After discovering a new gold vein in the Colorado mountains, CTC Mining Corporation must decide whether to go ahead and develop the deposit. The most cost-effective method of mining gold is sulfuric acid extraction, a process that could result in environmental damage. Before proceeding with the extraction, CTC must spend 900,000 for new mining equipment and pay 165,000 for its installation. The mined gold will net the firm an estimated 350,000 each year for the 5-year life of the vein. CTCs cost of capital is 14%. For the purposes of this problem, assume that the cash inflows occur at the end of the year. a. What are the projects NPV and IRR? b. Should this project be undertaken if environmental impacts were not a consideration? c. How should environmental effects be considered when evaluating this or any other project? How might these concepts affect the decision in part b?

To encourage capital investments, the government has exempted taxes on profits from new investments. This legislation is to be in effect for the foreseeable future. The machine is expected to have a 10-year useful life with no salvage value. Jensen uses straight-line depreciation. The net cash inflow is expected to be $46,000 each year for 10 years. Jensen uses a 12% discount rate in evaluating capital investments. Assume, for simplicity, that MACRS depreciation rules do not apply. Required: Using Excel (including built-in functions for NPV, IRR, and MIRR), compute the following for the above-referenced investment: 1. The payback period, under the assumption that cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 1 decimal place.) 2.

Ralph’s Bow Works (RBW) is planning to add a new line of bow ties that will require the acquisition of a new knitting and tying machine. The machine will cost $1.4 million. It is classified as a 7-year MACRS asset and will be depreciated as such. Interest costs associated with financing the equipment purchase are estimated to be $45,000 per year. The expected salvage value of the machine at the end of 10 years is $90,000. The decision to add the new line of bow ties will require additional net working capital of $40,000 immediately, $15,000 at the end of year 1, and $10,000 at the end of year 2. RBW expects to sell $350,000 worth of the bow ties during each of the 10 years of product life. RBW expects the sales of its other ties to decline by $25,000 (in year 1) as a result of adding this new line of ties. The lost sales level will remain constant at $25,000 over the 10-year life of the proposed project. The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $70,000 per year.…

A construction company is considering acquiring a new earthmover. The purchase price is $110,000, and an additional $25,000 is required to modify the equipment for special use by the company. The equipment falls into the MACRS seven-year classification (the tax life), and it will be sold after five years (the project life) for $50,000. The purchase of the earthmover will have no effect on revenues, but the machine is expected to save the firm $68,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 25%. Assume that the initial investment is to be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 10% payable annually.

Guelph Inc. would like you to assess the after-tax viability of a new machine using annual worth analysis. The machine costs $1,000,000 and are expected to save the company $175,000/y for the next 15 years. Guelph Inc. plans to sell the machine at the end of 15 years. The estimated salvage value of the machine at the end of its life is unknown, but Guelph Inc. suspects its depreciation will be similar to the CCA rate for the machine: 20%. Should Guelph Inc. invest in the machine, assuming they use an annual MARR of 10% and their corporate tax rate is 30%?
