You are thinking of starting a food delivery service. If you decide to go ahead, you would need to purchase a vehicle for $20,000 and establish a cash balance of $100 to use to make change for customers. The CCA rate for vehicles is 30%. The estimated annual pre-tax net operating cash flow is expected to be $8,000. The small business tax rate of 18.62% would apply. An appropriate discount rate for this type of business is 12%. a) What is the NPV of starting the business, operating it for 2 years and keeping the vehicle (but not the cash balance) after that? b) What is the NPV of starting the business, operating it for 2 years and then winding up all aspects of the business, including selling the vehicle for $10,000? The business has no other automotive assets. c) Should you go ahead with the business? Why or why not? (A one sentence answer is fine, but it should refer to the impact on you, not just the numbers).
Solve the following three independent scenarios: A grocery store is considering the purchase of a new refrigeration unit with an initial investment of $412,000, and the store expects a return of $100,000 in year one, $72,000 in years two and three, $65,000 in years four and five, and $38,000 in year six and beyond, what is the payback period? 1. Payback period = ___________ years. Round your Payback Period (PB) answer to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34). An auto repair company needs a new machine that will check for defective sensors. The machine has an initial investment of $224,000. Incremental revenues, including cost savings, are $120,000, and incremental expenses, including depreciation, are $50,000. There is no salvage value. What is the accounting rate of return (ARR)? 2. Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = ______________ Round your ARR answer, in percentage format, to two decimal places (i.e. 12.34%).
Faleye Consulting is deciding which of two computer systems to purchase. It can purchase state-of-the-art equipment (System A) for $20,000, which will generate cash flows of $10,000 at the end of each of the next 6 years. Alternatively, the company can spend $11,000 for equipment that can be used for 3 years and will generate cash flows of $10,000 at the end of each year (System B). If the company’s WACC is 10% and both “projects” can be repeated indefinitely, which system should be chosen, and what is its EAA? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

2. The Paktika Apple Orchard has always hired part-time workers to pick its annual apple crop. Fetullah Wasim, overseer of the orchard, has just received information on an apple picking machine that is being purchased by many competing orchards. The machine is a motorized device that shakes the apple tree, causing the apples to fall onto plastic tarps that funnel the apples into crates for shipping. Fetullah has gathered the following information to decide whether an apple picking machine would be a profitable investment for the Paktika Apple Orchard: a. Currently, the orchard is paying an average of $40,000 per year to transient workers to pick the apples. b. The apple picker would cost $94,500, and it would have an estimated 12-year useful life. The orchard uses straight-line depreciation on all assets and considers salvage value in computing depreciation deductions. The estimated salvage value of the cherry picker is $4,500. C. Annual out-of-pocket costs associated with the apple…
