Transcribed Image Text:Kinky Copies may buy a high-volume copier. The machine costs $130,000 and this cost can be fully depreciated immediately. Kinky
anticipates that the machine actually can be sold in 5 years for $30,000. The machine will save $22,000 a year in (after-tax) labor costs
but will require an increase in working capital, mainly paper supplies, of $11,000. The firm's tax rate is 21%, and the discount rate is 6%.
(Assume the net working capital will be recovered at the end of Year 5.)

It would cost $10 million at Year 0 to buy the equipment necessary to manufacture the server. The project would require net working capital at the beginning of each year in an amount equal to 10% of the year’s projected sales; for example, NWC0 10% Sales1. The servers would sell for $24,000 per unit, and Webmasters believes that variable costs would amount to $17,500 per unit. After Year 1, the sales price and variable costs will increase at the inflation rate of 3%. The company’s non-variable costs would be $1 million in Year 1 and would increase with inflation. The server project would have a life of 4 years. If the project is undertaken, it must be continued for the entire 4 years. Also, the project’s returns are expected to be highly correlated with returns on the firm’s other assets. The firm believes it could sell 1,000 units per year.

- You are contemplating the replacement of an old printing machine with a new model costing $63,000. The old machine, which originally cost $40,000, has 6 years of expected life remaining and the current book value of $14,000 versus the current market value of $21,000. The firm's corporate tax rate is 24 percent.

This cost could be depreciated at 30% per year (Class 10). The monitor would actually be worth $100,000 in five years. The new monitor would save $460,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. The new monitor requires us to increase net working capital by $47,200 when we buy it. Assume a tax rate of 40% and a 15% return. a. Suppose the monitor was assigned a 25% CCA rate. Calculate the new NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.
