The Gehr Company is considering the purchase of a new machine tool to replace an obsolete one. The machine being used for the operation has both a book value and a market value of $0; it is in good working order, however, and will last physically for at least another 10 years. The proposed replacement machine will perform the operation so much more efficiently that Gehr engi- neers estimate it will produce after-tax cash flows (cost savings) of $9,000 per year. The new machine will cost $40,000 delivered and installed, and its useful life is estimated to be 10 years. Its expected salvage value is $0. The firm's required rate of return is 10 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Should Gehr 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.The Oviedo Company is considering the purchase of a new machine to replace an obsolete one.
