Razorback Manufacturing is considering replacing a broken metal cutting machine. Several options have been proposed.Option 1: The broken machine can be sold today for $3,000.Option 2: It can be overhauled completely for $7,000, after which it willproduce $2,500 in annual cash flows over the next five years. The resalevalue of the asset at the end of five years is zero.Option 3: It can be replaced for $18,000. The life of the replacement machine is five years, and it has an estimated salvage value of $2,000 at the end of five years. The anticipated operating cash inflows for each year will be $5,000. If the firm's required rate of return of 12%, what should Razorback do?

McKnight Co. is considering acquiring a manufacturing plant. The purchase price is $1,100,000. The owners believe the plant will generate net cash inflows of $325,000 annually. It will have to be replaced in seven years. Use the payback method to determine whether McKnight should purchase this plant. Round to one decimal place. Select the formula, then enter the amounts to calculate the payback period for the plant. (Round payback to one decimal place, X.X.) = Payback + = The payback occurs the plant must be replaced, so the payback method purchasing the plant. ne 41 1 2 Q A exactly when well after well before (a 2 W S #t * 3 LU E D $ 4 % 5 R T FIL 40 6 W & years hp 7 Y H G 8 J ( 9 K fio ► 11 O BUD P [ . 4 pause L ? enter og up

The management of Kunkel Company is considering the purchase of a $21,000 machine that would reduce operating costs by $5,000 per year. At the end of the machine’s five-year useful life, it will have zero salvage value. The company’s required rate of return is 12%.   Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using table.   Required: 1. Determine the net present value of the investment in the machine. 2. What is the difference between the total, undiscounted cash inflows and cash outflows over the entire life of the machine?

Maxwell Manufacturing is contemplating the purchase of a new machine to replace a machine that has been in use for seven years. The old machine has a net book value (NBV) of $51,000 and still has five years of useful life remaining. The old machine has a current market value of $5,100, but is expected to have no market value after five years. The variable operating costs and depreciation expenses (straight-line basis) are $120,000 per year. The new machine will cost $86,000, has an estimated useful life of five years with zero disposal value after five years, and an annual operating expense of $101,000 (including straight-line depreciation). Considering the five years in total and ignoring the time value of money and income taxes, what is the difference in total relevant costs for the two decision alternatives (keep vs. replace)?

A new high-efficiency digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $130,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $45,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $50,000. The firm's tax rate is 35%, and the appropriate cost of capital is 14%.   If the new flange-lipper is purchased, what is the amount of the initial cash flow at Year 0?

Wells Printing is considering the purchase of a new printing press. The total installed cost of the press is $2.14 million. This outlay would be partially offset by the sale of an existing press. The old press has zero book​ value, cost $0.99 million 10 years​ ago, and can be sold currently for $1.24million before taxes. As a result of acquisition of the new​ press, sales in each of the next 5 years are expected to be $1.54 million higher than with the existing​ press, but product costs​ (excluding depreciation) will represent 52% of sales. The new press will not affect the​ firm's net working capital requirements. The new press will be depreciated under MACRS table attached, using a​ five-year recovery period. The firm is subject to a 40% tax rate. Wells​ Printing's cost of capital is 10.8%. ​(Note: Assume that the old and the new presses will each have a terminal value of $0 at the end of year​ 6.) d. Determine the net present value​ (NPV) and the internal rate of return​ (IRR)…

Henrie's Drapery Service is investigating the purchase of a new machine for cleaning and blocking drapes. The machine would cost $151,640, including freight and installation. Henrie's estimated the new machine would increase the company's cash inflows, net of expenses, by $40,000 per year. The machine would have a five-year useful life and no salvage value. Click here to view Exhibit 148-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using table. Required: 1. What is the machine's internal rate of return? Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole percentage, i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12%. 2. Using a discount rate of 10%, what is the machine's net present value? Interpret your results. 3. Suppose the new machine would increase the company's annual cash inflows, net of expenses, by only $35,030 per year. Under these conditions, what is the internal rate of return?

A division of Virginia City Highlands Manufacturing is considering purchasing for $1,500,000 a machine that automates the process of inserting electronic components onto computer motherboards. The annual cost of operating the machine will be $50,000, but it will save the company $370,000 in labor costs each year. The machine will have a useful life of 10 years, and its salvage value in 10 years is estimated to be $300,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used in calculating taxes for this project, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 32 percent. If the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent, what is the NPV of this project?

International Soup Company is considering replacing a canning machine. The old machine is being depreciated by the straight-line method over a 10-year recovery period from a depreciable cost basis of $120,000.
