Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $47,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable ife of five years and will have no salvage value. The
machine will generate incremental revenues of $4.2 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.1 million per year. If Daly's marginal tax rate is 35% what are the incremental aming (
income) associated with the new machine?
The annual incremental earnings are $ (Round to the nearest dollar)
Kinky Copies may buy a high-volume copier. The machine costs $130,000 and this cost can be fully depreciated immediately. Kinky
anticipates that the machine actually can be sold in 5 years for $30,000. The machine will save $22,000 a year in labor costs as an
after-tax reduction, but will require an increase in working capital, mainly paper supplies, of $11,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 21%,
and the discount rate is 6%. (Assume the net working capital will be recovered at the end of Year 5.)
What is the NPV of this project? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Round your answer to 2 decimal places)

- Talbot Industries is considering launching a new product. The new manufacturing equipment will cost $17 million, and production and sales will require an initial $5 million investment in net operating working capital. The company’s tax rate is 25%. What is the initial investment outlay? The company spent and expensed $150,000 on research related to the new product last year. What is the initial investment outlay? Rather than build a new manufacturing facility, the company plans to install the equipment in a building it owns but is not now using. The building could be sold for $1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions. What is the initial investment outlay?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_forwardCalculate the net present value (NPV) before tax of investment A: a factory. Base your calculation on the following information: The investment cost is paid in full in quarter 0, and the cost of the factory is 100000. The factory has a lifetime of 20 quarters (5 years) and the value of the factory at the end of quarter 20 is 0 Only Basic jetpacks should be manufactured at the factory throughout its lifetime. There is no investment in research to streamline production or material consumption. Suppose the quarterly demand in the market is constant and given at P = 228 - 0.007 * Q, where P is price and Q is the number of jetpacks in demand. There are 5 competitors in the market (including you), and all sell the same number of jetpacks each quarter at the price of 193 each. You produce as much as you sell. The costs associated with the quarterly production at the factory are given at K = 158 * Q + 20000, where 158 * Q is direct labor cost and materials, and 20000 is quarterly maintenance…arrow_forward
- 1. Your company is considering a new computer system initially costing $1.25 million. It will save $400,000 per year in inventory and receivables management costs.
