the table below
If a returm on investment (rate of return) of 10% is requred, what is the minimum annual saving in needed?
If the service life is decreased from six (6) years to five (5) years, what is the minimum annual savings for the firm to acheive a 10% return on
investment?
If the annual operating cost increase by 109%, what will be the minimum annual savings needed?

It is being decided whether or not to replace an existing piece of equipment with a newer, more productive one that costs $80,000 and has an estimated MV of $20,000 at the end of its useful life of six years. Installation charges for the new equipment will amount to $3,000; this is not added to the capital investment but will be an expensed item during the first year of operation. MACRS (GDS) depreciation (five-year property class) will be used. The new equipment will reduce direct costs (labor, maintenance, rework, etc.) by $10,000 in the first year, and this amount is expected to increase by $500 each year thereafter during its six-year life. It is also known that the BV of the fully depreciated old machine is $0 butthat its present fair MV is $14,000. The MV of the old machine will be zero in six years. The effective income tax rate is 40%. Solve, a. Determine the prospective after-tax incremental cash flow associated with the new equipment if it is believed that the existing…
It is desired to purchase a piece of equipment worth $77,000 that has a useful life of four years and a salvage value of $7,000 at the end of that period. It is depreciated by SDA. Taxes are paid at a rate of 50% and the company's MARR is 13%. what should be the benefit before depreciation and taxes that the equipment generates to justify its acquisition?
Answer: $30,323.48.

- Peachtree Construction Company, a highway contractor, is considering the purchase of a new trench excavator that costs 300000 and can dig a 3-foot-wide trench at the rate of 16 feet per hour. The contractor gets paid according to the usage of the equipment, 100 per hour. The expected average annual usage is 500 hours, and maintenance and operating costs will be 10 per hour. The contractor will depreciate the equipment by using a five-year MACRS, units-of-production method. At the end of five years, the excavator will be sold for 100000. Assuming the contractor’s marginal tax rate is 25% per year, determine the annual after-tax cash flow. In excel.arrow_forwardA company considers introducing a new newspaper.

- The Advanced Silicon Devices semiconductor factory costs $20 million to build and is depreciated (on a straight line basis, to make this simple) over 20 years. Also it borrows the money to build the factory at 8% interest. The factory has a capacity of 400,000 chips per year that sell for $30 apiece. Labor costs are $1.5 million, and raw material costs are $0.5 million. Ongoing research and development costs are $3 million. The factory sells all its chips to the Itty Bitty Machine company, which manufactures 40,000 computers a year that sell (wholesale) for $800 each. That factory costs $35 million to build, with the same rate of interest and depreciation as the semiconductor factory. Besides paying for the chips, the costs are $4 million for labor, $2 million for other parts (half of which are imported), and $2.5 million for ongoing R&D.
