Question
The Fleming Company, a food distributor, is considering replacing a filling line at its Oklahoma City warehouse. The existing line was purchased several years ago for $600,000. The line’s book value is $200,000, and Fleming management feels it could be sold at this time for $150,000. A new, increased capacity line can be purchased for $1,200,000. Delivery and installation of the new line are expected to cost an additional $100,000. Assuming Fleming’s marginal tax rate is 40%, calculate the net investment for the new line.

- The Sweetwater Candy Company would like to buy a new machine that would automatically “dip” chocolates. The dipping operation is currently done largely by hand. The machine the company is considering costs $200,000. The manufacturer estimates that the machine would be usable for five years but would require the replacement of several key parts at the end of the third year. These parts would cost $10,100, including installation. After five years, the machine could be sold for $9,000. The company estimates that the cost to operate the machine will be $8,100 per year. The present method of dipping chocolates costs $41,000 per year. In addition to reducing costs, the new machine will increase production by 8,000 boxes of chocolates per year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $1.40 per box. A 20% rate of return is required on all investments.

The new one would replace the existing sifter that was purchased 3 years ago at an installed cost of $60,000. If the company moves forward with the replacement, it could sell the old sifter for $19,000. Purchasing the new sifter would resu in the company's current assets increasing by $10,000 and current liabilities increasing by $8,000. The company uses the 5-year MACRS table for depreciation and is taxed at 21%. a) What is the accumulated depreciation of the old sifter? b) What is the current book value of the old sifter? c) What is the amount of depreciation recapture/recovery? d) What is the tax on the sale of the old sifter? e) What are the after-tax proceeds from the sale of the old sifter? f) What is the change in Net Working Capital? g) What is the initial investment for the project?arrow_forwardA firm is considering replacing the existing industrial air conditioning unit.

The machine now in operation has a book value of zero and a salvage value of zero. However, it is in good working condition with an expected life of 10 additional years. The new drill press is more efficient than the existing one and, if installed, will provide an estimated cost savings (in labor, materials, and maintenance) of $6,000 per year. The new machine costs $25,000 delivered and installed. It has an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $1,000 at the end of this period. The firm’s cost of capital is 14 percent, and its marginal income tax rate is 40 percent. The firm uses the straight-line depreciation method. Complete the following table to compute the net present value (NPV) of the investment. (Hint: Remember that, in Year 10, Alliances also receives the salvage value of the machine.)

The project requires use of an existing warehouse, which the firm acquired three years ago for $3 million and which it currently rents out for $101,000. Rental rates are not expected to change going forward. In addition to using the warehouse, the project requires an upfront investment into machines and other equipment of $1.5 million. This investment can be fully depreciated straight-line over the next 10 years for tax purposes. However, Arnold Inc. expects to terminate the project at the end of eight years and to sell the machines and equipment for $468,000. Finally, the project requires an initial investment into net working capital equal to 10 percent of predicted first-year sales.
