The dean of the School of Fine Arts is trying to decide whether to purchase a copy machine to place in the lobby of the building. The machine would add to student convenience, but the dean feels compelled to earn an 12 percent return on the investment of funds. Estimates of cash inflows from copy machines that have been placed in other university buildings indicate that the copy machine would probably produce incremental cash inflows of approximately $12,500 per year. The machine is expected to have a three-year useful life with a zero salvage value. Note: Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Required a. Use Present Value Appendix PV of $1, to determine the maximum amount of cash the dean should be willing to pay for a copy machine. Note: Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. b. Use Present Value Appendix PVA of $1, to determine the maximum amount of cash the dean should be willing to pay for a copy machine. Note: Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. a.

For following problem, (a) draw the cash flow diagram; (b) present clean and clear manual solutions to the problem; (c) highlight the final answer (only the final answer as required by the problem) by enclosing it within a box. A new air conditioning system is to be installed in an office building. Purchasing and installing the system costs $100,000 and the company expects to save $50,000 every year on electricity bills. The company’s MARR is 10% per year, maintenance costs are worked out to be $10,000 per year and the system’s market value will be $20,000 at the end of 10 years. Use the FW method to determine whether the system should be installed.
The investment committee of Sentry Insurance Co. is evaluating two projects, office expansion and upgrade to computer servers. The projects have different useful lives, but each requires an investment of $490,000. The estimated net cash flows from each project are as follows: Net Cash Flows Year Office Expansion Servers 1 $125,000 $165,000 2 125,000 165,000 3 125,000 165,000 4 125,000 165,000 5 125,000 6 125,000 The committee has selected a rate of 12% for purposes of net present value analysis. It also estimates that the residual value at the end of each project's useful life is $0, but at the end of the fourth year, the office expansion's residual value would be $180,000. Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest Year 6% 10% 12% 15% 20% 1 0.943 0.909 0.893 0.870 0.833 2 0.890 0.826 0.797 0.756 0.694 3 0.840 0.751 0.712 0.658 0.579 4 0.792 0.683 0.636 0.572 0.482 5 0.747 0.621 0.567 0.497 0.402 6 0.705 0.564 0.507 0.432…

Mary Sullivan, capital outlay manager for Waxy Widgets, has been instructed to establish a contingency fund to cover the expenses over the next two years (24 months) associated with repairing defective widgets from a new production process. Waxy Widget’s controller wants to make equal monthly cash deposits into this fund. If Mary faces the following monthly repair costs and has $1 million to start the fund today, what will be her monthly payments into the fund in order to assume that all repair costs will be covered? Mary will make her first payment one month from today, and the fund will earn a nominal rate of 6 percent, compounded monthly. Months Repair Costs per month 1-4 $500,000 5-12 $250,000 13-24 $100,000
Mr. John Backster, a retired executive, desires to invest a portion of his assets in rental property. He has narrowed his choices to two apartment complexes, Windy Acres and Hillcrest Apartments. The anticipated annual cash inflows from each are as follows: Yearly Aftertax Hillcrest Apartments Yearly Aftertax Cash Inflow 50,000 55,000 70,000 85,000 90,000 Windy Acres Probability Cash Inflow 0.2 55,000 0.2 60,000 0.2 0.2 0.2 70,000 80,000 Probability 0.4 0.2 0.1 0.3 Mr. Backster is likely to hold the apartment complex of his choice for about 35 years and will use this period for decision-making purposes. Either apartment can be purchased for $200,000. Mr. Backster uses a risk-adjusted discount rate approach when evaluating investments. His scale is related to the coefficient of variation (for other types of investments, he also considers other measures). Coefficient of Variation 0-0.35 0.35-0.40 0.40-0.50 Over 0.50 Discount Rate 8% 12 (cost of capital) 16 not considered a. Compute the…
A small town in Ohio is considering the purchase of a new parking system that would enhance the collection of parking fees while providing additional convenience to shoppers. The hardware requires an immediate investment of $950. The town estimates that the new system will create an annual cash flow of $204 to be received at the end of each year, beginning in one year, for 7 consecutive years. And, in addition, the project will produce a terminal cash flow in year 8 of $304. What is the payback, in years, of the computer package?YearsPlace your answer in number of years, as an integer (whole number)
Students at Harvard University are interested in developing a 6th generation 3D printer. The project has a two-year life with an initial investment of $160,000 to fund a year-long development phase. At the end of a year, a further $85,000 is required for production. Cash inflows from sales will occur at the end of the second year. The Project Manager of this additive manufacturing development team at the university is very aware of the uncertainty about the amount of cash inflows as it is unclear whether the market will embrace such a new innovative device. The management team believes there is a 70 percent probability that the new device will be a success. They also believe that the direction of device will become more apparent over the next year. In particular, there is an 80 percent chance that the direction over the next year will continue over the subsequent year. If the device is initially a success and this direction continues in the next year, the payoff will be $465,000. If…
The staff of ProHealth Medical Services has established the following net cash flows for a food services operation that may open in its outpatient clinic. Year Expected Net Cash Flow 0 ($100,000) 1 40,000 2 40,000 3 40,000 4 40,000 5 40,000 5 (Salvage Value) 30,000 The time 0 cash flow is the net investment outlay, while the final amount is the terminal cash flow. The clinic is expected to move to a new building in five years. All other flows represent net operating cash flows ProHealth’s corporate cost capital is 10% a. What is the projects IRR? b. Assuming the project has average risk, what, is its NPV? c. Now, assume that the operating cash flows in years 1 through 5 could be as low as 30,000 or as high as $50,000. Furthermore, the salvage value cash flow at the end of year 5 could be as low as $0 or as high as $40,000. What are the worst-case and best-case IRRS? The worst-case and best-case NPVs?
