Sub-Prime Loan Company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new office. Under the new tax law, the equipment used in the project is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation, so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. At the end of the project’s life, the equipment would have zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital (NOWC) would be required for the project. Revenues and operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.

Florida Car Wash is considering a new project whose data are shown below. The equipment to be used has a 3-year tax life. Under the new tax law, the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation, so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. At the end of the project's 3 - year life, it would have zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital (NOWC) would be required for the project. Revenues and operating costs will be constant over the project's life, and this is just one of the firm's many projects, so any losses on it can be used to offset profits in other units. If the number of cars washed declined by 40% from the expected level, by how much would the project's NPV change? (Hint: Note that cash flows are constant at the Year 1 level, whatever that level is.) Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.

The owner of Atlantic City Confectionary is considering the purchase of a new semiautomatic candy machine. The machine will cost $25,000 and last 10 years. The machine is expected to have no salvage value at the end of its useful life. The owner projects that the new candy machine will generate $4,000 in after-tax savings each year during its life (including the depreciation tax shield). Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: Compute the profitability index on the proposed candy machine, assuming an after-tax hurdle rate of: (a) 8 percent, (b) 10 percent, and (c) 12 percent.

Sub-Prime Loan Company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new office. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.
