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?
Postman Company is considering two independent projects. One project involves a new product line, and the other involves the acquisition of forklifts for the Materials Handling Department. The projected annual operating revenues and expenses are as follows: Required: Compute the after-tax cash flows of each project. The tax rate is 40 percent and includes federal and state assessments.
The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?
The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?

Beta Inc. is implementing a cost-cutting proposal. The after-tax cost reduction is expected to equal $1.5 million for each of the three years of the project's life. The equipment has an initial cost of $3 million. The salvage value of the equipment is zero. The straight-line depreciation method is used for tax purposes and tax rate is 35%. Therefore the annual tax saving (i.e. tax shield) is 350,000. Assuming discount rate is 20%, what is the NPV of the project? Select one: a. $7,532,407.41 O b. $1,528,935.19 O c. 1,223,966.47 O d. $896,990.74 O e. $611,200.00
This project will require an investment of $20,000 in new equipment. Under the new tax law, the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus deprecation at t = 0, so it will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project’s four-year life. Garida pays a constant tax rate of 25%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project’s net present value (NPV) would be under the new tax law.
Caradoc Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve itsproduction efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $410,000 isestimated to result in $150,000 in annual pre-tax cost savings.

The press alsorequires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $20,000, alongwith an additional $3,100 in inventory for each succeeding year of theproject. If the shop’s tax rate is 35% and its discount rate is 9%.Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round your intermediatecalculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.
