Sunland Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Sunland is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased 5 years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Sunland spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $244,395. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7: Year 1 2 3 5 6 7 $389,500 400,400 410,500 425,400 433,000 435,400 436,600 The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $379.200. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $98.000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%. Click here to view PV table. Use the net present value method to determine the following: (If net present value is negative then enter with negative sign preceding the number eg.-45 or parentheses eg. (45). Round present value answer to O decimal places, eg. 125. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Calculate the net present value.

Austins cell phone manufacturer wants to upgrade their product mix to encompass an exciting new feature on their cell phone. This would require a new high-tech machine. You are excited about his new project and are recommending the purchase to your board of directors. Here is the information you have compiled in order to complete this recommendation: According to the information, the project will last 10 years and require an initial investment of $800,000, depreciated with straight-line over the life of the project until the final value is zero. The firms tax rate is 30% and the required rate of return is 12%. You believe that the variable cost and sales volume may be as much as 10% higher or lower than the initial estimate. Your boss understands the risks but asks you to explain the alternatives in a brief memo to the board, Write a memo to the Board of Directors objectively weighing out the pros and cons of this project and make your recommendation(s).
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?
New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer’s base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $605,000. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $380,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the Year-0 cash flow? What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e., the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? If the project’s cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?
Talbot Industries is considering launching a new product. The new manufacturing equipment will cost 17 million, and production and sales will require an initial 5 million investment in net operating working capital. The companys tax rate is 40%. a. What is the initial investment outlay? b. The company spent and expensed 150,000 on research related to the new product last year. Would this change your answer? Explain. c. Rather than build a new manufacturing facility, the company plans to install the equipment in a building it owns but is not now using. The building could be sold for 1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions. How would this affect your answer?
K Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $53,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead, and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $155,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $255,000. This machine will require $17,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $12,000 per year. Also, $36,000 will be spent upfront training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 9% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The corporate tax rate is 30%.

Zootopia farms is consider replacing one off its tractors. The tractor in question was purchased 2 years ago at a cost of $47,000. The time of purchase the tractor was expected to have a 5000 dollar salvage value at the end of is six year life. The tractor has a current book value of 33,000. If sold today the company could get 26000 for the tractor. It costs $29,000 per year to operate the existing tractor. The new tractor would cost $50,000 and would only cost 21,000 to operate every year. The new tractor would depreciate on a straight-line basis over its 4 year useful life to its expected salvage value of $7,000. The company’s required rate of return is 14 percent. Ignore income tax Answer the fallowing 1) Should the company replace the tractor in question support your answer with NPV calculation 2) provide 2 nonfinancial options that the management of Zootopia must consider in making the decision to replace the tractor.
