Your company has just signed a three-year nonrenewable contract with the city of New Orleans for earthmoving work. You are investigating the purchase of heavy construction equipment for this job. The equipment costs $191,000 and qualifies for five-year MACRS depreciation. At the end of three-year contract, you expect to be able to sell the equipment for $79,000. If the projected operating expense for the equipment is $60,000 per year what is the after-tax equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC) of owning and operating this equipment? The effective income tax rate is 24%, and the after-tax MARR is 15% per year. Click the icon to view the GDS Recovery Rates (r) for the 5-year property class. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when the MARR is 15% per year.

Kappa Holdings is looking at a new system with an installed cost of $740,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's 7-year life, at the end of which the system can be salvaged for $102,000. The system will save the firm $217,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $69,000, which will be returned at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV

Your company is considering the purchase of a 30-tonne hoist. The first cost is expected to be $230,000. Net savings will be $38,000 per year over a 12-year life and will be salvaged for $32,715. If the company's after-tax MARR is 8% and it is taxed at 45%, what is the future worth (FW) of this project? Note: You will have to calculate the CCA depreciation rate from the information provided.
Adco industries makes heavy machinery and they have a specialized soldering machine. This machine requires annual maintenance, for which they pay $5000 a year. The original cost of the machine was $150,000. It is expected that the soldering machine will last 16 years, and will have a salvage value of $11,000. Adco pays taxes at a rate of 40% and expects an after-tax return of 8% on investments. What is the after tax annul cost if the soldering machine? The CCA rate for this type of equipment is 20 percent. (Hint: Find CTF and CSF, then the annual worth).
Big Sky Mining Company must install $1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply: The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class. (The depreciation rates for Year 1 through Year 4 are equal to 0.3333, 0.4445, 0.1481, and 0.0741.) Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. The firm's tax rate is 25%. The loan would have an interest rate of 14%. It would be nonamortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4. The lease terms call for $420,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years. Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of $200,000 at the end of the 4th year. What is the cost of owning? Enter your answer as a positive value. Do not…

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.

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?
