Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?
WorldTrans is considering a new salsa whose data are shown below.

A Builder 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 weighted average cost of capital is 12%. Calculate the Net Present Value and IRR with and without mitigation. Should the project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do mitigation?
