4. Analysis of a replacement project
At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment. The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company.
Price Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following:
•
The new equipment will have a cost of $600,000, and it is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0.
•
The old machine was purchased before the new tax law, so it is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year).
•
The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6). The old machine has a current salvage value (at…
If a firm accepts Project A it will not be feasible to also accept Project B because both projects would require the simultaneous and exclusive use of the same piece of machinery. These projects are considered to be: A) independent.B) interdependent.C) mutually exclusive.D) economically scaled.
Acme Investors is considering the purchase of the undeveloped Baker Tract of land. It is currently zoned for agricultural
use. If purchased, however, Acme must decide how to have the property rezoned for commercial use and then how to
develop the site. Based on its market study, Acme has made estimates for the two uses that it deems possible, that is,
office or retail. Based on its estimates, the land could be developed as follows:
Rentable square feet
Rents per square foot
Operating expense ratio
Average growth in NOI per annum

- Toll road investments are usually realized through Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects. Since these projects last for a long period of time, they are exposed to various risks. The successful delivery of BOT projects implies that these risks are efficiently mitigated. In order to alleviate project risks, the public partner may offer the private partner the possibility of abandoning the project and transferring it back to the public sector for a specific pre-determined price. In one such project, the public partner offers the private partner the possibility of abandoning the project within 4 years for the salvage value of $80 million. Use one of the binomial option pricing technique to value this option? Assume that the present value of future cash flows from the toll road investment is $100 million and it can go up or down once a year. The volatility is 30% per annum. The risk-free rate is 5%.arrow_forwardAdidas is evaluating a proposal for a new product. If they launch the product, they will use an existing facility in the production process, which they previously acquired for $4 million. They currently lease it to a third party, and they expect to continue to do so if they don't use it for the new product. They rent it out for $102,000 and they expect that to remain flat for the foreseeable future. The project requires immediate investment in CAPX of $1.3 million, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years for tax purposes. The project will end after eight years, at which time they expect to salvage some of the initital CAPX and sell it for $469,000. The project requires immediate working capital investments equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. After that, working capital will remain at 10% of the following year's expected sales. They expect sales to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years. Total…arrow_forwardSuppose a firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects.

Both proposals are for similar products and both are expected to operate for four years. Only one proposal can be accepted. The Finance director thinks that the project with the higher NPV should be chosen whereas the Managing director thinks that the one with the higher IRR should be undertaken, especially as both projects have the same initial outlay and length of life.
