Ysabelle Industries, Inc. has an opportunity to acquire a new equipment to replace one of its existing equipments. The new equipment would cost P900,000 and has a five-year useful life, with a zero terminal disposal price. Variable operating costs would be P1 million per year. The present equipment has a book value of P500,000 and a remaining life of five years. Its disposal price now is P50,000 but would be zero after five years. Variable operating costs would be P1,250,000 per year. Considering the five years in total, but ignoring the time value of money and income taxes. Ysabelle should Select the correct response: Replace due to P350,000 advantage. Not replace due to P100,000 disadvantage. Not replace due to P100,000 disadvantage. Not replace due to P150,000 disadvantage.

We are evaluating a project that costs RM604,000, has an 8-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 55,000 units per year. Price per unit is RM36, variable cost per unit is RM17, and fixed costs are RM685,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent and we require a return of 15 percent on this project. (i) Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV., (ii) Assume the sales figure increases to 56,000 units per year, calculate the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure?
NUBD Co. has an opportunity to acquire a new machine to replace one of its present machines. The new machine would cost P90,000, have a five year life, and no estimated salvage value. Variable operating costs would be P100,000 per year. The present machine has a book value of P50,000 and a remaining life of five years. Its disposal value now is P5,000, but it would be zero after five years. Variable operating costs would be P125,000 per year. Ignore present value calculations and income taxes. Considering the five years in total, what would be the difference in profit before income taxes by acquiring the new machine as opposed to retaining the present one?
Kunkel Company is considering the purchase of a $29,000 machine that would reduce operating costs by $6,500 per year.

A firm is considering an investment in a new machine with a price of $17.6 million to replace its existing machine. The current machine has a book value of $7.3 million and a market value of $6 million. The new machine is expected to have a 4-year life, and the old machine has four years left in which it can be used. If the firm replaces the old machine with the new machine, it expects to save $7.25 million in operating costs each year over the next four years. Both machines will have no salvage value in four years. If the firm purchases the new machine, it will also need an investment of $440,000 in net working capital. The required return on the investment is 11 percent and the tax rate is 24 percent. The company uses straight-line depreciation. What is the NPV of the decision to purchase a new machine? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.) What is the IRR of the decision to purchase a…

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 management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $66,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $17,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $8,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $29,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
Apricot Computers is considering replacing its material handling system and either purchasing or leasing a new system. The old system has an annual operating and maintenance cost of $35,000, a remaining life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $5,100 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $286,000; it will be worth $26,000 in 8 years; and it will have annual operating and maintenance costs of $18,000/year . If the new system is purchased, the old system can be traded in for $18,000. Leasing a new system will cost $27,000/year , payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $9,100/year , payable at the end of the year. If the new system is leased, the old system will be sold for $10,000. MARR is 14%. Compare the annual worths of keeping the old system, buying a new system, and leasing a new system based upon a planning horizon of 8 years. What is the EUAC of the best option using the cash flow approach?
A firm owns a drilling equipment that it is contemplating replacing. It is believed that P1,500,000 could be obtained for the old equipment if it were sold now, but it can be productively used for four more years at which time its market value will be zero. The equipment has an operating and maintenance of P600,000 per year. The firm can purchase a new machine, with the same functionality as the current machine, for P5,500,000. In four years the market value of the new machine is estimated to be P2,275,000. Annual operating and maintenance costs will be P1,850,000 per year. Should the old drilling equipment be replaced using a before-tax MARR of 15% and a study period of four years?
GiGi Industries must replace its magnesium purification system. Quick & Dirty Systems sells a relatively cheap purification system for $10 million. The system will last 6 years. Do-It-Right sells a sturdier but more expensive system for $12 million; it will last for 8 years. The cheaper system will require $1.1 million in operating costs per year which is 10% higher than the more expensive system. Both will be depreciated straight-line to a final value of zero over their useful lives; neither will have any salvage value at the end of its life. The firm’s tax rate is 30 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent. Which system should GiGi install?
