A new 5-year project has expected sales of 4,000 units, ± 4 percent; variable costs per unit of $21, ± 2%; annual fixed costs of $46,000, ± 3 percent; annual depreciation of $42,000; and a sale price of $49 a unit, ± 3 percent. The project initially requires $210,000 of fixed assets and $25,000 of net working capital. At the end of the project, the net working capital will be recouped and the fixed assets will produce an aftertax cash inflow of $40,000. The tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent. What is the net present value of the optimistic scenario? Note: Round answers to zero decimal places (whole dollars). Enter numbers only-- do not use a dollar sign ($).

If produced by Plan A, a producer’s initial capital cost will be $120,000, its annual operating cost will be $30,000, and its salvage value after 4 years will be 20,000. With Plan B, there is a first cost of $240,000, an annual operating cost of $10,000, and $40,000 salvage value after 4-year life. Based on a present worth analysis at 15% interest rate, which plan should be chosen?

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.33 million. The fixed asset falls into the 3- year MACRS class (MACRS schedule). The project is estimated to generate $1,735,000 in annual sales, with costs of $640,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $300,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $255,000 at the end of the project. a. If the tax rate is 25 percent, what is the project's Year O net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to two decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.) b.

A project with a life of 10 has an initial fixed asset investment of $25,620, an initial NWC investment of $2,440, and an annual OCF of −$39,040. The fixed asset is fully depreciated over the life of the project and has no salvage value. If the required return is 10 percent, what is the project's equivalent annual cost, or EAC?

Bruin Building Supply is considering expansion. Operating cash flow will be $710,000 a year. The project will require new equipment costing $1,850,000 that would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the 5-year life of the project. The equipment will have a market value of $370,000 at the end of the project. The project requires an initial investment of $525,000 in net working capital, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The tax rate is 28.00 percent. What is the project's IRR? Answer in whole numbers, rounded to three decimal places.

Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.32 million. The fixed asset falls into the three-year MACRS class (MACRS schedule). The project is estimated to generate $1.735 million in annual sales, with costs of $650,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $250,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $180,000 at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent.   a.

A project requires an initial investment of $322,990 and its expected life is 7 years. Net operating income from the project is expected to be $28,100 each year, including depreciation of $42,270. The salvage value of the assets is expected to be $27,100 at the end of the life of the project. Ignoring income taxes, the payback period is: (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

A five-year project has an initial fixed asset investment of $355,000, an initial NWC investment of $39,000, and an annual OCF of −$38,000. The fixed asset is fully depreciated over the life of the project and has no salvage value. If the required return is 11 percent, what is this project’s equivalent annual cost, or EAC? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

A five - year project has an initial fixed asset investment of $335,000, an initial NWC investment of $35,000, and an annual OCF of -$34,000. The fixed asset is fully depreciated over the life of the project and has no salvage value. If the required return is 10 percent, what is this project's equivalent annual cost, or EAC? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

A project requires an initial investment of $150,000, to be depreciated straight-line over 3 years to an expected salvage value of $0. In addition, working capital will increase during the life of the project and amount to 20% of next year's revenues, with the investment in working capital to be made at the beginning of each year. The project will generate $150,000 additional annual revenues and $85,000 additional annual expenses. The tax rate is 25%. Cost of capital amount to 7,5%. Please calculate the Net Present Value of the project and show your calculations. Would you recommend the investment? Please explain your advice.
