- Ogren Corporation is considering purchasing a new spectrometer for the firm's R&D department. The purchase price is $70,000 and it would cost another $15,000 to install it. The spectrometer which falls into the MACRS 3-year property class (Year 1-33.33%, Year 2 - 44.44%, Year 3 - 14.82%, and Year 4 - 7.41%) is projected to be sold after three years for $30,000. Use of this equipment would result in an increased net working capital of $4,000 over the life of the machine. The spectrometer would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $35,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's tax rate is 40%, and the required rate of return on the project is 11%. What amount should be used as the initial cash flow for this project? Why?

- Two stamping machines are under consideration for purchase by a metal recycling company. The manual model will cost $25,000 to buy with an eight-year life and a $5,000 salvage value. Its annual operating costs will be $16,000. A computer-controlled model will cost $95,000 to buy and it will have a twelve-year life if upgraded at the end of year six for $15,000. Its terminal salvage value will be $23,000, with annual operating costs of $7,500 for labor and $2,500 for maintenance.

- An injection moulding machine was purchased 2 years ago. The machine has been depreciated on a straight-line basis with $500 salvage value, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,600, and it can be sold for $3,000 at this time. Assume, for ease of calculation, that the annual depreciation expense is $350 per year. The firm 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. This machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class (20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 12%, 5%). The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $1,000 per year; even so, the new machine would cause operating expenses to decline by $1,500 per year. The machine would require that inventories be increased by $2,000 but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $500. The firm’s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40 percent, and its cost of capital is 15 percent.
