The project will generate $30,000 of pretax operating cash inflow annually. The company has a 25% effective income tax rate and uses a 10% discount rate for investment projects. Which of the following represents the NPV of the project? Select one: a. $(14,707) b. $(33,661) c. $13,724 d. $4,246

BE12.4 Caine Bottling Corporation is considering the purchase of a new bottling machine. The machine would cost $200,000 and has an estimated useful life of 8 years with zero salvage value. Management estimates that the new bottling machine will provide net annual cash flows of $34,000. Management also believes that the new bottling machine will save the company money because it is expected to be more reliable than other machines, and thus will reduce downtime. How much would the reduction in downtime have to be worth in order for the project to be acceptable? Assume a discount rate of 9%. (Hint: Calculate the net present value.) Compute net present value and profitability index.
#17 Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.51 million machine. It will cost $50,155.00 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using the straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $4.48 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.46 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 34.00%. The cost of capital for the firm is 15.00%. (answer in dollars..so convert millions to dollars) What is the year 0 cash flow for the project?

59 Salvage Co. is considering the purchase of a new ocean-going vessel that could potentially reduce labor costs of its operation by a considerable margin. The new ship would cost P500,000 and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method over 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the ship will have no value and will be sunk in some already polluted harbor. The Salvage Co.'s cost of capital is 12 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent. The ship produces equal annual labor cost savings over its 10-year life. What is the present value of the depreciation tax benefit of the new ship? (Round to the nearest peso.)

The existing machine has a current market value of P175,000. The replacement machine would cost P320,000, have a 4 year life, and save P100,000 per year in cash operating costs. If the replacement machine would be depreciated using the straight-line method and the tax rate is 40%, what would be the increase in income after taxes if the company replaces the machine?
身 I LL Canvas Foley Systems is considering a new project whose data are shown below.

No. 3 A construction company is deciding to undertake a project. The project is quite profitable as it will generate net cash inflows of $20 million per year for 5 years. However, it will cause pollution to the nearby residents. The company can mitigate this pollution by investing additional 10 million at Year 0 but legally it is not compulsory for it to do so. Undertaking this project would cost $60 million without mitigation. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual cash inflows would be $22 million. The risk adjusted WACC is 12%. A) Calculate the NPV and IRR with and without mitigation. B) Should the project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do mitigation?

Assume that a company purchased a new machine for $26,000 that has no salvage value. The machine is expected to save the company $6,000 a year in cash operating costs for seven years. The company also expects the machine to provide annual intangible benefits that are difficult to quantify. Assuming the company’s hurdle rate is 24%, the minimum value of the intangible benefits that would be required to make this investment acceptable is closest to:
