- Beryl's Iced Tea currently rents a bottling machine for $53,000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead, and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $150,000. This machine will require $20,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new, more advanced machine for $255,000. This machine will require $17,000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $12,000 per year. Also, $38,000 will be spent upfront training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 8% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a 10-year life with a negligible salvage value. The corporate tax rate is 28%.

Buying a new machine press for $417,000 is estimated to result in $155,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (MACRS schedule) and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $56,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $16,100, along with an additional $3,100 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 21 percent and its discount rate is 8 percent. Calculate the project's NPV. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.

The variable costs will be about half that, or $20,000 per boat, and fixed costs will be $465,000 per year. The total investment needed to undertake the project is $3,100,000. This amount will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 5-year life of the equipment. The salvage value is zero, and there are no working capital consequences.

- Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following: Machine A could be purchased for $54,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,700 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $5,670. Machine B could be purchased for $45,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $6,800 in year three, $8,500 in year six, and $10,200 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value. Required: Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?arrow_forwardYou are evaluating a potential purchase of several light - duty trucks. The initial cost of the trucks will be $194,000. The trucks fall in the MACRS 5-year class that allows depreciation of 20% the first year, 32% the second year, 19 % the third year, 12 % the fourth year, 11% the fifth year, and 6% the sixth year. You expect to sell the trucks for 29, 100 at the end of five years. The expected revenue associated with the trucks is $155,000 per year with annual operating costs of $81,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 25.0% . What is the after - tax cash flow associated with the sale of the equipment?

The truck has many advantages over the company's current truck (not the least of which is that it runs). The new truck would cost $56,210. Because of the increased capacity, reduced maintenance costs, and increased fuel economy, the new truck is expected to generate cost savings of $7,700. At the end of 8 years, the company will sell the truck for an estimated $28,200. Traditionally the company has used a rule of thumb that a proposal should not be accepted unless it has a payback period that is less than 50% of the asset's estimated useful life. Larry Newton, a new manager, has suggested that the company should not rely solely on the payback approach, but should also employ the net present value method when evaluating new projects.
