- Difend Cleaners has been considering the purchase of an industrial dry-cleaning machine. The existing machine is operable for three more years and will have a zero disposal price. If the machine is disposed now, it may be sold for $170,000. The new machine will cost $360,000 and an additional cash investment in working capital of $170,000 will be required. The new machine will reduce the average amount of time required to wash clothing and will decrease labor costs. The investment is expected to net $130,000 in additional cash inflows during the first year of acquisition and $290,000 each additional year of use. The new machine has a three-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, assuming the required rate of…Adidas is evaluating a proposal for a new product. If they launch the product, they will use an existing facility in the production process, which they previously acquired for $4 million. They currently lease it to a third party, and they expect to continue to do so if they don't use it for the new product. They rent it out for $102,000 and they expect that to remain flat for the foreseeable future. The project requires immediate investment in CAPX of $1.3 million, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the next 10 years for tax purposes. The project will end after eight years, at which time they expect to salvage some of the initital CAPX and sell it for $469,000. The project requires immediate working capital investments equal to 10% of predicted first-year sales. After that, working capital will remain at 10% of the following year's expected sales. They expect sales to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant for eight years. Total…Dell is considering replacing one of its material handling systems. It has an annual O&M cost of $48,000, a remaining operational life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $6,000 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $175,000. It will be worth $50,000 in 8 years, and it will have annual O&M costs of only $17,000 per year due to new technology. If the new system is purchased, the old system will be traded in for $55,000, even though the old system can be sold for only $45,000 on the open market. Leasing a new system will cost $31,000 per year, payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $15,000 per year payable at the end of the year. If the new system is leased, the existing material handling system will be sold for its market value of $45,000. Use a planning horizon of 8 years, an annual worth analysis, and MARR of 15% to decide which material handling system to recommend: (i) keep existing, (ii) trade in existing and purchase new, or (iii)…
- Diemia Hospital has been considering the purchase of a new x−raymachine. 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 $180,000. The new machine will cost $620,000 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 x−raysand will allow an additional amount of business to be done at the hospital. The investment is expected to net $130,000 in additional cash inflows during the year of acquisition and $190,000 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 management of Kimco is evaluating the possibility of replacing their large mainframe computer with a modern network system that requires much less office space. The network would cost $760,000 (including installation costs) and would save $150,000 per year in net cash flows (accounting for taxes and depreciation) in Year 1-2, $160,000 in year3-4, and $120,000 in year 5 due to efficiency gains. The current mainframe has a remaining book value of $160,000 and would be immediately sold for $120,000. Kimco’s discount rate is 10%, and its tax rate is 25%. Based on NPV, should management install the network system?A design firm is considering investing in a software suite that costs $200,000. It estimates that the software will allow it to better present its design ideas and generate an additional revenue of $70,000 per year for each of the next 4 years. At the end of those 4 years, the firm will need to upgrade its software and the software suite would have negligible salvage value. Due to changes in the economy, the design firm is reevaluating its MARR - it is not sure whether it should be 9%, 12%, or 14%. Calculate the present worth at each of these MARRS, and determine for which values of the MARR the investment will be economically justified. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. PW(9%): 2$ PW(12%): $ PW(14%): Justified when MARR is %. Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answers for the PWs to a whole number and for the IRR to 1 decimal place. The tolerance is ±20 for the PWs and ±0.2 for the IRR.
- Amazon is considering using high capacity drones that would make its product deliveries more efficient. For this project, $113,000 would need to be spent right away to buy the required fleet of drones. The drones will be losing their economic value in equal amount each year, fully over their 5-year economic lives. Once the drones' economic life is over, they would all be sold for $8,500 selling price to a new owner, and Amazon would then immediately purchase the same but brand-new drones for the same price as what it paid for the initial fleet of drones. When those drones' life is over, they would again be sold and, again, brand-new ones would be purchased - all for the same prices as for the initial drones, and so on, over and over.

- Sarasota Bottling Corporation is considering the purchase of a new bottling machine. The machine would cost $450,000 and has an estimated useful life of 8 years with zero salvage value. Management estimates that the new bottling machine will provide net annual cash flows of $78,750. Management also believes that the new bottling machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other machines, and thus will reduce downtime. Click here to view PV tables. How much would the reduction in downtime have to be worth in order for the project to be acceptable? Sarasota's discount rate is 10%. (Use the above table.)

It is considering purchasing a machine instead, and is comparing two options: Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $150,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $250,000. This machine will require $15,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $10,000 per year. Also, $35,000 will be spent upfront in training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 8% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The marginal corporate tax rate is 35%. Should Beryl’s Iced…
