Klinken Corporation's contribution margin ratio on the sale of its most popular product is 42% . The product is priced at $100 , annual fixed expenses are $900,000 . Management is evaluating two options : (1) lowering variable costs by 15 and (2) reducing fixed expenses by 15% .
Question 5.3
price is $120,000, and an additional $30,000 is required to modify the equipment for special use
by the company. The truck falls into the MACRS seven-year classification (the tax life), and it
will be sold after five years (the project life) for $55,000. The purchase of the truck will have no
effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $65,000 per year in before-tax operating
costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 20%. Assume that the initial investment is to
be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 10% payable annually. Determine the after-tax
cash flows and the net present worth of the investment for this project if the firm's MARR is
known to be 15%.
A company considerings acquiring a new heavy-duty truck. The purchase
A) $118,059
B) $133,600
C) $90,022
D) Answers A, B and C are not correct
A project currently generates sales of $10 million, variable costs equal to 40% of sales, and fixed costs of $2.3 million. The firm's tax rate is 20%. The project will last for 10 years. The discount rate is 13%.
How much can fixed costs increase before accounting profits turn negative? Express your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places
