Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $395,000 is estimated to result in $151,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $51,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $22,000, along with an additional $3,200 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 22 percent and its discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV Should the company buy and install the machine press? O Yes O No
1) A manufacturing company pu rchased 10 years a milling machine for P60,000. A straight-line depreciation reserve had been provided on the 20-year life of the machine. The owner of the machine shop desires to replace the old milling machine with a modern unit of many advantages costing P100,000. It can sell the old unit for P20,000. How much new capital will be required for the purchase?
Certain new machinery used in manufacturing of motor vehicles, when placed in service, is estimated to cost $275,000. It is expected to reduce net annual operating expenses by $56,000 per year for 10 years and to have a $41,000 MV at the end of the 10th year. Assume that the firm is in the federal taxable income bracket of $335,000 to $10,000,000 and that the state income tax rate is 7.5%. State income taxes are deductible from federal taxable income. This machinery is to be depreciated using the MACRS (GDS). Develop the BTCFS and ATCFS and compute for the respective PWs at EOY O using an MARR of 12%.

The Smith and Jones Research and Development firm has bought a new laboratory equipment (MACRS-GDS 3-year property class) to be used in a research project that will last 3 years. The cost of equipment is $750,000 but require bringing a technician to install the equipment and train the personal with an additional cost of $75,000. The equipment’s supplier will buy back the equipment at the end of the project for $50,000. The O&M costs per year incurred by the equipment are $70,000. The firm signed a contract with the DOD that states that they will receive a one lump-sum of $Y at the end of the life of the research project that will generate a rate of return of 8%. The firm will finance the equipment with a loan at 6% interest rate per year, and considering that the firm will not generate any revenue until the end of year 3, the bank has agreed that principal and accrued interests will be paid at the end of year three. Perform an ATCF analysis to determine the value of Y$ that will…

A company just bought a new piece of equipment for $4.919 million. The following information is given: - after-tax annual interest rate = 17.9% - corporate tax rate = 29% - service life = 24 years - depreciation rate = 20% Calculate the present worth of the equipment's salvage value with tax effects.

A firm is considering purchasing a machine that costs $76,000. It will be used for six years, and the salvage value at that time is expected to be zero. The machine will save $42,000 per year in labor, but it will incur $16,000 in operating and maintenance costs each year. The machine will be depreciated according to five-year MACRS. The firm's tax rate is 35%, and its after-tax MARR is 17%. Should the machine be purchased? Click the icon to view the MACRS depreciation schedules.

7-22. A company is considering the purchase of a capital asset for $100,000. Installation charges needed to make the asset serviceable will total $30,000. The asset will be depreciated over six years using the straight-line method and an estimated salvage value (SV6) of $10,000. The asset will be kept in service for six years, after which it will be sold for $20,000. During its useful life, it is estimated that the asset will produce annual revenues of $30,000. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated to be $6,000 in the first year. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $1,000 per year each year thereafter. The after tax MARR is 12% and the effective tax rate is 40%. (7.9) a. Use the tabular format given in Figure 7-5 to compute the after-tax cash flows. b. Compute the after-tax present worth of the project, and use a uniform gradient in your formulation. c. The before-tax present worth of this asset is -$50,070. By how much would the annual revenues have to increase…
