A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $690,000. 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 12% 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 $142851.5 b. Suppose the device will be worth $97,000 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 $ sign in your response.) Cost savings $146983.3

You are considering purchasing a CNCmachine which costs $150,000. This machine willhave an estimated service life of 10 years with a netafter-tax salvage value of $15,000. Its annual aftertax operating and maintenance costs are estimatedto be $50,000. To expect an 18% rate of return oninvestment, what would be the required minimumannual after-tax revenues?
Your boss asked you to evaluate a project with an infinite life. Sales and costs project to $1,000 and $500 per year, respectively. (Assume sales and costs occur at the end of the year [i.e., profit of $500 at the end of year one]). There is no depreciation and the tax rate is 30 percent. The required rate of return is 10 percent. If the project costs $3,000, what is the NPV?
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Your Company is considering an investment in a project that will have a three-year life. The project will provide a 4% internal rate of return and is expected to have a $40,000 cash inflow the first year and a $0 cash inflow in the second year, and $50,000 cash inflow in the third year. What investment is required in the project?
Assume a machine costs $250,000 and lasts five years before it is replaced. The operating cost is $37,200 a year. Ignore taxes. What is the equivalent annual cost if the required rate of return is 8.5 percent? (Hint: the EAC should account for both investment and annual operating costs) O $124,166.76 O $118,285.43 O $112,404.10 O$106,522.77 $100,641.44
An adoption of a new system will lead to a reduction of the cost by as much as 18%. The cost of the new system is PhP103,542 once installed and the annual charges for taxes and insurance is 7% of the initial cost. Without he new system, the cost currently incurred is PhP248,847. If the new system will have no worth after 10 years of use, and a minimum return of 11% is desired, compute for the rate of return.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Kiwi Company is considering an investment in a project that will have a two year life. The project will provide a 10% internal rate of return, and is expected to have a P40,000 cash inflow the first year and a P50,000 cash inflow in the second year. What investment is required in the project? P90,000 P81,810 P77,660 P74,340
You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $1,950,000, have a 4-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to 0. Sales are projected at 180 units per year; price per unit will be $24,000; variable cost per unit will be $15,000; and fixed costs will be $540,000 per year. The required return on the project is 10%, and the relevant tax rate is 34%. d-2. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even point? (Round the final answer to 4 decimal places.) Note: To calculate the degree of operating leverage in this requirement, you need to use the OCF base. If you use depreciation, your answer will be marked incorrectly. Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
A new electronic process monitor costs $990,000. This cost could be depreciated at 30% per year (Class 10). The monitor would actually be worthless in five years. The new monitor would save $460,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. If we require a 15% return, what is the NPV of the purchase? Assume a tax rate of 40%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) NPV
