Problem 6-23 Equivalent Annual Cost Sheep Ranch Golf Academy Is evaluating new golf practice equipment. The "Dimple- Max" equipment costs $125,000, has a 6-year life, and costs $9,600 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 9 percent. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to zero. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $9,300 at the end of the project's life. The relevant tax rate is 24 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of this equipment? (A negative amount should be Indicated by a minus sign. Do not round Intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 29,221.50 EAC $

QUESTION 7 You are considering starting a new factory producing small electric heaters. Each unit will sell at a price of $120. The production cost of each heater is $90. The fixed cost of production is $35000. This project has an economic life of 5 years. The project requires an investment of $125000 in plants and equipment. This equipment will be depreciated using a straight line depreciation method to a salvage value of zero. The required rate of return for the project is 12 percent. The marginal corporate tax rate is 21 percent. Based on these assumptions, calculate the number of units of production at the accounting (net profit) break-even point.
13 Sheep Ranch Golf Academy is evaluating new golf practice equipment. The "Dimple- Max" equipment costs $104,000, has a 5-year life, and costs $8,900 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 10 percent. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to zero. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $7,900 at the end of the project's life. The relevant tax rate is 22 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year.

Question 12 Outdoor Sports is considering adding a miniature golf course to its facility. The course would require a $138,000 loan with annual interest of $6,000, and the course would be depreciated on a straight line basis over its 5-year life with a zero salvage value. The estimated income from the golfing fees would be $72,000 a year with $24,000 of that amount being variable cost. The fixed cost would be $11,600. In addition, the firm anticipates an additional $14,000 in revenue from its existing facilities if the golf course is added. However, the firm expects its driving range income will decrease by $9,000 each year since the golf course across town closed down. The project will require $3,000 of net working capital, which is recoverable at the end of the project. If Outdoor Sports has a tax rate of 34 percent and a discount rate of 12 percent, what is the net present value of this project? Hint: Get operational cash flow first.

QUESTION 1 A new production system for a factory is to be purchased and installed for $115,042. This systom will save approximately 300,000 kWh of electric power each year for a6- year period. Assume the cost of electricity is $0.10 per kWh, and factory MARR is 15% per year, and the salvage value of the system wil be $9,196 at year 6. Using the PW method to analyzes if this investment is economically justified A- calculate the PW of the above investment and insert the result below

QUESTION 6 You are considering starting a new factory producing small electric heaters. Each unit will sell at a price of $55. The production cost of each heater is $35. You are expecting to sell 9000 units per year. This project has an economic life of 6 years. The project requires an investment of $700000 in plants and equipment. This equipment will be depreciated to zero salvage value based on 5-year MACRS schedule. The depreciation rates from year 1 to 6 are 20 %,32 %, 19.2 %, 11.52 %, 11.52 %, and 5.76 percent, respectively. The required rate of return for the project is 12 percent, the working capital requirement is 10 percent of the next year's sales revenue. The company will sell its old equipment for $100,000. The old machine is fully depreciated. The marginal corporate tax rate is 20 percent. At the termination of the project, the plant and equipment will be sold for an estimated value of $50000. Based on these assumptions, estimate the internal rate of return for this…
Problem 6-14 NPV and Bonus Depreciation Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $475,000 is estimated to result in $199,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $72,000. The press also requires an initial Investment in spare parts inventory of $38,000, along with an additional $4,000 in Inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 23 percent and its discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 32.16.) NPV S 618,123.75 Should the company buy and install the machine press? Yes No
Problem 6-8 Project Evaluation Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $495,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $73,000. The sausage system will save the firm $149,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $30,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
5. Problem 5 The purchase of a used pickup truck for $9,000 is being considered. Fuel and maintenance costs are $1,980 per year if the truck is driven 16,000 kilometers, and vary directly with mileage. Assume you will keep and use the truck for 5 years. The salvage value after five years of use decreases (from the original purchase price) by $0.05 per kilometer driven during that entire period. (a) Find the equivalent uniform annual cost, rounded to the nearest dollar, if the interest rate is 8%. (b) If the annual mileage is instead 24,000 km, what would the EUAC be? (c) If the annual mileage is instead 8,000 km, what would the EUAC be?
