Eight years ago, a firm purchased a lathe for $45,000. The operating expenses for the lathe are $8,700 per year. An equipment vendor offers the firm a new machine for $53,500 with operating costs of $5,700 per year. An allowance of $8,500 would be made for the old machine on the purchase of the new one. The old machine was expected to be scrapped at the end of five years. The new machine's economic service life is five years with a salvage value of $12,000. The new machine's O&M cost is estimated to be $4,200 for the first year, increasing at an annual rate of $500 thereafter. The firm's MARR is 12%. Which option would you recommend?

An injection moulding machine was purchased 2 years ago. The machine has been depreciated on a straight-line basis with $500 salvage value, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,600, and it can be sold for $3,000 at this time. Assume, for ease of calculation, that the annual depreciation expense is $350 per year. The firm is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $8,000 an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. This machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class (20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 12%, 5%). The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $1,000 per year; even so, the new machine would cause operating expenses to decline by $1,500 per year. The machine would require that inventories be increased by $2,000 but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $500. The firm’s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40 percent, and its cost of capital is 15 percent. Should it replace…

Hurzdan, Inc., is considering the purchase of a $410,000 computer with an economic life of five years. The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight-line method. The market value of the computer will be $74,000 in five years. The computer will replace five office employees whose combined annual salaries are $119,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm’s required net working capital by $94,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 24 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 14 percent.   Calculate the NPV of this project.

The current machine being used is 5 years old and originally cost $60,000 and is being depreciated down to zero over a 10-year period. If the current machine were sold today, it could be sold for $45,000. In five years, the new machine is estimated to have a salvage value of $36,000. Two employees will need to be trained for the new machine at a cost of $4000. The new machine is expected to produce $80,000 in annual savings. Builtrite is in the 34% tax bracket. What is the terminal cash flow for the new machine? O $23.760 O $31,800 O $32,760

The Darlington Equipment Company purchased a machine 5 years ago at a cost of $85,000. The machine had an expected life of 10 years at the time of purchase, and it is being depreciated by the straight-line method by $8,500 per year. If the machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $5,000 at the end of its useful life. A new machine can be purchased for $170,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $45,000 per year. Sales are not expected to change. At the end of its useful life, the machine is estimated to be worthless. The new machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The old machine can be sold today for $50,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%. The appropriate WACC is 9%.   If the new machine is purchased, what is the amount of the initial cash flow at Year 0 after bonus depreciation is considered? Cash outflow should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$…
