The machine will be depreciated via 5-year MACRS schedule (20.0%, 32.0%, 19.2%, 11.5%, 11.5%, 5.8%). The firm estimates that the new machine can be sold at the end of its five-year life for $20,000.

The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $18,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $8,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $26,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%) 1. Depreciation expense 2. Incremental net operating income 3. Initial investment 4.…

Marker’s Tattoo Studio wants to buy new laser therapy equipment. This new equipment would cost $300,000 to purchase and $20,000 to install. Marker’s estimates that this new equipment would yield incremental margins of $98,000 annually due to new client services. It would require incremental cash maintenance costs of $10,000 annually. Marker’s expects the life of this equipment to be 5 years. They estimate a terminal disposal value of $20,000. Marker’s has a 25% income tax rate and depreciates assets on a straight-line basis (to terminal value) for tax purposes. The required rate of return on investments is 10%.Suppose that the tax authorities are willing to let Marker’s depreciate the new equipment down to zero over its useful life. If Marker’s plans to liquidate the equipment in 5 years, should it take this option? Quantify the impact of this choice on the NPV of the new equipment.

Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manufactured by Lollie Corporation. The machine can be used for 11 years and then sold for $16,000 at the end of its useful life. Lollie has presented Kiddy with the following options: 1. Buy machine. The machine could be purchased for $166,000 in cash. All maintenance costs, which approximate $11,000 per year, would be paid by Kiddy. 2. Lease machine. The machine could be leased for a 11-year period for an annual lease payment of $31,000 with the first payment due immediately. All maintenance costs will be paid for by the Lollie Corporation and the machine will revert back to Lollie at the end of the 11-year period. Required: Assuming that a 11% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year, determine which option Kiddy should choose. Ignore income tax considerations. Note:…
