New-Project Analysis
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $830,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $485,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $17,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $351,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.)

I'm still trying to figure out this last part. The homework says this is wrong, but I cannot follow your work to see if there is just an error in the decimals. Please explain how you got this last part.

Imagine you are being offered to invest in a food truck as part of a restaurant business. The truck including equipment costs $100,000, has an expected useful lifespan of 10 years, and the estimated salvage value then is $5,000. The food truck will require a $20,000 overhaul after 6 years of use. The food truck costs $5000 per year to operate and maintain, but it will save the underlying restaurant operator $40,000 per year in labour and lease payments. As you are contemplating the offer you evaluate the economics of this idea... Your cost of borrowing money is 10%. You set yourself an MARR of 14%. What should you do? Invest or not? a) Use a timeline graph to summarize cash outflows and inflows over time. b) Conduct the ERR analysis. Explain each step of your analysis and related assumptions. Report the level of ERR for this proposal and discuss whether or not you (the decision maker) should invest?arrow_forward
