Quip Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for $300,000. Management predicts that the machine will produce sales of $200,000 each year for the next 5 years. Expenses include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead (excluding depreciation), totaling $80,000 per year. The firm uses straight-line depreciation with an assumed residual (salvage) value of $50,000. Quip's combined income tax rate, t, is 40%. Management requires a minimum after-tax rate of return of 10% on all investments. What is the proposed investment's estimated net present value (NPV) (rounded to the nearest hundred)? (The PV annuity factor for 10%, 5 years, is 3.791, and for 4 years, it is 3.17. The present value of $1 factor for 10%, 5 years, is 0.621.) Assume that after-tax cash inflows occur at year-end. A. $48,800 B. $99,000 C. $112,000 D. $79,800

After discovering a new gold vein in the Colorado mountains, CTC Mining Corporation must decide whether to go ahead and develop the deposit. The most cost-effective method of mining gold is sulfuric acid extraction, a process that could result in environmental damage. Before proceeding with the extraction, CTC must spend 900,000 for new mining equipment and pay 165,000 for its installation. The mined gold will net the firm an estimated 350,000 each year for the 5-year life of the vein. CTCs cost of capital is 14%. For the purposes of this problem, assume that the cash inflows occur at the end of the year. a. What are the projects NPV and IRR? b. Should this project be undertaken if environmental impacts were not a consideration? c. How should environmental effects be considered when evaluating this or any other project? How might these concepts affect the decision in part b?

Utica Machinery Company purchases an asset for 1,200,000. After the machine has been used for 25,000 hours, the company expects to sell the asset for 150,000. What is the depreciation rate per hour based on activity?

Pique Corporation plans to purchase a new machine for $300,000. Management estimates that with the machine cash flows from sales will increase by $160,000 each year for the next 5 years. Expenses to generate the additional sales include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead (excluding depreciation) totaling $70,000 per year. The firm uses straight-line depreciation with no terminal disposal value for all depreciable assets. The new machine has an expected salvage value of zero at the end of the project. Pique's combined income tax rate is 20%. Management requires a minimum after-tax rate of return of 8% on all investments.a. Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) for this project.
