McKesson Inc. just purchased a new executive jet for its president. The jet is currently underutilized, and management is considering allowing other officers to use it. This move would save $119,980 per year in real terms in airline bills. Offsetting this benefit is the notion that the jet will have to be replaced a year sooner than originally planned. If the jet cost $30,200,000 and was originally expected to last 15 years, should management allow other officers to use the jet? The real opportunity cost of is 13%. Question 19 options: Yes, because the present value of saving, $756,172.52 is greater than the present value of cost, $321,913.38. Yes, because the present value of saving, $756,172.52, is greater than the present value of cost, $747,201.75. Yes, because the present value of saving, $775,356.21, is greater than the present value of cost, $747,201.75. No, because the present value of saving, $756,172.52, is less than the present value of cost, $844,337.97.

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.
Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $1,200,000 computer- based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 10 (ten-) year life. It will be worth $100,000 at the end of that time. You will save $400,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $120,000 (this is a 1 (one) time reduction). If the tax rate is 25 percent and discount rate is 10%, what is the NPV for this project?
Better Mousetrap's research laboratories just purchased a new executive jet for its president. The jet is currently underutilized, and management is considering allowing other officers to use it. This move would save $15,500 per year in real terms in airline bills. Offsetting this benefit is the notion that the jet will have to be replaced a year sooner than originally planned.

Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $435,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 6-year life. It will be worth $54,000 at the end of that time. You will save $157,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $43,000 at the beginning of the project. Working capital will revert back to normal at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the IRR for this project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. IRR 25.73 %
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)…

Best Flight, Inc., is considering three mutually exclusive alternatives forimplementing an automated passenger check-in counter at its hub airport.Each alternative meets the same service requirements, but differences in capital investment amounts and benefits (cost savings) exist among them. The study period is 10 years, and the useful lives of all three alternatives are also 10 years. Market values of all alternatives are assumed to be zero at the end of their useful lives. If the airline’s MARR is 10% per year, whichalternative should be selected in view of the cash-flow diagrams shown herewith attached.
