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?
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.
Former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle, Don Davey, is considering opening a Firehouse Sub Shop in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The new Fireside Sub Shop will require new sandwich-grilling equipment costing $598,000 that would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the 5-year life of the project. The grilling equipment will be salvaged for $181,000 at the end of the project. The Sub Shop project requires an initial investment of $42,000 in net working capital, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The tax rate is 35%. What is the Firehouse Sub Shop project’s IRR if it is expected to generate an annual operating cash flow of $176,600? a. 13.24% b. 18.39% c. 18.48% d. 16.87% e. 15.64%
Yoga Ltd is requesting a purchase of an upgraded class streaming system with an installed cost of $574,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the system can be sold tor $20,000. The old system will be sold off for $10,000. The system will generate new tuition of $116,000 per year with negligible changes to operating costs. In year three the software license will need to be renewed at a cost of 15,000. The system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $15,000. If required rate of return is 10 percent, what is the present value of net cash flow for Year 3 (rounded to a whole number)?
Aerotron Electronics is considering the purchase of a water filtration system to assist in circuit board manufacturing. The system costs $220,000. It has an expected life of 7 years at which time its salvage value will be $7,500. Operating and maintenance expenses are estimated to be $13,000 per year.

Diemia Hospital has been considering the purchase of a new xray machine. The existing machine is operable for five more years and will have a zero disposal price. If the machine is disposed now, it may be sold for $150,000. The new machine will cost $640,000 and an additional cash investment in working capital of $75,000 will be required. The new machine will reduce the average amount of time required to take the xrays and will allow an additional amount of business to be done at the hospital. The investment is expected to net $50,000 in additional cash inflows during the year of acquisition and $160,000 each additional year of use. The new machine has a five year life, and zero disposal value. These cash flows will generally occur throughout the year and are recognized at the end of each year. Income taxes are not considered in this problem. The working capital investment will not be recovered at the end of the asset's life. What is the net present value of the investment,…
The Department of Public Works is trying to decide between "patching" a road or repaving it completely. If the "patching" system is used, approximately 300 cubic meters of material will be required, at $25 per cubic meter (on site). Additionally, the berms will need to be re-constructed, which will cost $3000. The annual cost of routine maintenance of the "patched" road would be $4000. Repairs would only last 2 years, after which they would have to be re-made. The other alternative is for the department to repave the entire road, which would cost $65,000. This area would last 10 years if the road were maintained at a cost of $15000 per year, starting in 4 years. Regardless of which alternative is chosen, the road will be rebuilt within 10 years. If the interest rate is 13% per year, which alternative should the department select, based on present value?
Cor's Dog House is considering the installation of a new computerized pressure cooker for hot dogs. The cooker will increase sales by $10,100 per year and will cut annual operating costs by $11,750.
