Corrine Company owns a warehouse that it no longer needs in its own operations. The warehouse was built, at a cost of $270,000, 10 years ago, at which time its estimated useful life was 15 years. There are two proposals for the use of the warehouse: 1. Rent it at $72,000 per year, which includes estimated costs of $27,000 per year for maintenance, heat, and utilities to be paid by the lessor. 2. Sell it outright to a prospective buyer who has offered $225,000. Any capital gain would be taxed at the 30 percent rate.

There is unused space in the factory. This space can either be rented to another business for $20,000 per year or used to manufacture a new product. The new product would require an investment of $856,000 in equipment and $145,000 in working capital, the latter can be liquidated at the end of the product lifecycle, eight years in the future. The salvage value for the equipment at the end of 8-years is estimated at $58,000. The equipment will be placed in the 20% CCA asset pool. According to market research, 35,000 units of the product can be sold each year. The unit selling price is $55.00, its unit variable cost is $35.00, and fixed costs total $450,000 per year. These figures will remain unchanged throughout the product's life cycle. The corporate income tax rate is 35% and its cost of capital is 14%. The decision is being made before the 2019 tax year. Calculate the project's NPV using the six-step approach. Would you recommend approval for the project? 1) Initial investment…
The Ajax Specialty Items Corporation has received a 5-year contract to produce a new product. To do the necessary machining operations, the company is considering two alternatives. Alternative A involves continued use of the currently owned lathe. The lathe was purchased 5 years ago for $20,000. Today the lathe is worth $8,000 on the used machinery market. If this lathe is to be used, special attachments must be purchased at a cost of $3,500. At the end of the 5-year contract, the lathe (with attachments) can be sold for $2,000. Operating and maintenance costs will be $7,000/year if the old lathe is used. Alternative B is to sell the currently owned lathe and buy a new lathe at a cost of $25,000. At the end of the 5-year contract, the new lathe will have a salvage value of $13,000. Operating and maintenance costs will be $4,000/year for the new lathe. Using an annual worth analysis, should the firm use the currently owned lathe or buy a new lathe? Base your analysis on a minimum…
Simon Machine Tools Company is considering the purchase of a new set ofmachine tools to process special orders over the next three years. The following financial information is available:1. Without the project, the company expects to have a taxable income of$400,000 each year from its regular business over the next three years. 2. This three-year project requires the purchase of a new set of machine tools at a cost of $50,000. The equipment falls into the MACRS three-year class. The tools will be sold at the end of the project life for $10,000. The project will bring in additional annual revenue of $90,000, but it is expected to incur additional annual operating costs of $25,000.(a) What are the additional taxable incomes (from undertaking the project)during years 1 through 3, respectively?(b) What arc the additional income taxes (from undertaking the new orders) during years 1 through 3, respectively?
Jayco, Inc. would like to set up a new plant. Currently, Jayco has the opportunity to buy an existing building at a cost of $240,000. The building falls into a MACRS 39-year class, with depreciation rates of 1.3% in Year 1, 2.6% in each of Years 2-39, and 1.3% in Year 40. Necessary equipment for the plant will cost $150,000, including installation costs. The equipment falls into a MACRS 5-year class. Depreciation rates for this class are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The project would also require an initial investment of $50,000 in net working capital. The initial working capital investment would also be made at the beginning of the project’s life, that is, in Year 0. The project's estimated economic life is four years. At the end of that time, the building is expected to have a market value of $100,000, whereas the equipment would have a market value of $20,000. The production department has estimated that variable manufacturing costs would total 60% of sales and that fixed…
Freida Company is considering an asset replacement project ofreplacing a control device. This old control device has been fullydepreciated but can be sold for $5,000. The new control device, whichis more automated, will cost $42,000. The new device’s installation andshipping costs will total $16,000. The new device will be depreciatedon a straight-line basis over its 2-year economic life to an estimatedsalvage value of $0. The actual salvage value of this device at the endof 2-year period (That is, the market value of the device at the end of2-year period) is estimated to be $4,000. If the replacement project is accepted, Freida will require an initial working capital investment of$2,200 (that is, adding $2,200 initially to its net working capital).During the 1st year of operations, Freida expects its annual revenue toincrease from $72,800 to $90,000.
