A builder paid $120,000 for a house and lot. The value of the land was appraised at $65,000, and the value of the house at $55,000. The house was then torn down at an additional cost of $8,000 so that a warehouse could be built on the lot at a cost of $50,000. What is the total value of the property with the warehouse? For depreciation purposes, what is the cost basis for the warehouse?
Your company has been doing well, reaching $1.18 million in earnings, and is considering launching a new product. Designing the new product has already cost $505,000. The company estimates
that it will sell 815,000 units per year for $2.91 per unit and variable non-labor costs will be $1.16 per unit. Production will end after year 3. New equipment costing $1.18 million will be required. The
equipment will be depreciated to zero using the 7-year MACRS schedule. You plan to sell the equipment for book value at the end of year 3. Your current level of working capital is $301,000. The
new product will require the working capital to increase to a level of $384,000 immediately, then to $406,000 in year 1, in year 2 the level will be $360,000, and finally in year 3 the level will return to
$301,000. Your tax rate is 21%. The discount rate for this project is 10.2%. Do the capital budgeting analysis for this project and calculate its NPV.

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 $209,000 and qualifies for five-year MACRS depreciation. At the end of the three-year contract, you expect to be able to sell the equipment for $74,000. If the projected operating expense for the
equipment is $64,000 per year, what is the after-tax equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC) of owning and operating this equipment? The effective income tax rate is 25%, and the after-tax MARR is 11% per year.

- One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $90,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $145,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $45,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $22,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $8,182 per year.
