Firm W, which has a 34 percent marginal tax rate, plans to operate a new business that should generate $48,000 annual cash flow and ordinary income for three years (years 0, 1, and 2). Alternatively, Firm W could form a new taxable entity (Entity N) to operate the business. Entity N would pay tax on the three-year income stream at a 24 percent rate. The nondeductible cost of forming Entity N would be $5,800. Firm W uses a 6 percent discount rate. Use Appendix A and Appendix B.
Required:
Complete the below tables to calculate NPV.
Should it operate the new business directly or form Entity N to operate the business
Firm Z, a corporation with a 21 percent tax rate, has $100,000 to invest in year 0 and two investment choices. Investment 1 will generate $12,000 taxable cash flow annually for years 1 through 5. In year 5, the firm can sell the investment for $100,000. Investment 2 will not generate any taxable income or cash flow in years 1 through 5, but in year 5, the firm can sell Investment 2 for $165,000.
Assuming a 6 percent discount rate, which investment has the greater NPV?
Would your answer change if Firm Z were a noncorporate taxpayer with a 35 percent tax rate and the gain on sale of Investment 2 were eligible for the 15 percent capital gains rate?

- Blazer Inc. is thinking of acquiring Laker Company. Blazer expects Laker's NOPAT to be $9 million the first year, with no net investment in operating capital and no interest expense. For the second year, Laker is expected to have NOPAT of $25 million and interest expense of $5 million. Also, in the second year only, Laker will need $10 million of net new investment in operating capital. Laker's marginal tax rate is 40%. After the second year, the free cash flows and tax shields will grow at a constant rate of 4%. Blazer has determined that Laker's cost of equity is 17.5%, and Laker currently has no debt outstanding.

The after-tax required rate of return of the project is 12% per annum. Intel can borrow at a before-tax interest rate of 10% per annum and buy the equipment outright or lease the equipment from ABC’s Leasing. The applicable corporate tax rate is 28% and the equipment will be fully depreciated to zero over the eight years using a straight-line method. Intel evaluated the lease and decided to buy the equipment by borrowing since the NPV of lease versus borrow-to-buy analysis was estimated to be -$10,000. However, subsequently Intel realised that in the analysis the purchase cost of the equipment had been under-estimated by $20,000, and also the salvage value of the equipment (at the end of the lease term) had been under-estimated by $7,000.
