Choosing between two projects with acceptable payback periods Shell Camping Gear, Inc., is considering two mutually exclusive projects.
Each requires an initial investment of $100,000. John Shell, president of the company, has set a maximum payback period of 4 years.
The cash inflows associated with each project are shown in the following table:
a. Determine the payback period of each project.
b. Which project is acceptable based on payback period?
a. The payback period of project A is years. (Round to two decimal places.)
The payback period of project B is years. (Round to two decimal places.)
b. Which project is acceptable based on payback period? (Select the best answer below.)
○ Project A would be preferred over project B because the larger cash flows are in the later years of the project.
○ Project B would be preferred over project A because the larger cash flows are in the early years of the project.
Weekend Warriors, Inc., has 35% debt and 65% equity in its capital structure. The firm's estimated after-tax cost of debt is 5% and its estimated cost
of equity is 13%. Determine the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
Weekend Warriors' weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
Initial cash flow: Basic calculation Cushing Corporation is considering the purchase of a new grading machine to replace the existing one. The
existing machine was purchased 4 years ago at an installed cost of $20,700; it was being depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery
period. (See table
for the applicable depreciation percentages.) The existing machine is expected to have a usable life of at least 5 more years.
The new machine costs $36,000 and requires $5,100 in installation costs; it will be depreciated using a 5-year recovery period under MACRS. The
existing machine can currently be sold for $24,500 without incurring any removal or cleanup costs. The firm is subject to a 21% tax rate. Calculate the
initial cash flow associated with the proposed purchase of a new grading machine.
The initial cash flow will be $
