project requires an initial investment of $38 million in new equipment. The equipment is assumed to be depreciated to zero using the straight-line depreciation schedule over its 42-year life. The pre-tax salvage value of the equipment at the end of the project is assumed to be $8 million. No net working capital or additional capital investment is required for this project. The appropriate discount rate is 11%. The average tax rate is 21% and the marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the operating cash flow (OCF) in each year at the financial break-even quantity?

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.
Keyser Mining is considering a project that will require the purchase of $875,000 of equipment. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the seven-year life of the project after which it will be worthless. The required return is 13 percent and the tax rate is 34 percent. What is the value of the depreciation tax shield in year 4 of the project?
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
Tamim Products is planning to invest in an equipment to implement a cost-cutting proposal. The pre-tax cost reduction is expected to equal $8,500 for each of the five years of the project's life. The equipment has an initial cost of $28,000 and belongs to a 25% CCA class. The company is in 30% tax bracket, the project's discount rate is 12%, and its salvage value is zero. The equipment will be sold to another company at the end of year 5 for $4,500. What is the project's profitability index (PI)? (Use the half-year rule when calculating the CCA Tax Shield.
