V14 Steadman Company is considering an investment in a new machine for an independent five-year project. The machine’s cost is $837,500 with no salvage value at the end of five years. Net cash inflows from the project are expected to be $252,500 annually. Steadman would depreciate the machine using the MACRS schedule, and the machine qualifies as a 5-year asset. Steadman uses a discount rate of 8%, and its tax rate is 30%. Required: 1. Determine the after-tax net income and after-tax cash flows from the investment. Refer to Exhibit 12.4 for the 5-year MACRS deprecation schedule. 2. Determine the NPV of the project. 3. Determine the IRR of the project. 4. Determine the payback period of the project, assuming that cash flows occur evenly in each year. 5. Determine the book (accounting) rate of return using both (a) the initial investment as the denominator and (b) the average book value of the investment as the denominator.
Net Present Value, Uncertainty Ondi Airlines is interested in acquiring a new aircraft to service a new route. The route will be from Tulsa to Denver. The aircraft will fly one round-trip daily except for scheduled maintenance days. There are 15 maintenance days scheduled each year. The seating capacity of the aircraft is 150. Flights are expected to be fully booked. The average revenue per passenger per flight (one-way) is 235. Annual operating costs of the aircraft follow: The aircraft will cost 120,000,000 and has an expected life of 20 years. The company requires a 12% return. Assume there are no income taxes. Required: 1. Calculate the NPV for the aircraft. Should the company buy it? 2. In discussing the proposal, the marketing manager for the airline believes that the assumption of 100% booking is unrealistic. He believes that the booking rate will be somewhere between 70 and 90%, with the most likely rate being 80%. Recalculate the NPV by using an 80% seating capacity. Should the aircraft be purchased? 3. Calculate the average seating rate that would be needed so that NPV will equal zero. Round the seating rate to the nearest percent. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose that the price per passenger could be increased by 10% without any effect on demand. What is the average seating rate now needed to achieve an NPV equal to zero? What would you now recommend? Round the seating rate to the nearest percent.
ts 19 Riverview Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new production machine. The machine's base price is $200,000, and installation costs would amount to $28,000. Also, $10,000 in net working capital would be required at installation. The machine will be depreciated for 3 years using simplified straight line depreciation. The machine would save the firm $110,000 per year in operating costs. The firm is planning to keep the machine in place for 2 years. At the end of the second year, the machine will be sold for $100,000. Riverview has a cost of capital of 12% and a marginal tax rate of 34%. What is the NPV of the project? O $12.155 O $3,875 O-$9,783 O $19,016 $9.555

The firm is planning to keep the machine in place for 2 years. At the end of the second year, the firm plans to sell the machine for $80,000. The firm has a required rate of return on investment projects of 10% and a marginal tax rate of 21%. What is the NPV of the project? $138,190 O $104,705 O $139,926 $169,627 O $138,190
Question 2 Mad Cat Inc. is debating between two alternative earth moving machines to use for the next 8 years. The first supplier, Double Candle, offers the necessary machinery (CCA rate = 30%) at an upfront cost of $5,450,000. These machines are expected to last 4 years and then be salvaged for approximately $1,400,000 (the CCA pool remains open). All the Double Candle machines would be salvaged and replaced after 4 years. The alternative is to purchase significantly more expensive (but longer lasting) machinery from Elemental which would last the full 8 years but cost $8,650,000 and depreciate at the same CCA rate. Elemental's machines have an expected salvage value of approximately $1,800,000. Mad Cat pays a 25% tax rate and its cost of capital is 11%. a) Which of the two systems incurs the lowest overall cost for Mad Cat? (4 marks) b) For what salvage value on the Elemental machines would you be indifferent between the two options? (2 marks)
Exercise 14-6 (Algo) Simple Rate of Return Method [LO14-6] The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $57,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $15,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $7,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $24,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)

QUESTION ONE Epica PLC is considering marketing a new product with a four-year life. Epica will need to install new equipment to manufacture the product. Epica has to choose between two machines both of which would be suitable. Machine 1 costs K460,000 to purchase and install, and will have a residual value of K20,000 at the end of four years. Machine 2 costs K630,000 to purchase and install, and has a residual value of K30,000 at the end of four years. Machine 2 takes slightly longer to install and commission, but once in operation it has slightly lower operating costs per unit, and will eventually produce more output. The following projections have been prepared of the cash flows from product sales and operating costs for the two machines: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Machine 1 Sales K'000 1,340 1,460 1,300 820 Costs K'000 1,160 1,260 1,140 760 Machine 2 Sales K'000 700 1,400 1,600 900 Costs K'000 610 1,100 1,240 750 The company's cost of capital is 12% p.a.
