An after-tax analysis for a new $50,000 machine proposed for a fiber opticsmanufacturing line is in process. The CFBT for the machine is estimated at$20,000. If a recovery period of 5 years applies, use the present-worth-of-taxes criterion, an effective tax rate of 35%, and a return of 8% per year to compare the following: straight line, DDB, and MACRS depreciation. Use a 6-year period to accommodate the MACRS half-year convention.

The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?
The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
ACDC Company is considering the installation of a new machine that costs $150,000. The machine is expected to lead to net income of $44,000 per year for the next 5 years. Using straight-line depreciation, $0 salvage value, and an effective income tax rate of 28%, determine the after-tax rate of return for this investment. If the company’s after-tax MARR rate is 12%, would this be a good investment or not?
A start-up biotech company is considering making an investment of $100,000 in a new filtration system. The associated estimates are summarized below: Annual receipts $75,000 Annual expenses $45,000 Useful life 8 years Terminal book value (EOY 8) $20,000 Terminal market value $0 Straight-line depreciation will be used, and the effective income tax rate is 20%. The after-tax MARR is 15% per year. Determine whether this investment is an attractive option for the company. a. Using SL method and SV of $20k What is the MV at end of year 5? b. What is the PW of the investment?
A company has purchased a machine at the cost of $35,000. The machine is expected to provide annual savings of $50,000 for two years and is to be depreciated by the MACRS three-year recovery period. This machine will require annual operating and maintenance costs in the amount of $15,000. The salvage value at the end of two years is expected to be $8,000. a) Assuming a marginal tax rate of 30% and MARR of 10%, what are the following for the Income Statement: Revenue,Expenses, Depreciation, Taxable Income, Taxes (30%), Net Income. What are the following for the Cash Flow Statement: Net Income, Depreciation, Capital Expenditure, Salvage Value, Gains Tax / Credit, Net After Tax Cash Flow. b) Assume MARR of 8%, calculate NPV of the project.
The possibility of acquiring new machinery at a cost of $ 40,000 is being evaluated, which may be depreciated using the 5-year MACRS method. The machine should save $20,000 annually over its 5-year life and maintenance costs are estimated at $ 7,650 annually. If the company is taxed at a rate of 39%, determine if the investment meets the requirement of providing a minimum return of 11.5% after taxes (After-Tax analysis). Assume that at the end of its useful life, the machine will sell for $ 8,750. If the average inflation rate for the period is estimated at 2.7%, Calculate the real return on the investment after considering inflation. Determine the highest starting price that can be paid to meet the MARR Make your calculations in excel in a clear and orderly way, including any table you need
Gillespie Gold Products, Inc., is considering the purchase of new smelting equipment. The new equipment is expected to increase production and decrease costs, with a resulting increase in profits. First Cost is at $40,000; Savings per year is $10,000; Actual useful life is 5 years; Salvage value is $4000. a. Determine the ATCF using a tax rate of 42% and straight-line method of depreciation. b. If the average yearly inflation rate for the 5-year study period is 3.5%, what is the real-dollar ATCF that is equivalent to the actual-dollar ATCF? The base time period is year zero (b=0).

Elena's Café is investing in a new commercial refrigeration unit that will cost $40,000. They estimate that the unit will produce annual revenues of $12,000 for each of the next 6 years. The refrigeration unit will have negligible salvage value at the end of the next 6 years. Assuming a tax rate of 24%, a MACRS 5-year property class, 50% bonus depreciation, and an after-tax MARR of 8%, compute the present worth of the refrigeration unit and determine whether or not Elena's Café should invest in the refrigeration unit.
