To prepare: The annual
Introduction:
MACRS depreciation method:
MACRS stands for Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System, which is a tool of depreciation used in the U.S. for tax purposes. This system places all the assets into categories with predetermined depreciation periods.
Depreciation schedule:
A table that shows the amount of depreciation of a particular asset over the years of its usage is termed as the depreciation schedule.
b.
To calculate: The annual cash flow including working capital recovered in 6th year.
Introduction:
Cash flow:
The amount of cash and its equivalents transferred in and out of a business is termed as cash flow.
Working capital:
A measure that helps a company calculate its liquidity is termed as working capital. It is the difference in a company’s current assets and its current liabilities.
c.
To calculate: The weighted average cost of capital.
Introduction:
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC):
It is defined as the average rate at which a company needs to pay all its shareholders in
d.
To calculate: The NPV of the investment and whether the new equipment should be purchase by the DataPoint Engineering or not.
Introduction:
It is the difference between the PV (present value) of

Foundations of Financial Management
- Manzer Enterprises is considering two independent investments: A new automated materials handling system that costs 900,000 and will produce net cash inflows of 300,000 at the end of each year for the next four years. A computer-aided manufacturing system that costs 775,000 and will produce labor savings of 400,000 and 500,000 at the end of the first year and second year, respectively. Manzer has a cost of capital of 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the IRR for the first investment and determine if it is acceptable or not. 2. Calculate the IRR of the second investment and comment on its acceptability. Use 12 percent as the first guess. 3. What if the cash flows for the first investment are 250,000 instead of 300,000?arrow_forwardCaduceus Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $565,000 and will generate $135,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return In Excel, see Appendix C.arrow_forwardGardner Denver Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $420,000 and will generate $95,000 per year for 5 years. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further Instructions on internal rate of return in Excel, see Appendix C.arrow_forward
- Garnette Corp is considering the purchase of a new machine that will cost $342,000 and provide the following cash flows over the next five years: $99,000, $88,000, $92,000. $87,000, and $72,000. Calculate the IRR for this piece of equipment. For further instructions on internal rate of return in Excel. see Appendix C.arrow_forwardThe Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?arrow_forwardJasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10. What is the payback period for this project?arrow_forward
- Driscoll Company is considering investing in a new project. The project will need an initial investment of $2,400,000 and will generate $1,200,000 (after-tax) cash flows for three years. Calculate the IRR for the project.arrow_forwardYou have been given the following information on a project. It has a 5-year lifetime The initial investment in the project will be $25 million, and the investment will be depreciated straight line, down to a salvage value of $10 million at the end of the fifth year. The revenues are expected to be $20 million next year and to grow 10% a year after that for the remaining 4 years. The cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation, is expected to be 50% of revenues. The tax rate is 40%. The project will require a $1 million increase in working capital. If the cost of capital is 12% what is the NPV and IRR? (Ans. $10,413,439.23 and 24.56%)arrow_forwardYou have been given the following information on a project: It has a 3-year lifetime The initial investment in the project will be $28 million, and the investment will be depreciated straight-line, down to a salvage value of $6 million at the end of the fourth year. The revenues are expected to be $20 million next year and to grow 6% a year after that for the remaining two years. The cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation, is expected to be 53% of revenues. The tax rate is 0.36. Estimate the after-tax return on capital, by year, to find the average for the project. (Round answer to four decimal places.)arrow_forward
- The initial investment in machinery would be $8 million immediately and the project is expected to last for three years. Investment in machinery receives tax allowable depreciation of 25% per annum on a straight-line basis. Allowances are receivable one year in arrears. The machinery will be sold at the end of the project for $5 million, in year 3 prices. And the answer is in the picture. How to calculate the answer of Tax Allowable depreciation?arrow_forwardBellingham Bay Co. is assessing a new project, which will call for purchasing certain equipment at a cost of $15,000. The equipment is to be depreciated under a straight-line approach over a period of 10 years. The underlying project is expected to generate new sales of $60,000 annually with an associated production cost of $35,000 annually. Please help the firm estimate its annual operating cash flow from this project, assuming an applicable tax rate of 10%.arrow_forwardA project that is expected to last six years will generate a profit and cash flow contribution before taxes and depreciation of $23,000 per year. It requires the initial purchase of equipment costing $60,000, which will be depreciated straight line over four years. The relevant tax rate is 25%. Calculate the project’s cash flows. Round all figures within your computations to the nearest thousand dollars. please explain how you arrived at your figuresarrow_forward
