b. Cendrawasih Inc. is considering replacing the equipment it uses to produce crayons.
The equipment would cost RM1.37 million, have a 12-year life, and lower
manufacturing costs by an estimated RM304,000 a year. The equipment will be
depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a book value of zero. The required
rate of return is 15 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent. Determine the net income
from this proposed project.

- 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. The system is expected to last for five years and will be depreciated using 3-year MACRS. The system is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 at the end of year 5. There is no impact on net working capital. The marginal tax rate is 21 %. The required return is 9%. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project.arrow_forward1. A chemical plant is considering purchasing a computerized control system. The initial cost is $200,000, and the system will produce net savings of $100,000 per year. If purchased, the system will be depreciated under MACRS as a five-year recovery property. The system will be used for four years, at the end of which time the firm expects to sell it for $30,000. The firm's marginal tax rate on this investment is 28%. Any capital gains will be taxed at the same income tax rate. The firm is considering purchasing the computer control system either through its retained earnings or through borrowing from a local bank. Two commercial banks are willing to lend the $200,000 at an interest rate of 10%, but each requires different repayment plans (See Table below).

- Your firm is considering investing in a new capital project that requires an initial investment of $800,000. This equipment will be depreciated by the straight-line over four years down to a value of zero. The machinery also has an operating life of four years. At the end of that life, you estimate it will have a salvage value of $120,000. Any gain or loss on the resell will be taxed at the firm's marginal tax rate. During the four-year life, the project should generate annual cash flows of $225,000 per year. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 22%, and it requires a return of 8.50% on projects of such risk.
