Sprite Canada has decided to acquire a bottling machine for its existing plant. The cost of the machine is $450,000. In five years the machine is expected to have a salvage value of $150,000. Bank of Nova Scotia has agreed to advance funds for the entire purchase price at 8 percent per annum payable in equal instalments at the end of each year over the five years. As an alternative, the machine could be leased over the five years from the manufacturer, Metalworks LTD., with an annual lease payments of $100,000 payable at the beginning of each year. Sprite Canada's tax rate is 40 percent. Its cost of capital is 15 percent, and its tax shields are realized at the end of the year. Bottling machines have a CCA rate of 20 percent. If the machine is owned, annual maintenance costs will be $5,000. Required: Should Sprite Canada lease or buy its machine? Show all calculations.

RealTurf is considering purchasing an automatic sprinkler system for its sod farm by borrowing the entire $30,000 purchase price. The loan would be repaid with four equal annual payments at an interest rate of 12%/year. It is anticipated that the sprinkler system would be used for 9 years and then sold for a salvage value of $2,000. Annual operating and maintenance expenses for the system over the 9-year life are estimated to be $9,000 per year. If the new system is purchased, cost savings of $15,000 per year will be realized over the present manual watering system. RealTurf uses a MARR of 15%/year for economic decision making. Based on a present worth analysis, is the purchase of the new sprinkler system economically attractive?
A newly constructed water treatment facility costs $2 million. It is estimated that the facility will need revamping to maintain the original design specification every 30 years at a cost of $1 million. Annual repairs and maintenance costs are estimated to be $100,000. At an interest rate of 8%, determine the capitalized cost of the facility, assuming that it will be used for an indefinite period.
Galvanized Products is considering the purchase of a new computer system for its enterprise data management system. The vendor has quoted a purchase price of $100,000.

Galvanized Products uses a MARR of 18%/yr to evaluate investments. Solve a. What is the external rate of return of this investment? b. What is the decision rule for judging the attractiveness of investments based on external rate of return? c. Should the new computer system be purchased?
Mowbot Company is evaluating the production of a new part. It would require the acquisition of a special CNC lathe costing $375,000. The machine would be used for five years then sold for $135,000.

Shado, Incorporated, is considering an investment of $446, 000 in an asset with an economic life of five years. The firm estimates that the nominal annual cash revenues and expenses at the end of the first year will be $284, 900 and $89, 200, respectively. Both revenues and expenses will grow thereafter at the annual inflation rate of 4 percent. The company will use the straight-line method to depreciate its asset to zero over five years. The salvage value of the asset is estimated to be $66,000 in nominal terms at that time. The one - time net working capital investment of $20, 500 is required immediately and will be recovered at the end of the project. The corporate tax rate is 21 percent. What is the project's total nominal cash flow from assets for each year? (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
Argyl Manufacturing is evaluating the possibility of expanding its operations. This expansion will require the purchase of land at a cost of $150,000. A new building will cost $120,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years to a salvage value of $0. Actual land salvage at the end of 10 years is expected to be $200,000.

Neptune company plans to purchase a new machine for the expansion project. The machine’s price is RM200,000 and it would cost another RM20,000 for installation and RM 15,000 for net working capital. The company is planning to finance the machine’s cost through bank loan with an interest rate of 8% per year.

RBW expects the sales of its other ties to decline by $23,000 (in year 1) as a result of adding this new line of ties. The lost sales level will remain constant at $23,000 over the 10-year life of the proposed project. The cost of producing and selling the ties is estimated to be $70,000 per year.…
