Nodhead College needs a new computer. It can either buy it for $295,000 or lease it from Compulease. The lease terms require Nodhead to make six annual payments (prepaid) of $71,000. Nodhead pays no tax. Compulease pays tax at 35%. Compulease can depreciate the computer for tax purposes straight-line over five years. The computer will have no residual value at the end of year 5. The interest rate is 6%.
a. What is the NPV of the lease for Nodhead College?
b. What is the NPV for Compulease?
Your company is considering a new computer system with an initial cost of $1 million. When implemented, the system will save $300,000 per year in inventory and administration costs. The system has a service life of five years and is classified in the three-year MACRS category. At the end of the fifth year, its residual value was estimated at $50,000. The system has no impact on net working capital. The marginal tax rate is 40 per cent. The required rate of return is 8 per cent.
Project Section 4: You are considering buying an industrial equipment whose price is given by 285000 The equipment is
expected to earn an annual revenue of $125,000. The equipment will be depreciated under MACRS as a five-year
recovery property. The equipment will be used for seven years, at the end of which time, you can sell it for $50,000. Your
company's marginal tax rate is 35% over the project period. Perform the following: a) Determine the net after - tax cash
flows for each period over the project life. b) Net present worth assuming company MARR = 15%. c) Annual

The only fixed assets it will need to purchase is some machinery which costs $120,000, plus $10,000 to modify it for this project's use. The machinery will be depreciated using the MACRS 5-year property class schedule, and Blue estimates that the machinery could be sold at the end of the third year for $70,000. In addition to expenditures on fixed assets, this project would cause the firm's cash needs to increase by $15,000 and additional raw materials inventory will go up by $5,000, both at Time 0. It also estimates that by the end of Year 1, accounts receivable will rise by $6,000. The new product's sales revenues are expected to be $90,000 each year.

- Denny Kean owns a very profitable ice cream stand. Based on the results of a $6,600 marketing research project, Denny is now considering adding a line of frozen yogurt to his product mix. Denny expects that the machine necessary to produce the yogurt will cost $130,000, last for five years and have a salvage value of $10,000 at the end of the fifth year. For tax purposes, Denny will depreciate the yogurt machine over the five years to a zero salvage value using the straight-line method. Denny will incur extra annual fixed costs of $1,500 per year if he acquires this machine, while his variable costs (the cone/cup, yogurt, wrapping paper, spoons, etc.) will be $0.50 per serving. He expects to sell 100 servings a day (365 days in a year) at a price per serving to be determined.
