10.3 You have been asked to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new clinical laboratory test system. The system’s price is $50,000, and it will cost another $10,000 for transportation and installation. The system is expected to be sold after three years because the laboratory is being moved at that time. The best estimate of the system’s salvage value after three years is $20,000. The system will have no impact on volume or reimbursement (and hence revenues), but it is expected to save $20,000 per year in operating costs. The not-for-profit business’s corporate cost of capital is 10 percent, and the standard risk adjustment is 4 percentage points. What is the project’s net investment outlay at time 0? What are the project’s operating cash flows in years 1, 2, and 3? What is the terminal cash flow at the end of year 3? If the project has average risk, is it expected to be profitable? What if the project is judged to have lower-than-average risk? Higher-than average risk?

REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from 24,000 to 46,000 per year. The new machine will cost 80,000; and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 10%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Explain your answer.
Question 18 Pharmos Incorporated is a Pharmaceutical Company which is considering investing in a new production line of portable electrocardiogram (ECG) machines for its clients who suffer from cardio vascular diseases. The company has to invest in equipment which cost $2,500,000 and falls within a MARCS depreciation of 5-years, and is expected to have a scrape value of $200,000 at the end of the project. Other than the equipment, the company needs to increase its cash and cash equivalents by $100,000, increase the level of inventory by $30,000, increase accounts receivable by $250,000 and increase account payable by $50,000 at the beginning of the project. Pharmos Incorporated expect the project to have a life of five years. The company would have to pay for transportation and installation of the equipment which has an invoice price of $450,000. The company has already invested $75,000 in Research and Development and therefore expects a positive impact on the demand for the new…
