1. Your company is considering a new computer system initially costing $1.25 million. It will save $400,000 per year ininventory and receivables management costs. The system is expected to last for five years and will be depreciated using3-year MACRS. The system is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 at the end of year 5. There is no impact onnet working capital. The marginal tax rate is 21 %. The required return is 9%. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project.

. A company is considering the purchase of a new printer. It can purchase the printer for $900 and sell its current printer for $300 today. The new printer will last for 6 years and save $200 a year in expenses. The opportunity cost of capital is 15%, and the firm's tax rate is 40%. If the firm uses straight line-depreciation to a salvage value of zero over a six year life, what are project’s cash flows and NPV? Should the company purchase the new printer?
A new machine costs $1,050,110 and falls in a 34.00% CCA class. The machine will have zero value after 5 years of use but will save $487,790 annually in operating costs before taxes in those five years. Assume a tax rate of 36.33%. Using a required return of 17.27%, what is the NPV of the machine purchase?

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company has some equipment that can either be repaired right now for $50,000 or sold for $13,000 scrap value. As an alternative, Your Company could buy new equipment for $150,000. Both pieces of equipment would last 8 years. The annual operating expenses of the new equipment would be $8,500 less than the operating costs of the old machine. In addition, the new machine would be able to produce 100 more units that can be sold for a contribution margin of $65 per unit. The new equipment is expected to have a $10,000 salvage value in 8 years. Your Company discount rate is 8%. What is the net present value of the decision to buy the new equipment instead of repairing the old equipment? a $4,605 b $3,225 c $1,605 d ($ 795)
A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $700,000. It is in Class 8 (CCA rate=20%) for CCA purposes. It will actually function for five years, at which time it will have no value. There are no working capital consequences from the investment, and the tax rate is 35% a What must the pre-tax cost savings be for us to favour the investment? We require an 10% return (Hint. This one is a variation on the problem of setting a bid price) (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) Cost savings b Suppose the device will be worth $98,000 in salvage (before taxes). How does this change your answer? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit S sign in your response.) Cost savings
Suppose you are considering an investment project that requires $800,000, has a six-year life, and has a salvage value of $100,000. Sales volume is projected to be 65,000 units per year. Price per unit is $63, variable cost per unit is $42, and fixed costs are $532,000 per year. The depreciation method is a five-year MACRS. The tax rate is 35% and you expect a 20% return on this investment.(a) Determine the break-even sales volume.(b) Calculate the cash flows of the base case over six years and its NPW.(c) lf the sales price per unit increases to $400, what is the required break-even volume?(d) Suppose the projections given for price, sales volume, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurale to wi thin ± 15%. What would be the NPW figures of the best-case and worst-case scenarios?
Fitzgerald Computers is considering a new project whose data are shown below. The required equipment has a 3-year tax life, after which it will have zero book value, and it will be depreciated by the straight-line method over 3 years. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 4-year life. What is the project's Year 4 cash flow? $65,000 Equipment cost (depreciable basis) Straight-line depreciation rate Sales revenues, each year Operating costs (excl. deprec.) Tax rate a. $27,500 b. $28,438 c. $22,750 d. $21,000 e. $30,333 33.33% $60,000 $25,000 35.0%
The Gamma Inc. is planning to spend P600,000 for a machine that will depreciate on a straight-line basis over a ten-year period with no terminal disposal price. The machine will generate cash flow from operations of P120,000 a year. Ignoring income taxes, what is the accounting rate of return on the net initial investment? (in percentage)
Your firm is considering investing in a new capital project that requires an initial investment of $8,000,000. This equipment will be depreciated by the straight-line over four years down to a value of zero. The machinery also has an operation life of four years. At the end of that life, you estimate it will have a salvage value of $120,000. Any gain or loss on the resell will be taxed at the firm's marginal tax rate. During the four-year life, the project should generate annual cash flows of $225,000 per year. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 22%, and it requires a return of 8.50% on projects of such risk. What is the Net Present Value of this project?
You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $960,000, have a 5-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 350 units per year; price per unit will be $15,955, variable cost per unit will be $12,000, and fixed costs will be $625,000 per year. The required return on the project is 10 percent, and the relevant tax rate is 23 percent. Based on your experience, you think the unit sales, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given here are probably accurate to within +10 percent. a. What are the best-case and worst-case NPVs with these projections? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. b. What is the base-case NPV? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. c. What is the sensitivity of your base-case NPV to changes in fixed costs? Note: A…
We are evaluating a project that costs RM604,000, has an 8-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 55,000 units per year. Price per unit is RM36, variable cost per unit is RM17, and fixed costs are RM685,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent and we require a return of 15 percent on this project. (i) Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV., (ii) Assume the sales figure increases to 56,000 units per year, calculate the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure?
3. Suppose that the new equipment has a cost basis of $12,000 and a salvage value of $3,000 at the end of 6 years. This asset is depreciated by the Straight-Line method. The effective income tax rate is 40 % and the after-tax MARR ic = 10%. If the company is going to sell this asset after 3 years at the market value of $6,000, what is the minimum profit per year this asset should produce to breakeven the investment? (20%)
