- Calculating EAC You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $265,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $41,000 per year. The Techron II costs $330,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $52,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $25,000. If your tax rate is 21 percent and your discount rate is 9 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Which do you prefer? Why?arrow_forwardThe equipment will require an investment of $120,000 and an operating horizon of 7 years is estimated that integrates the life cycle of the technology and its products. As a pre-evaluation process, a market investigation was developed, which yielded an estimate of $70,000 as annual income, as well as a technical study of the operation and productivity of the production process of these devices, where a sizing of annual expenses was determined. of $45,000. Both amounts are assumed constant during the duration of the project. The company considers that if the equipment is acquired, it can be liquidated in 7 years at a net price of $40,000. The project leader sets a return of 12% per year to accept this investment, as this return is the common level for similar projects in the organization. What decision should this company make?

The project requires upfront R&D and marketing expenses of $10 million and a $30 million investment in equipment. The equipment will be obsolete in 3 years and will be depreciated using the straight-line method over that period. For each year over the next 3 years, the project offers annual sales of $100 million, has annual manufacturing costs of $30 million, and annual operating expenses of $10 million. Further, the project requires no net working capital in year 0, and $2.0 million in net working capital in each year from year 1 to year 2 and no net working capital in year 3. Beyond year 3, the project's free cash flows are expected to growth at an annual rate of 1%. Pivot currently has 20 million outstanding shares with its stock price of $30 per share, $320 million in debt, $20 million in excess cash, the cost of debt of 5%, and the cost of equity of 10%, and the corporate tax rate…arrow_forward
- 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?

To pursue this opportunity, the company would need to purchase a plece of equipment for $130,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and a $10,000 salvage value. The CCA rate for the equipment is 30%. After careful study.
