Requirement3:
The net present value of project with changes to actual figures of labour hours saved and installation cost actually incurred.
Answer to Problem 30P
Solution: The Net present value of Project after making revision as per actual figures of labour hours saved and actual installation cost incurred is $(148,520)
Explanation of Solution
The statement showing revised net present value of the project is as under:
Computation of Net present value of project of Purchase of Robots | ||||
Net Annual savings: | ||||
Savings in Annual carrying cost of Inventory | 210000 | |||
Savings in Labour cost (22500 DLH @16) | 360000 | |||
Total savings | 570000 | |||
Less: Annual Increase in Power cost | 30000 | |||
Net Annual savings | 540000 | |||
Annuity Present value factor (i=20%, n=5) | 2.991 | |||
Present value of Annual savings in cost | 1615140 | |||
Add: Present value of Release of Inventory | 333200 | |||
($ 400,000* Present value of 1st year i.e. 0.833) | ||||
Add: Present value of Salvage value of investment | 28140 | |||
($ 70,000 * Present value factor for 5th year i.e. 0.402) | ||||
Total Present value of Cash inflows | 1976480 | |||
Less: Present value of Outflows | ||||
Initial investment of cost of Robot | 1600000 | |||
Add: Installation and Software cost | 525000 | |||
Present value of outflows | 2,125,000 | |||
Net present value | -148,520 |
Requirement4:
The additional benefits to be derived from undertaken of the project and Amount of benefit which must accrue each year.
Answer to Problem 30P
Solution: The Additional benefit which must accrue on undertaking the projects is savings in further carrying cost of inventory which had happen and will be released at the end of year. This cost will go on increasing with the increase in production level. Also, with the increase in production, there will be lot more savings in labour hours, resulted in savings in labor cost further.
The Additional Annual benefit which must accrue to the project each year must be $ 49656 to make project yield 20%.
Explanation of Solution
The Annual additional benefit which must accrue to the company shall be $ 49,656 per annum and has been computed as follows:
Computation of Annual additional benefits to accrue in project | ||||
Net present value | -148520 | |||
Therefore, Present value of annual benefits must be | 148520 | |||
in 5 years of life | ||||
Divide: Annuity present factor (i=20%, n=5 years) | 2.991 | |||
Equivalent Annual benefits which accrue each year | 49656 |
To conclude, it must be said that alternative which is having lower net present worth in terms of cost and higher net present worth in terms of inflows, shall be accepted among the alternatives.

All related closing costs will be paid and deducted on the tax return in 2026. Also, at the end of 2025, the company has $54 million of temporary differences due to excess depreciation for tax purposes, $7.56 million of which will reverse in 2026. The enacted tax rate for all years is 20%, and the company pays taxes of $34.56 million on $172.80 million of taxable income in 2025. McDowell expects to have taxable income in 2026. Assuming that the only deferred tax account at the beginning of 2025 was a deferred tax liability of $5,400,000, draft the income tax expense portion of the income statement for 2025, beginning with the line "Income before income taxes."
