MAG Industrial needs 1000 square meters of storage space. Purchasing land for $80,000 and then erecting a temporary metal building at $70 persquare meter is one option. The president hopes to sell the land for $100,000 and the building for $20,000 after 3 years. Another option is to lease space for $30 per square meter per year payable at the beginning of each year. The MARR is 20%. Perform a present worth analysis of the building and leasing alternatives to determine the sensitivity of the decision if the construction cost decreases by 10% to $63 per square meter and the lease cost remainsat $30 per square meter per year.

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $970,000, and it would cost another $18,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $495,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $14,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $366,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
