The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?
Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
Alfredo Company purchased a new 3-D printer for $900,000. Although this printer is expected to last for ten years, Alfredo knows the technology will become old quickly, and so they plan to replace this printer in three years. At that point, Alfredo believes it will be able to sell the printer for $15,000. Calculate yearly depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.
Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?
Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?
Friedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.
Pear Orchards is evaluating a new project that will require equipment of $249,000. The equipment will be depreciated on a 5-year MACRS schedule. The annual depreciation percentages are 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company plans to shut down the project after 4 years. At that time, the equipment could be sold for $67,100. However, the company plans to keep the equipment for a different project in another state. The tax rate is 21 percent. What aftertax salvage value should the company use when evaluating the current project?.
Tucker Enterprise Inc. is considering a project that requires a numerically controlled (NC) machine for $28,000 (year 0) and plans to use it for five years, after which time it will be scrapped. The allowed depreciation deduction during the first year is $4,000 because the equipment falls into the seven-year MACRS property category. (The first-year depreciation rate is 14.29%.) The cost of the goods produced by this NC machine should include a charge for the depreciation of the machine. Suppose the company estimates the following revenues and expenses, including the depreciation for the first operating year:• Gross income = $50,000• Cost of goods sold = $20,000• Depreciation on the NC machine= $4,000• Operating expenses = $6,000Without the project, the company's taxable income from regular business operations amounts to $20 million, which places the company in the highest tax bracket of 35%. Compute the net income from the project during the first year.
Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $250,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. Holmes would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $23,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%, as discussed in Appendix 12A. Net operating working capital would increase by $25,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project’s 5-year life. Holmes’s marginal tax rate is 40%, and a 10% WACC is appropriate for the project. a. Calculate the project’s NPV, IRR, MIRR, and payback.
Louie's Leisure Products is considering a 4-year project which will require the purchase of $1.2 million in new equipment. The project will use existing land for a warehouse. The market value of the land is $1 million and is expected to remain unchanged in the future. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to a book value of $0.2 million over the 4-year life of the project. Louie's expects to sell the equipment at the end of the project for 25% of its original cost. Annual sales from this project are estimated at $1.2 million. The operating cost is 25% of the sales revenue. Net working capital equal to 20% of sales will be required to support the project. The firm desires a 10% rate of return on this project. The tax rate is 40%. Should Louie's Leisure Products accept the project?

Assume management is unsure about the $90,000 cost savings—this figure could deviateby as much as plus or minus 20%. What would the NPV be under each of thesesituations?c. Suppose the CFO wants you to do a scenario analysis with different values for the costsavings, the machine’s salvage value, and the net operating working capital…
Blossom Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The invoice price of the machine is $151,000, freight charges are estimated to be $4,000, and installation costs are expected to be $6,000. The salvage value of the new equipment is expected to be zero after a useful life of 5 years. The company could retain the existing equipment and use it for an additional 5 years if it doesn't purchase the new machine. At that time, the equipment's salvage value would be zero. If Blossom purchases the new machine now, it would have to scrap the existing machine. Blossom's accountant, Donna Clark, has accumulated the following data for annual sales and expenses, with and without the new machine: 1. 2. 3. Without the new machine, Blossom can sell 13,000 units of product annually at a per-unit selling price of $100. If it purchases the new machine, the number of units produced and sold would increase by 10%, and the selling price would remain the same. The new machine is faster than the old…
