Now determine what the project's NPV would be when using straight-line depreciation. Using the depreciation method will result in the highest NPV for the project. No other firm would take on this project if Yeatman turns it down. How much should Yeatman reduce the NPV of this project if it discovered that this project would reduce one of its division's net after-tax cash flows by $700 for each year of the four-year project? $2,172 $2,389 $1,846 $1,629

WorldTrans is considering a new salsa whose data are shown below. The equipment to be used would be depreciated by the straight-line method over its 3-year life and would have a zero salvage value, and no change in net operating working capital would be required. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. However, this project would compete with other WorldTrans products and would reduce their pre-tax annual cash flows. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. ​ WACC 10.0% Pre-tax cash flow reduction for other products (cannibalization) -$5,000 Investment cost (depreciable basis) $80,000 Straight-line depr. rate 33.333% Annual sales revenues $66,000 Annual operating costs (excl. depr.) -$25,000 Tax rate 35.0% ​ Group of answer choices $1,571 $1,136 $1,403 $1,207…

Companies invest in expansion projects with the expectation of increasing the earnings of its business. Consider the case of Garida Co.: Garida Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 3,000 3,250 3,300 Sales price $17.25 $17.33 $17.45 Variable cost per unit $8.88 $8.92 $9.03 Fixed operating costs $12,500 $13,000 $13,220 Unit sales 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. Which of the following most closely approximates what the project's net present value (NPV)…

Crane Company management is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $54,000 and will last for 10 years. No other capital expenditures or increases in working capital are anticipated during the life of the project. What is the annual EBIT that will make the project economically viable if the cost of capital for the project is 10 percent and the firm will depreciate the investment using straight-line depreciation and a salvage value of $0? Assume that the marginal tax rate is 24 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round factor values to 6 decimal places, e.g .11.111111 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e. g. 5,275.)

The management of Nixon Corporation is investigating purchasing equipment that would cost $540,000 and have a 7 year life with no salvage value. The equipment would allow an expansion of capacity that would increase sales revenues by $375,000 per year and cash operating expenses by $216,500 per year. (Ignore income taxes.)   Required: Determine the simple rate of return on the investment.

Cendrawasih Inc. is considering replacing the equipment it uses to produce crayons. The equipment would cost RM1.37 million, have a 12-year life, and lower manufacturing costs by an estimated RM304,000 a year. The equipment will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a book value of zero. The required rate of return is 15 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent. Determine the net income from this proposed project.

Garden-Grow Products is considering a new investment whose data are shown below. The equipment would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the project's 3-year life, would have a zero salvage value, and would require some additional working capital that would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1 to 3.) Project cost of capital (r) Net investment in fixed assets (basis) Required new working capital Straight-line deprec. rate Sales revenues, each year Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year Tax rate a. $31,573 b. $30,069 c. $36,550 d. $34,809 e. $33,152 10.0% $75,000 $15,000 33.333% $75,000 $25,000 25.0%

A proposed expansion project is expected to increase sales by $74,300 and increase cash expenses by $46,900. The project will require $52,800 of fixed assets that will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the five-year life of the project. The store has a marginal tax rate of 23 percent. What is the operating cash flow of the project using the tax shield approach? Ignore bonus depreciation.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) The management of Kiwi Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of P263,000 and would last for 8 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be P66,000, which includes depreciation of P31,000. The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be P15,000. The payback period of the project is closest to:   3.8 years 2.6 years 4.0 years 2.7 years
