The cost of a replacement packaging machine if $95,000. The machine is anticipated
to reduce the packaging costs by $20 per parcel. The company expects to send out
25,000 parcels per year. The salvage values of the machine is anticipated to be
$23,000 at the end of 10 years. What is the present worth of the machine if the
after-tax MARR is 10%, the CCA rate is 20%, and the tax rate is 40%? [Enter your
response in $. Round to the nearest full dollar]

3. A hydraulic machine costs P180,000 and has a salvage value of P15000 at the end of its
useful life of 12 years. If it is to be traded for a new one on the 7th year for P53,272,
determine its sunk cost if money is worth 6%. Also, compute for the tax shield if the
company is at a 25% tax bracket.

- A machine that has been used for 8 years has a market value of $2,500 now, which decreases by $100 each year for the next 5 years. Maintenance costs this year are $5k, and for the next 5 years they are estimated at $6k, $7k, $8k and $9k. Determine the marginal cost of extending the service for two years if the MARR is 12%. Answer the questions: a) How much is the loss in market value in year 2? b) How much is the loss in interest in year 2? c) What is the Marginal Cost in year 2? d) If the machine's minimum EUAC is $5,500, when, in years, should the machine be replaced?arrow_forwardits practice question Please give me the correct answer and show me the workarrow_forwardA subsidiary of AEP places in service electric generating and transmissionequipment at a cost of $3,000,000.

The company has to invest in equipment which costs $2,500,000 and will be depreciated under the MACRS system for a 5-year asset class. It is expected to have a scrap value of $700,000 at the end of the project. Other than the equipment, the company needs to increase its cash and cash equivalents by $100,000, increase the level of inventory by $30,000, increase accounts receivable by $250,000 and increase account payable by $50,000 at the beginning of the project. Vigor Pharmaceuticals expect the project to have a life of five years. The company would have to pay for transportation and installation of the equipment which has an invoice price of $450,000. The company has already invested $75,000 in Research and Development and therefore expects a positive impact on the demand for the new pain-reliever.

The only fixed assets it will need to purchase is some machinery which costs $120,000, plus $10,000 to modify it for this project's use. The machinery will be depreciated using the MACRS 5-year property class schedule, and Blue estimates that the machinery could be sold at the end of the third year for $70,000. In addition to expenditures on fixed assets, this project would cause the firm's cash needs to increase by $15,000 and additional raw materials inventory will go up by $5,000, both at Time 0. It also estimates that by the end of Year 1, accounts receivable will rise by $6,000. The new product's sales revenues are expected to be $90,000 each year. Total costs excluding depreciation are estimated to be $30,000. The company's marginal tax rate is 34 percent, and the firm estimates is overall WACC to be 16.00 percent. Inflation is zero.
