25% and their MARR is 9% after taxes. Determine the PW, IRR, for the investment if: The loan is paid back using Plan 3 Plan 3—make equal principal-plus-interest end-of-period payments.

Anderson International Limited is evaluating a project in Erewhon. The project will create the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 - S1,785,000 1 610,000 2 707,000 3 580,000 4 483,000 All cash flows will occur in Erewhon and are expressed in dollars. In an attempt to improve its economy, the Erewhonian government has declared that all cash flows created by a foreign company are "blocked" and must be reinvested with the government for one year. The reinvestment rate for these funds is 4 percent. If Anderson uses a required return of 11 percent on this project, what are the NPV and IRR of the project?
