The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?

Tuas Limited (“Tuas”) is considering to replace its existing air-conditioning system with an energy efficient centralised cooling system that is compliant with BCA Green Mark 2021 (“new cooling system”).Civil engineering costs to assess the feasibility of the new cooling system of $50,000 was incurred last month. Installing the new cooling system will cost $320,000, and maintenance expense of $25,000 per year is required. An initial investment in spare parts inventory of $12,000 is needed, which will be fully recovered at the end of its useful life of five years.Savings in utilities is estimated to be $150,000 per year for the next five years. Tuas adopts a policy of depreciating such equipment to zero net book value equally over five years. A salvage value of $20,000 is anticipated. Corporate tax rate is 17% and the discount rate is 10%. Tuas is also considering the following five projects, and has $8M available to invest: see image Examine which projects Tuas should invest in and…

Bartlet Industries is considering a new product line and will need to replace older equipment with new equipment in order to manufacture the product. The new machine will cost $250,000 with an installation cost of $25,000, and will be depreciated using the five year MACRS depreciation schedule in the table in question 4. Bartlet also spent $25,000 for a market analysis to measure demand for the new product. The old machine is four years old, had an original depreciable base of $150,000 and is being depreciated using the same five year MACRS depreciation schedule. The machine is expected to be sold for $30,000. An investment in working capital totaled $20,000. Revenues are expected to be $250,000 in the first year, and grow by 5% each year of the project’s four year life. Fixed expenses are expected to be $45,000 per year and variable expenses will begin year 1 at $35,000 and grow with sales at 5% each year. The project is expected to last four years. After the fourth year, the…
An engineer is working on the layout of a new research and experimentation facility. Two plant operators will be required. If, however, an additional $150,000 of instrumentation and remote controls were added, the plant could be run by a single operator. The total before-tax cost of each plant operator is projected to be $52,500 per year. The instrumentation and controls will be depreciated using the MACRS 5-year depreciation schedule.(a) Find the rate of return on the project, and the after tax payback period.(b) Based on a MARR of 15%, is this a desirable investment?
Swagger Manufacturing Corporation (SMC) is planning to invest in new machinery to produce a new product line. The invoice price of the machinery is $320,000. It would require $10,000 in shipping expenses and $20,000 in installation costs. The machinery falls in MACRS 3-year class with depreciation rates of 33.33% for the first year, 44.45% for the second year, 14.81% for the third year, and 7.41% for the fourth year. SMC plans to use the new machinery for four years and it is expected to have a salvage value of $75,000 after four years of use. SMC expects the new machinery to generate sales of 1,500 units in the first year. Unit growth is expected to be 4% after the first year. The company estimates that the new product will sell for $225 per unit in the first year with a cost of $150 per unit, excluding depreciation. Management projects that both the sale price and the cost per unit will increase by 3% per year due to inflation. Net working capital is projected to be 15% of next…
The Salalah Coffee Company is evaluating the within-plant distribution system for its new roasting, grinding, and packing plant. The finance manager could estimate the Earning before Depreciation and Tax and the project managers were given the task of first finding the Cash flow after Tax (CFAT) and then understand if the project could be accepted or rejected.
