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.
A large food-processing corporation is considering using laser technology to speed up and eliminate waste in the potato-peeling process. To implement the system, the company anticipates needing $3.5 million to purchase the industrial-strength lasers. The system will save $1,550,000 per year in labor and materials. However, it will require an additional operating and maintenance cost of $350,000. Annual income taxes will also increase by $150,000. The system is expected to have a 10-year service life and will have a salvage value of about $200,000. If the company's MARR is 18%, use the NPW method to justify the project.

Eradicator Food Prep, Inc., has invested $7 million to construct a food irradiation plant, which would destroy organisms that cause spoilage and disease, thus extending the shelf life of fresh foods and the distances over which they can be shipped. The plant can handle about 200,000 pounds of produce in an hour and will be operated for 3,600 hours a year. The net expected operating and maintenance costs (considering any income-tax effects) would be $4 million per year. The plant is expected to have a useful life of 15 years with a net salvage value of $700,000. The firm's interest rate is 15%.(a) If investors in the company want to recover the plant investment withinsix years of operation (rather than 15 years), what would be the equivalentafter-tax annual revenues that must be generated?(b) To generate the annual revenues determined in part (a), what minimum processing fee per pound should the company charge to its customers?
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…
Amold Inc. is considering a proposal to manufacture high-end protein bars used as food supplements by body builders. The project requires use of an existing warehouse, which the firm acquired three years ago for $1 million and which it currently rents out for $127,000. Rental rates are not expected to change going forward. In addition to using the warehouse, the project requires an upfront investment into machines and other equipment of $1.5 million. This investment can be fully depreciated straight-line over the next 10 years for tax purposes. However, Amold Inc. expects to terminate the project at the end of eight years and to sell the machines and equipment for $446,000. Finally, the project requires an initial investment into net working capital equal to 10 percent of predicted first-year sales. Subsequently, net working capital is 10 percent of the predicted sales over the following year. Sales of protein bars are expected to be $4.6 million in the first year and to stay constant…
