Dauten 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. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
The Ham and Egg Restaurant is considering an investment in a new oven that has a cost of $60,000, with annual net cash flows of $9,950 for 8 years. The required rate of return is 6%. Compute the net present value of this investment to determine whether or not you would recommend that Ham and Egg invest in this oven.
Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?
Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?
Friedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.

St. Anthony’s College is considering the replacement analysis of a concrete mixer. The old mixer has annual operating and maintenance costs of P35,000/yr. It can be kept for 5 years more. The old mixer can be sold to the manufacturer of the new mixer for P15,000. The new mixer will have a purchase price of P45,000 and it will have a value of P10,000 in five years’ time; and it will have annual operating and maintenance costs of P20,000/yr. If money is worth 15%, would you recommend for the replacement of the old concrete mixer?

A firm owns a pressure vessel that it is contemplating replacing. The old pressure vessel has annual operating and maintenance expenses of $60,000 per year and it can be kept for five more years, at which time it will have zero MV. It is believed that $30,000 could be obtained for the old pressure vessel if it were sold now. A new pressure vessel can be purchased for $120,000. The new pressure vessel will have an MV of $50,000 in five years and will have annual operating and maintenance expenses of $30,000 per year. Using a before-tax MARR of 20% per year, determine whether or not the old pressure vessel should be replaced. A study period of five years is appropriate.
Yoga Ltd is requesting a purchase of an upgraded class streaming system with an installed cost of $574,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the system can be sold tor $20,000. The old system will be sold off for $10,000. The system will generate new tuition of $116,000 per year with negligible changes to operating costs. In year three the software license will need to be renewed at a cost of 15,000. The system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $15,000. If required rate of return is 10 percent, what is the present value of net cash flow for Year 3 (rounded to a whole number)?
Apricot Computers is considering replacing its material handling system and either purchasing or leasing a new system. The old system has an annual operating and maintenance cost of $35,000, a remaining life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $5,100 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $286,000; it will be worth $26,000 in 8 years; and it will have annual operating and maintenance costs of $18,000/year . If the new system is purchased, the old system can be traded in for $18,000. Leasing a new system will cost $27,000/year , payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $9,100/year , payable at the end of the year. If the new system is leased, the old system will be sold for $10,000. MARR is 14%. Compare the annual worths of keeping the old system, buying a new system, and leasing a new system based upon a planning horizon of 8 years. What is the EUAC of the best option using the cash flow approach?
