Starling Co. is considering disposing of a machine with a book value of $22,200 and estimated remaining life of five years. The old machine can be sold for $5,800. A new high-speed machine can be purchased at a cost of $72,200. It will have a useful life of five years and no residual value. It is estimated that the annual variable manufacturing costs will be reduced from $23,400 to $19,900 if the new machine is purchased. The differential effect on income for the new machine for the entire five years is a(n)
Riverview Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new production machine. The machine's base price is $200,000, and installation costs would amount to $28,000. Also, $10,000 in net working capital would be required at installation. The machine will be depreciated for 3 years using simplified straight line depreciation. The machine would save the firm $110,000 per year in operating costs. The firm is planning to keep the machine in place for 2 years. At the end of the second year, the machine will be sold for $100,000. Riverview has a cost of capital of 12% and a marginal tax rate of 34%. What is the NPV of the project? $9,555 $19,016 - $9,783 $3,875 $12,155
Caine Bottling Corporation is considering the purchase of a new bottling machine. The machine would cost $193,900 and has an estimated useful life of 8 years with zero salvage value. Management estimates that the new bottling machine will provide net annual cash flows of $30,600. Management also believes that the new bottling machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other rpachines, and thus will reduce downtime. Assume a discount rate of 7%. Click here to view the factor table. Calculate the net present value. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg-45 or parentheses eg (45). For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.

The Bruin's Den Outdoor Gear is considering a new 7-year project to produce a new tent line. The equipment necessary would cost $1.83 million and be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a book value of zero. At the end of the project, the equipment can be sold for 10 percent of its initial cost. The company believes that it can sell 29,000 tents per year at a price of $75 and variable costs of $34 per tent. The fixed costs will be $505,000 per year. The project will require an initial investment in net working capital of $237,000 that will be recovered at the end of the project. The required rate of return is 11.8 percent and the tax rate is 21 percent. What is the NPV?
Crossroad Corporation is trying to decide whether to invest to automate a production line. If the project is accepted, labor costs will decrease by $165,000 per year. However, other cash operating expenses will increase by $86,000 per year. The equipment will cost $260,000 and is depreciable over 10 years using simplified straight line to a zero salvage value. Crossroad will invest $10,000 in net working capital at installation. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 34%. Calculate the firm's annual cash flows associated with the new project.
Fun Land is considering adding a miniature golf course to its facility. The course would cost $75000, would be depreciated on a straight line basis over its 4-year life, and would have a zero salvage value. The estimated income from the golfing fees would be $40000 a year with $12000 of that amount being variable cost. The fixed cost would be $6000. In addition, the firm anticipates an additional $15000 in revenue from its existing facilities if the course is added. The project will require $7000 of net working capital, which is recoverable at the end of the project. What is the net present value of this project at a discount rate of 12 percent and a tax rate of 35 percent? $19,812.09 $20,360.22 $15,429.48 $13,199.40 $24,738.41

The computer system will save the company $165000 per year in pretax operatiing costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $ 29000. If the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
A firm is considering purchasing a machine that costs $56000. It will be used for six years, and the salvage value at that time is expected to be zero.

Vigour Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is considering investing in a new production line for its pain-reliever medicine for individuals who suffer from cardio vascular diseases. The company has to invest in equipment which costs $2,500,000 and will be depreciated under the MACRS system for a 5-year asset class. It is expected to have a scrap value of $700,000 at the end of the project. Other than the equipment, the company needs to increase its cash and cash equivalents by $100,000, increase the level of inventory by $30,000, increase accounts receivable by $250,000 and increase account payable by $50,000 at the beginning of the project. Vigour Pharmaceuticals expect the project to have a life of five years. The company would have to pay for transportation and installation of the equipment which has an invoice price of $450,000. The company has already invested $75,000 in Research and Development and therefore expects a positive impact on the demand for the new pain-reliever. Expected annual…
