Paper reclaim capital investment analysis
The Victor Paper Company manufactures paper products from pulp. The process creates paper scrap from paper trim, off-grade, and machine errors. Presently, the scrap paper is discarded in a landfill. Management is considering a proposal for a scrap paper reclamation system. The system is designed so that paper is discarded in vacuum collection points located throughout the plant. The vacuum system would be attached to a reclaim process that would digest the scrap paper, turning it back into pulp, and then blending the reclaimed product back into the papermaking process with virgin (new) pulp. The blended stream is termed “blended pulp.” It has been determined that the quality of the final product is not adversely impacted by using blended pulp versus using 100% virgin pulp. In addition, the cost of the reclaimed pulp is considered “free” to the blended stream, and causes the amount of virgin pulp used in the blended stream to be less than would…

Wood pulp generated by the project - normally an unwanted by-product of a logging operation - is an input to the paper manufacturing process. This will save the company $340,000 in wood pulp purchases, but it will cost $50,000 more to transport the wood pulp to the paper factory than it would cost to dump it as waste. How would you describe this situation in terms of the NPV analysis for the logging operation? Question 2Answer a. There is a positive externality equal to $290,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis. b. There is a positive externality equal to $340,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis. c. There is a negative externality equal to $290,000 which should be included in the NPV analysis. d.

- Two remediation options are being considered for a contaminated land area formerly used for industrial operations. Option 1 involves removing all of the contaminated soil over a two-year period at a cost of 2.2 million per year. Option 2 is to leave the soil in place but treat it with a bioremediation agent at a cost of 960,000/year over a three-year period. Subsequently, the soil would be sampled each for the next five years to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment system. The cost of the sampling program would be 250,000 the first year and 100,000/year for the remaining years.Draw a cash flow diagram for each of the two options.a.Calculate the net present value of each option based on discount rate of 6 percent/year.b.Which option has the lowest overall cost? c.What is the difference in the total cost between the two options based on NPV? d.Give your answer both in dollars and as a percentage differencearrow_forwardCorella Ltd has acquired a new machine which it has had installed in its factory.
